Destruction of Russian military equipment in Ukraine
Throughout the war in Ukraine, Ukrainian military forces have been actively destroying Russian military equipment, including tanks, armored personnel carriers, artillery systems, infantry fighting vehicles, military trucks, and other means of warfare. This has been achieved through a combination of factors: high-precision weapons, modern reconnaissance systems, drones, and artillery.
According to Ukrainian and Western sources, the Russian equipment suffering the most losses includes T-72 and T-90 tanks, self-propelled artillery units, Grad and Uragan multiple launch rocket systems, and infantry fighting vehicles. The destruction of Russian ammunition and fuel depots also plays a significant role, further paralyzing the enemy's combat operations.
The use of drones, reconnaissance aircraft, and modern anti-tank systems such as Javelin and NLAW allows the Ukrainian military to hit targets at long range with high accuracy. This makes Russian equipment more vulnerable even when moving in columns or deploying in positions.
Thus, the systematic destruction of military equipment is a key factor in deterring Russia's offensive operations and strengthening Ukraine's defense capabilities.
