Since the beginning of the year, the Defense Forces have hit more than 3,000 tanks of the Russian Federation

As reported by the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine, a particularly successful day was May 12, which the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine called "the day of the tankman" for the Russian army, when an entire tank battalion — 31 tanks — was hit.

According to estimates, such losses can cost Russia about 9 billion dollars, based on the average world prices for armored vehicles.
