Russian-Ukrainian Conflict: Intense Battles and Devastating Losses on Both Sides

A video posted by Ukraine's 36th Marine Brigade shows Ukrainian soldiers destroying several Russian tanks with Javelin missiles in the Donetsk region. Ukraine claims to have destroyed thousands of Russian tanks throughout the conflict, with Kyiv's count estimating Russia's total tank losses at 3,595. Russia has never confirmed Ukraine's estimates, and Kyiv's count comes in higher than many Western estimates. Russian President Vladimir Putin recently announced plans to produce and upgrade more than 1,600 tanks in the next three years, but experts have criticized Russia's limited industrial capacity to quickly produce advanced tanks and ongoing losses on the battlefield.
