"Since the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Ukraine claims that Russia has lost roughly 3,000 tanks (8,000 armored vehicles total, including IFVs and APCs). Main battle tanks are armored vehicles designed for front-line combat. These vehicles blend offensive and defensive capabilities, and can operate in different battlefield scenarios, making them a crucial part of warfare. Without these tanks, Russia loses a significant amount of offensive power, diminishing the country's warfare efficacy in the ongoing conflict."
"The Soviet Union began developing tanks before World War II, and the country's tank-related breakthroughs led to the game-changing T-34. This tank gained notoriety in World War II, particularly at the Battle of Kursk in 1943, where large numbers of T-34s helped defeat the German forces. After World War II, the Soviet Union continued developing the generation of tanks with new models like the T-54 and T-55 which would become some of the most widely produced tanks ever."
Since the start of the Russia-Ukraine conflict, Ukraine claims Russia has lost roughly 3,000 tanks and 8,000 armored vehicles including IFVs and APCs. Main battle tanks combine offensive and defensive capabilities and operate across varied battlefield scenarios, providing crucial frontline combat power. Soviet tank innovations produced transformative models such as the T-34, which was decisive at the 1943 Battle of Kursk. Postwar designs like the T-54 and T-55 became among the most widely produced tanks. Recent Russian models include the T-14 Armata, which features advanced armor, powerful guns, and modern electronics and has seen service in the Ukraine conflict.
