What is known about the insane losses of the Russian army during July
According to military-political analyst Oleksandr Kovalenko, the criminal army of the Russian Federation has advanced 21 km in the direction of Pokrovsk in Donetsk region over the past year, suffering huge losses in manpower and military equipment.
According to him, only during July the losses of the Russian occupiers amounted to 35,680 soldiers.
There is a very high rate of losses of barrel artillery — 1,520 units. This is an absolute record for the loss of artillery, which indicates the high level of counter-battery combat implemented by the Defense Forces. There is a very high rate of loss of road transport — 2 thousand 103 units. This is due to the fact that Russians are starting to use armored vehicles less and less, and move around on civilian vehicles — "loaves", UAZs, autos, golf carts and even motorcycles, Kovalenko emphasizes.
The analyst added that the Russian occupiers are currently facing the problem of an acute shortage of armored vehicles.
In particular, during July, according to him, the enemy lost 265 units of special equipment alone.
Kovalenko noted that, in fact, the engineer troops of the Russian occupiers have already ceased to exist.
In addition, the analyst added that during July, the Ukrainian military destroyed 33 units of enemy air defense systems.
