A few dozen people a day: the Russian Federation lost most of the brigade in Vovchansk - the Armed Forces
He noted that since May 10, the Russians lost most of their 138th Motorized Rifle Brigade in Vovchansk. In addition, the 83rd and 157th tank regiments suffered great losses. It is reported that the staffing number of motorized rifles in the army of the Russian Federation - up to 5000 personnel, and the tank regiments - 94 units of equipment. Sarantsev also said that Russian brigades in the Kharkiv direction sometimes lose several dozen invaders a day.
Now, according to the material, the Russians are forced to introduce new reserves or throw units from other areas. "That is, it looks like this: a brigade or a regiment comes in, attacks for several weeks, suggests crazy losses, plugs holes with reserves, gradually re -adjusting the assault groups, reducing their number, or the number of people involved in them," he explained.
According to the military, if the invaders attract reserves, they are pulled in "several hours", and it takes several days to transfer the unit from the other direction. According to the speaker, it is unlikely that Russian replenishment is 100% configured. Personnel losses can reach 40% or even higher. Despite the fact that according to the "textbook", some are considered to be incapacitated in losses of 30%.
Sarantsev said that with almost all units of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, which are now fighting in Kharkiv region, Ukrainian troops had to deal with it. For example, the 155th separate Guards Brigade of the Marines of the Pacific Fleet was engaged in looting in the Kiev region in 2022. "The 18th Motorized Rifle Division of the 11th Army Corps also fought in Kharkiv region in 2022. Almost all of them participated in the war against Ukraine in one way or another," Sarantsev said.
