Putin is inching closer to 20,000 verifiable losses

On November 19th, the Russian invasion of Ukraine hit its 1000th day of the war, and in all that time, Moscow has a lot of equipment according to one third-party open-source intelligence group.

Russian losses are all over the web

There are thousands of images and videos online showing the destruction that the Ukrainian Armed Forces have inflicted on Russia Vladimir Putin ordered the invasion of Ukraine in February 2022. Much of this data has been used to verify Moscow's losses.

Oryx has been tallying all the losses

The Dutch open-source intelligence firm Oryx has been analyzing image and video data to visually verify military equipment losses for both sides in the war, and on November 2oth it estimated verifiable Russian equipment losses were in the tens of thousands. 

Russia has lost over 16,000 units of equipment

Moscow has now lost 19,168 verified units of destroyed, damaged, abandoned, or captured military equipment since the beginning of the full-scale invasion of Ukraine was launched according to Oryx. This is a stunning number but likely still lower than Moscow's actual losses.

The figure is probably much higher

Oryx points out on its website that “the amount of equipment destroyed is significantly higher than recorded here” due to the fact that it only counts losses that can be verified through video or picture evidence. Let’s look at what’s been lost.
