Half of Russian armored vehicles destroy the Drones of the Armed Forces: experts have calculated the loss of occupiers

In just one week, Ukrainian drone operators destroyed 189 units of the occupiers. The most went to trucks and tanks. Last week, Ukrainian drone operators caused great damage to the occupiers, accurately destroying the heavy and light equipment of the Russians, as well as the personnel of the Russian army. This was reported in his Telegram channel by the head of Minister Mikhail Fedorov.

He noted that these results were made possible by the increase of the "army of drones" and the enormous professionalism of all Ukrainian heroes. According to the Military Analytist, Defense Express, due to the fact that the Fedorov table is broken down by the affected goals, it is possible to distinguish the percentage of losses caused by the drones-Kamikadze.

These statistics can be compared to the General Staff of the Armed Forces, but it should be borne in mind that there is a formulation "General Fighting Losses of the Opponent", and in the given statistics of the Ministry of Digital Transformation, the wording "affected" is used, and the defeat does not always lead to loss.

In addition, it should not be forgotten that Mikhail Fedorov provides data only behind the UAV mouths, that is, separate military units of defense forces engaged in attacks with drones. Other units also strike drones on the occupiers, so the losses of Russians can be much larger.

If you take all the losses of the enemy, according to the AFU of the Armed Forces, from August 28 to September 4, 2023, the enemy lost 84 tanks, 109 combat armored vehicles, 208 artillery systems, 13 RSSS, 39 units of special equipment and 295 cars, Defense Express writes. If you compare two statistics with all the caveats, then the proportion of drones is: thus, UAVs of different types: Kamikadze and bombers, accounts for about half of all the Russian technique.

The Defense Express expert notes that this situation is quite clear. UAVs allow you to impress goals outside of direct visibility. This makes them much more effective than the PTRC, the vast majority of which can only attack the goals when they appear in the sight. The use of drones-Kamikadze and drones with reset also has an important aspect, because it is these drones that make it possible to hit the enemy's moving technique as much as possible, which is much more difficult to make artillery.

Among the interesting things in the statistics of the Ministry of digital transformation is the affected personnel, the Defense Express expert said. This mark is 1. 46% of the total human losses of the Russian Federation for the same period. The latter explicitly indicates that the scope of drones to eliminate the personnel remains quite low, although a potentially effective tool.
