Lets do some rough math about the UKR reported russian casualties: a battalion tactical group in its core has roughly 44 IFV&SPG and 10 Tanks (Motor rifle) or 23 IFV&SPG + 31 Tanks. Not including various potential attachments.
516 armored vehicles (excluding tanks) asuming 3:1 ratio of Motor rifle and tank BTG makes by my hasty calculations about 9 motor rifle btg total loss + 5 badly mauled tank btg. Can't really draw such conclusions form tank casualties, since well.. they are harder to kill.
Now of course these casualties, if real and accurate, wont be all concentrated in 14 btgs so asuming 50% losses in the first wave units, that could be as high as 28-30 BTGs badly mauled, lacking infantry, deprived of supporting units. Tanks will have hard time advancing alone.
So all summed up: if the numbers are true, russian first wave units are taking a beating. What units they are sending to the battle first is not clear, but I would asume that the best troops with best equipment are not yet commited.
