The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lost about half of their modern tanks in the war in Ukraine - IISS

According to analysts, the full -scale invasion of Russia into Ukraine contributed to the modernization and expansion of the Armed Forces, as well as the increase of military potential by the countries of Eastern and Northern Europe. The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation suffered in Ukraine the heavy losses of personnel and military equipment. In particular, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lost about half of its pre -war reserves of modern tanks.

It is reported by the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IIss). "Russia's tank and artillery troops have suffered significant losses. It is estimated that about 50% of the pre-war park of modern T-72B3 and T-72B3M was lost," the source reads. It is reported that due to a shortage of modern heavy weapons of the Russian Federation, old Soviet equipment was removed from storage.

According to analysts, the war in Ukraine contributes to the re -equipment of Eastern European countries and the displacement of the weapons of the Soviet model. Thus, after the full -scale war, Poland accelerated its plans to increase its military power, including armored vehicles and artillery.

"Indeed, the strategic center of gravity in Europe has shifted further north and east: Germany has announced the creation of a special fund of 100 billion euros for defense and, like Poland and Finland, joined a group Generation, " - noted in IISS. Analysts also believe that in 2023, Finland will almost be officially a member of the North Atlantic Alliance.
