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.”

“Drones Are Changing How Wars Are Fought”
“Uncrewed vehicles make combat faster, cheaper and smarter, as shown in Ukraine’s fight against Russia and Houthi attacks in the Red Sea”
“Drones are transforming warfare, from Red Square to the Red Sea.
Over the past decade, uncrewed aerial vehicles—and recently naval vessels—have put increasingly lethal and effective military equipment in the hands of insurgent groups such as Islamic State, Yemen’s Houthi rebels and underdogs like the Ukrainian military. Kyiv used drones to slow Russia’s invasion in 2022 and later sent longer-range UAVs to hit targets as far away as Moscow.
When Hamas struck Israel on Oct. 7, its attack began with strikes from hobbyist drones on Israeli surveillance posts. The Iran-backed Houthis are using drones to target Red Sea shipping lanes.
The question for the U.S. and its allies now is how to defend against cheap drones without using expensive missiles.”

Tragedy miraculously did not happen - a Caliber missile launched at Ukraine fell in the Krasnodar region
During today’s missile salvo in Ukraine, another emergency occurred. One of the Caliber missiles, launched from the Caspian Sea, fell in the Pavlovsky district of the Krasnodar Territory.
The causes of the emergency situation are being established. This time a miracle happened - the rocket fell into a field without hitting the nearest villages.
Alas, emergencies with rockets and bombs falling on peaceful cities are occurring more and more often. We warned about this danger. This week, an aerial bomb fell on the city of Rubezhnoye in the LPR .
At the same time, the fall of “Caliber” is symptomatic, because these missiles are considered modern and technologically advanced. Sources hint that in the pursuit of speed of missile production, quality suffers. Due to sanctions, there are problems with purchasing chips for missiles.
The Ministry of Defense aims to further increase the production of missiles, drones and ammunition. This in turn increases the likelihood of new missiles falling on peaceful cities in our country.
It would be good if, at least after such emergencies, Shoigu launched a process of large-scale inspection of missile production. Only a real process, and not the usual imitation. However, it is obvious that this is unlikely to happen without a kick from the President.
Vladimir Vladimirovich has not yet been informed about the rocket crash in the Krasnodar Territory.
But, if you think about it, such emergencies discredit Russian weapons and can lead to a decline in positions in the arms market.

In Mariupol and Berdyansk, 14 of our officers died in one day. The army is looking for “especially cynical traitors”
On Saturday, January 13, the Ukrainian army launched missile attacks on Mariupol and Berdyansk . According to our sources in the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense, in both cases, command posts where meetings were held with the participation of a “large number” of officers were hit.
According to the information at our disposal and which we have checked, 16 military personnel were killed in Mariupol as a result of the Saturday strike, 10 of them were officers. In Berdyansk, 11 military personnel were killed, four of them were officers.
“An important meeting was taking place in Mariupol, there were two representatives of the General Staff who specially arrived from Moscow, both of them died. In Berdyansk, the enemy struck during a planned officer meeting,” one of the sources said.
According to another, “it is obvious that the missiles were aimed at our military, and some of their own.”
“Here we are clearly talking about particularly cynical and fairly high-ranking traitors. Not a single local saboteur or supporter of Ukraine could know about such officer meetings.
“What kind of creature do you have to be to expose your colleagues, officers like you, to enemy attacks? Happy memory to those who died. And we will definitely find traitors, we are already actively looking for them,” a source at the Ministry of Defense said about this.
At the same time, according to another source, Ukrainian saboteurs could also be operating in Mariupol and Berdyansk, who somehow gained the trust of our officers and received secret information from them.
Zelensky to Join Klaus Schwab for Special Address to Davos Elites
Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelensky will share a special stage with World Economic Forum (WEF) executive chairman and founder Klaus Schwab on Tuesday to make a guest appearance at the annual gathering of the globalist elites.
Their discussion in the front of the invitation-only audience is titled “Achieving Security and Cooperation in a Fragmented World.”
For WEF - their theme this year is "rebuilding trust". I wonder how and why they lost it.

