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.
