Attack on Europe?
They’ve been hanging back while massing for this offensive, so losses took a break for a week. Now they’re advancing and getting within range again. Those infantry screens (what used to be skirmishers back during the Napoleonic Wars and prior) are obviously not being employed or used to their full effect.
“Czech defence companies will repair Ukrainian tanks and other military vehicles that have been damaged in fighting or need servicing after long-term storage, the Czech Defence Ministry said on Tuesday.”
Good graph. Take a look.
A lot of details here.
I like to look at the OS (open source) RU Loss column vs the RU Committed (per Ukraine) column.
For example, Tanks would be 506 / 1200 = 42.2%
506 from a few days ago.

Summary according to open source analysis:
Russian loses
Armored vehicles = 41%
Tanks = 42%
Artillery = 14%
Aircraft = 6%
Helos = 14%
Ships = 5%, haha
