• Tanks: 11,596 units
• Armored Combat Vehicles: 23,943
• Artillery Systems: 36,516
• Multiple Launch Rocket Systems (MLRS): 1,623

In the past year alone, Russia lost approximately 415,000 troops killed or wounded, bringing its total casualties to roughly 1,213,000 personnel. These staggering figures highlight the immense human and material cost of the conflict for Moscow. The scale of these losses is unprecedented for Russia in a conflict since World War II.

The data underscores the protracted nature of the conflict and its profound impact on Russian military resources, which could have strategic implications for the future course of hostilities. The severe depletion of both manpower and equipment may degrade the army's combat effectiveness, limiting Russia's capacity to conduct large-scale military operations going forward. The acknowledgment of such heavy losses could also influence domestic politics and public opinion within Russia, potentially leading to shifts in its approach to waging the war.
