Today marks 11 years of russia's #war against #Ukraine with the invasion of #Crimea

🇺🇦 regained positions in #Kotlynne and #Uspenivka (south west of #Pokrovsk)

🇷🇺 advanced in #Pohrebky (south of Sudzha in #Kursk)

🇺🇦 hit 🇷🇺 #oil refinery and pipeline in #Tuapse, Krasnodar Krai

Explosions in #Sevastopol

🇺🇦 defended against 176 🇷🇺 #drones overnight

1 civilian killed, 2 injured by 🇷🇺 drone attack on #Bucha, Kyiv

🇷🇺 hit 🇺🇦 energy facility #Dnipropetrovsk

Since Feb 2022, 10,200 🇷🇺 #tanks have been hit

History repeats itself. When the #Czech ice hockey team thrashed the Soviets in 1968, the year Russian #tanks rolled over Prague, we dissidents celebrated. This year, it was Canada's turn to put the bully — the US, newly allied with Russia — out to pasture... oh, Canada!

Germany to provide Ukraine with 4,000 AI-powered ‘Mini-Taurus’ drones

It boasts 4 times the range of #kamikaze #drones & has warheads powerful enough to destroy #Russian #tanks. The drones are cheaper than foreign equivalents, like US made Switchblades or Russian Lancets

Drone can orient itself in terrain & is resistant to GPS jamming

After operator orders a strike, the drone flies independent, even with lost radio connection

Shipping Giant Maersk Violated Spanish Embargo on Sending Military Goods to Israel, Researchers Say

Researchers reveal the significant role the Danish firm has played in delivering military goods to Israel, including armored vehicles.

"...the findings, shared in advance with The Intercept, reveal the significant role that Maersk — a publicly traded, family-controlled company — has played in delivering military goods to Israel, including tanks and other armored vehicles or their parts, aircraft components, armored plates, parts for artillery systems, and many hundreds of shipments that are unidentified or unspecified “military equipment.”

Analyzing shipment export data from over 2,000 shipments over the last year, the researchers report that they were able to reveal a commercial supply chain rife with materiel bound for use in Israel’s assault on Gaza.
The researchers said the available shipping data suggests that Maersk ships violated a Spanish embargo policy by transiting through the port of Algeciras..."

Wikipedia lists I'm currently missing:

Wars ranked by tanks destroyed (columns for total numbers, per weight class, SPGs, tank destroyers, etc).

Wars ranked by naval forces lost (columns for total tonnage, total # of ships, crew, separate per types of ships)

Mainly because I'm wondering if Russia's war on Ukraine now has more tanks destroyed than every war but WW2 now
(9000 destroyed Russian tanks will be reached today, by official Ukrainian count)

@Doreen32128 @hanse_mina yeah, just think that #putin wanted to take #Vuhledar that he sacrificed tens of thousands of #russians hundreds of #tanks and #apc just for a small town that used to have a population of 17.000 just for he thinks he should control #Ukraine
We seen the same kind of madness repeat time after time, but good for Ukraine is that #russia will soonish run out of the soviet equipment and young men in best fighting age.
