Russian equipment losses
Russia - 2961, of which: destroyed: 1571, damaged: 44, abandoned: 239, captured: 1107
Ukraine equipment losses
Ukraine - 823, of which: destroyed: 383, damaged: 22, abandoned: 35, captured: 383
Its interesting that the official Ukrainian MOD count of destroyed/captured Russian tanks is npw only about 50% over Oryx’s documented count. That suggests that the Ukrainian count is probably quite accurate.
Both counts are likely to get less accurate as the fight becomes one over more static lines, with fewer opportunities to take pictures of Russian losses.
