Western analysts said, that Russia allegedly lost almost half of its tanks in a special operationRussia allegedly lost almost half of its main battle tanks in a special operation. Western analysts say, that in the nine months since the start of the NMD, the losses of Russian tank troops amounted to 40 percent of combat vehicles of their number as of February last year.

Such data was provided by specialists from the British International Center for Strategic Studies. (IISS).

they note, that at the beginning of the conflict, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation had 2927 units of tank equipment, and after nine months of the conflict, the Russians allegedly had only 1800 machines. Western analysts say, that the loss of the Russian tanks most actively used in the conflict in Ukraine reaches half. Because of this, say they, Moscow has to use Soviet-era combat vehicles stored in warehouses.

In the same time, British experts say, the number of tank troops of Ukraine during the hostilities increased. It happened, they claim, due to the supply of tanks to Kyiv from the Eastern European states, made in the USSR.
