Detailing other extensive Russian losses, Mr Heappey said Russia has lost thousands of military vehicles, naval vessels, and equipment, in a massive resource drain. “We also estimate that over 7,117 Russian armoured vehicles, including nearly 2,475 main battle tanks, 93 fixed wing aircraft, 132 helicopters, 320 unmanned aerial vehicles, 16 naval vessels of all classes, and over 1,300 artillery systems of all types have been destroyed since the start of the conflict,” he said. “Russia have utilised several PMCs and volunteer units in Ukraine to augment Russian military forces, but the deaths of personnel from these organisations are not reflected in Russian official military death tolls.” The Wagner group, one of Russia’s most prominent PMCs, had been deployed in some of the bloodiest battles in Ukraine.
