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.

“Here is the best-kept secret about U.S. military aid to Ukraine: Most of the money is being spent here in the United States. That’s right: Funds that lawmakers approve to arm Ukraine are not going directly to Ukraine but being used stateside to build new weapons or to replace weapons sent to replace weapons sent to Kyiv from U.S. stockpiles. Of the $68 billion in military and related assistance Congress has approved since Russia invaded Ukraine, almost 90 percent is going to Americans, one analysis found.”

“A cold wind was blowing across the steppe, but Sapura Kadyrova didn’t see the point in bundling up. She was waiting to greet her son, who was arriving home from the war in a crimson government-issued casket.
“So maybe I won’t be warm,” Ms. Kadyrova, 85, moaned. “Then just let me die.”
All day long, she and her daughters had been greeting relatives, friends and neighbors who had come to pay their respects to her son, Garipul S. Kadyrov, who was killed near the front line in Klishchiivka in eastern Ukraine.
“In February he would have turned 50, and he promised me he would be allowed to come home then,” Ms. Kadyrova told her guests. “Now I will only meet him in his grave.””
“Mr. Kadyrov, a soft-spoken farmer known at home by his nickname, Vitya, thought he was too old to be called up to fight. But in October 2022, shortly after President Vladimir V. Putin of Russia ordered a mobilization of soldiers, Mr. Kadyrov was drafted at the age of 49. He was killed, along with two other soldiers, a few months later.”
Looks confirmed.
“Yesterday, Russian media began reporting that a train carrying fuel caught fire while moving in the Severomuysky tunnel in Buryatia.
In the evening of the same day, Russian media again reported that a train caught fire in the Severomuysky tunnel. The train caught fire on the bypass track and also carried fuel.
And this morning, Russian media reported that it was a sabotage:
“On November 30, unknown persons blew up a freight train in the North Sea tunnel consisting of 50 cars (41 tanks with diesel fuel and 3 tanks with aviation fuel). According to the locomotive crew, during the passage of the tunnel the tension was relieved and the train slowed down. While the members of the brigade were figuring out what was going on, heavy smoke began to appear in the tunnel - the brigade left the tunnel.
As a result of the explosion, 1 tank of the train burned out, and a hole was found in two tanks. After the explosion, it was possible to remove 14 tanks, but further transportation of the cars is not yet possible - the explosion seriously damaged the rails, and the leaked fuel flooded them.
Later, another train was blown up in the same area. 4 tanks of the train burned out, two more were damaged by fire.”
Ukrainian media and some western media according to their sources related to SBU say that it was a work of the Security Service of Ukraine”

“Russian media released footage of the fire after a freight train, carrying 50 tanks with fuel, exploded, reportedly carried out by the SBU. The Russians confirm a criminal case is opened and sabotage is expected. “As a result of the explosion, tank 16 at the head of the train burned out, and a hole was found in two tanks (20 and 22 at the head of the train) in the drainage area. After the explosion, it was possible to remove 14 tanks, but further transportation of the remaining tanks is not yet possible - the explosion seriously damaged the rails, and the leaked fuel flooded them,” they write.”

“A sniper from Ukrainian SSO, shot down 12 Russian soldiers in the Avdiivka area within 1 hour of work. You can even see the trajectory of the bullets. In the back an abandoned Leopard 2A6 can also be seen. Likely the one damaged in the beginning of November.”

According to sources, this detonation was the second stage of the SBU's special operation to disable this important railway line. The Russians use it for military logistics including movements of ammunition and weapons from the DPRK.
The first freight train exploded yesterday inside of the Severomuy tunnel. In order to continue the movement, the Russians began to use the detour that passes over the Chortov Most ("Devil's Bridge") near Tonnelnyi, Buryatia, Russia. This is exactly what the SBU was counting on: when the train was passing over this 35-meter high bridge, the explosive devices embedded in it went off.
Geolocation: 56.271604, 113.360442
According to Russian Telegram channels, 6 tanker cars caught fire from the explosion and a fire train was dispatched to put out the fire.

A deep strike on ruzzian logistics.
First would be surprised if there is a body in the casket and if their is it is her husband, second I thought only Ukraine was drafting old men to fight.
Humm
Read a story on this line and its construction. One of the strange things in the article was that the tunnel was something like 9 miles long but only reduced transit time by 15 minutes.
Something odd there or I misread
This is the kind of damage that is not easily repaired, if both are down then that is a good thing.
Curious if it is possible for only one tank to burn in a closed environment like that, seems the others would join the party. Happened in the open air on kirtch bridge.
Either way good thing

Shoigu wants to transfer military personnel, artillery and tanks to the border with Finland
According to two of our sources in the Ministry of Defense, the reason is Poland’s plans to send military personnel to Finnish territory to help “protect the border with Russia.”
“Leonid Slutsky has already made a statement that we are not afraid of the Polish military in Finland. This is not entirely true.
“Of course, a direct and open war with NATO is unlikely to start, but we must be prepared for provocations and different scenarios,” said one of our interlocutors.
According to him, it is planned to transfer “one or two thousand” military personnel with artillery, MLRS and several tanks.
Intensified patrolling of the border with Finland by our aviation can also be organized. The ministry has not yet decided where exactly the troops can be transferred from.
“Finland has shown itself to be an unfriendly state by blocking our border. It’s high time we understood how we deal with unfriendly states. Using Ukraine as an example,” said another source in the Ministry of Defense.
However, he does not expect Russia to conduct a “SVO or its equivalent” on Finnish territory or near the border.
The issue of troop transfer is now under consideration by Vladimir Putin.
Another victory by the greatest military strategist ever. Increase the border that your “enemy” has with you.
Where he will get those troops and equipment will be interesting, and nothing like a a little more than 1 -2 troops per kilometer density to feel secure or launch a SMO..
Maybe add some blow up dolls with the wavy hand thing or those things you see typically at car dealerships. Should scare Finland and NATO into submission.
