According to British intelligence, from February 2022 to January 2023, Russia probably lost about 2,600 main battle tanks and 4,900 other armored vehicles in Ukraine. In 2023, Russia lost about 40% fewer armored vehicles than in 2022, likely due to more defensive positioning and the increasingly positional nature of the war.

Due to the fact that the occupiers spent a significant part of 2023 in a defensive position, the Russian Armed Forces lost about 40% less equipment than in the previous year.

This is reported by UNN with reference to the data of the Ministry of Defense of the United Kingdom.

Between February 24, 2022 and January 25, 2024, the Russian Ground Forces (RF Ground Forces) likely lost approximately 2,600 main battle tanks (MBTs) and 4,900 other armored combat vehicles (ACVs) in Ukraine. In 2023, the Ground Forces probably lost about 40% less equipment than in 2022.

The British military suggests that the reduction in armored vehicle losses among the Russian invaders was due to the increased positional nature of the war in 2023, as well as the fact that Russia spent a significant part of the year in a defensive position.

The report also indicates that in early October 2023, the Russian Armed Forces launched an offensive in eastern Ukraine, and that Russian armor losses have increased during this period.

At the same time, it is pointed out that Russia can probably produce at least 100 units of armored vehicles per month, and thus retains the ability to replenish losses on the battlefield and continue offensive activity at this level for the foreseeable future.
