Hi,
Just a small notice: I have decided that for now I won't put new losses lists and updates to existing ones on Armadarotta.
I will continue making losses lists and update the existing ones, they will just be published like I did with Syria, as a losses sheet.

A great graph.
It really illustrates the masses of civilian vehicles on the front and imo how important they are for both sides.
They always appear as an unimportant part of this war and are overlooked by many/most.
Yet they make up a really big part of the losses.

Here are two last charts you might find interesting. They show the ratio of Russian vehicle losses between the categories of vehicles between August 2023 and February 2025. Note the differences over time.

Im pretty sure Russia wont agree to the ceasefire.
Using their logic I see no benefit for them to agree. A Ceasefire without getting territory in return equals a defeat for them.
They will make some outlandish demands and then refuse.

The Israel Rework File has 709 entries currently.
So far I consider 158 as losses, out of which around 106 are UAVs.
Let me tell you one thing:
The IDF lost a shitton of UAVs.
Then again thats kinda one of the main purposes of UAVs....

I continued counting and asked if people are interested in me posting losses/interesting things and the answer was yes, so here we go (On Twitter i forgot to ask here):

Never thought i would say it. Especially if you look in a History book.

Damn i always thought if shit would really go down, atleast the US would show up. Guess i was wrong.

Today, 3 years ago I woke up, late for work like many times.
Didn't stop me from a quick peak into the news though.
At that point I only read about airstrikes. I thought Russians wouldn't be so stupid to send in Ground Troops.

Vehicle ID Thread No.29
From various Ukrainian FPV Strikes on Russian Vehicles.
First we got 4x Desertcross 1000-3 UTVs
Two of them have some kind of EW System mounted and one had a Spotter standing on the back.
He looked in the wrong direction though.

It appears that the second Merkava Tank was destroyed in Gaza.
AAAAND WOULDNT YOU KNOW IT: Hamas managed to get aftermath footage (I know unbelievable).
Something they never publish, because it would show that out of the hundreds of strikes on Merkavas they only took out 2.

Then you take a break and realise that not posting is way more enjoyable.

Ah yes the Russian Army.
A glorified Militia made up of thugs, murderers, rapists, thiefs and drug addicts.
People who throw every bit of civilisation away for like 3k € a month.
People that only care about their personal gain.

A video has emerged showing Russian soldiers executing at least six Ukrainian POWs.
All Ukrainian servicemen seen in the footage are clearly unarmed, not offering any resistance.
The Russians order them to march a few meters forward, then shoot them in the back with cold blood.
