 Russian Army suffered the loss of more than 7,000 tanks and armored combat vehicles since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, British Intelligence reported in its daily update on the Russian-Ukrainian War, from February 24, 2022 to January 25, 2024. Russian ground forces likely lost approximately 2,600 main battle tanks and 4,900 other armored combat vehicles in Ukraine. British Intelligence reported.AT the same time, Russian losses of tanks and armored vehicles decreased last year compared to the first year of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russian ground forces lost around 40 percent fewer vehicles in 2023 than in 2022. According to British Intelligence, it is highly likely that the reduction in armored vehicle attrition rates was due to the increasingly positional nature of the conflict in 2023 and because Russia spent a significant proportion of the year in a defensive posture, British Intelligence's update stated. Since October 2023, when Russian ground forces have been on the offensive in eastern Ukraine, Russian armored vehicle losses skyrocketed, according to British Intel. Over the past four months, Russian ground forces have likely lost up to 365 main battle tanks and 700 armored combat vehicles but achieved minor territorial gains, British Intelligence reported.
