Ukraine claimed that its forces destroyed nearly 50 Russian tanks in one day, as Russia tried to capture Avdiivka, a small city in the east of the country.

The Ukrainian General Staff said that in one day of fighting, nearly 900 Russians were killed and 100 units of their armored equipment were also destroyed.

A video shared by Ukraine's military on Friday appeared to show Russian tanks and armor being destroyed as they headed towards the eastern Ukrainian city.

Russia's recent push has been a complete disaster for Russia. The scale of the devastation makes even Russia's Vulehadar losses look tame.

Here are geolocated, visually confirmed Russian losses from a few days ago, on just the northern flank of Avdiivka. Meanwhile, Russian controlled airfields are burning due to the US recently sending aid in the form of ATACMS missiles.

Ironically Crimea is where weapons like the machine gun that came to dominate the 20th century were first used in scale prior to WW1. It’s one of the world’s weapons testing grounds.

Shut up, it's been a glorious victory, they need to keep trying!

We need to duck season their army into the meat grinder if we ever want this war to end.
