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

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.

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

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

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).

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.

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