I've compiled equipment loss numbers for the Battle of Kyiv west of the Dnipro River, something that hasn't been tabulated until now.
Below is a chart showing confirmed losses for each side. The "+" numbers indicate possible equipment losses that can't be 100% confirmed. https://twitter.com/naalsio26/status/1628793010291896322/photo/1

One of the notable changes Russian forces have made has been to provide the best equipment to these assault units, even though they aren't standard equipment. Wagner, VDV and naval infantry units have T-90M and T-80BVM tanks, BMPT, BMP-2M (for VDV), BMP-3, and greater artillery.

@RALee85:
Although Russia now has a large force, it depends heavily on more elite units to actually assault Ukrainian positions, including VDV, naval infantry, Wagner assault units, etc. which are a smaller share. Once those units take losses, Russia's offensive potential declines. https://t.co/4stYkNGwON

At IDEX2023, the Kalashnikov Concern showed new armor for BMP-3, which includes adaptations we've seen in Ukraine, including 4S24 side armor, added armor under Kontakt-5 ERA blocks, and Nakidka counter-thermal coats.

Just to emphasize again that Russian offensives depend heavily on these units to lead them and seize Ukrainian positions. If they sustain losses, it will take time to reconstitute them. Other units likely either lack the competency or motivation/cohesion to do so effectively.

@Blake_Allen13 I don't know the exact figure, but they are still producing T-90M, T-72B3M, and T-80BVM (though the latter two have different sights now). Probably enough for assault units, but not enough for the entire force.

What does this mean for the long-term table of organization and equipment for the Russian military? Not sure, but the weakness of Russian motorized rifle formations has made this change a necessity. I would assume VDV and naval infantry units will be even better armed afterwards.

This is an issue for Ukraine, too. They also rely on mobilized soldiers and don't have the opportunity to have entire battalions/brigades go through training evolutions. I would assume Ukraine will also provide their best units with the best equipment for the future offensives.