Up to 10 thousand “black janitors” from Africa are being trained to participate in the SVO
In recent days, there has been a lot of discussion about the arrival in Russia of 10 thousand workers from Kenya, who have already begun to appear in Moscow. As it turns out, this news has a direct bearing on the SVO.
According to our interlocutors from among Yevgeny Prigozhin’s close associates, former “Wagnerites” (who left the PMC and signed contracts with the Ministry of Defense) opened two special training camps - in Kenya and Mali.
There they recruit locals and prepare them to participate in the Northern Military District in order to “strengthen our army in several difficult sectors of the front.”
One group of such fighters (about 500 people, by the way, among them there are both men and women) has already arrived in Russia under the guise of workers.
For cover, they took staged photos in janitor uniforms and will soon be sent to the front - most likely to the Avdiivka area and the Zaporozhye region. Several more groups are on the way; in total, it is planned to train approximately 10 thousand African fighters.
Some Africans were well trained and offered contracts - they will be paid from 300 to 500 thousand rubles per month (they will be paid, of course, in dollars).
At the same time, not all new fighters are well prepared, but “there are enough of them to go on assaults,” our interlocutors say. In general, new fighters will be paid different amounts depending on their skills and abilities.
“To be honest, a lot of people laugh at these fighters. They have even been given a nickname - “black wipers”. Oh, if Evgeny Viktorovich could see this,” said one of the sources.
By the way, our interlocutors at the Ministry of Defense confirmed to us the training of African fighters for the Northern Military District. But they refused to provide any details.

The main versions are arson and faulty electrical wiring.
Most certainly arson (sabotage).
I am confident there is a warehouse in Alabama that is still burning.
“BIG GUYs”
“globalist elites”
For those that do not know:
It is widely reported in various posts that an American journalist held in Ukraine has died. Some post make this sound bad for Ukraine.
Back Story - he’s a creep - SPJNK
“Tucker Carlson has reported that Russian propagandist Gonzalo Lira has passed away from pneumonia while serving time in prison in Ukraine.
“Gonzalo Lira is an American citizen who has been living in Ukraine for years working as a dating coach where he marketed himself as an expert guru on how to train Western men how to successfully target and sleep with impoverished Eastern European women.
“When Russia invaded Ukraine, the sex tourism industry in Ukraine collapsed and Gonzalo decided to start promoting Russian propaganda online in order to make money.”

The bodies of three dead were found at the Wildberries warehouse. There may be more victims
At least three employees died as a result of a large fire at the Wildberries warehouse in Shushary. However, there may be more victims of the incident.
It is already known that Gosstroynadzor did not issue permission to put into operation the warehouse complex in Shushary. At the same time, approximately 1,200 employees were in the warehouse itself at the time of the fire. Unfortunately, at least three failed to escape.
“The fire happened very quickly. The scale did not immediately become clear. During the evacuation, the security began to check everyone in turn so that nothing was stolen.
However, after a minute and a half, we took out the security in a panic and everyone got out into the street. It was cold, terrible,” - one of the surviving Wildberries employees shared his memories.
He also said that, unfortunately, there were indeed those who managed to remove a certain amount of goods from the warehouse. However, we are more likely talking about isolated cases.
Most employees lost all personal belongings and documents that were handed in before the start of their shift.
At the same time, according to another source, Ukrainian saboteurs could also be operating in Mariupol and Berdyansk, who somehow gained the trust of our officers and received secret information from them.

Here's an article which proclaims "Bylina" as an "AI Drone-Killer"
Update on the conflict in Ukraine for January 15, 2024…
- US-Chilean citizen Gonzalo Lira is confirmed dead by the US State Department, having died in a Ukrainian prison with serious health issues neglected by his jailers. He was imprisoned for criticizing Kiev;
- Russia continues using a strategy of attrition across the line of contact, particularly in places like Avdeevka where Ukrainian positions are steadily degraded;
- Russian forces continue carrying out large-scale drone and missile strikes on targets across Ukraine;
- Ukraine admits a growing crisis in terms of air defense capabilities with its Western sponsors unable to supply an adequate number of interceptors for launchers transferred to Ukraine;
- Russia is continuing to expand production of existing drones and missiles while also developing new drones and missiles with greater capabilities, further stressing Ukraine’s already stretched combat capabilities;
- Previous dismissal of Russian-Iranian defense cooperation has now led to a demonstrable strategic crisis for Ukraine and the collective West;
- Ukrainian commanders are requesting what amounts to an entire army’s worth of equipment including an entire air force worth of replacement aircraft;
No, Ukraine operatives, not western intel people or western signals intelligence.
