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. Small arms, ATGMs, MANPADS, loitering munitions, drones used as unmanned bait, civilian vehicles, trailers 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 the origin of a piece of equipment can't be established, it is 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.

Another Russian KA-52 shot down by the Armed Forces of Ukraine today.

Not possible. The are very very stronk. We have been assured that the KA-52 carries awesome electronics that can jam any missile aimed at it - they are invulnerable.
“Not possible. The are very very stronk. We have been assured that”...
...everything is going according to the plan.
That's what, 36 KA-52s lost? That's over 25% of Russia's premier attack helicopter lost.
I wonder how the latest versions of the Apache and SuperCobra/Viper would fare?

Probably not much better. During the cold war the estimated survival time for helicopters in full on combat with Russia was 15 seconds.

“There is very good news from the flanks of Bakhmut 🙂👏🏻
I hope that tomorrow the General Staff or Malyar will tell about it themselves...

▪️In the Bakhmut direction, offensive operations continue near Rozdololivka - Krasnopolevka and Brekhovka - Yahodne, there is success”

“For the first time in history, Israel is selling over 200 Merkava Mk2 and Mk3 tanks stored in warehouses to unnamed European countries
This is reported by Ynet, citing sources in the country’s Ministry of Defense...
...The agreement is at the final stage before signing, but the names of the countries are not named due to the delicacy of the process”
“That’s what, 36 KA-52s lost? That’s over 25% of Russia’s premier attack helicopter lost.”
Close Air Support (Attack helicopters, Su-24s and Su-25s) has taken the brunt of Russian aircraft losses.
I thought they were further along in losses than just 25%, but that is just anecdotal. Along with the losses, they are wearing out flight hours on engines, running down spares, and losing pilots.
It seems to me that the reported loss rate has increased this last week, as the lines have started moving on the ground. I saw reports that Russian Artillery is also experiencing a swifter attrition rate.
If Russia wants to keep fighting after this Summer’s counteroffensive, the next wave of new Ukrainian forces (around the end of this year), seems on track to be coming with a new Air contingent of several squadrons of Western fighter jets, and five more entire Patriot systems.
It seems that the longer this goes on, the more airspace dominance will shift to the Ukrainian side.
Dniper River crossing?

Counteroffensive Digest 15 June 2023

"The Armed Forces continue their counter offensive operations in the Berdyansk and Bakhmut directions.
This was stated by the spokesman of the General Staff Andriy Kovalev.
Currently, fighting continues in the Berdyansk direction in the area of the village of Makarivka and in the areas of the villages of Novodanilivka and Novopokrovka of Zaporizhzhya region.
"In the direction of Bakhmut, units of the Armed Forces of Ukraine conducted assault operations in the direction of Rozdolivka - Krasnopolivka and Berkhivka - Yagidne, and were successful," said Andriy Kovalev.
As of now, offensive and defensive operations are ongoing in various directions, the MoD deputy head Hanna Maliar reported this evening.
In the east, the enemy continues to concentrate a significant amount of forces and resources and pulls up reserves from other directions. In particular, an enemy unit of amphibious assault troops was moved from the south to the east.
In the Bakhmut direction, offensive actions continue in the directions of Rozdolivka - Krasnopolivka and Brekhivka - Yagidne, there is success.
Offensive actions continue in the Berdnyansk and Mariupol directions. There is progress in all directions of attack. About a kilometer on each.
In the Berdyansk direction, fighting continues in the areas of Makarivka.
In the Mariupol direction, fighting continues in the Novodanilivka and Novopokrovka districts.
Over the course of the day, the enemy increased the number of missile and air strikes and artillery and mortar attacks.
Our troops are dealing with strong enemy resistance and their superiority in numbers of men and weapons. The enemy is trying with all his might to prevent the advance of our troops. At the same time, the offensive continues in several directions, our defenders are gradually but surely moving forward and inflicting significant losses on the enemy.
During the day, the Ukrainian defenders did not lose a single position."
“It’s just about over.”
With the Ukraine joining the EU and NATO? Putin seems to be accomplishing it.
Just today:
@visegrad24 10h
BREAKING: The European Parliament has voted in favor of a resolution calling EU membership negotiations with Ukraine to start this year and for NATO to present a path for Ukraine to NATO membership at the Vilnius summit together with security guarantees until membership.
Here he is on March 1, 2022.
“MACGREGOR: Well, the first five days, we witnessed a very slow, methodical movement of Russian forces into eastern Ukraine. That is Ukraine — the third of Ukraine, which is on the eastern side of this river, called the Dnieper. They move slowly, cautiously. They try to reduce casualties among the civilian population, tried to give as many Ukrainian troops and forces as possible the opportunity to give up, to surrender.
That is over, and the phase in which we find ourselves now, Russian forces have now maneuver to encircle and surround the remaining Ukraine forces and destroy them, through a series of massive rocket artillery strikes, airstrikes with Russian armor then slowly, but surely closing the distance and annihilating what’s left.
So this is a — this is the beginning, frankly of the end of Ukrainian resistance.”
MacKosovo? LOL!

"The first five days Russian forces I think frankly were too gentle. They've now corrected that. So, I would say another ten days this should be completely over."

“The war is really over for the Ukrainians. They have been grounded to bits. There’s no question about that despite what we report on our mainstream media."
Douglas Macgregor - 17 Mar 2022
Etc, etc, etc. And then there was this classic hit:
"I think we're going to watch as Odesa falls and Ukraine becomes a landlocked country as a result. Ukrainians have been unable to put together any sort of counter-offensive so I don't don't see much evidence that the Ukrainians can stop this at the same time we should also point out that there have been some operations outside of Kharkiv just south of it and these look suspiciously like shaping operations. So i think first comes the operation in the south and then subsequently up in Kharkiv, and again as we've discussed before I don't see any evidence the Ukrainians can stop any of it so I think this will proceed and I'd be surprised if this is not completed by the end of August beginning of September."
Douglas Macgregor - 9 August 2022
A month later, Ukraine launched a counter-offensive in the north that drove Russia out of virtually the entire Kharkiv Oblast. By November Ukraine had completed the Kherson counter-offensive, recapturing the city and driving Russia to the left bank of the Dnipro River. These were Russia's 2 worst defeats since their failed Kyiv offensive.
Every couple weeks, it's over. Ukraine has been defeated at least 50 times now. I don't predict what the final outcome of the war will be, but whatever it is, I am confident Douglas Macgregor won't see it coming.
Putin may get his 3 million chicoms, but not like he hopes I imagine eastern Russia will become Xi’s why buy when you can take. Karma is a bitch vlad
Good one.
We’re a few weeks from day 500 of Putin’s 3 day “special military operation”.
