British intelligence reveals daily equipment loss of Russian army in Ukraine

British intelligence has reported that the Russian soldiers serving in Ukraine are likely frustrated that they are forced to serve in old infantry combat vehicles which they describe as aluminium cans.

In mid-October, in the face of Ukrainian offensives, Russian armoured vehicle losses increased to over 40 a day: roughly equivalent to a battalion’s worth of equipment, according to the intel data, Caliber.Az reports.

"In recent weeks Russia has likely resorted to acquiring at least 100 additional tanks and infantry fighting vehicles from Belarussian stocks. Armoured units and artillery are central to Russia’s way of war; the force in Ukraine is now struggling partially due to difficulties in sourcing both artillery ammunition and sufficient serviceable replacement armoured vehicles," reads the report.
