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

“1/ Israel may have delivered its first weapons system to Ukraine. The ‘Smartshooter’ interception system can be installed on large drones and small aircraft, and is meant for the Shahed-136 Iranian suicide drones.
2/ We may have seen a video of a test 6 days ago.
3/ The Israeli system that operates on the principle of ‘One Shot - One Hit’. The system is operated by artificial intelligence and a system of advanced radars.
4/ Thanks to @TreasChest for finding the Debka story, and uncovering that they are sent to Ukraine through Poland, to abide by their Russian no agression pact.
5/ Here is a link to the underlying system, similar to the US “Tracking Point”.
6/ Here’s a video from the company:
7/ Iranian drones are made of plastic infused cardboard & a wooden propellers. They use a Chinese copy of a 50hp 1936 VW engine. They only cost $20,000, so AA missiles are far more expensive. ‘Smartshooter’ destroys them for the cost of a few bullets.
8/ TrackingPoint and SmartShooter don’t mechanically track targets. Instead sensors calculate distance, speed, air pressure, wind, gravity, & temperature. Then wait for random movement to shoot at the exact moment when the bullet will hit the target.”
“An Israeli anti-drone system has appeared in the combat airspace of Ukraine — the Israeli publication Debka with reference to military sources in Ukraine. According to the publication, the Ukrainian army has finished installing the advanced Israeli interception system
“Smartshooter” on light aircraft and drones with the expectation of its use against Iranian “kamikaze drones”. As previously reported, according to the Israeli publication “Times of Israel”, some Israeli company sold systems for intercepting military drones to Poland.
At the same time, according to the publication, the Ministry of Defense of Israel knew that the end user of the anti-drone system would be Ukraine, but decided not to interfere. Before Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, Israel’s Ministry of Defense issued export licenses to
Israeli manufacturing companies that wanted to sell drone defense systems to Ukraine. But when the war started, the licenses were suspended. ** “Smartshooter”, or “Smash”, is a high-tech individual fire control system using radars, capable of recognizing, tracking and engaging
aerial (UAV) and ground targets with unparalleled accuracy. The system works on the principle of “one shot - one hit”, it is controlled by artificial intelligence. The developers of “Smartshooter” pride themselves on the fact that it accurately hits targets, and there is no
Situation when it would not hit the target. The Israeli development was first shown this year at a military exhibition in Paris, after which it was successfully tested in Hebron in September.”

“Abandoned Russian base holds secrets of retreat in Ukraine”
“The Russian soldiers had fled weeks before. But they left their traces everywhere.
Concrete steps led into the basement of their hastily abandoned headquarters in this small riverside town in eastern Ukraine. A bunker smelling of damp lay behind a steel door marked “Command Group.” Papers, some charred, were stuffed into a furnace. Others were scattered across the floor.
In a floral notebook, an unnamed staff officer left a sketch of a cartoon soldier and mused about going home. The book’s 91 handwritten pages contained other information, too: coordinates of Russian intelligence units, records of calls from commanders, details of battles, men killed and equipment destroyed. And accounts of a breakdown in morale and discipline.
In all, the bunker yielded thousands of pages of documents. Reuters reviewed more than a thousand of them. They detail the inner workings of the Russian military and shed new light on events leading up to one of President Vladimir Putin’s most stinging battlefield defeats: Russia’s chaotic retreat from Ukraine’s northeast in September.
In the weeks before that defeat, Russian forces were struggling with surveillance and electronic warfare. They were using off-the-shelf drones flown by barely trained soldiers. Their equipment for jamming Ukrainian communications was often out of action. By the end of August, the documents show, the force was depleted, hit by death, desertions and combat stress. Two units – accounting for about a sixth of the total force – were operating at 20% of their full strength.”
“”In #Donetsk Oblast, the Ukrainian 79th Air Assault Brigade destroyed a damaged Russian BTR-82A APC using two adapted M430A1 HEDP 40x53mm grenades dropped from a drone.”

“Internet trolls linked to China are trying to fuel political division and discord in the U.S. ahead of the November midterm elections, suggesting Beijing is interested in meddling in American politics after largely abstaining during previous contests, according to researchers at Alphabet Inc.’s Google unit.
The efforts, which also include attempts to create rifts between the U.S. and its European allies around the war in Ukraine, appear to have had minimal impact so far, the researchers said. But they warned that the troll group’s tradecraft was rapidly maturing, and the group seemed intent on injecting disinformation into Americans’ internet feeds in ways that resemble past Russian and Iranian efforts to disrupt elections.”

Europe expected to have an unusually warm winterIt's been in the 60s for a couple of weeks. Last week it got to 71F. Right now it is 63F at 5pm.
Odds are, EU will be just fine this winter.
Each year gets easier as more LNG export and import facilities are built out around the world.
🇺🇦👍
Meanwhile nat gas prices went negative in Texas. Need more export facilities.
“Natural gas spot prices went negative in Texas on Tuesday”
“The glut of natural gas in the Texas shale patch that has grown so large prices have fallen below zero is raising fears among environmentalists that drillers are burning off more of the fuel at wells. “
“Pro-China Disinformation Blamed US for Nord Stream Explosion”
“An disinformation campaign that aligns with Beijing’s interests alleged the US was behind the recent explosions of the Nord Stream gas pipelines and that the US is backing a prolific hacking group, according to a report published Wednesday by the cybersecurity firm Mandiant.
The online propaganda campaign, which Mandiant calls “Dragonbridge,” includes social media posts seeking to discredit the US democratic process, including attempts to discourage Americans from voting in the upcoming midterm elections. An English language video posted in September claimed that the “solution to America’s ills is not to vote for someone,” but rather to “root out this ineffective and incapacitated system.””
Tomorrow 67F.
Friday 71F again.
Good news!!
LOL. Just yesterday I was told here that Europe was going to freeze. But I notice the Russian gaslighting has moved on from “Europe is going to freeze” now that Putin’s weaponization of energy has failed miserably. Now all they want to talk about is Ukraine.
