So a quick update on Sudan: You remember the video of fleeing RSF Forces in Khartoum. These guys had to leave their vehicles behind and i finished counting it. (In case you missed it i am talking about this video) x.com/ThomasVLinge...

Thomas van Linge on X: "#Sudan 🇸🇩: drone footage shows hundreds of people, presumably #RSF militants, fleeing from #Khartoum over the Jebel Aulia dam as the #SAF is in the process of clearing the entire capital. https://t.co/O3KZQwTa3Y" / X

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.

Elmustek @elmustek.bsky.social · 19/03/2025
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.

Elmustek @elmustek.bsky.social · 11/03/2025
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.

Elmustek @elmustek.bsky.social · 02/03/2025
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.

Elmustek @elmustek.bsky.social · 01/03/2025
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.

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.

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.

You cant imagine how much i feel this. You put countless hours in something, just for some dude to come around the corner with "aCkTuAlLy". Then you take a break and realise that not posting is way more enjoyable. Been there countless times now. (Screenshot since he isnt on here)

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.

Just gonna drop a couple of potential lists that might happen in the next 4 years as a Bingo Card: - SMO Mexico: US SMO against the Cartels - Operation Just Cause 2: 2nd US Invasion of Panama - War Plan Red for Real (kinda): US Invasion of Canada - US Invasion of Greenland

Regarding this article: This is so stupid. Who will replace these technicans? Pensioners? And who will crew the Anti-Aircraft Systems? Kids? Didnt know that after 2024 comes 1945. Or does the VKS cease to exist and they also got no more missiles and Drones? x.com/mil_in_ua/st...

The Ukrainian Army lost an interesting Vehicle, a Iveco Magirus 90-16 AW 4x4 Gerätewagen Whats interesting about it (Most likely only for my German Followers) is that this is most likely a former German THW Vehicle. See the blue color visible on the edges.
