More than under Stalingrad: How many technology Russia lost in the battles for Pokrovsk

However, the Battle of Pokrovsk has already become the greatest battle not only of Russia's war against Ukraine, but also became one of the greatest battles in history in the number of lost armored vehicles. About it writes military journalist Volodymyr Datsenko. In Tred on X Datsenko, he notes that in attempts to capture Pokrovsk the losses of Russia are close to the number of the entire Western military district of Russia as of 2022, which was preparing for war with NATO.

And this is about 60% of the forces that Russia planned to seize Ukraine in three days in 2022. Only visually confirmed losses of the Russian army for 13 months of battles in the Pokrov area are 1800 units of armored vehicles. The real losses are even greater.

The numbers of loss of offensive equipment of the Pokrovsky district as of November 15, 2024 are briefly: the number of losses of Russians in the Pokrovsky battle is close to the number of Western military district as of 2022, which consisted of three armies: 1st tank army, 6th and 20 -The all -military armies.

The Western Military District of the Russian Federation had to resist "NATO's Armed Forces in Europe", and the first tank army was the largest pride of Putin and the largest tank army in the world. It is worth noting that all these resources were spent during the advance on two small cities: Avdiivka and Pokrovsk, whose population was about 95 thousand people before the war. "Russia has lost more tanks under Pokrovsk than any country in Europe has in its army.

Or more soldiers than all the UK's armed forces. Remember this when you read the news about fighting for a small town in eastern Ukraine. In the future, historians will have to review the term "Pyrriv Victory" and replace it with "Putin's offensive", - notes Datsenko The losses of armored vehicles under Pokrovsk exceed the loss of the German army in the Battle of Stalingrad. The knife in all directions.

"It is probably no less violent battles and frontal attacks of the Russian army in the coming months. These months will be the culmination of the Pokrovsky offensive. The offensive in which Russia will lose three armies to approve the ambitions of its dictator," Datsenko summarizes.
