This list only includes destroyed vehicles and equipment of which photo or videographic evidence is available. Therefore, the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here. Loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles and derelict equipment are not included in this list. All possible effort has gone into avoiding duplicate entries and discerning the status of equipment between captured or abandoned. Many of the entries listed as 'abandoned' will likely end up captured or destroyed. Similarly, some of the captured equipment might be destroyed if it can't be recovered. When a vehicle is captured and then lost in service with its new owners, it is only added as a loss of the original operator to avoid double listings. When the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it's not included in the list. The Soviet flag is used when the equipment in question was produced prior to 1991. This list is constantly updated as additional footage becomes available.

Calling someone a RuZZian on FR is considered an insult.
Calling someone a Comrade on FR is considered an insult.
Summarizing this war:
A tragedy for Ukraine.
A disaster for RuZZia.
A strategic win for the USA. The biggest winner of the war.
“More than three decades after Reagan left office, most Republicans still believe that America is a force for good.”

“Russian channels continue commenting on Avdiivka with some fascinating levels of doom: “Judging by the enemy’s video recordings, we have ALREADY lost no less equipment than they did during the entire summer campaign near Rabotino. And if they initially did not intend to hit with all their might, but only imposed local activity all summer, then the plan is quite workable.””

“A quick update from Avdiivka: “Last night, the [Russians] got so f*cked that they had to pause the offensive. Since morning and until now we already f*cked 4 of their tanks, and stopped counting BMPs and infantry. “It’s not yet evening,” said the fighters””

“At a Ukrainian control room, notifications ping onto a screen as a U.S.-supplied radar locates Russian artillery guns firing on Ukrainian positions.
A Ukrainian team plots the coordinates on a tablet map, sharing them online with drone units tasked with confirming targets and gunners tasked with destroying them.
The operation is an example of how Ukraine has honed its system of identifying and destroying Russian artillery, giving its armed forces an important advantage as they try to push forward and retake occupied land.”

Kremlin snuffbox, Section 1A:
Avdiivka is a nightmare.
It is difficult to convey in words what is happening in the Avdiivska direction, but there is real horror there. A few days ago there were the first large-scale attempts to take the Avdiivska terikon (waste mound), but they were unsuccessful. Yesterday there was a new breakout attempt, and again big losses.
“The generals knew that Putin would come and decided to give him a gift. We have been fighting for Avdiivka since 1914. They tried to take the terikon to cut off the supply, but alas, the gift did not work out. There are a lot of dead. We can’t even count,” an officer working at the headquarters of the Russian Armed Forces in Rostov tells us.
According to the interlocutor in Donetsk, the wounded and dead are no longer admitted to hospitals and morgues. There’s simply nowhere.
“We stormed in vehicles, lost dozens of units, and there were few wounded left after the hits,” says the source.
Just preliminary, about 40 units of armored vehicles were lost yesterday.
“Even on the Internet there are shots of one armored personnel carrier pushing another, and in the end we lose both. Some kind of idiocy - the guys were just shot at a shooting gallery. And they are preparing a new assault.
“The commanders have difficulty keeping the situation under control, because everyone understands that the chances of survival are slim. FPV drones simply mowed down the equipment and that’s it. It arrives quickly, penetrates armor, it’s some kind of nightmare,” says a direct participant in the battles for Avdiivka.

Kremlin snuffbox, Section 1B:
There was a lot of panic. What is happening on the left bank of the Dnieper in the Kherson region?
We found out from sources in the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense what was happening on the left bank of the Dnieper and whether the enemy had advanced there.
We tell you what we can, so as not to harm our military; the interlocutors asked not to go into unnecessary details for now.
First, the most alarming thing: the Ukrainian army is creating a bridgehead on the left bank of the Dnieper and is seriously advancing. We have every opportunity to stop this advance, but we lack artillery. The possibility of transferring artillery and personnel here from other sectors of the front is now being discussed.
Secondly, the enemy’s goal is most likely to capture several settlements and advance towards Crimea.
“I think they don’t even want to go to Crimea now. The main goal is to move artillery and MLRS closer to the peninsula in order to intensify shelling of Crimea,” says one of our sources. The General Staff is now thinking about how to disrupt this plan.
Thirdly, unfortunately, during the Ukrainian offensive there was a lot of panic among our military. The result was chaos and incidents of friendly fire.
Over the past few days, at least 40 people have been killed and at least 65 injured.
[“Even on the Internet there are shots of one armored personnel carrier pushing another, and in the end we lose both. Some kind of idiocy - the guys were just shot at a shooting gallery. And they are preparing a new assault.]
and they are preparing a new assault.
The gift that keeps on giving!
Under Putin’s orders ... a fulsome display of his military genius!
The numbers are staggering.
A clear indication that the Avdiivka offensive is a complete failure.
Also a clear indication that ruzzia no longer has an artillery advantage.
https://twitter.com/666_mancer/status/1715280954623725781
In the video, the drone is being flown with a warning: "Attitude mode. Fly with caution."
This would indicate the drone is flying without GPS assistance.
“This video of a failed Russian assault in #Avdiivka is probably going to be shown in war colleges in the West as a primer how to defeat the “modern” Russian army in the field. What is evident, is that Russia cannot deploy artillery to support its armor and they do not have the trained fighters needed to properly conduct a combined arms battle.
On the part of the AFU, their most valuable assets are the skill and bravery of their fighters and the competency of their commanders. In addition, NATO training, superior NATO artillery with further range than their Russian counterparts and a fanatical focus on counterbattery operations made this possible.”
