ISW: Russia has lost up to 200 military vehicles near Avdiivka

“A Ukrainian reserve officer published satellite imagery on October 23 and confirmed that the Russian military lost over 109 military vehicles near Avdiivka between October 10 and 20,” reads the report by the U.S. Institute for the Study of War.

As noted, the majority of Russian losses were primarily armored fighting vehicles, such as BMP-1 and BMP-2s and MT-LBs; T-72, T-64, and T-80 tanks; BTR armored personnel carriers; and other transport vehicles. According to the source, “Russian vehicle losses around Avdiivka have surpassed Russian vehicle losses during the failed Siversky Donets crossing in May 2022 and will likely surpass Russian vehicle losses in the Vuhledar area between November 2022 and April 2023.”

At the same time, “due to inconsistent imagery”, other independent sources estimate that Russian forces have lost around 200 military vehicles near Avdiivka.
