Dreamy Shoig's Mathematics: Russian Defense Minister again Nafantasized the losses of the Armed Forces

The Russian military command has traditionally lied to the loss of defense forces of Ukraine. However, their calculations differ significantly with the data of extraneous observers. Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu regularly dreams of heavy losses of the Armed Forces in equipment and personnel. Thus, in the current month, according to him, the Ukrainian army lost more than 17 thousand military and more than 2. 7 thousand units of military equipment, writes the Russian news agency "RIA Novosti".

The allegedly lost shoiga's weapons called the Bradley BMP, two German Leopard tanks and one Challenger. However, according to the independent analytical project of Oryx, which is calculated on the basis of photos or video docas, the Defense forces of Ukraine have lost 4 493 units of equipment for the entire time from the beginning of the full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation. Moreover, some of the machines are not destroyed, but damaged and subject to repair.

Thus, according to Oryx, from February 24, 2022 to September 26, 2023, Russian troops managed to destroy 3 034 units of equipment, seize 958, and damage 345. The abandoned 156 units of Ukrainian equipment were recorded. "Western equipment demonstrates a high level of defense, in particular the Russian Armed Forces damaged the Stridsvagn tank (Leopard 2a5), which was handed over by Sweden. The Swedish BMP CV9040 and the American Mrap Maxxpro BMP were damaged.

The numbers in Oryx as of September 24 were cited. At the same time, the losses of the Russian Federation in Ukraine continue to grow rapidly, and in the near future you can expect another record, as emphasized by the military-political observer of the group "Information resistance" Alexander Kovalenko. At the same time, the Russian military command has been hiding the official number of dead and wounded for more than a year and provides distorted data on the loss of personnel and equipment.

So he uses to mask the true state of affairs, such as an artificial hyper exceeding of Ukrainian losses. The ISW analysts noted that at the end of spring, Shoiga even specifically awarded the Russian occupiers for the declared "successes".

However, it became known that the Ministry of Labor and Social Development of the Russian Federation ordered 230,000 certificates in September this year for fallen veterans of hostilities, which may testify to Russia's understanding of the scale of the Russian army in the Russian-Ukrainian war. Researchers of the Russian BBC Service together with the media of "Mediazon" as of September 15, 2023 by name were established by open sources of 32 164 dead Russian military.

This list does not include the soldiers of the so -called "DNR" and "LNR", which are allegedly at least 11,500. However, these estimates can be at least twice less than the number of military officials officially buried in Russia. According to the General Staff of the Armed Forces and foreign intelligence, the loss of Russian invaders is much higher.

We will remind, Focus wrote that, according to the commander of the operational-strategic group of Tavriya troops, the brigade General Alexander Tarnavsky, only in the Tavriya direction for the last day of the Armed Forces of the Armed Forces was liquidated five warehouses, 35 units of equipment, and the losses in the personnel were 190. military.

In addition, Focus noted that analysts of the American Institute for War Study (ISW) reported a significant increase in the loss of the Russian army in the Zaporozhye direction. Focus reported on September 25 that Russian troops lost dozens of equipment, including the homemade HSV "Ogon" on the basis of MT-LB. Most Ukrainian troops have knocked out armored vehicles and artillery. In total, 24 pieces of equipment were destroyed and damaged by MT-LB, BMP-1, 2, 3, as well as APCs and Tiger-M armor.
