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.

“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.”

PEAK CHINA
“China’s exports to US endure steepest plunge in nearly 30 years”
“According to Chinese customs data, total shipments to the US last year fell by 13.1 per cent compared to a year earlier, to US$500.3 billion”
“US data also indicates that China is about to lose its position as the top exporting nation to the US for the first time in 17 years”
“China’s exports to the United States suffered their deepest decline in 2023 in almost three decades, as Washington’s efforts at reshoring and “friendshoring” supply chains create diversions.
Total shipments from China to the US last year fell by 13.1 per cent compared to a year earlier, to US$500.3 billion, according to China customs data released on Friday.
It is the biggest slump since the agency’s records began in 1995 – more than the declines experienced either during the global financial crisis of 2008-09 or the start of the US-China trade war in 2018-19.”
OT SpaceX News
Flight 2 starship exploded when the dumped the fuel in the nose - it caught on fire. The irony is if there had been a payload aboard, there would have been no fuel in the nose to explode, and the ship would have reached orbit.
So the design is good to go.
Next launch will be in February after FAA permit received; either this year or next there will be a test of in-orbit fuel transfer.
Meanwhile Artemis 2 has been put off until Sept 2025, and Artemis 3 with crew is put off until 2026. NASA is not worried about the Chinese getting there before that.

Another terrible tragedy at the front
Alas, our guys continue to die at the front every day. It is doubly difficult to realize that some tragedies could have been avoided.
In the Novoprokopovka area in the Zaporozhye region, a Russian combat drone with explosives drove into our positions and exploded in a dugout. Three soldiers were killed and two more were seriously injured.
Military sources provided details of the incident. It turned out that our military attempted to use a new ground-based drone on the front line. He was stuffed with explosives and sent towards the enemy.
However, due to heavy fire, the launch was not carried out from the forward positions of the Russian Armed Forces, but slightly behind.
“The detonation occurred earlier than expected,” our source said. According to reliable sources, the drone did not reach the positions of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, but fell into the trench of our military, which led to the explosion.
As a result of a fatal mistake, three military families will receive tragic news from the fronts. Two more soldiers were rescued, one of them was wounded in the hand, the other lost a leg, but survived.
To avoid such incidents, the command should take a more careful approach to the training of personnel.
