According to published documents, Ukraine allegedly has an advantage in tanks and armored personnel carriers.
Published on the Internet, it is alleged that the documents of the intelligence agency of the US Department of Defense contain estimates of the losses of Ukraine and Russia in the war, which differ significantly from the official data of both sides. On Wednesday, April 12, Reuters wrote.

Russian losses were estimated at 35.5-43 thousand killed in the battle and 154-180 thousand wounded, that is, a total of 189.5-223 thousand. The losses of Ukraine were estimated in total from 124.5 to 131 thousand – 15.5-17.5 thousand died and 109-113.5 thousand were wounded.
“These numbers are about 10 times higher than any public casualty figures published by Moscow or Kiev,” Reuters emphasizes.
The agency paid attention to the balance of forces between the Ukrainian and Russian armies, which, according to published documents, generally indicates a numerical advantage for Russia, but Ukraine allegedly’ y have 802 tanks and 3,498 armored personnel carriers on the battlefield, while Russia has only 419 tanks and 2928 armored personnel carriers.
As for the loss of armored vehicles, according to published information, Russia lost 2,048 tanks (this is more than 1,500 less than the figure provided by Ukrainian sources) and 3,900 armored personnel carriers , while Ukraine lost 468 tanks and 1,020 armored personnel carriers.
At the same time, the Russian side has an advantage in fighter jets and air defense systems.
