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.

From a contact in Russia:
On mobilization in Russia
One of my friends got mobilized recently. He’s a mobile gamedev and a conscientious objector. So he tried to flee his city (Petrozavodsk) and drove to the nearest border (of Kazakhstan) but the seemingly endless traffic jam made him return in despair.
That’s how they caught him and transported to the nearest voenkomat. He couldn’t believe his eyes. There was a WW2 veteran standing in line as a volunteer. Soldiers were given out vatniks sheathed in camo print. Boots with so many holes that they looked like crocs and kits with personal hygiene items that included condoms. Yes, condoms. A Russian analogue of Durex - Gusarskiye so naturally they were also peppered w/ holes - a point of hearty laughter of everyone involved
They were to be transported in cargo section of soviet plane to Ukraine.
They were allowed to “relax” for a few hours before that - i.e get drunk/high out of their minds and listen to the instructions of the Politruk who riled them up by talking about beauty of the Ukrainian woman and prosperity of the average household.
The tattered drunks of all ages were all ears. “Listen up, scum. You’re about to fly first class to a western democracy. So do what you do best: destroy their livelihoods and make them pay for being better than us. We will defile their land because we can. First and foremost, we are Eurasianists. We’ve learned from the best: Mongols, fascists and communists. You don’t need any training - it’s in your blood. No need for fancy gear either. The strongest will survive and bring his enemies to heel” as my friend later recalled speech.
So obviously he was looking for a way to escape this. He stood up and said “I’m gay”. A crazed mob jumped him and beat him bloody. But he smiled the whole time, ignoring broken ribs and bruises. Nevertheless he persisted. He’s going to prison for life for his orientation instead.

Summary:
Ukrainian forces decisively breached Russian defensive line in Ridkodub-Karpivka-Hlushchenkove area and advancing towards Svatove .
Key areas:
- Oskil river area:
Ukrainian troops established another bridgehead across Oskil river near Dvorichna.
Ukrainian troops liberated villages Ridkodub and Hlushchenkove.
Based on unverified information they managed to liberate village Nove as well, but were repelled by arriving Russian unit.
There is no contiguous Russian frontline in this area anymore and Ukrainian side can pick and choose where to advance.
Russian command had to use aviation to delay advance of Ukrainian troops which led to heavy losses:
Ka-52, 2 x Su-34, Su-30, Su-25.
- North Donbass area: no changes.
- Central Donbass (Donetsk West): no changes.
- Zaporizhya: no changes.
- Kherson bridgehead: no changes.

••The Battalion Monaco:
This is a that video or actually two of them one is about its called Battalion Monaco about Ukraine beneficiaries of Ukraine’s economic system & how they spend time in Monaco actually and not technically they are not allowed to leave Ukraine most of them. Its just its nicely made video.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P2ZOBFFvXFw
Click the cog wheel thing in the lower menu bar and go to subtitles & set to translate to English. 35 minutes. The translation is horrible.
I don’t support the media outlet that that made it; in my opinion it has very agendas that are not helpful for Ukrainian future, however, it was very well made made video. I (War in Ukraine) highly recommend it; unfortunately, I don’t think there is an English version of it, but you can see everything from the pictures. (Edit: Ukrainian rich leading the high life - bereft of homeless encampments, their tents and trash.)
Drones:
Email from one of the viewers discussed the Iranian Iranian UAVs and more details about it. I just wanna I mentioned it was more advanced drone that allegedly was shot down, or maybe it lost control and was grounded by a Ukrainian side. Its called Mohajer-6, (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Qods_Mohajer-6) has a payload of 100 kg, it weighs 650kg, an altitude 5.5 kilometers, speed 200kh, distance 200km.
Its not anything advanced from a big picture perspective; its a very cheap disposable UAV. The danger of this thing is it carries a rocket. Its a poor copy of Israeli Spike rocket which is advanced rocket and pretty dangerous because it can attack tanks or any targets from the top similar to Javelin.
This is a more simplified version, a much worse version of Bayraktar TB2, but at the same time, its also much cheaper. Russia continues supplying those and Shahid 136 which is Grind 2; those are probably two major ones, haven’t seen Grind 3, probably they are the only two Russia decided to buy from Iran.
One more thing about these drones or UAVs, probably better better side is. Apparently from Russian sources, they were all reverse engineered by Iran based on a shoot down or wherever they could find those UAVs. I’m not expert on the on that part of the world, but they copied whatever they can find from the US UAVs they shot down, and the same for Israel.
There is a lack of many kinds of equipment, specifically electronics, but poor copies, at the same time they were cheap. They probably can, in right hands, can do enough damage.
The Referendum:
The goal is obviously to get 80-90% support in couple days. They finished in a day or two, but the key point is it doesn’t even matter; the point is that at the end of September there will be legislative session of the Russian Parliament where they except this regions into Russia and Russian president immediately signs the law.
