Putin's War: So Much Equipment Has Been Lost .... April 27, 2022

From the Daily Mail.

Russia’s military has lost so much equipment in Ukraine it will be incapable of fighting another war for "years," analysts claim. 

Putin's failing war in Ukraine has seen Russia lose years' worth of kit, experts say. 

That includes

  • 939 tanks;
  • 185 planes;
  • 155 helicopters; and,
  • 421 artillery.

In addition, in Kyiv, Russian army supplies are getting low and "it will take years for Russia to rebuild."

US analyst Soviet-era reserves including tanks remain - but it's unclear if they still work. 

Embarrassing sinking of Black Sea flagship the Moskva prompted fury in Russia.

In addition, sanctions on Russia will severely limit technology needed to re-build their military.  

Personnel losses:

  • 22,400, up from 22,100 day prior;

Number of Russian soldiers now estimated to seize and control entire country: one million. Number of soldiers at time of invasion: one-fourth of that, at 280,000.
