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.

“China’s biggest cities shrank last year – but they might have a more ‘disastrous’ problem”
“A declining youth population and fewer new births ‘will have a disastrous impact on all industries in China in the long term’, analyst in Beijing warns”
“A decline in the population of China’s biggest cities is cause for concern but it is dwarfed by the country’s biggest demographic challenge – the falling birth rate, an analyst and an official newspaper said.
In a commentary on Saturday, state-owned Economic Daily said that while the population decline last year in the four largest mainland cities – Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou and Shenzhen – should be taken seriously, it should not cause too much anxiety.
“The decrease in resident populations in Beijing and Shanghai is the result of the megacities’ active and reasonable control of population size based on resource conditions and functional positioning,” the article said.
According to official data, the four cities reported a combined loss of more than 275,000 people last year.”

The Russian military, the second largest military in the world, may not be what it looks like.

Designed to support the U.S. Army Captains Career Course, “Understanding Combined Arms Warfare” defines and outlines the important aspects of modern combined arms operations. This is not a complete history of combined arms warfare. It is intended to highlight the most important aspects of the subject.
The beginning of the documentary establishes a common understanding of combined arms warfare by discussing doctrinal and equipment developments in World War I. The second part compares the development of French and German Army mechanization during the interwar period and describes how each country fared during the Battle of France in 1940. The film concludes by showing how the United States applied combined arms operations in the European Theater in World War II.

[ Russians Panic | Huge Success. Ukrainians Penetrate 16km Wide Front. 1st Line Breached ]
••Day 471: Jun 09
Today there is a lot of good news from the Orikhiv direction.
When it comes to the western flank, today Ukrainian 130th Brigade finally released a video of how they stormed and successfully captured Lobkove.
The video shows how the main attack group advances along the tree lines and prepares to enter the settlement. Ukrainians used small mortar systems to be able to react very quickly to the organized enemy defense and suppress their fire. After around 5 minutes of work, Ukrainians were ready to enter the outer edge of the settlement.
Today, Russian sources reported that Ukrainians were already digging trenches and preparing fortifications in the southern part of the settlement right near Piatykhatky.
Russians once again claimed that they unleashed their artillery and Ukrainians abandoned the village without a fight, however, some sources specified that only 1 personnel carrier arrived at the village, collected the wounded, brought reinforcements, and left.
The freshest reports indicate that Russians engaged several Ukrainian assault units in the vicinity of Zherebianky, however, the specifics are yet unknown.
When it comes to the main direction of attack, first of all, today, Ukrainian sources reported that battalion and brigade commanders had a meeting with higher-level commanders specifically to communicate the solutions to the problems that they encountered in the first days, and it was confirmed that all plans were adjusted.
One of the lower-level commanders said that mistakes were inevitable at the beginning because it was simply impossible to predict everything on paper.
He said that one of the things that they implemented is a new approach to engineering reconnaissance, and Russian mines have already become a lesser problem.
Ukrainians forces also received a lot of critique for not using mine rollers, however, it turned out the initial Russian footage just did not include Ukrainian mine rollers to show the enemy in a bad light. Recent footage confirms that Ukrainians did not attack unprepared.
Today, Ukrainians also confirmed that they successfully evacuated Leopard tanks, and most of them had minor damage, so Ukrainians quickly changed the road wheels and tracks, and the tanks were ready for use.
And Ukrainians managed to evacuate those tanks from the front line because in the aftermath of yesterday’s battle, the front line shifted by up to 3 km.
Over the last 3 days, Russian sources were continuously reporting that even though Ukrainians managed to take several positions, their attacks were repelled, and later all lost positions were recaptured.
However, if we look at these Russian maps, we can that see that over the last 3 days, the front line shifted south significantly. In fact, Ukrainians managed to penetrate a 16 km wide front by up to 3 km.
And this is consistent with the reports that Ukrainians managed to get very close to Robotyne and also capture tactical heights because if we look at the topographic map, we can see that Ukrainians captured precisely the hill that we discussed yesterday, even according to Russian maps.
This is also consistent with reports of Ukrainian fighters who claimed that they now have direct visual control of the main Russian strongholds.
Recently a Russian commander elaborated on the Russian tactics.
The goal of the first line of defense is to exhaust Ukrainian attackers and, if the attack it too intense, retreat to the second line.
Once Ukrainian attackers exhaust their offensive capabilities, Russians deploy their reserves, counterattack the exhausted Ukrainians and recapture all the positions.
It seems like, so far, the second part of the plan did not really work.
One of the reasons why it doesn’t work is that after the attack, Ukrainians use Remote Anti-Armor Mine systems or RAAM to distantly mine the roads that are used by Russian reserves.
RAAM is a specialist artillery shell that scatters anti-armor mines up 17 km away from the firing unit.
Today Russian sources reported that Ukrainians managed to mine all the main Russian roads between Robotyne and Verbove, which is exactly where Ukrainians are trying to advance.
Several hours ago, Russian sources reported that Ukrainians launched artillery preparation, which is why they are preparing to face yet another wave of attack at night.
Russian sources complained that Ukrainians switched to night attacks because Western equipment gives them the edge on the battlefield at night.
The Head of one of the Russian organizations for the inspection and supplies of weapons, Rogozin, stated that he does not share the enthusiasm around the reports of the Ukrainian defeat.
He said that Ukrainians have accumulated 600 tanks in the Orikhiv direction and that we are yet to see the main phase of the counteroffensive operation.
••The problem with the direction of the offensive is that Russia expected it, unlike the Kharkiv offensive.
Because UA troops and drone operators are not allowed to post on social media about the offensive, the only information comes from the Russians.
Russian video images are truthful, but the comments are not. People see the images of the damaged tank, read the captions, then believe them - without digging deeper.
Denys said if the flaws and mistakes are not talked about, then they will not be corrected, and people will think the Russian propaganda is truthful.

