Agree

Note: I am fine with nuclear power plants as long as they are not mismanaged (including large delays and massive construction budget overruns)

Accelerating the switch to renewables + EVs is necessary for ecological, economic, and national security reasons - but a large part of the population (and politicians they elect) consists of conservative idiots who prefer resource dependence on authoritarian shitholes...

good news :)

btw.: UAZ-452 will stay, since they are usually used for cargo transport :)

For those interested, our colleagues at @warspotting.bsky.social are still listing these equipment losses for the Russian side.

For the truck category, it will be a relatively small change, since heavy cargo transport vehicles will be kept, and only some smaller vehicles, whose purpose is primarily to move people (like Ulan ATVs, UAZ-469, etc.) will be removed.

and if somehow we were able to document them, the loss list would be completely overrun by tens of thousands of drones (with numbers only going higher).

The equipment that will be delisted has, over time, turned into consumables - being produced and lost in vast quantities - making it both far less common that their losses are documented

This will affect the following equipment:

all recon UAVs (UCAVs are staying)
all UGVs
some smaller vehicles currently listed under the "trucks" category, like Ulan ATVs

Equipment that has, over time, turned into cheap consumables, and its documented losses became gradually more detached from real losses, will stop being added, and around the end of April or early May will be removed.

Some long-discussed/planned changes that I am now starting to implement on the Oryx loss list for the war in Ukraine:

I am supposed to be taking care of our puppy (Dante) today, so the loss list update summary might end up being posted tomorrow.

I have a sprained ankle that got worse yesterday (lots of swelling and pain).

I had it checked at the ER - all tests were good, but working on my PC is now impractical, so I will skip posting loss list updates this weekend - you will get bigger updates next weekend.

The problem is that Congress can only block leaving NATO, but can't force Trump to uphold the mutual protection obligations.

The level of US self-sabotage of its superpower status is off the charts...

"Donald Trump has told The Telegraph he is strongly considering pulling the United States out of Nato after it failed to join his war on Iran." www.telegraph.co.uk/gift/bcd7726...

Also added to the loss list, but I forgot to mention it in the summary:
