Attack On Europe: Documenting Russian Equipment Losses During The 2022 Russian Invasion Of Ukraine

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.

Joe Biden seems to be much more physically capable than we thought. At least, the Russians think so.

“According to the Russians, Biden is doing everything to freeze them, this is how it looks like :)”

Does Alabama look like this?

❗️RBC Ukraine claims it can confirm (from sources in the Ukrainian Defense Forces) that a Russian A-50 AWACS has been shot down, as well as the damage/downing of a IL-22M.

Marcus...please ping me with any additional info...good or bad.

In the second picture, the text on the red car - are they trying to curse Joe Biden? Or what are they trying to say about him? I don’t know what the word (probably an abbreviation) after Joe Biden’s surname means. Because I am sure that in Alabama people curse Joe Biden a lot too.

It would be really nice. Hopefully, they are right.

“While over 40 A-50s have been produced, there are only eight of this most advanced version of the aircraft, and any lost in action would be difficult if not impossible to replace. Russia has deployed the planes accordingly, keeping the aircraft well back from Ukrainian air defense systems. Fear of losses was exacerbated following a drone attack on one aircraft in February while it was parked at an aerodrome in Belarus.”

[FtrPilot]

"Reportedly, the A-50 was shot down immediately after it was on duty in the vicinity of Kyrylivka around 21:10-21:15 on January 14. The A-50 disappeared from the radar and stopped responding to tactical aviation requests, and later a pilot of a Su-30 Russian Air Force aircraft detected the fire and crash of an unidentified aircraft. The Il-22M11 was on duty in the area of Strilkove and was eventually shot down along the coast of the Sea of Azov at around 9 p.m. on January 14. After being hit, the plane planned to land in Anapa, requested evacuation, an ambulance and a fire truck."

Kyrylivka on Google Maps.

The information above would indicate confirmation through radio intercepts.

Why Russia now has to use its A-50U closer to the fight in Ukraine

FTA: WARSAW — UK MoD Defence Intelligence reported Nov. 17 that Russia’s Aerospace Forces (VKS) are increasingly risking their most advanced Airborne Early Warning (AEW) aircraft, the Beriev A-50U, to identify enemy airborne targets in Ukraine airspace.

Most likely, an attempt to identify StormShadow launches.

I wonder if the U.S. shipped some SkyCeptor (PAAC-4) missiles to Ukraine for testing under realistic conditions.

ETCM...any info on SkyCeptor missiles?

Kazan is the name of a city in RuZZia.

is that where you live RuZZian Boy?

My personal criteria for validity of visual evidence from Russia is the youtube channel must be older than 2 years old. That is pretty good protection from propaganda, besides which the topics tend to be non political since the vlogger is trying to make money.

Here are a few recent vids from older-than-2-year old vloggers.

Intrigued with food prices and the overall quality of the store. The dollar conversion is largely meaningless since the trading exchanges are in countries hostile to Russia. My more fair measurement is % of typical monthly rent. That is a much more meaningful measurement.

Regardless, I have not seen any of my preferred vloggers talking about disruptions in life from heat or fires. There IS one solid data source. From Yakutsk, one of the coldest cities on Earth. They have solved the problem of how to live there, but it’s a stiff challenge this winter. Here is the girl’s channel:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K0z7Avc9ZtY she has been vlogging for years — 1 million subscribers, 1.7M viewcount in just 3 weeks. She has no agenda, she found something people want to see. And it doesn’t look like a disaster area

Was Kazan friends with any of the crew?

“Ukraine confirms to have shot down two Russian planes over occupied Berdyansk on the Azov Sea:
- Russian A-50 AWACS IL-76 reconnaissance plane. ($300m)
- Russian IL-22, possibly the Special Mission variant PP radar jammer (pictured). Distress messages intercepted.”

[SpeedyInTexas]

Was Kazan married to mothers of any crew members?

“UPDATE: The IL-22 in question appears to have been the M variant rather than the PP variant. IL-22M is the type of Mission Control plane that Prigozhin’s Wagner PMC shot down during the ‘March on Moscow’ in Russia. Both the A-50 AWACS and the IL-22M are mission critical assets.”

Apparently, the A-50 AWACS has difficulty painting a Patriot missile.

And it gets even worse for Russia. Breaking reports that Ukraine just shot down Russian A-50 AWACS and IL-22 Transport over the Sea of Azov today.

[SpeedyInTexas]

Was Kazan’s childhood friends on the planes?

“At around 21:00, Ukrainian military units executed a successful strike against two Russian aircraft over the Azov Sea, specifically targeting an A-50 AWACS (Airborne Warning and Control System) plane and an IL-22 bomber.

🎯 The A-50 was successfully downed, while the IL-22 sustained significant damage. Despite being hit, the IL-22 managed to remain airborne, attempting to reach the nearest airfield. However, it disappeared from radar screens after beginning its descent, near the region of Kerch.”

50601.

Is that how many citizens from Kazan RuZZia have been drafted?

“It is reported that the 🇷🇺Russian long-range radar detection and control aircraft A-50 (board number RF-50601) and air command post Il-22M were shot down”
