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.

Who could of believed 2 years ago that RuZZia couldn’t conquer Ukraine?
2 years later, Ukraine is destroying RuZZia’s Black Sea Fleet, Air Force and Army.
All while liberating half of the land RuZZia seized at the beginning of the war.
What a wild 2 years.
Avdiivka was a costly ‘win’ for RuZZia. With ‘wins’ like that, they will lose the war.
“#Avdiivka offensive equipment loss numbers as of 23 February 2024. In summary: 690 RU losses vs. 75 UA losses As Russia has now successfully captured the city of Avdiivka, future updates will be to tally newly discovered losses. Losses proven to have occured after the city was captured will also be culled in the future. Spreadsheet showing the losses in detail:”

The Memories
“On 24 February 2022, a Russian Black Sea flagship “Moskva” approached Zmeiniy Island and offered the garrison to lay down weapons and surrender. A Ukrainian border guard Roman Valentinovich Hrybov responded in a rude form, telling the warship to go **** itself. Cruiser “Moskva” was later sunk on 14 April, and the island returned to full Ukrainian control by 30 June. Although captured in the attack, on his release, Hrybov was awarded a medal for his actions at the end of March”

Zombie thread arises!
“Two years of war for Russia has plunged the country ever deeper into darkness”
“Two years ago, when Russia launched its full-scale invasion of Ukraine, I was among the many long-time observers of the Kremlin who got it wrong.
Few could fathom why Vladimir Putin, Russia’s calculating leader, would embark on such a risky military adventure, especially when the mere threat of a Russian invasion was already yielding results.
In June the previous year, as Russian forces massed near Ukraine, US President Joe Biden met Putin at a superpower-style summit, describing the US and Russia as “two great powers” elevating the Russian leader after previous US administrations had sought to downplay Russia’s influence.
In the days before the 2022 invasion, Washington offered a “pragmatic evaluation” of Moscow’s security concerns, signalling openness to compromise.”

You are delusional. Did you add the 2 Abrams taken out yesterday? The Ukes are winning?! Ridiculous. What the heck, go for it. You can’t look any more absurd than you already do. The Ukes are winning.

“Russia’s Brutal War Calculus”
“Two years of war have remade Russia.
Isolated from the West, it is now more dependent on China. Political repression is reminiscent of the grim days of the Soviet Union.
But Russia is not the economic shambles many in the West predicted when they imposed punishing sanctions over the invasion of Ukraine. Many Russians are pulling down their highest incomes in years.
Russian society has been refashioned in ways that have devastated some and lifted others. While government critics languish in jail and young men die in trenches at the front, other Russians — especially those willing to spout the official line — are feeling more optimistic than ever.
Here is a look at how Russia at war has changed — suffering enormous costs by some metrics but faring better than expected by others.”

“Abducted Ukrainian shares story of survival in Austin”
“At just 16 years old, Ivan Matkosvsyi has endured two years of war.
He fled on foot from his war-torn hometown of Mariupol — one of the cities most ravaged by the Russian invasion — after a month often spent in a bomb shelter. But on that long walk to safety, he was taken by Russian troops.
“I came across the Russian checkpoint, and they forced me to take almost all my clothes off,” Ivan recounted in Ukrainian. “I didn’t want to separate from my older brother. We decided to just escape. But they caught us and started threatening us with weapons. Thankfully, my brother was released and he was able to go to Ukraine, but I was sent to Donetsk.””

1/3 Gone. Gone With the Wind.
“Ukraine Has No Navy. But It’s Hammering Russia In The Black Sea.”
“The grainy black-and-white video showed what appeared to be a fast-moving speedboat bobbing on the nighttime waves, swerving back and forth as it approaches a much larger warship. The ship then explodes spectacularly, and the nearly 3-minute video ends with a vessel seen rolling onto its port side just before it sinks.
The speedboat was in fact a Ukrainian-designed unmanned maritime drone packed with explosives, known as the MAGURA-V. The warship purportedly was the Tsezar Kunikov, one of just a handful of heavy landing ships in Russia’s Black Sea Fleet. It sank off the southern coast of Crimea, the Ukrainian peninsula Russia seized 10 years ago. The fate of the ship’s crew, estimated at around 70, is unclear.
One day after, the admiral in charge of the Black Sea Fleet was reportedly stripped of his command.
The Tsezar Kunikov is one of nearly two dozen Russian warships that Ukraine has seriously damaged or outright sunk since Russia began its full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022.
Prior to its sinking, Oryx, a Dutch open-source website known for verified tallies of Russian and Ukrainian equipment losses, put the figure at 21 warships and one submarine. Ukraine’s general staff has a slightly higher count: 24 Russian ships and one submarine.
That works out to approximately a third of the entire fleet, which numbers around 74. Those figures do not include smaller craft such as shallow-draft coastal patrol boats or auxiliary vessels.”
