The British government estimates that some 15,000 Russian soldiers have died since the beginning of the war with Ukraine. The figure was given by Defense Secretary Ben Wallace on Monday in the London Parliament.
In addition, significant material losses
“In addition to the death toll, there is loss of equipment and overall, many sources indicate that more than 2,000 armored vehicles have been destroyed or intercepted to date,” Wallace said. This figure includes at least 530 tanks, 560 infantry fighting vehicles and 530 armored personnel carriers. “Russia also lost more than 60 helicopters and fighters,” Wallace said.
Ukraine has 22,000 deaths, Russia has 1,351 deaths
Ukraine is recording much higher Russian losses. According to him, almost 22,000 soldiers were killed, and 181 combat aircraft, 154 helicopters, 884 tanks and 2,258 armored personnel carriers were destroyed.
Russia itself has so far confessed to the deaths of 1,351 soldiers in the war in Ukraine.
Wallace said Russia “has failed in almost all of its goals.” At the beginning of the war, Russia deployed more than 120 tactical battalion groups, representing about 65 percent of all ground troops. “We are now assuming that a good 25 percent of them are not ready to fight anymore,” Wallace said.
He stressed that Ukraine has been using British Starstreak anti-aircraft missiles for the past three weeks. Wallace announced that the UK would also hand over to Ukraine a “small number” of Stormer armored vehicles equipped with these anti-aircraft missile launchers. This will strengthen Ukraine’s air defense, Wallace said.