From the Russian perspective, these regions are part of Russia, and the next logical step is, if Ukraine continues fight, attacks whatever targets is considered Russian territory, there is very high chance in early October Russia leadership may use that as excuse to declare formal war, or further tighten the screws in the country.
Right now people or males can still freely leave Russia, the only exception is if they are already on a list of people who they want to stay; those cannot leave. Those who are not on the list can leave; there is still a decent outflow of people from Russia.
It does look like its going to a very high chance of formal declaration of the war, probably sometime early October, not guaranteed though. This looks likely, based on what everything, the rhetoric we’re seeing it does look like its going in that direction.
Mobilization Potential:
Russian mobilization potential is about 14 million: that’s what they can mobilize and, realistically speaking, its somewhat closer to 10 million. Once you start getting to that 14 million number, you’re pulling so many males out of the economy that the economy will start to fall apart, literally & immediately.
Probably you can pull about 10, technically yes you can pull 14 nobody ever pulled more than that number and for their for the good reasons because simple economy stops functioning everything falls apart not because people didn’t want to and
Ukrainian full potential is about three maybe 3.5 million is probably the top the same as 14 for Russia, realistically speaking. Probably a little bit under three million is what Ukraine can pull out of the economy without making everything fall apart.
In Ukraine, there is probably extremely unemployment - probably through the roof. Its formally not reported because most businesses are done; there’s very little of the economy left at this point.
The money that Ukrainian government gets from from the West, leaves the country; that which is spent in the economy are those businesses that get cater to military needs, they somehow survive; anything major its gone.
For example: steel making its essentially done, chemical industry done, building done; the only things maybe not done is agriculture, but I’m extremely skeptical that I’m seeing this whole situation that Ukrainian farmers and those who hold a lot of Ukrainian land, because its not just farmers, there’s a lot of industrial companies that own 50,000 hectares, even to 200,000 hectares. (1 hectare = 2.47 acres, 200,000 hectares = 772.2 sq. miles)
Those ones they’re probably the most realistic to stop, because they’re not local, they live outside, like some of the people you’ll see in “Battalion Monaco” & own those companies. They’re not gonna risk their money because they need to invest now, in the fall, in the seeds, fertilizer, and and fuel. They probably will just sit on their money in in Monaco; local farmers are more inclined to continue planting, but agriculture is halfway done.
The only other area that’s still some functioning is IT, but with the mobilization of more people that will probably get hurt as well, because its very clear that Russia is not mobilizing just 300,000 people Russia is going to mobilized much more than that and and right away. The 300 was a misleading number. To balance that Ukraine, probably will need to mobilize more.
Ukraine has about 700,000-800,000 people in the armed forces between the National Guard & the Ukrainian Army and military police. About the end of September, early October, the first batch of Ukrainian trainees from the 10,000 that was sent at the end of June to the UK is coming back to Ukraine. The hope is they will be good support for Ukrainian forces: from my perspective, they are not getting correct right type of training.
Maybe its good that they getting training with the heavy equipment, but in terms of tactics, they definitely aren’t getting the correct training there, because the people who train them themselves, don’t have that experience and don’t know how to do it .
What this really means is they are properly trained from at least in basics, and they know how to use equipment very well, because there were many instances where some of the Ukrainian soldiers were not trained; technically they go through the training, but the training is lip service: they don’t even know how to use Javelin or NLAWs or anti-tank missiles properly. They have them, but they cannot use them and tso their positions get overrun.
North Luhansk’:
Russian frontline is collapsing in slow motion. Ukrainian troops managed to establish bridgehead on the eastern side of a Oskil River near the Pertropanika. We don’t know much about this situation but there were quite a lot of advances.
At this point there is no contiguous frontline Russian frontline. What would happen Ukrainian troops in the northeast managed to capture several more villages to the east, the Russian troops retreated.
Then reportedly Russian troops counter attacked and recaptured some. What the real situation on on the ground is, probably nobody really knows; everything is super fluid.
There is no more frontline; this is maneuver warfare; both sides are moving. This highlights the situation that Russian command simply does not have anything to to slow it down.
On 23rd, yesterday the UA decisively breached the Russian position. Russian command does not have anything to stem this advance at this point.
What happened, Russians tried to slow the advance down and were actually trying to use extensively aviation, and result was extremely disastrous for the Russian side: there was one KH-52 attack helicopter shot down; two SU-34, which is a tactical bomber, shot down; a SU-30 shot down; and a SU-25, a ground attack airplane, was shot down.
Four airplanes, one helicopter, five units. Russian aviation cannot sustain these losses. This only highlights this desperation situation when they throw whatever they can because there is simply no infantry, no resources on the ground to stem the advance. The only question the Ukrainian side is: does Ukraine have enough resources to continue decisively to move in this in this area?
