ARTICLE The Russians Have Lost So Many Vehicles Around Krynky, They’ve Assigned A Tank Regiment To Fetch The Wrecks David Axe Forbes Jan 13, 2024,06:10pm EST https://www.forbes.com/sites/davidaxe/2024/01/13/the-russians-have-lost-so-many-vehicles-around-krynky-theyve-assigned-a-tank-regiment-to-fetch-the-wrecks/?sh=5df5712d330c In mid-2023 the Kremlin organized a new field army around the 70th Mechanized Division by combining three mechanized regiments—the 24th, 26th and 28th—with an artillery brigade and the 17th Tank Regiment. A couple of months later in September, the new 18th Combined Arms Army deployed to the front line on the left bank of the Dnipro River in southern Ukraine’s Kherson Oblast. It was just in time to meet the Ukrainian 35th Marine Brigade as it motored across the Dnipro and secured a bridgehead in Krynky on the Russian-controlled left bank. Now the 17th Regiment is responsible for retrieving the scores of vehicles the Russians have lost while trying, and failing, to dislodge the marines from Krynky. “The 17th Tank Regiment of the 70th Motorized Rifle Division has been trying for two weeks to evacuate damaged and inoperable armored vehicles from the active combat zone in the Krynky area,” the Ukrainian Center for Defense Strategies noted, adding that the regiment is focusing its efforts north of the T2206 road, which threads east to west two miles south of Krynky. That a whole tank battalion with potentially tens of T-90 tanks apparently is dedicated to the recovery task speaks to the intensity of Russian losses around Krynky. In three months of failed counterattacks through Ukrainian drone and artillery kill-zones, and across mines that the drones drop at night, the 18th CAA and other formations in Kherson have lost at least 163 tanks, fighting vehicles, howitzers, rocket-launchers and trucks. Ukrainian forces have lost just 33 vehicles, mostly on the Dnipro’s right bank.

In mid-2023 the Kremlin organized a new field army around the 70th Mechanized Division by combining three mechanized regiments—the 24th, 26th and 28th—with an artillery brigade and the 17th Tank Regiment.
A couple of months later in September, the new 18th Combined Arms Army deployed to the front line on the left bank of the Dnipro River in southern Ukraine’s Kherson Oblast.
It was just in time to meet the Ukrainian 35th Marine Brigade as it motored across the Dnipro and secured a bridgehead in Krynky on the Russian-controlled left bank.
Now the 17th Regiment is responsible for retrieving the scores of vehicles the Russians have lost while trying, and failing, to dislodge the marines from Krynky.
“The 17th Tank Regiment of the 70th Motorized Rifle Division has been trying for two weeks to evacuate damaged and inoperable armored vehicles from the active combat zone in the Krynky area,” the Ukrainian Center for Defense Strategies noted, adding that the regiment is focusing its efforts north of the T2206 road, which threads east to west two miles south of Krynky.
