Ukrainian Military Reports 1,170 Russian Troops Eliminated in Past Day.
Total Combat Losses of the Russian Army
According to TSN.ua: The Ukrainian Armed Forces have eliminated a total of 1,229,740 Russian military personnel since the full-scale invasion began. The General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces released updated figures on January 21, reporting that 1,170 Russian troops were destroyed in the past 24 hours alone. These figures are a key metric tracked by Western intelligence agencies to assess the war's progression.
The cumulative combat losses of the Russian army include:
- 1,229,740 personnel (+1,170)
- 11,587 tanks (+8)
- 23,938 armored combat vehicles (+10)
- 36,463 artillery systems (+70)
- 1,621 multiple launch rocket systems (+3)
- 1,279 air defense units
- 434 aircraft
- 347 helicopters
- 112,159 operational-tactical level UAVs (+1,019)
- 4,190 cruise missiles (+27)
- 28 ships/boats
- 2 submarines
- 75,238 vehicles and fuel tankers (+171)
- 4,049 units of special equipment (+1)
In a related development, the Russian command has reportedly dismissed General Sukhrab Akhmedov, a move that may signal a restructuring of military leadership amid these significant losses.
Conclusions
The scale of these losses underscores the intensity of the fighting and the defensive effectiveness of Ukrainian forces. The high attrition rate of personnel and equipment points to a challenging operational situation for the Russian army, which could impact its capacity for sustained offensive actions. The removal of a senior general also suggests potential shifts in strategy and command, likely in response to the mounting pressure from Ukrainian defenses.
