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.

The tariffs are expected to reduce demand for oil, while both OPEC and non-OPEC supply is increasing.
Why is that?

> Thousands of Ukrainians are barricading themselves in Sudzha, Kursk as our troops press on.
> New offensives by the RuAF have also begun into the Sumy region, Ukraine. Heavy fighting continues
Zelensky has lost his last bargaining chip, this conflict ends on Russia's terms.
He should have agreed to Trump's peace plan, now he has nothing to show for in the possible negotiations.

As to the chamberlain reference, I can see speedy’s point.
"Not very American"?
The US has launched 469 military interventions worldwide as of 2022, according to government data.
Trump threatening to invade and colonize other countries is as "American" as apple pie.
The entire history of the USA is a history of colonialism and war. https://t.co/h43ILk3EwQ pic.twitter.com/BccJgpqdnR— Ben Norton (@BenjaminNorton) January 10, 2025

Wilfrid Brimley was an American actor and singer, born on September 27, 1934, in Salt Lake City, Utah. He’s best known for his roles in films like The Thing (1982), Cocoon (1985), and The Natural (1984), often playing gruff, no-nonsense characters with a distinctive mustache and a folksy charm. Before acting, he worked as a ranch hand, wrangler, and even a bodyguard for Howard Hughes. He started in Hollywood as an extra and stuntman in Westerns during the 1960s, eventually transitioning to bigger roles.
He also became a recognizable face in the 1980s and '90s through Quaker Oats commercials and later for Liberty Medical, where his pronunciation of "diabetes" as "diabeetus" turned him into a meme legend. Brimley passed away on August 1, 2020, at 85, leaving behind a legacy of memorable performances and an unexpectedly huge internet following.

Putin hasn’t learned a thing about mechanized warfare in three years
Interesting point , but I think it goes back even further than 3 years.
His invasions of Chechnya and Georgia were just as badly executed. He sent in masses of mechanized forces and that got thrashed. Wasn’t till he executed scorched earth policies that he “succeeded”, and that was before the explosion of drone technology and use.
The initial invasion of Ukraine in 2022 was just as badly executed with massive losses of equipment and manpower. The difference now, three years later, is that he doesn’t have the reserves of equipment to even try any kind of mechanized assault of the kind needed to achieve any kind of breakout.
2 or 3 turtle tanks, some golf carts, atvs, and motorcycles will not accomplish much except add to unsustainable loses.
One of the main reasons, not often discussed, is the same issue the Ukrainian forces have, and that is lack of effective forward area CAS.
Though lobbing FAB bombs has helped them, even that ability has been greatly reduced, causing their ground forces to have to try and advance without much air support to degrade defending forces, resulting in limited success at great cost.
Russia no longer has the deep reserves of equipment, operable tanks, AFVs, and APCs with proper ground(artillery) and air support to mount any kind of successful mechanized assault.
Add to that their rear areas are being effectively attacked. Air defense, fuel and ammo depots, troop and equipment concentrations, air fields, as well as petro installations and MIC infrastructure and their capacity and capability are even more eroded.
It is fascinating to see the attempt to make a distinction between Russia and the Soviet Union. They were always one and the same. Moscow ruled “the Soviet Union” and the eastern block nations were nothing but subjects to Russia.
Moscow has always called the shots.
I also appreciate the “history” lessons which incorporate “recentism” in heavy doses. Recentism- a condition where one only goes far enough back in history to justify their position.
While we are talking about invasions of France , England or Russia let’s bring in the moguls, Romans, Muslims, Persians, Egyptians, Gauls , and Vikings….., all very interesting historical periods, but not really relevant to today.
Your question is just as irrelevant as asking, when did France invade England?
Russia and/or the Soviet Union waged wars against France, England and their allies many times over many centuries, in every case outside the boundaries of Russia itself.
1799 Battle of Novi, Russian army
defeated France in French northern Italy:
For lists of those wars & countries see:
“Welcome to the #nevertrumprsistance”
You mean the President Trump who is supply weapons and intelligence to Ukraine, and threatening pitin with more sanctions.
The biggest threat to Russia right now is oil prices going down, reduced revenue from oil exports, I.E. 1991 Soviet collapse.
My question has an answer and the answer is -0-.
Ruzzia has never invaded France or England.
Yet NATO Neocons such as you shake in fear of Russia marching Westward.
It's almost as nonsensical as your fear of global warming.
It is fascinating to see the attempt to make a distinction between Russia and the Soviet Union. They were always one and the same.

Q: "Is Russia the same as the Soviet Union"?
No, the Soviet Union and Russia are not the same.
The Soviet Union, officially known as the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics (USSR), was a socialist state that existed from 1922 to 1991. It was a federation of multiple republics, including Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, and others—15 in total by the time it dissolved. Russia, or the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic, was the largest and most dominant republic within the USSR, but it was just one part of the broader union.
When the Soviet Union collapsed in 1991, Russia emerged as an independent country, officially named the Russian Federation. It inherited much of the USSR's territory, population, and international status (like its seat on the UN Security Council), but it’s a distinct entity with its own government, borders, and identity. The other former Soviet republics became separate nations too, like Ukraine and Georgia, though some have maintained close ties with Russia.
Think of it like this: the Soviet Union was a big, centralized club with Russia as the leading member, but the club broke up, and now Russia’s on its own, while the other members do their own thing. Historically intertwined, yes, but not the same.
