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.

“Ukraine’s Zelensky: We Are Ready for Counteroffensive”
“Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky said he was now ready to launch a long-awaited counteroffensive but tempered a forecast of success with a warning: It could take some time and come at a heavy cost.
“We strongly believe that we will succeed,” Zelensky said in an interview in this southern port city as his country’s military girded for what could be one of the war’s most consequential phases as it aims to retake territory occupied by Russia.
“I don’t know how long it will take,” he told The Wall Street Journal. “To be honest, it can go a variety of ways, completely different. But we are going to do it, and we are ready.””
“The Washington Post reports on the start of demining of the line of contact by the Ukrainian military before the counteroffensive.“

TikTok, TikTok, How fast can you run?
Their biggest loss is the hundreds of thousand of shells they destroyed in the trenches of Bakhmut. No one can survive a loss of essential material as that.
The kamikaze drones in this video are not the FPV drone seen in many of the recent videos.
Since the BUK-M1 and TOR-2M systems are located well behind the FEBA, these new drones must have long range radio or satellite communications.
The drones also have a self-track (TV) capability.
The TOR-2M missile shot starts at 31 seconds on the video.
The TOR-2M missile is command guided with an RF proximity fuze.
Since the fuze did not function, the drone would be very stealthy.
The drone was probably optically tracked and not tracked by the TOR-2M radar.
IMHO, this drone type is a significant upgrade to UKR SEAD.
