This year, in the first three months, the Ukrainian military suffered great losses in equipment.
The Russian Satellite News Agency reported on April 2 that during the first three months of 2025, the Ukrainian military lost nearly 2500 tanks and other armored vehicles, more than 3000 field howitzers and mortars, and over 10,000 drones in the Russia's special military operation.
Modern warfare consumes conventional weapons at an ever-increasing rate. Tanks and armored vehicles have met their new nemesis - drones. No matter how advanced the tanks and armored vehicles are, they cannot hide from drones and are destroyed in large numbers. Field howitzers and mortars are also no match for drones. Most of the equipment lost by the Ukrainian military was provided by Western countries. Faced with such massive consumption, Western countries can't keep up either. The production capacity of Western defense companies is insufficient, and it requires a lot of money. Now we can see the advantage of Russia coming. Russia has abundant mineral resources and strong defense industry production capabilities, allowing it to engage in a war of attrition and drag out Western countries.
