Russian forces lost another 1,140 troops and 57 artillery systems over the past 24 hours, Ukraine’s General Staff reported on July 2.

According to the latest figures, Russia’s total estimated personnel losses since the start of the full-scale invasion on February 24, 2022, have reached approximately 1,405,900.

Ukraine’s military also reported the destruction of five armored combat vehicles, seven multiple launch rocket systems, nine ground robotic systems, 2,123 operational-tactical UAVs, one cruise missile, 353 vehicles and fuel tankers, and seven pieces of special equipment over the past day.

Overall Russian losses reported by Ukraine now include 12,069 tanks, 24,861 armored combat vehicles, 45,168 artillery systems, 1,910 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,459 air defense systems, 436 aircraft, 353 helicopters, 1,791 ground robotic systems, 385,190 operational-tactical UAVs, 4,798 cruise missiles, 33 ships and boats, two submarines, 114,852 vehicles and fuel tankers, and 4,376 pieces of special equipment.

Ukraine’s General Staff said 259 combat engagements were recorded along the front line over the past day.

Previous reports indicated that Russian recruits may survive only 20 to 35 minutes after reaching combat positions, with drones now the main reason for the extreme casualty rate.

A newly enlisted Russian soldier can expect to survive anywhere from 10 days to three weeks from arrival at a training ground to death in combat. Many recruits reportedly receive only a few days of preparation before being sent to the front.
