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.

Calling someone a RuZZian on FR is considered an insult.
Calling someone a Comrade on FR is considered an insult.
Summarizing this war:
A tragedy for Ukraine.
A disaster for RuZZia.
A strategic win for the USA. The biggest winner of the war.
“More than three decades after Reagan left office, most Republicans still believe that America is a force for good.”
“First Abrams Tanks Arrive in Ukraine, U.S. Officials Say”
“An initial batch of tanks arrived months ahead of estimates, and in time to be used in Ukraine’s counteroffensive against Russia, officials said.”

“Ukraine claims Russian Black Sea Fleet’s commander killed in Sevastopol attack “
“Ukraine has claimed that the commander of Russia’s Black Sea Feet, Admiral Viktor Sokolov, has been killed in the Ukrainian attack in Sevastopol on Friday.
“After the hit of the headquarters of the Russian Black Sea Fleet, 34 officers were killed, including the commander of the Russian Black Sea Fleet,” the Ukrainian Special Operations Forces said in an update Monday, adding that more than 100 other Russian servicemen were wounded.”

RuZZia can produce about 200 tanks per year.
“On the turret of one of the T-90M is number 192, on the BMPT number 6 (the number of the vehicle in the order), which may indicate the correctness of the estimate of production of new tanks in Russia about 200 vehicles per year.”

Poor Indicted War Criminal Girkin.
“Russian sources are saying that Girkin was beaten during a walk in the detention centre. Allegedly, he was attacked by a “Ukrainian right-wing radical”.”

Isn’t it funny that no matter how much you garbage propaganda that your stubby fingers peck out, reality and the tide of history keeps going the other way?
Germany announced that it is sending a batch of a new type of Naval attack drone.
There may be no Russian Black Sea Flotilla remnants left afloat, by the time the F-16s armed with Harpoon missiles come to finish them off.
A total of 11/12 Kalibr cruise missiles were shot down. Also all 19 Shahed drones were downed. Unfortunately 2 Onyx missiles were not shot down. Additionally three LANCET’s and four recon drones were shot down.

Update on the conflict in Ukraine for September 25, 2023
- ATACMS will not arrive in numbers large enough for strategic impact;
- Ukrainian intelligence chief admits to Ukraine's multiplying failures and obstacles including a lack of infantry and artillery to support them on the battlefield;
- US-made M1 Abrams main battle tanks must be held back from the front line or they will be destroyed alongside German Leopard 2 and British Challenger 2 tanks according to Ukrainian intel chief;
- Canada's parliament accidentally invited and honored a World War 2 veteran who fought for German Axis forces;
- The incident highlights Ukraine's past and present problems stemming from its relationship with Germany during World War 2;
“RuZZia can produce about 200 tanks per year.”
They are building two new tank factories, but they will take a while to get running.
Perun (on YouTube) did an analysis of how the type of Russian tank being hit on the battlefield has changed over time. It showed that new production of T-90s was a small but relatively consistent percentage of losses, while the bulk were refurbished tanks from storage, that showed a declining trend in their capability over time. Fewer with thermal sights, growing use of older models.
It seems that they have been using the best first, and will likely have greater availability problems and declining capability, as they scrape the bottom of the barrel.
Satellite pictures of storage yards show howitzers being removed at a roughly similar rate to tanks (over half gone), but most of those left have had their barrels removed. There is likely some degree of parts stripping off the tanks in storage as well, that is less visible from space.
Foreign supply is likely the only way they could maintain their replacement rate (assuming attrition rate stays constant) through this next year.
“ATACMS will not arrive in numbers large enough for strategic impact;”
Tell that to the guy getting impacted.
Jon Boy!
Kazan is the name of a city in RuZZia.
Is that where you live?
