have finished work on the 23rd GRAU Arsenal and am ready to draw the following conclusions: Destroyed (red) - 67 warehouses, or 64.4%; Damaged (yellow) - 12 warehouses, or 11.5%; Not damaged (blue) - 25 warehouses, or 24%.

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 Ukrainians chose ammunition depots”

“Complete nonsense!” How the Kremlin and the Ministry of Defense responded to a pseudo-study on the readiness of Russians to withdraw troops from Ukraine
The other day, the sociological project “Chronicles” and the research group Extreme Scan published a study according to which almost half of Russians are allegedly ready to agree to the withdrawal of Russian troops from Ukraine without achieving the goals of the Northern Military District. Let’s say right away that the results of the survey should be questioned, and the reaction to it was mostly in the liberal community and the opposition.
But! We wondered what the AP and the Ministry of Defense thought about the mood inside Russia. We spoke to our sources and here’s what they told us.
An interlocutor in the Kremlin’s political bloc noted that the AP has its finger on the pulse and the results voiced by pseudo-researchers are “complete nonsense.”
“Do you really think there are idiots sitting here (in the AP - Ed.)? Every week we receive research results on certain issues. By the way, they are in no hurry to carry out mobilization [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/4674 ] for a reason,” the source said. According to him, “the majority of Russians, fortunately, did not feel the war.”
A source in the Ministry of Defense emphasized that until the goals of the Northern Military District are achieved, there is nothing to talk about peace negotiations. The interlocutor did not answer what specific goals of the SVO we are talking about.
“I’m not a politician, let others talk about the negotiations. As long as we have soldiers and equipment, we are capable of fighting. But questions are already arising regarding both people and equipment. The defense industry is objectively not keeping up. Sometimes we have to send such, excuse me, rubbish to the front. It’s a shame to look the fighters in the eye. But it’s better than having no armor at all [ https://t.me/kremlin_secrets/4362 ],” the source said.
RuZZian equipment losses pass 18,000
“Russia - 18015, of which: destroyed: 13228, damaged: 806, abandoned: 1010, captured: 2971”
Tanks (3396, of which destroyed: 2340, damaged: 157, abandoned: 367, captured: 532)
GONE WITH THE WIND
“Satellite images obtained by Radio Svoboda reveal significant destruction of the 23rd GRAU arsenal near Oktabrsky, Tver Oblast, following yesterday’s attack. A substantial portion of the arsenal was destroyed.”

“The Ukrainian drone attack on ammunition depots in Toropets, Tver Oblast, near the Estonian border, resulted in the detonation of 30,000 tonnes of explosives, which means 750,000 shells. According to EDF Col. Kiviselg, the ammunition had been transported to the depot shortly before the attack. The loss represents two to three months’ worth of Russian ammunition supply.”

“Ukraine has purchased over a million drones this year, with domestic production capabilities estimated in the millions, according to Defense Minister Rustem Umerov. He also mentioned ongoing negotiations with allies to acquire Gripen and Eurofighter jets, while commitments have already been made for F-16 and Mirage-2000 aircraft.”

28 ‘naval ships and submarines’ just cracks me up.
Yep, Peak China.
“China’s Power in Asia Plateauing Below US, Lowy Institute Says”
“Slowing economic growth is curtailing China’s broader clout
India’s power is growing, but economic ties are a weak point”
“China’s power in Asia is plateauing at a level below the US as its economic capability is curtailed, according to the Lowy Institute’s annual analysis of influence in the region.
“Power in Asia remains a bipolar game, with the world’s two superpowers topping our ranking by a considerable margin,” the Sydney-based think tank said in a report Sunday.
“China’s power is neither surging nor collapsing, but plateauing,” the institute said. “Flatlining economic capability, driven by slower economic growth and longer-term structural challenges, means that China’s economic clout, while still commanding, is no longer growing.””

77 out of 80 did not reach their target.
I wonder how many were shot down by F-16s.

Joe Blogs on YouTube today (Russian Ruble collapse):
China, India and most everyone else refuses to trade in rubles, so Russian trade is now overwhelmingly done in Chinese Yuan.
Since June (secondary sanctions), the ruble has dropped from 11.4 to 13.1 against the Yuan, and Yuan are getting hard to get in Russia (liquidity problem), driving up currency costs.
Demand for Yuan loans (currency swap loans) in Russia has roughly tripled in August and September, over the average volume during the first half of this year. Loans denominated in Yuan are now costing Russian businesses over 35% (interest rate plus currency swap rate). Another inflation driver in Russia, and drag on Russian corporate profits (driving some higher bankruptcy rate).
Russians haven’t missed an apartment house yet.
Zombie trolls respond.
Your comments are a snooze.
Thanks!
Forbes reports:
“The recent attacks also signal an increase in the scale of Ukrainian deep strikes. Previous raids, some hitting targets as far as 1,100 miles inside Russia, have been logistically impressive but small in size—often involving just a handful of slow, propeller-driven drones.
By contrast, the recent raids have been much more destructive, seemingly pointing to a drone type that might not fly as far, but packs more destructive power—and is available in large numbers.
That might mean Ukraine’s new jet-powered Palianytsia, which is a cruise missile in all but name. Russians on the ground in Toropets reported hearing jet engines overhead before the local munitions stockpile exploded.
The winged, turbojet-propelled Palianytsia has been in development for more than a year but only recently made its combat debut. On Aug. 24, at least one Palianytsia struck a target in Russian-occupied Crimea, Ukrainian Pres. Volodymyr Zelensky announced.
The Palianytsia boasts a AI-PBS-350 turbojet engine, jointly developed by PBS in the Czech Republic and Ukrainian firm Ivchenko-Progress. The 220-pound AI-PBS-350 produces 3,400 newtons of thrust—enough to propel a one-ton missile several hundred miles.
That makes the Palianytsia roughly similar to Ukraine’s turbofan-powered Neptune cruise missile, at least in terms of size, speed and range.
Where the Neptune and the Palianytsia substantially differ is in their engines. The Neptune boasts an efficient but expensive turbofan. The Palianytsia’s simpler turbojet is probably less efficient, but also cheaper—meaning Ukraine could afford to build more Palianytsias than Neptunes. Potentially a lot more.
Firing more missiles results in more destruction. Where Neptune attacks have usually involved just a handful of missiles, the first Toropets may have involved a hundred missiles.”
