Wolski's analysis: Russian tank losses alarming yet replenishable
Jarosław Wolski is a well-known and respected military analyst, frequently discussing the war events in Ukraine. He has recently estimated the number of tanks Russia may have lost in the conflict and their production capabilities. This analysis raises concerns for NATO.
In February, the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) disclosed that since the start of the war in Ukraine, the Russian military had faced the loss of over 3,000 tanks and 5,600 armoured vehicles and infantry fighting vehicles.
The total losses in 2023 amounted to around 1,120 tanks, approximately 2,000 armoured vehicles, and infantry fighting vehicles. These figures are lower than in previous years, which experts attribute to the changing dynamics on the battlefield and strategies employed by the conflicting parties.
The reputable expert Jarosław Wolski has taken a closer look at the situation and is known for his reliance on solid data over propaganda.
