The information comes from the Ukrainian side and is not confirmed by Russia. According to an adviser to the Ukrainian Ministry of Internal Affairs, during the three months of the war, the army destroyed more than 30% of the modern tanks of the Russians. The statements are from Viktor Andrusiv, to Channel 24.
“Before the war, Russia had about 3,000 modern tanks in its arsenal, and more than 30% have already been destroyed by our defenders in three months of war. In 6 months, that number will only increase,” said Andrusiv.
In the latest balance of Russian losses in the war, Ukraine claims that during the invasion of Moscow it has already lost 1,330 tanks, 174 helicopters and 207 planes. 503 UAV (unmanned aerial vehicle) will have been shot down.
On the other hand, the minister’s adviser argued that the destruction of the most modern vehicles led Russia to resort to the old Soviet T-62 tanks who are over fifty years old. There are reports of sightings in the Kherson and Mykolaiv region.
Andrusiv believes that, with the loss of military equipment, Moscow will choose to send T-34 tanks, produced in the 1940-1958 period, to the field. These, he considered he, they have little mobility and are made of obsolete materials and parts.
