The actual number of equipment destroyed in the war far exceeded the recorded number.
Since the beginning of the massive invasion of Ukraine, Russia has lost at least 5,083 pieces of military equipment. This was stated on Sunday, August 7, in the data of the international research group Oryx, which calculated the destroyed and captured military equipment in Russia’s war against Ukraine based on photos and videos published on the Web.
So, on August 7, photos of 3,238 units of destroyed Russian equipment, 109 damaged, and 326 “abandoned” units were published. Another 1410 units of military equipment of the Russian army were acquired by the Ukrainian military.
“The technique classified as “abandoned” was probably then taken over or destroyed,” experts said.
It is also documented that the armed forces of the aggressor country have already lost 929 tanks, of which 565 were destroyed, 35 were damaged, 49 were “abandoned.” Another 280 tanks were acquired by the Ukrainian military.
Russia also recorded the loss of 518 armored combat vehicles, more than a thousand infantry fighting vehicles, more than 140 armored personnel carriers, 32 armored vehicles with mine protection.
In addition, the Russians confirmed the loss of 14 heavy mortars, 74 towed artillery units, 152 self-propelled artillery mounts and 94 multiple launch rocket systems (MLRS).
37 Russian aircraft destroyed (one more damaged) and 49 helicopters lost were documented. Also, the Russian army has already lost 104 drones, of which 54 were destroyed and 50 were captured.
The losses of the Russian Navy were recorded – 11 ships (8 destroyed, 3 damaged).
Specialists of the research group emphasize that the published list includes only vehicles and systems for which there are photos or videos, therefore “the actual amount of equipment destroyed in the war greatly exceeds recorded by the group.”
It should be noted that in the past day, the Armed Forces of Ukraine liquidated about 300 more invaders. At the same time, the enemy suffered the greatest losses in the direction of Donetsk.
