Here's the latest updates to documented material #Russia losses in #Ukraine as of today, and a brief overview of the past month in the micro-🧵

Although April might seem not that different from the past, it actually is, with total 203 recorded losses compared to 306 in March, and 347 in February.

'50% drop' would sound overly optimistic for #Russian MoD, though. That's still nearly a tank, a truck, over 2 IFVs each and every day, and occasional IMVs, SPGs, MRLs, helicopters and whatever else #RuAF can sustain every now and then.

In terms of loss status that's:
🟥176 destroyed (vs 273 in March)
🟧 9 captured (vs 10 in March)
⬜️ 18 abandoned (vs 23 in March)
Which is indicative of continued yet exhausting #Russia's offensive effort.

Here's the top places seeing action:
📍97 Donetsk oblast (vs 140 in March)
📍41 Luhansk oblast (vs 45 in March)
📍21 in the South (vs 47 in March)
Which leaves no doubts in terms of where that offensive effort is aimed at.

As we mentioned before, some of these losses likely took place earlier than April, only surfaced now. The delay sometimes amounts to months. That's normal, just like some of the April losses are going to surface later on as we discover them and add to the database. Stay tuned!
