Russia loses 10 tanks daily from the beginning of the Armed Forces counter -offensive - Forbes

In the last two months, the Armed Forces have lost 71 tanks, but at the same time seized 194. That is, stocks of heavy weapons in Ukraine have increased, although usually the attacks are more at a side. Russian troops have been losing an average of 10 tanks every day. The increase in the number of lost equipment is explained by the simultaneous counter -offensive of the Armed Forces - both in the east and in the south of the country. Ukrainian troops lose relatively less - about two tanks a day.

Forbes writes about it. The authors of the publication are surprised by this ratio, since the loss of the attacking party usually exceeds the loss of those who defend. In addition, fire power in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation should prevail.

The authors of the journalistic investigation point out that the Russians began to lose more not so much because Ukraine has an advantage in technological terms, but because of the poor management and the low moral spirit of the military personnel of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces. Half of the combat vehicles that the Russian troops have lost since the beginning of last month, their crews simply left our military.

The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation was lost relatively much before the Armed Forces counter -offensive. As of September 1, the Russians lost 994 tanks, 614 of them were destroyed. And these are 5 tanks a day, starting in late February. The total number of lost tanks of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation from February to October 19 - 1392, 801 of them were destroyed. Since the beginning of the counter -offensive, the loss of Ukrainian troops has increased to two tanks a day.

As of October 19, Ukraine lost 320 tanks, of which 176 have been destroyed. In the last two months, the Armed Forces lost 71 tanks, but at the same time seized 194. That is, during the counter -offensive, the reserves of heavy weapons of Ukrainian forces have increased. We will remind that in the Nikolaev area of ​​the Armed Forces the fighter of the Su-25 Russian Air Force was shot down, which provided aviation support in the area of ​​collisions.
