Overall Loss Ratios (Russia : Ukraine)
Technology Impact on Losses
How different weapon systems and technologies have affected equipment attrition.
FPV Drones
RevolutionaryCheap ($400-2000) first-person-view drones have become primary tank killers. Changed armor doctrine fundamentally.
Lancet Loitering Munitions
SignificantRussian Lancet drones effectively targeting Ukrainian artillery and air defense from 40km range.
HIMARS/GMLRS
MajorPrecision strikes on ammunition depots, command posts, and logistics dramatically reduced Russian capability.
Naval Drones
TransformativeUkrainian uncrewed surface vessels have neutralized Russian Black Sea naval advantage.

ATACMS
SignificantLong-range tactical missiles enabling strikes on rear areas, airbases, Crimea.
Data Sources & Methodology
How equipment losses are verified and counted.
Visual Confirmation
Every loss requires photographic or video evidence. This means actual losses are likely 30-50% higher than confirmed counts.
OSINT Community
Data compiled by Oryx project, WarSpotting, and other open-source intelligence trackers who document each loss individually.
Limitations
Some losses undocumented. Russian-controlled areas less visible. Repaired equipment may be counted as destroyed. Categories may overlap.