Strikes were conducted on Melitopol, Tokmak and Berdyansk. There is only one railroad to bring in supplies and it runs to all those cities. The only other way is from Crimea, and across their damaged Kersh Bridge.
The are 3 Russian defense lines, each with its own amount of artillery shells, cutting their supplies means there’s only a limited time each line can hold.
==
Failed convoy make up:
Leopard 2A4 was modified with extra armor. T-55 modified de-mining vehicle. Badly damaged and maybe burned out Bradleys. Some of the Russian images of Bradley’s are not from Ukraine - they sell have desert paint jobs. A Leopard 2A6 may have burned out - but not sure if it was an A6, maybe A5. Leopard 2R de-mining vehicle left de-mining device behind.
Social media plays a big part in the informational war; when only one side puts out information, the other side appears to be losing - even if they are actually winning.
Russians continue to say that many Leopards and Bradley were lost when that is not true. But Westerners see that and without information to the contrary ask to stop sending equipment to Ukraine, which is the Russian objective here.
==
Mistakes:
1. Too close together
2. No drone defenses
3. Daylight, minefield, very narrow road, flat terrain.
4. Lack of military intelligence about the entire situation.
Who in the Command chain was responsible for giving the particular order to use that road at that time and in that configuration?

The last working reactor went to cold idle
Bakhmut:
Wagners say the UA continues to advance and the Regular troops continue to run away. PMC is very disappointed. The UA finally crossed the water channel separating the sides, allowing for more advances
••From the Wagner channel:
Unfortunately, the situation is not developing in the best way on the southern flank of the Bakhmut direction.
The day before, the 57th Motorized Rifle Brigade lost a section on the western bank of the Seversky Donets canal 1200 m wide and up to 180 m deep. No more than 3.5 km to the village of Andreevka.
In December, the Wagner fighters did a titanic job of occupying the territories west of Andreevka. Now they sometimes give up in a matter of hours.

The Armed Forces launched a missile attack on the headquarters where Putin held a meeting in April - OSINT analyst. According to reports, it is about the headquarters of the “East” Troop Group of the National Guard of the Russian Federation on the Arabatskaya arrow (Kherson region).
Storm Shadow missiles flew there early in the morning.
==
Hard to say what is really happening now in the Zaporizhzha frontline with details. Last night there was the intensive artillery fire from Ukrainian side, but Ukrainian Army didn’t move in to penetrate the defence of the Ruzzian army. Ukraine had lots of reserves but they are not infinite. Looks like UAF attacked on one of the most defended places.
Again information is coming with tiny little parts and it is hard to see the whole picture at this point. Officially Ukraine is not on the Counterattack attack, but in fact it is.
==
The Russians are fighting better than expected - Bild.
Whoever expected that Ukraine would quickly win as soon as Western tanks and armored personnel carriers appeared in service was mistaken.
Everything looks like that Ukraine will not conduct a massive offensive with all the new weapons, but will use it purposefully in different places.
It becomes obvious that there will be no victory until the end of the year. Ukraine’s efforts to liberate the territory could drag on for years, as the Russian Federation has built a very powerful line of defense over the past 15 months.
BILD journalist Julian Repke, who previously reported the defeat of the German-made IRIS-T air defense system, clarifies that the system has not been destroyed and continues to work.

Wow, 14 unsolicited comments to your own post. It may just be me, but it seems rather frantic. Perhaps you feel that the act of vomiting out your propaganda will affect the reality on the ground and the outcome of the war. What a sad, twisted dreamscape your mind dwells in.
