Key figures on Russian tank losses
According to data, since 2025, in this year alone, the Armed Forces of Ukraine have already "hit/destroyed" 1,159 Russian tanks.
In 2024, tank losses were very high — the Armed Forces of Ukraine consistently "worked through" Russian tank units. In 2024, according to various sources, the Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed or disabled approximately 3,689 Russian tanks.
However, according to some analysts, the rate of losses slowed down in 2025: Russia is less likely to deploy tanks in combat, often replacing them with lighter armored vehicles or armored cars. This may be a response to the fact that tanks have become easy targets for drones, artillery, and air defense systems, so Russia is "saving" its armor.
