Just in case anyone is wondering about the high daily "vehicles & fuel tank" numbers, these are actually motorbikes. The Russian strategy has been changed to using motorbikes with 1-2 men that drive into the Ukranian defences. Ukranian drones have a hard time now as motorbikes are very agile, unlike trucks and AFVs. Also if a drone operator sees a dozen or more motorbikes approaching fast, what can he do?
While Russian losses are considered high, the tactic seems to work as the Ukranian defense lines in the East are faltering due to lack of equipment and munition.

ruzzians using poorly maintained motorbikes has been a tactic they have been using for well over a year, and it has been hilarious seeing so many getting blown up by drones who are far more agile than bikes in fields who can't manoeuvre nearly as well as they would on a road.  

Like a lot of russian solutions to problems, the motorcycle calvary are always poorly implemented
