Russian military death toll in Ukraine rises to about 264,660

The relevant statement was made by the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine on Facebook, an Ukrinform correspondent reports.

Between February 24, 2022 and September 3, 2023, the enemy’s total combat losses included also 4,476 tanks (+5 over the past day), 8,649 armored fighting vehicles (+12), 5,582 artillery systems (+22), 739 multiple launch rocket systems (+3), 502 anti-aircraft warfare systems (+1), 315 aircraft, 316 helicopters, 8,102 motor vehicles and fuel tanks (+59), 18 warships/boats, 4,444 unmanned aerial vehicles (+11), 841 special equipment units (+6). A total of 1,447 enemy cruise missiles were shot down.

The data are yet to be updated.

A reminder that Ukrainian forces breached Russia’s first defensive line near Zaporizhzhia after weeks of painstaking mine clearance, and expect faster gains as they press the weaker second line.
