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 with the Israel List Rework this week and have now completed the timeperiod from 07.10.2023 until 23.08.2024. Now only 24.08.24 until today is missing. For the time period of the 07th October until the 13.10.2023 i analysed footage of 128 pieces of heavy equipment, 26 for the count.

I continued with the Israel List Rework and over the weekend i analysed 38 Attacks against Vehicles, 9 make it to the list (8 will go to the count). Besides that i watched 131 videos that didnt show anything relevant for the list.

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): On the 11th November 2023, Hezbollah mistook the Wreck of a M50 Super Sherman as a Merkava and fired 2x ATGMs at it.

Never thought i would say it. Especially if you look in a History book. But France is a better and more reliable ally for Germany. Damn i always thought if shit would really go down, atleast the US would show up. Guess i was wrong.

Everytime i think we finally hit the ground and this hole cant get any deeper, the Americans remind me that they got a shovel and they havent stopped digging yet.... It gets worse by the day...

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.

This comment under my last Vehicle ID Thread is hilarious. Not only a Comment-Block so i cant answer, but cause well...dunno... I got more than half of my followers for losses lists from Syria and a large part for the Israel list. Also Sudan and Myanmar and both sides in Ukraine.

Vehicle ID Thread No.28 From a Video of FPV Strikes on Ukrainian Supplyroads in Sumy. (I will do the Video i reposted earlier today on Twitter in the coming days, maybe tomorrow) We start with a Mitsubishi Pajero (Note Czech Licenseplate and an abandoned UAZ-452)

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.
