On October 2, the Russian army lost another 1 150 soldiers killed and wounded, as well as military equipment.
This is reported by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.
So, last day the Defense Forces destroyed 6 Russian tanks, 17 armored combat vehicles, 37 artillery systems, 1 air defense vehicle, 43 operational-tactical drones, 58 vehicles and 12 units of special equipment.
The total estimated losses of the Russians since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, according to the General Staff, can be viewed in the infographic below:
Ukraine and Russia give almost no information about their losses in the war. Moscow officially last named the number of people killed in September 2022 — then they declared 5 937 dead. Kyiv did not do this for a long time, saying that the data would be disclosed after the war.
On February 25, 2024, for the first time since the beginning of the full-scale invasion, the President of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelensky declared the number of dead Ukrainian soldiers — 31 000. He did not name the number of wounded and missing.
- Today, the General Staff of the Armed Forces reported that the Defense Forces successfully hit the Russian “Nebo-M” radar system with ATACMS ballistic missiles. Its destruction significantly reduces the ability of the Russian army to detect, track and intercept aerodynamic and ballistic targets. This system is a very difficult object to defeat, the Russians have only 10 systems of this type left in operation, and the cost of each is over $100 million.
