"Ukraine Turns Tide Against Russian Tanks Using Captured Tech Amidst Repeated Assault Failures"
Ukraine's military claims that Russia has lost over 6,000 tanks since the beginning of the conflict in February 2022, with recent figures indicating significant losses of armored vehicles around the town of Avdiivka. While these numbers have not been independently verified and are likely conservative estimates, they reflect the heavy toll on Russian military equipment, including the use of outdated tanks and the withdrawal of the advanced T-14 Armata from the conflict. The war has also affected Ukraine's tank fleet, which has been bolstered by Western-supplied armored vehicles.
