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.

That is some amazing accuracy
Biden and the Democrats are OK with arming foreign countries
but grabbing guns from Americans is an obsession w/ them.
The same “Congress” that gleefully tramples 2A rights, is hell bent
on supplying weapons to foreign countries.

In addition to the U.S.-produced short-range air defense systems the Ukrainians have been using to great effect, the United States has also identified and is helping the Ukrainians acquire additional, longer-range systems on which Ukraine’s forces are already trained, as well as additional munitions for those systems.
The United States continues to expedite the authorization and facilitation of additional assistance to Ukraine from our Allies. At least 30 countries have provided security assistance to Ukraine since the Russian invasion began.
In 2022, the Department of State authorized third-party transfers of defensive equipment from more than 14 countries, a number that continues to grow as Allies and Partners increase support to Ukraine.

Immediate Release
Oct 26, 2023
Biden Administration Announces Additional Security Assistance for Ukraine
Today, Oct 26, 2023, the Department of Defense (DoD) announced additional security assistance to meet Ukraine’s critical security and defense needs.
This announcement is the Biden Administration’s forty-ninth tranche of equipment to be provided from DoD inventories for Ukraine since August 2021.
This Oct 26, 2023 package includes additional air defense capabilities, artillery ammunition, anti-tank weapons, and other equipment to help Ukraine counter Russia’s ongoing war of aggression and fight for its independence and freedom.
This package utilizes assistance previously authorized for Ukraine during prior fiscal years under Presidential Drawdown Authority (PDA) that remained after the PDA revaluation process concluded in June. This security assistance package is another visible signal of the United States’ continued commitment to supporting the Ukrainian people in the face of Russian aggression.
The United States remains committed to working with Allies and partners to provide Ukraine with capabilities to meet its immediate battlefield needs, and the Biden Administration calls on Congress to meet its commitment to the people of Ukraine by passing additional funding to ensure Ukraine continues to have what it needs to defend itself against Russia’s brutal war of choice.
Security assistance for Ukraine is a smart investment in our national security. It helps to prevent a larger conflict in the region and deter potential aggression elsewhere, while strengthening our defense industrial base and creating highly skilled jobs for the American people.
The capabilities in this package, valued at up to $150 million, include:
• Additional munitions for National Advanced Surface-to-Air Missile Systems (NASAMS);
• AIM-9M missiles for air defense;
• Stinger anti-aircraft missiles;
• Additional ammunition for High Mobility Artillery Rocket Systems (HIMARS);
• 155mm and 105mm artillery rounds;
• Tube-Launched, Optically-Tracked, Wire-Guided (TOW) missiles;
• Javelin anti-armor systems;
• More than 2 million rounds of small arms ammunition;
• Night vision devices;
• Demolitions munitions for obstacle clearing;
• Cold weather gear; and
• Spare parts, maintenance, and other ancillary equipment.

Biden’s $150 million military package announced Wednesday, Oct 2023, marks the 49th time that the U.S. has used the “presidential drawdown authority” to provide Ukraine’s military with equipment from US stockpiles.
The U.S. has provided about $44 billion in arms and security assistance to Ukraine since the beginning of Russia’s unprovoked invasion in February 2022.
The Pentagon still has about $5 billion of congressionally approved funding for Ukrainian military aid, after the Pentagon discovered in June that it had overestimated the value of weapons shipped to Ukraine by about $6 billion.
When calculating its military aid package estimates, the Defense Department was counting the cost incurred to replace the weapons given to Ukraine, while it should have been totaling the cost of the systems actually sent, officials told VOA at the time the error was found.
The Pentagon continues to dip into its aid arsenal..... despite Congress excluding new aid for Ukraine in a stopgap spending bill passed last month...... to prevent a government shutdown. Soon after the stopgap spending bill passed, the House ousted House Speaker Kevin McCarthy from his position as speaker.

