Ukraine Winning the Arms (Destruction) Race

Currently, Ukraine leads Russia by more than 3:1 in tanks destroyed, abandoned, or captured. The latter two categories probably include damaged and disabled vehicles.

Overall, Ukraine leads Russia in measure of material losses, both land and air (plus two ships), inflicted on military equipment. Numbers are recorded only when substantiated by video or pictorial confirmation. Quite a bit of which is provided by the Underdog's Friend, the Turkish-supplied drone, Bayaraktar.

Oryx blog has tallied both sides' materiel losses as follows:
Russia - 1204, of which: destroyed: 508, damaged: 15, abandoned: 182, captured: 499
Ukraine - 332, of which: destroyed: 128, damaged: 5, abandoned: 45, captured: 154


Ukraine Weapons Tracker on Twitter @UAWeapons is the place to see video of Ukraine's "cancel cuture" of Putie's assets.

Speaking of whom, Putie is begging China for military aid because he's losing assets faster than he's capable of replacing them and his 3-day invasion schedule is weeks behind where it should be. Oddly enough, Russian intelligence that led all to believe their invading forces would be greeted by Ukrainians throwing flower petals in welcome has been cancelled, too. The Financial Times has the story.

The Biden Administration has made clear that nations who help Russia subvert sanctions or recompense Putie for his loss of face and military equipment will pay.
National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan warned China on Sunday that they probably shouldn't try and "bailout" Russia or skirt the sanctions.

"We will ensure that neither China, nor anyone else, can compensate Russia for these losses," Sullivan told NBC. "In terms of the specific means of doing that, again, I’m not going to lay all of that out in public, but we will communicate that privately to China, as we have already done and will continue to do."
So far, even China's lip service in support of Putin's War has been mumbled mostly under its breath at the U.N. Otherwise, crickets.

NATO's and Ukraine's policy of "cancel culture" is proving effective in staggering Putin's strongman ambitions. For the sake of world peace and the avoidance of Armageddon, nobody better put a foot wrong.

>2 Limelite: Good to see Ukraine taking advice and studying up on techniques used in Afghanistan during Russia's ten year unsuccessful intrusion there. Russia did not enjoy those techniques ...
