"Russia's Tank Losses in Ukraine Conflict and the Impact on Military Capability"

Russia has lost more tanks in Ukraine than it had operational before the full-scale invasion, with approximately 1,120 tanks and 2,000 armored vehicles lost in the past year. The International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) reported that Russia's battlefield tank losses now likely exceed 3,000, surpassing the number it had at the start of the invasion. Despite sustaining significant losses, Russia has been able to replenish its tank fleet with lower-quality vehicles and has increased domestic tank production. Ukraine's tank fleet has received Western aid, including NATO-standard tanks, and has maintained its pre-war levels of main battle tanks.
