"Not without records": the loss of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in Ukraine for October became known

According to him, the command of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in October ordered its troops to activate the offenses, especially in the Avdiivka area, which caused a sharp increase in losses in the Russian occupation troops. During October, several very high rates of destruction of Russian equipment were reached, and not without records. In October, the occupiers lost a record number of tanks in Ukraine - 521.

"Such figures became possible due to the fact that tanks in the troops are becoming disproportionately many. Tanks that are now increasingly not inherent in them, especially in the offensive, more often And they are destroyed, "Kovalenko said. Not a record, but a very high rate of loss on BBM of the invaders in October - 843. Such high losses of BBM in the invaders were at the beginning of a full -scale invasion of last spring.

"Such a sharp increase in losses is also due to the revaluation of the capabilities of their troops, even in the conditions of an offensive on the narrow front and the absence of a number of concomitant factors that exacerbate the assault. In October, the second result was established by the amount of destroyed artillery of the invaders - 773 units.

"This indicator confirms the fact of the high intensity of artillery duels and the level of counter -battering struggle, in which the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lose qualitatively, but quantitatively continue to have an advantage at the expense of total and very fast in terms of conservation of Soviet artillery reserves," - said Alexander Kovalenko. During October, the invaders lost 741 units of transport in battles. Although this figure is not a record, it is very high.

"Motor transport continues to remain one of the most striking indicators of the work of Ukraine's defense forces on the enemy's logistics. It should be noted that the prevailing part of the destroyed units is not specialized vehicles, but the civic sector," the expert writes. In October, a high rate of loss of personnel of the invaders was recorded. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation for a month lost - 22,920 soldiers.

"This is the second indicator, for the entire period of a full -scale invasion of Ukraine and is caused not only by the inflammatory attitude of the Russian command to the lives of its soldiers and a sharp shortage of equipment, which does not allow the staffing units to complete the full execution of combat missions," the expert. He notes that outdated occupiers' technique plays an important role in the loss of personnel because it is not suitable for effective use in the current conditions.
