The artificial intelligence compared images of the amount of equipment in the occupiers’ military facilities before the start of a large-scale invasion and now.
Russia may have only a few thousand armored fighting vehicles left. This conclusion was reached by an artificial intelligence model taught by the German newspaper Süddeutsche Zeitung to learn satellite images of Russian military facilities. Newsweek reported this on Thursday, June 27.
It was noted that the AI model studied images of 87 military facilities and 16 storage bases for tanks, armored personnel carriers and artillery installations and compared their number there before the start of a large-scale invasion and now.
In particular, one of these bases is the 111th Central Tank Reserve Base of the Ground Forces in the southeast of the Russian Federation. As of April 2021, there are 857 tanks here. Now the base is almost empty. The invaders lost almost half of these tanks in the first months of the war. Examination of other military facilities showed a similar picture.
Defense and military assessment expert at the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) in London, Michael Gjerstad, estimates the number of tanks in Russia at 3,200. But most, he said, are in poor condition and in need of significant repairs.
The Oryx analytical project visually confirmed that since the beginning of the large-scale war in Ukraine, 2,144 Russian tanks were destroyed, 159 were damaged, 352 were abandoned and 518 were captured. The General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces cited the number of 8,042 tanks lost to the enemy.
“Russia is losing more equipment than it can replace, and its reserves are running out so, it is important for Ukraine to inflict such huge material losses on the Russians that at some point the situation becomes critical for them,” said an elder. researcher at an international think tank European Council on Foreign Relations Gustav Gressel.
According to BILD military analyst Julian Repke, the Russians are now losing a lot of equipment due to the fact that escaping tank crews leave hatches open. The Ukrainian Armed Forces launched small kamikaze drones there and finally destroyed the destroyed tanks.
We remind you that the previous day, defenders of Ukraine destroyed three tanks, nine armored combat vehicles and 42 artillery systems.
