Over the same period, Ukrainian forces also destroyed one multiple launch rocket system, three air defense systems, 12 ground robotic platforms, 16 armored combat vehicles, 1,979 tactical drones, three cruise missiles, 580 military vehicles and fuel tankers, and four pieces of special equipment.

According to the updated figures, Russia’s cumulative equipment losses now stand at 12,088 tanks, 24,894 armored combat vehicles, 45,451 artillery systems, 1,917 multiple launch rocket systems, 1,473 air defense systems, 436 aircraft, 353 helicopters, 1,833 ground robotic systems, 392,717 operational-tactical drones, 4,850 cruise missiles, 33 warships and boats, two submarines, 116,686 vehicles and fuel tankers, and 4,389 units of special equipment.

Ukraine’s General Staff also reported that 256 combat clashes were recorded along the front line over the past day.

Earlier reports suggested that newly deployed Russian troops often survive only 20 to 35 minutes after reaching frontline positions, with Ukrainian drone strikes cited as the primary cause of the high casualty rate.

According to those assessments, a newly recruited Russian serviceman typically survives between 10 days and three weeks from the time he arrives at a training facility until he is killed in combat. Many recruits are reportedly given only a few days of training before being deployed to the battlefield.
