Hola, iam Martha King, I hope your day is as beautiful as your smile.
Whoa, talk about a major blow to Russia! It looks like they’ve lost some serious tanks in the process. I mean, it’s not every day you hear about a country losing such powerful military equipment. It’s definitely a huge setback for them and could have far-reaching consequences. Let’s take a closer look at what happened and why this is such an issue.
How Many Tanks Has Russia Lost? [Solved]
Wow, that’s a lot! The AFU have really done a number on the Russian tanks - 2892 of ’em gone! It’s almost double what Oryx reported.
Invasion of Poland: In 1939, the Soviet Union invaded Poland in an effort to expand its territory and influence. This invasion resulted in the loss of thousands of tanks for the Russians.
Battle of Kursk: During World War II, the Battle of Kursk was a major battle between German and Soviet forces that took place in 1943. The Soviets lost over 4,000 tanks during this battle, which was a major setback for them.
Operation Barbarossa: In 1941, Germany launched Operation Barbarossa against the Soviet Union with the goal of conquering it. The Soviets lost thousands of tanks during this operation as they were unable to effectively counter German advances.
Chechen War: During the Chechen War (1994-1996), Russian forces suffered heavy losses due to their outdated equipment and tactics used against Chechen rebels who had superior knowledge of local terrain and guerrilla warfare tactics. As a result, Russia lost hundreds of tanks during this conflict.
Russo-Georgian War: In 2008, Russia invaded Georgia in an effort to gain control over two breakaway regions within Georgia’s borders - South Ossetia and Abkhazia - resulting in heavy losses for both sides including hundreds of Russian tanks destroyed or damaged by Georgian forces using anti-tank weapons such as RPG-7s and ATGMs (anti-tank guided missiles).
Russia lost a lot of tanks in the past, which is pretty shocking. I mean, who would’ve thought? It’s a real bummer. Still, it’s not like they’re out of the game completely - they still have plenty of firepower.
