   Here’s the main site where they post cumulative totals. As a reminder, Oryx is a service which requires actual geo located evidence of destruction or capture, and each item added to their tabulations. By their own admission, actual numbers for lost vehicles is 10-20% higher (More for artillery), as no opportunity exists to confirm many destroyed unit beyond the conflict line.

   Breakdown by tank type

3. That’s a lot

4. If you think about it. Thats a large number

5. We know that Oryx under reports so the true loss of russian tanks is a lot higher. Even these confirmed numbers are crazy and prove that russia is really struggling.

6. Russia’s lost more tanks in Ukraine than the number of US troops who died in Afghanistan.

7. it’s crazy to think that, in 2022, ukraine will be considered the 22nd army in the world (according to its index of military and economic power), and that it has achieved the feat of keeping the world’s second-largest power at bay and defeating it militarily. (Russia has failed to achieve its military objectives, taking Kyiv for example).

   and even today it continues to inflict heavy losses on the opposing army,
   i have great respect for the men and women fighting in ukraine o7

8. That comes at the same time as multiple days of no more than one or two lost tanks and infantry vehicles on Ukraine’s official tally, which is far more lax than Oryx as to what counts, and shows an intentional decision to preserve what’s left for a particular purpose, made at the strategic level.

9. I cant wait to start seeing Russia deploy the t26s 🤣
