Minus 236 tanks. As Russia suffered a record loss since early October

In half a month, Russia lost as many tanks on the Ukrainian fronts as it did not lose last November. Military expert Alexander Kovalenko explains why this is happening right now. The first half of October ended. And on this occasion, it is appropriate to conduct a preliminary review of the losses of Russian equipment in Ukraine.

I would like to point out that I have a skepticism that this month will record a new record of destroyed Russian equipment, but the fact that there will be many other and third results - yes. And immediately I would like to pay attention to the indicator destroyed in the first half of October of Russian tanks - 263.

The number of losses of the VTT is due to the fact that the Russians have restored irrational offensive actions, and tanks in their units are about as much as BBM, although the latter should be at least at least. 3 times more. Such an imbalance is caused by a deficiency of BBM in the troops due to the lack of technical and technological possibility of Russia's MFC in a timely manner to compensate for the loss of this type of equipment.

It was for this reason that the use of tanks in the first echelon in the offensive, not by their main functionality, but as BBM clips, in the first half of October the OBT was destroyed by the largest number since November 2022. And this is only half a month . . . respectively, BBM also demonstrates the increase in losses - 394. It can be said that similar to the tanks, since November 2022 the largest number was destroyed (except in August 2023 - 408). Artillery.

This month, it is unlikely that artillery will be a record by reducing the intensity of its use by Russian troops and, as a consequence, limiting the possibilities of counter -battery struggle. However, the second result is more than guaranteed. Motor transport. The indicator of destroyed vehicles for the first half of October is 388. It is unlikely to be a record in a month, but the second or third result for the entire period of a full -scale war is yes.
