Compared to last week.
+1850 Troops
+5 Planes
+97 Tanks
+3 Helicopters
+245 personnel carriers (APV)
+54 Artillery
+4 Boats/cutters
+33 MLRS
+7 Anti-aircraft
+106 UAV
+3 Special equipment
+146 Vehicles/fuel tanks (now combined)
+10 Cruise missiles (new)
Key takeaways:
The number of planes and helicopters losses by Russia is significantly down but, given the information we have, it is only for the fact Ukrainian are so good at shooting them down that Russia aren't using them anymore.
The number of Tanks and personnel carriers are also down but mitigated by an increase in vehicles and, more importantly, MLRS.
All in all the Ukrainian defense continue to be strong and inflict significant losses to Russia who have very little to show for more than 2 months in.
