About This Data
Methodology
All equipment losses are verified through visual evidence (photos/videos) using the Oryx methodology. Each destroyed, captured, abandoned, or damaged vehicle is catalogued with source documentation.
- ✓ Destroyed — completely non-functional
- ✓ Damaged — partial damage, may be repairable
- ✓ Captured — taken by opposing force
- ✓ Abandoned — left behind, status unknown
Important Notes
Actual losses are likely significantly higher than documented numbers. Visual confirmation depends on battlefield access, active documentation, and media availability.
- ⚠ Losses in occupied areas may be underreported
- ⚠ Small arms and individual weapons not tracked
- ⚠ Drones may be undercounted due to small size
- ⚠ Naval losses limited to confirmed sinkings
