💢England defence ministry: From 24 February 2022 to 25 January 2024, Russian Ground Forces (RGF) likely lost approximately 2,600 Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) and 4,900 other Armoured Combat Vehicles (ACVs) in Ukraine. RGF probably lost around 40% fewer vehicles in 2023 than in 2022. It is highly likely that the reduction in armoured vehicle attrition rates was due to the increasingly positional nature of the conflict in 2023 and because Russia spent a significant proportion of the year in a defensive posture. Since early October 2023, RGF have been on the offensive in eastern Ukraine. During this period, Russian armoured vehicle losses have increased and the RGF have likely lost up to 365 MBTs and 700 ACVs but only achieved minor territorial gains. However, Russia can probably generate at least 100 MBTs a month and therefore retains the capacity to replace battlefield losses and continue this level of offensive activity for the foreseeable future.
💢Russian defense ministry: Ukranian armed forces lost 568 airplanes and 265 helicopters, 11,345 unmanned aerial vehicles, 456 air defence missile systems, 14,817 tanks and other armoured fighting vehicles, 1,211 combat vehicles equipped with MLRS, 7,892 field artillery cannons and mortars, also 18,007 units of special military equipment during the special military operation
