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