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.

Same guys that are telling you that the Ukie army is kicking the Russians out of Pokrovsk...
Unless your press-ganged untrained meat bags are forced to constantly counter-attack into withering defensive fire from the secured Russian positions.
dimwit - you should deploy your meme to rescue the trapped Ukie meat schlubs in Pokrovsk.
A lot of projecting going on in RT land.
Apparently AD is not working very well in the land of the gargoyle czar, and “mechanical” issues is the new “falling debris “

Too Bad Vlad and his Kremlin, one lie is as good as another. Lying is a way of life for all Russians, to get wealthy or just to survive, or you family survive. As in where the heck can we buy potatoes and vodka?? Does X have his massive potatoes harvest stashed away, that he will sell us some? Or I will loan farmer X me snowmobile for a few weeks, I hope the drunken bastard does not crash it!
Russian forces continue to advance in the Pokrovsk direction and are reportedly extending logistics to southern Pokrovsk. Geolocated footage published on November 6 and 7 indicates that Russian forces recently advanced within northeastern and to the eastern outskirts of Pokrovsk as well as in southern Myrnohrad (east of Pokrovsk) and north of Myrnohrad.[1] Additional geolocated footage published on November 7 indicates that Russian forces also advanced south of Krasnyi Lyman (northeast of Pokrovsk and immediately north of Myrnohrad).[2] A Russian milblogger claimed that Russian forces reached the northwestern, northern, and northeastern outskirts of Pokrovsk.[3] Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces seized Rih (immediately east of Pokrovsk) and Rodynske (north of Pokrovsk), advanced southwest of Krasnyi Lyman and Rodynske, and advanced into eastern Rivne (east of Pokrovsk).[4] Some milbloggers claimed that fighting is ongoing in Rodynske, however.[5] Russian milbloggers claimed that Russian forces are attempting to drive trucks and motorcycles into southern Pokrovsk to deliver supplies and that these attempts mark the first time that Russian forces have begun operating vehicles in Pokrovsk.[6] Russian forces have been conducting logistics into Pokrovsk primarily with drones.[7] The Ukrainian 7th Rapid Reaction Corps of the Air Assault Forces confirmed on November 7 that Russian forces are attempting to extend logistics to southern Pokrovsk using motorcycles.[8] The corps reported that Russian forces have reduced their activity and the frequency of their movements within Pokrovsk in order to minimize losses as Russian forces await reinforcements. The corps noted that Russian forces have unsuccessfully attacked Myrnohrad from the east several times and assessed that Russian forces will likely attack the town from a different direction in the near future. A Russian milblogger claimed that Russian forces began attacking Myrnohrad from the west on November 7.[9] The spokesperson of a Ukrainian drone regiment operating in the Pokrovsk direction reported that Russian forces raised a flag at the Pokrovsk City Council building in central Pokrovsk but that Ukrainian forces counterattacked and recaptured and cleared the building.[10] The spokesperson noted that Russian forces established an observation post at the city council building before Ukrainian forces recaptured it.
Layoffs at Russia's primary tank manufacturer, Uralvagonzavod (UVZ), indicate that Russia may be struggling to balance civilian and defense industrial needs as economic restrictions increasingly degrade Russia's economic performance. Yekaterinburg local news outlet E1 reported on November 6, citing employee-provided documents, that UVZ plans to lay off up to 10 percent of employees by February 2026 and implement a hiring freeze.[11] UVZ employees told E1 that the reduction in staff amounts to up to 50 percent of total employees for most departments. UVZ’s press service stated on November 6 that the manufacturer is “streamlining management and administration expenses“ and denied reports of a hiring freeze.[12] UVZ announced on October 10 that it will shift some employees to a four-day work week starting on December 15, citing declining demand for civilian vehicle production.[13] UVZ is Russia's sole producer of modern tanks, therefore it is noteworthy that recent civilian shift reductions and planned factory layoffs may be impacting a key defense industrial base (DIB) enterprise and potentially reducing the production of Russian tanks.[14] The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) may have deprioritized tank production to shift to a more drone-centric and dismounted infantry-based force that employs light vehicles such as buggies and motorcycles for mobility rather than armored fighting vehicles (AFVs).[15] Drone innovations throughout the war and the creation of kill zones in which any tanks or other AFVs are prime targets have rendered armored vehicles less effective for Russia's tactics to advance, which rely on mass infantry assaults, infiltration missions, motorcycles and small vehicles, and drone strikes.[16]
Sanctions and restrictions on Russian oil exports may be hindering the Kremlin's attempts to make capital investments in the Russian DIB at the expense of civilian production. Russian President Vladimir Putin implicitly acknowledged the impact of sanctions on the Russian economy on October 23.[17] The Kremlin notably also plans to decrease its defense budget to 38 percent of total expenditures in 2026, down from 41 percent in 2025, as it plans to increase the value-added tax (VAT) likely to fund defense expenditures.[18] The Russian government may be attempting to shield the Russian DIB from the slowdown affecting civilian industry, and the reported UVZ layoffs indicate that Russia's widespread economic problems could affect defense production. The reported UVZ layoffs suggest that the Russian DIB may not be able to drive economic growth and that the Kremlin will need to further redirect resources to the DIB from civilian industry.[19] ISW continues to assess that the Kremlin is likely attempting to make investment capital available to the DIB amid a lack of demand for investment capital in civilian industries.[20]
The Ukrainian defense industrial base (DIB) continues efforts to develop local arms production and export capabilities. Ukrainian Presidential Advisor Oleksandr Kamyshin stated on November 7 that Ukraine will make its DIB self-financing through profits that managed arms exports generate.[21] Kamyshin stated that Ukraine's DIB has an annual production capacity of $35 billion dollars in 2025 and can reach $60 billion in 2026, over $35 billion of which will be for long-range capabilities.[22] Ukrainian Defense Minister Denys Shmyhal announced on November 7 that Ukraine and Sweden finalized an agreement to localize the production of Swedish Gripen fighter jets by 2033.[23]
European authorities continue to report unidentified drone incursions into NATO airspace. The Swedish Civil Aviation Administration (LFV) reported that there were reports of at least one unidentified drone flying over the Gothenburg Landvetter Airport on the evening of November 6, forcing authorities to divert or cancel over a dozen flights.[24] A Swedish police spokesperson told Reuters that authorities are investigating suspected aviation sabotage.[25] Belgian authorities temporarily closed the Brussels Airport on the evening of November 6 after Skeyes air traffic controller observed an unidentified drone, marking the airport's third closure in a week.[26] Belgian police confirmed on November 6 that unidentified drones flew near the Belgian Nuclear Research Center (SCK CEN) in Mol, Belgium as well as the European Quarter, which houses several European Union (EU) buildings.[27] The Flemish Public Broadcasting Company (VRT) reported on November 6, citing unspecified sources, that German troops arrived in Belgium to assist the Belgian military in implementing unspecified drone detection and defense measures.[28] The repeated unidentified drone incursions near European airports and critical infrastructure come against the backdrop of Russia's intensifying “Phase Zero” campaign to destabilize Europe, undermine NATO's cohesion, and set the political and psychological conditions for a potential future Russian war against NATO.

