The number of destroyed Russian military equipment and vehicles, of which there is visual evidence, has exceeded 6,000, according to data collected by the authoritative website Oryx, which monitors the war launched almost seven months ago by Vladimir Putin in Ukraine.

Only destroyed equipment and equipment for which there is photo or video evidence is included in the list. Therefore, the number of destroyed equipment significantly exceeds that recorded here, the cited source notes. Small arms, mobile anti-tank and anti-aircraft launchers, unmanned kamikaze drones, decoy drones, civilian equipment, trailers and equipment removed from the arsenal of the Russians are not included in this list.

In total, Russia lost 6,049 pieces of equipment in Ukraine, of which: 3,768 were destroyed, 137 were damaged, 303 were abandoned, and 1,841 were captured.

On the other hand, according to visual confirmations centralized by Oryx, the Ukrainian army lost 1,588 units of equipment, of which: destroyed – 902, damaged – 40, abandoned – 44, captured – 606.

It should be noted that from the beginning of the month until now, this number has grown rapidly in the conditions of the stunning offensive of the Ukrainians in the Kharkiv region, which not only destroyed the enemy’s military equipment, but also caused the Russian troops to flee in disorder, leaving behind many active military units.

List of equipment lost by Russia:

  • Tanks -1122
  • Armored combat vehicles -572
  • BMP -1253
  • APC -163

Comparison with the assessments of the Ukrainian military

By comparison, the Ukrainian military says the occupying forces lost twice as many tanks and more than twice as many trucks and other equipment.

Obviously, as Oryx also points out, the actual number of military equipment lost by the Russians is greater than confirmed by photos and videos alone, but the difference is striking in the case of planes and helicopters (Kyiv says it shot down 4-5). times higher than there is evidence) and drones (more than 7 times higher).

Russian losses are so great that Putin’s army had to pull out very old equipment from warehouses, a very recent photo shows Ukrainian soldiers capturing one of the “dinosaurs” of the Russian army.

On Thursday morning, Britain’s Ministry of Defense said that Russian troops, who retreated in panic from Kharkiv, left behind the equipment needed for Putin’s military style of war.
