There are an awful lot of videos of burned out columns of Russian military vehicles. https://twitter.com/RALee85

Current Ukrainian claims of Russian losses may be inflated, but it’s hard to tell from outside: 27 Planes, 26 Helicopters, 146 Tanks, 706 Armoured vehicles, 49 Cannons, 1 Buk missile launcher, 4 Grad missile launchers, 30 Cars, 60 Cysterns, 2 UAVs, 2 Ships/boats, 4300 Personnel.

with this much damage, I'd think we'd see WAY MORE videos, and some actual security experts agree on that too: https://twitter.com/DAlperovitch/status/1497717078085804037

I can't operate a SAM at the same time as the camera app. There may be good reasons for the dearth of footage.

Here is a list of losses for which there is video evidence https://www.oryxspioenkop.com/2022/02/attack-on-europe-docum...

I would assume the number without publicly available video to be 5–10x higher.