“Layoffs at Russia’s primary tank manufacturer, Uralvagonzavod”
Perhaps they are constrained by the supply of serviceable inputs, from the old Soviet storage running dry.
If it because of lack of money from the State, that would be a strong indicator of impending economic crisis.
Funding the Defense Industrial Base, was like Russia’s one thing.
“ What lavrov doink?😎”
Avoiding windows? Staying on the ground floor, or better yet, in the basement?
Switching from tea to stronker drink?
Seems like the situation is just getting impossible to finesse anymore, even for an experienced pro.
The Central Bank Chief may be the next one to crumble under Mission Impossible. Or maybe the Defense Minister. Some other heads will likely roll, before the ax falls to Putin.
“Continue to advance”. Thought all this was taken months ago😂
Some perspective, Russia is approaching the number of days that was the “great patriotic war” and in that time they have less Ukrainian territory then they had in 2022.
Meanwhile near daily attacks on Russia occur, Stalingrad er ah Volgograd, Moscow, St. Petersburg…..
Went from 2nd largest exporter of weapons to net importer of weapons and ammunition.
Went from exporter of refined crude to importer of refined crude. Gas station with nukes now just has nukes.
Exporter of food goods to imported of food goods.
National wealth fund(built on the backs of Russian peasants) gone
Massive interest rates, massive inflation
Russian petro industries went from major employers and suppliers of revenue to Kremlin to bankrupt or nearly bankrupt, and laying off employees
Budget surplus to issuing billions in govt bonds.
Well done pitin😎