At this point is an excellent opportunity to pick low hanging fruit, Ukraine can take back all of the North Luhansk’ territory. Once Svatove reached then there is a straight road to Starobis’k. With that, this whole section on the front line may collapse - we’re not even talking about this Lyman at this point.
Lyman probably there is pro that’s probably why Ukrainian side is not attacking it so aggressively because it is going to be either encircled or evacuated, and more likely its going to be evacuated than in circled. I’m pretty sure that Russia troops will evacuate at the last moment.
We know there are two detachments; they are not formal detachments of regular Russian army. its called Bars 13 and Bars 16. what they are they actually like those actually people who served in Russian army, but they decided not to continue contract.
they were doing some civilian stuff, but with the start of the war they were offered short-term contracts and they signed. They are fighting as a part of Russian army, but they are not formal regular military units, but ad hoc attachments, I understand. The point is Russian command does not have anything to defend with at this point, in this area, so collapse is literally happening as we speak.
The mobilized soldiers could be thrown and probably will the way it goes slow they might be thrown somewhere here to defend this Svatove/Starobis’k/Biloluts’k line; probably that’s the next stop of this of this collapse, if Russian command will manage to get enough of those mobilized soldiers, that’s probably where the next resistance line is going to be by the Russian troops. That’s the most important so far development on on the front line in general..
now let’s move to let’s move to North section of the front line since here I’m more or less the same as always so Ukrainian side is trying to attack out of spearness into the south south east without my success Russian log number Center is trying to attack towards fast to retake initiative and put Ukraine inside on the defense so it doesn’t look like its working or some attacks here in Solidar that don’t go as always anywhere at this point simply just not because something is wrong which is the Russian side does not have enough density of troops that’s the artillery to make advances here and again here in the dry difficult side so its more pushing towards Southern flank of Bakhmut essentially.
Central Donbas:
I would like to explain there is also UA 115th Mechanized Brigade here now: this is not militia brigade because militia brigade tends to start from 100, I think 102, above 100, and the regular regular Ukrainian military brigades used to be below 100, with a few exceptions. One exception was the 128th Brigade.
Apparently some of these militia brigades are being converted into a regular military brigades and and they retain their old numbers. I don’t know all of the details, but we have a new brigade here on this section of the front line, the same goes for 110th; they are regular regular Ukrainian military units now.
Kherson Bridgehead:
Most the focus is on attacking Russian pontoons and ferries across the Dniepr River to drain these troops of resources. But the whole situation revolves around the inability of Ukrainian troops to properly attack. By properly I mean is: first there is reconnaissance, then there is artillery support to suppresses any counter battery fire.
Now the UA attacks without suppressing anything, without reconnaissance, and its just insanity. Giving this whole situation its probably the best strategy to drain this Russian resources. Then when they completely weak, attack them later - giving the situation with the skills in the Ukrainian side, that’s the most efficient approach and saves life that’s the most important here
CIA/MI6 front = Propaganda peddlers and liars.
It’s going to be interesting to see the new direction the war takes in a few days.
“If NATO doesn’t back the hell off, we are 1 second away from a nuclear war. If NATO continues to pretend that this is some game designed to weaken Russia.. Russia just changed the game. They said they are not playing this game anymore. The game has changed. NATO needs to wake up to the fact that anything it does once the referendums have passed will be an act of war against the Russian federation— and Russia will treat it as such and respond accordingly. It will not be a slow roll out, if NATO continues to provide Ukraine with the means to attack mother Russia, which very soon will be Kherson, Zaporozhie, you know all that daily pounding of the nuclear plant? It’s over man. It’s over. Do it again when it becomes Russia, I dare you Ukraine, you will cease to exist. I’m not saying Russia is gonna use nukes against them, Russia will just simply turn off the lights. Russia will kill the leadership (of Ukraine) The gloves are off, this has been a special military operation, we talked about how it constrains Russia (the SMO) now all constrains are off. When Russia starts defending mother Russia, they’re now gonna bring all of their abilities to the forefront. Russia has 25 million men available, they can go as big as NATO wants to go. Russia is ready to go as big as necessary. And if NATO wants to make this an issue, Russia will cross that threshold. If NATO wants to threaten the existence of Russia, by attacking Mother Russia either directly or indirectly through the Ukrainian proxy, then Russia will use every means at its disposal to ensure that it will fail — including nuclear weapons.” - former United States Marine Corps intelligence officer Scott Ritter
Ukraine already attacked Crimea. Supposedly RuZZian. Nothing happened except RuZZians died.
The U.S. has sent more than $54 billion to Ukraine since the war.
“The U.S. has sent more than $54 billion to Ukraine since the war.”
Makes me proud. Reagan would have sent more though...
As I said, “It’s going to be interesting to see the new direction the war takes in a few days.”
According to Ritter....
“Russia just changed the game. They said they are not playing this game anymore. The game has changed.”
