In August 2023 russia lost 691 artillery systems, setting a new record for the war. This narrowly eclipses the losses of June and July (688 and 677, respectively).
And the number of lost vehicles and fuel tanks (685) is only second to March 2022.
Additionally, russia suffered losses of APCs (408) and tanks (685) not seen since October 2022.
The diagrams are all created by me for this subreddit directly from the data provided in the daily updates of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
Why keep count? Murdering innocents is okay or it isn’t. Putin is insane. Or, he isn’t.
These huge arty losses have surely got to be having an effect? Even Russia don’t have a limitless stock of artillery pieces, and particularly modern self-propelled ones. Just hope N Korea doesn’t sell thousands to Russia… Keep it up Ukraine and eventually this will change the tide of war.
And not to belabor the point, but this is primarily an artillery war. Meanwhile, superior western guns continue to arrive in Ukraine.

Does T55 counts as SPG or tanks?
Good.
Perfect, but still a long way to finish