Who spread the rumors about Putin’s death?
Many readers sent us a message from the General SVR channel that supposedly Vladimir Putin had died, and a coup d’etat had begun in Russia.
Our sources immediately refuted this information, but by far the most interesting point is who was the author of this stuffing.
Objectively, there are two versions.
The First is that the rumor was started by Patrushev’s opponents in the struggle for influence in the President’s entourage.
The version, frankly speaking, is naive.
Despite some specific conflicts among the elites, we are not talking about global splits and the construction of some centers of influence.
Vladimir Vladimirovich has the situation firmly in his hands. At least for now.
The Second version, which we are inclined to believe, is that the stuffing was carried out by the Ukrainian special services.
Firstly, if you look at the content of “General SVR”, then apart from conspiracy theories and advertising you will not find anything useful there.
“Putin’s doubles”, “Putin fell”, “Putin is sick”, and the logical ending “Putin died”.
We can say with 99% confidence that this channel is somehow connected with the enemy’s TsIPsO .
The news of Putin’s death, by the way, was immediately picked up by the Ukrainian media.
Of course, we don’t recommend you read this channel, but what’s definitely worth doing is subscribe to @kremlin_secrets if you still haven’t found the time.
PS: The involvement of the Ukrainian special services in this stuffing does not change the fact that Nikolai Patrushev infuriates some people from the President’s entourage.
In particular, with his constant attempts to promote his son to the position of Prime Minister.

My guess is this system would also protect against FPV drones.
Who “buried” Putin and why? Two versions
A high-ranking source in the Kremlin gave us two versions of who leaked the “information” about the death of Vladimir Putin and why.
The First version coincides with ours - the stuffing was done by the Ukrainian special services.
The Second version is more interesting.
According to it, Vladimir Vladimirovich was “buried” by influential people in the Kremlin.
“We have not one, but two groups of people who are concerned about the President’s health.
“I know nothing about his serious illnesses, but they claim that Vladimir Vladimirovich is so terribly and seriously ill that he could die almost in the coming months.
“So they are testing the people’s reaction to his death. They are seeing who will be happy and who will not be so happy. And who will do what,” our interlocutor said.
Among those who fear and at the same time expect the President’s imminent death, he named Patrushev and Kiriyenko.
It’s interesting that this coincides with our insider information - information about Putin’s serious illness was initially thrown in at the suggestion of Kiriyenko.
“I recently spoke with a close associate of Sergei Vladilenovich, so he convinced me that Vladimir Vladimirovich has some kind of particularly terrible cancer. And that the end will soon.
“I don’t have such information, but it seems that part of the circle has already begun to select a successor for the President. This is for me I don’t like it,” our source added.

There was no apology from Putin. Wagner PMC named the salaries of their “traitors” who trained Hamas fighters to fight Israel
Several associates of Yevgeny Prigozhin decided to reveal new information about the participation of “Wagner traitors” in the training of Hamas fighters.
The “musicians” threatened to do this if they did not receive an apology from Vladimir Putin for statements about the crash of Prigozhin’s plane ( we wrote about this conflict situation ). There was no apology.
“As far as I know, those who signed contracts with the Ministry of Defense and ended up training Hamas fighters were paid quite well. On average, 700-800 thousand rubles.
It was especially valuable that they assigned payments in rubles, but paid them in dollars, so you didn’t have to worry about the exchange rate. “The best specialists received more than a million ,” one of the high-ranking “musicians” told us.
The second said that Hamas most valued drone operators and instructors who taught how to conduct assault operations in urban areas.
He also claims that “former Wagnerites” (whom the “musicians” who remained loyal to Prigozhin and his people continue to call “traitors”) went to train the enemies of Israel with the help of our Ministry of Defense.
And he threatens to tell the details if “the authorities do not come to their senses and apologize for slandering Yevgeny Viktorovich and our other dead (by slander we mean these statements by Putin - ed.).”

“ Akhmat is not a force.” Prigozhin’s associates condemned the “traitors who went to Kadyrov “
Two prominent associates of Yevgeny Prigozhin commented on the transfer of some of the “musicians” to the Akhmat units.
“Those who went to Kadyrov are no longer Wagner’s PMCs. These are traitors who simply sold out. But they will pay for it.
As soon as they get to the front and compare what it’s like to fight in a normal unit and with TikTokers who don’t know how to do anything
“Akhmat is not a force, they will understand everything themselves. It will only be too late,” said one of our interlocutors.
Another claims that among those who will ‘fight for Kadyrov’ there are “traitors who previously trained Hamas fighters ( we wrote about this - ed.).”
“They will pay for everything in blood. The bulk, I think, will die at the front, and I would advise the rest to walk and look around. God will be their judge. I hope, a strict judge,” our source said.
He also claims that, “Kadyrov’s fighters will use ‘former Wagnerites’ as human shields and throw them in front of them in the most difficult areas.”
“The Akhmatovites themselves told me about this; I have reliable friends everywhere,” says Prigozhin’s comrade-in-arms.
The interlocutor added that the backbone of the Wagner PMC, despite all the betrayals, “remains in place and will have its say.”
The “musician” did not specify what he meant.
