  1. For the people who ask questions like “surely this can’t be accurate” or “if Russia has lost so much then why haven’t they run out?” Consider the following:

    In the battle of Kursk in WWII Stalin sent 5200 tanks into the area and tens of thousands of artillery guns and mortars. Ukrainian forces are currently in Kursk today so where are the thousands of Russian tanks? Where are the tens of thousands of mortars? Why isn’t Putin doing the same thing Stalin did?

    The answer is simple. Russia HAD thousands of tanks and tens of thousands of guns and mortars but they’re now rotting in Ukrainian fields. Yes Russia still does have a lot of stuff but not infinite stuff and one of the reasons they haven’t taken a major Ukrainian city in so long is because they’ve sustained such heavy losses. Are they going to totally run out of any weapon type soon? No. Have these losses impacted them and prevented them from winning, taking objectives or counterattacking Ukrainian incursions? Yes. Could Ukraine inflict even larger losses with more aid? Yes.

  2. Before the war it was estimated that Russia had:
    10,500 tanks
    19,000 artillery
    This was both in active use and in storage. Yes, they’ve made some since but not much. It’s also pretty well believed that the formula to follow is 1:1 deaths on the front line and deaths of the wounded on the back due to no or low quality medical.
    Russia IS running out of equipment and the only thing left will be poorly trained or non trained men.

  3. On the front lines, the number of Russian army attacks has not decreased. Activity of the air force and artillery has risen slightly.

    – On the Kursk front, Ukrainian forces maintain pressure on Russian army positions, and the initiative remains with the Ukrainian forces. Since August 6, the Russian army has not been able to establish an effective defense. As a result of the Kursk operation, the Russian army is forced to strengthen border defenses in other regions bordering Ukraine, which certainly does not support the Russian military command’s offensive plans in Donbass.

    – On the Kharkiv front, Russian army attacks are not active, and positional battles are mainly taking place on the northern edge of Vovtchansk.
    – The activity of Russian army attacks has increased toward the city of Kupiansk. There are reports that the Russian army has managed to gain control of Sinkovka village, although the capture of this village by the Russian army has been reported multiple times before. On the Luhansk front, the offensive was very intense yesterday but yielded no results. Russian army activity also increased slightly on the Siversk front, but no changes in troop placements were reported.

    – On the Bakhmut front, less intense battles continue, and reports of Russian troop advancements have not been confirmed. The intensity of the Russian army’s offensive on the Toretsk front is not as high as it was in August. There are conflicting reports of minor advancements by the Russian army. Ukrainian forces advanced in the New York settlement in recent days, reducing the threat to the city of Toretsk from the south. Overall, the situation remains the same.

    – From the Pokrovsk direction, there are snippets of information that the Ukrainian military command has brought reserves into the area and is conducting counterattacks. However, Russian army attacks on this front were very active, and there are reports of minor improvements in positions. Russian army attacks from Donetsk westward and southwestward to the city of Vuhledar are equally active. There were no significant advancements by Russian units.

    – On the southern front, the Russian army is passive. Attacks are more active on the east bank of the Dnipro and in the delta islands area. In recent days, the Russian army has managed to establish some new positions on the islands.
