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.”
“Both Sides Pay a Bloody Price for Coveted Ukrainian City”
“The fight for the battered city of Avdiivka has emerged this fall as the fiercest battle of the war. Waves of Russian assaults have not broken through so far.”
“The tall chimneys of the Avdiivka Coke Plant stand out against the skyline. Beside it a sprawling slag heap juts into the sky, offering a high point overlooking the city of Avdiivka and surrounding villages.
The two landmarks have been the focus of furious fighting since Oct. 10 as thousands of Russian troops began a major new offensive in eastern Ukraine to seize Avdiivka, a long-coveted prize that would extend Russia’s control of the coal mining region of the Donbas.
Yet within days this battle for Avdiivka was shaping up to be perhaps the costliest of the war for Russia. Ukrainian artillery destroyed Russian armored columns on the approaches to the city, and drones armed with explosives struck down infantry as they dismounted from vehicles and advanced on foot, according to Ukrainian soldiers and commanders, Russian military bloggers and independent military analysts.”
“Important is the Kherson frontline where Ukrainians continue crossing the Dnieper.
@Tendar gives solid updates on the situation. It’s an area of concern for several Russian military reporters. Russian Romanov is quite outspoken on this, reporting daily. He says FPV drone attacks on vehicles are concerning. Ukrainian artillery prevents Russians from assaulting Ukrainian footholds. He also says FPVs are used as “mines” - they’re landed in a concealed area waiting for the personnel to arrive.”

“There is enough evidence that Ukrainian forces successfully crossed the Dnipro river at multiple points. Among them is the settlement of Krynky. This is in line with claims from Russian sources as well as the fact that the Russian commander of this sector, Colonel General Makarevich, has been removed from command, as mentioned in my previous post.”

“’ Russian “reporter” Filatov, who is present in the Avdiivka frontline, explains what went wrong: newly arrived reserves were meant to demine paths for vehicle columns, then to be followed by other forces, including the 114th Brigade. The goal was to overwhelm Ukrainian positions and artillery. However, for unclear reasons, it was the 114th that went first and ended up under extreme Ukrainian shelling, causing major losses. The following columns faced the same fate as no demining took place. Filatov complains also about disingenuous reports that were being sent to the higher-ups regarding Avdiivka.”

“Russian serviceman Vozhak Z, who is involved in the Avdiivka battle, describes the meat assault strategy and why it was adopted. Primarily due to the lack of any artillery preparation on the Russian side.”

RuZZian Boys on FR can proclaim a success. Ukrainian mines blown up.
“Russian equipment blowing up on mines in the vicinity of Avdiivka.”

“Ukrainian StratCom confirmed that a Russian S-400 air defense complex was destroyed in occupied Luhansk on October 25 while also hitting a part of an air defense complex last night in Crimea.”

“Tactical group ADAM destroying Russian equipment. At first a Ukrainian FPV drone seems to fail to detonate into the Russian MT-LB. Finally it does, after which a second FPV finished the job.”

“Overnight, Ukraine reportedly attacked the Russian anti-air regiment near Olenivka in occupied Crimea. A total of 17 Russian servicemen were wounded and 5 vehicles were damaged as a result of the attack.”

Destruction of air defense is a no brainer. Without them Russia will be hurting. Curious why there have been, as far as I am aware, any significant attacks on strategic bridges like kirch or other bridges in particular rail bridges.
Is kirch still out of range?

Repost, FYSA: The implosion of the Russian economy proceeds apace.
Last Friday (27 October 2023), Russia was expected to raise interest rates another full percentage point.
But instead they raised two. Now the rate is 15%, up from 7.5% on July 21st.
Rates doubled in three months, from a base that was already high among the G20. Now only two other members have higher interest rates (Argentina and Turkey), and those countries are recognized as in economic crisis.
The Bank of Russia said the hike was because of inflation exceeding their expectations (6%, vs. a target of 4%), but their reported inflation rates are not really much higher than most countries (between that of the UK and Australia).
So either they are lying about their inflation rate (likely), or they are really raising rates in an effort to support the value of the ruble (likely), or likely both.
Russia’s radical capital controls, imposed on 11 October, have succeeded in temporarily preventing the ruble from nosediving (now around 94 to the dollar), but they obviously see a pressing need for further radical actions.
Russia’s economic policies now clearly put it in the company of the world’s economic basket cases. Doubling over about the last three months is the fastest rate of interest rate increases of any nation in the world.
Putin continues to accelerate, as he drives Russia over a cliff.
Brace for impact, anytime after Putin’s “re-election” in March.

It comments to itself and has forgotten everything it said about Bakhmut, now relabeled Artemovsk.....::

That’s what “liberators “ do, perhaps they can rename adiivka, Russian meat grinder. Has a nice ring
