Record Russian Vehicle Losses in February
February witnessed the highest monthly destruction of Russian military vehicles since the invasion began, with Ukrainian forces eliminating over 3,472 vehicles and fuel tanks, along with hundreds of armored vehicles and tanks. Despite a decrease in ground combat engagements compared to January, Russian air strikes significantly increased. Heavy Russian losses, including an estimated 36,570 troops in February alone, suggest a high cost for minimal territorial gains in eastern Ukraine. This escalating equipment and personnel depletion has reportedly forced Russia to resort to using less protective equipment and civilian vehicles.
