The largest share of the estimated financial losses came from unmanned aerial systems, with 2,103 operational and tactical-level drones reported destroyed. Ukrainian estimates valued those drone losses at approximately $187.2 million.

The data also showed the destruction of 382 military vehicles and fuel transport assets, which Ukrainian authorities estimated at nearly $57 million. In addition, Ukrainian forces reported neutralizing seven ground robotic systems and four pieces of specialized military equipment.

The figures come as Ukraine continues to expand long-range strikes against Russian logistics networks under the military’s “Logistic Lockdown” campaign.

According to recent statements by Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces of Ukraine Oleksandr Syrskyi, Ukrainian forces have increasingly targeted supply routes, ammunition depots, command centers, and transport infrastructure supporting Russian operations behind the front line.

Ukrainian strikes have placed several key Russian supply corridors under pressure, including routes in the temporarily occupied parts of the Luhansk region and transport links connecting Berdyansk, Melitopol, and Dzhankoi. Ukrainian forces have also recently targeted the Chonhar Bridge, one of the key routes linking occupied Crimea with Russian-held territories in southern Ukraine.
