March was the worst month of the war for the ratio of total UKR to RU equipment losses (source: Oryx).
Likely due to the Russian offensive in Kursk and forced Ukrainian withdrawal
When looking at heavy weapons only, ratio is a bit better but still 2nd worst month of the war🧵
Apr 7, 2025 04:15Some caveats about the data:
1. Russia is increasingly using civilian vehicles (cars/motorcycles) for transportation to the front, reflecting lower losses in armored vehicles (but higher personnel losses)
2. These numbers don’t include drones, which are becoming one of the top factors on the battlefield
Nevertheless, given Ukraine’s deficiencies in heavy weaponry and uncertain future about the scale of future foreign military aid, this is not a good situation
