High losses of Russian equipment: tactical success of the Armed Forces of Ukraine
The Armed Forces of Ukraine destroyed tens of thousands of pieces of Russian equipment — tanks, armored vehicles, artillery, drones, and aircraft. This significantly reduced Russia's offensive capabilities and complicated its logistics on the front lines.
High efficiency was ensured by the use of modern Western weapons (HIMARS, M777, NASAMS) and drones, which increased the accuracy of strikes and reduced own losses.
Counterattacks and mobile tactics by the Armed Forces of Ukraine allow them to destroy enemy equipment on the front lines, blocking their advance. High losses of equipment and manpower negatively affect the morale and organization of Russian units. The Russian Federation is forced to deploy reserves, often less combat-ready or outdated, which increases the risks for them.
Ukraine has strengthened its defense capabilities and controls key areas of the front line. The destruction of Russian equipment is not only a tactical success, but also a factor that significantly affects the enemy's long-term combat capabilities.
