Welp there goes the Ukrainian Air Force's dwindling stock (and Poland's too).

Russian air defense shot down a Ukrainian Mi-24 attack helicopter in the Kherson sector of the front. The downed helicopter may have been from a batch recently transferred to the Zelensky regime by Poland.

Holy shit, I haven't heard that particular techno beat since the mid aughts.
Sun bears are either real or a very long running scam. They're weird, but have been around for a long time.
Sun Bears are very much real, and are actually a critically endangered species. They tend to be very shy and frightened by humans and usually try to avoid them, but of course there's a number of videos of Indian TikTok and Twitter clout chasers getting mauled by them for getting up close and harassing them like the dumbasses they are.
Has anyone compiles a running tally of confirmed and suspected destroyed Ukrainian equipment? If they're resorting to North Korean stuff they may not have a lot left.
I don't know if there's been a real accurate tally/count of how much equipment the Ukrainians have lost. I know earlier in this thread there were numbers from the Russian defense ministry that put it at something like 6,000 or more, but that sounds almost as comically unrealistic as the Ukrainians' own claims of Russian material losses. It also doesn't help that since so many Ukrainian vehicles are also used by the Russian/Separatist side (especially at the beginning of the conflict) that the Ukrainians were very easily able to pass off their own losses as Russian losses, and often with the support of supposedly "independent" OSINT groups.
In terms of donated NATO equipment, from what I've seen here and in other threads, I think we can list the the destroyed or captured numbers as:
4-6 Leopard 2's MBT's (of both the A4 and A6 variety)
4 AMX-10RC heavy armored cars/tank destroyers
1 Alvis Stormer self-propelled SAM (possible)
15-17 M2 Bradley IFV's
1-2 VAB wheeled APCs
2 AHS Krab 155mm self-propelled howitzers
1 RM-70 122mm MLRS system
2 CV-90 IFV's
2 Gepard SPAAG's
1 Patriot SAM battery (possible)
1-2 Stryker APC's (possible)
At least one M101 105mm field howitzer
Numerous M777 155mm howitzers
Numerous M113 APC's
At least 2 FV103 Spartan APC's
1-2 ATF Dingo MRAP's
Numerous British Husky and Mastiff MRAP's
Numerous US MaxxPro MRAP's
Numerous HMMWV's
That's what I can think of off the top of my head. If there are any other military vehicle autists who'd like to go back through this thread (and the secret hideout) to double check on claims and footage of destroyed/captured NATO wunderwaffen, and maybe pool in other outside sources, we might be able to come up with a decent guesstimate of how much and what kind of equipment paid for by of our hard-earned tax dollars have been thrown into the Ukrainian bonfire.
As for those North Korean rockets, I still think those are the 122mm rockets that it was recently announced that Ukraine would be receiving from Pakistan (ie Pakistan bought them from North Korea years ago, and decided that's what they'd ship off to Ukraine to get Washington to stop breathing down their necks).
