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.

Summarizing this war:
A tragedy for Ukraine.
A disaster for RuZZia.
A strategic win for the USA.

“Here is the best-kept secret about U.S. military aid to Ukraine: Most of the money is being spent here in the United States. That’s right: Funds that lawmakers approve to arm Ukraine are not going directly to Ukraine but being used stateside to build new weapons or to replace weapons sent to replace weapons sent to Kyiv from U.S. stockpiles. Of the $68 billion in military and related assistance Congress has approved since Russia invaded Ukraine, almost 90 percent is going to Americans, one analysis found.”

“It is reported that a military airfield where Su-24, Su-24M, and Su-34 bombers are based, was attacked in Mozorovsk, Russia.”
“Photos of the consequences of the attack on the airfield Morozovsk. A Russian Su-34 was reportedly damaged by shrapnel. Debris from drones were also found.”

“Eekad’s team used recent Maxar satellite imagery to successfully identify the type of the Russian cargo plane and the damage it sustained after burning at Libya’s Al-Jufra base.”
“Eekad obtained high-resolution satellite imagery from Maxar captured on December 15, confirming that the recently damaged aircraft at the Libyan Al-Jufra base is a Russian Ilyushin Il-76 cargo plane.”
“Upon closer inspection of the images, it becomes clear that the scale of the devastation is large and points to a premeditated attack.”
“A Libyan source, in communication with the Nova Agency, revealed that the plane was carrying electronic jamming equipment intended for the “new Russian military corps being established in Africa,” with planned destinations in both Libya and Sudan.”

“More detailed footage of a recent Russian armored attack in Synkivka, Kharkiv region. Half of this column was previously destroyed.”

“Today, Russians attempted another attack on Avdiivka front. Deepstate about today’sattack: “Today, Russians again marched in a column in the area of the Avdiivka Terekon. About 15 AFVs with infantry drove through Krasnohorivka to the south to Terekon, dropped the infantry and drove back. Thanks to the combined efforts of all the brigades on the site more than half of the equipment was destroyed. The infantry is now concentrated in the windbreaks, its destruction continues. Expect a video of Russian equipment destruction from the Ukrainian brigades in the coming days. Tactics generally do not change. Regular column attacks in the hope of a quick operation. Again, we are talking about the important role of observing the frontline from drones and other UAVs, which reduce to zero the possibility of any blitzkrieg on an operational-tactical level.””

“US Frackers Return to Haunt OPEC’s Pricing Strategy”
“US crude juggernaut adds equivalent of new Venezuela to supply”
“OPEC, allies have restricted supply in response to price drop”
“OPEC’s one-time nemesis — US shale — is rearing its head just months after the sector was all but written off as a threat to the cartel’s sway over worldwide oil markets.
Drillers from the Permian Basin in West Texas to the Bakken Shale of North Dakota have ramped up oil production well beyond what analysts foresaw, pushing output to a record just as OPEC and its allies put the brakes on supplies in a bid to arrest price declines.
This time last year, US government forecasters predicted domestic production would average 12.5 million barrels a day during the current quarter. In recent days, that estimate was bumped to 13.3 million; the difference is equivalent to adding a new Venezuela to global supplies.”
Those Zs painted on the sides of Russian tanks sure make great aim points!
“Part of what makes the US crude surge surprising is that companies managed to increase production even as the number of drilling rigs at work fell roughly 20% this year. That productivity gain has confounded many analysts and researchers who have long relied on the so-called rig count as a predictor of future crude output.”
Yes they Do!
US Oil Production hits all time high
13.2 million bpd in Sep.

RuZZia’s oil production: around 9.9m bpd
SA’s oil production: around 9.9m bpd
In the beginning of this video you can already see four newly destroyed Russian vehicles. For the next two BMPs it looks not better. You can see a projectile (probably Javelin) reaching altitude and then slamming into the leading vehicle from above, blowing off mounted infantry.
The fact that the other Russian BMP got destroyed almost simultaneously gives this choreography a nice touch.

Most likely Javelin shots.

The biggest winner will be the republic of Siberia.
Biggest loser...Putin.
The only question I have is...How many months after the breakup will it take before Koenigsberg applies for membership in NATO and the EU.
pdate on the conflict in Ukraine for December 17, 2023…
- Russian forces continue mounting pressure along the line of contact, executing a war of attrition grinding down Ukraine’s manpower and its Western sponsors’ military resources;
- Ukrainian lawmaker admits Ukraine is running out of ammunition and unable to respond to Russian firepower;
- The Western media now admits Ukraine’s cross-river “offensive” in Kherson is an abject failure;
- US military officials now admit that even with continued US support, Ukraine could still lose;
- A search for a “new” strategy for Ukraine requires ignoring the fundamental (and unsolvable) problems Ukraine and its Western backers have;
- The Western media is rebuilding its narrative regarding Ukraine, suggesting victory is not possible, but improving Ukraine's position ahead of negotiations may be;
- West is still pinning hope on "wonder weapons" including the F-16;
Russians just shot down another one of their own Su-25s today.
Kazan is the name of a city in RuZZia.
Is that where you live?
