Russia struggling to repair thousands of destroyed combat vehicles, British intelligence says

According to Britain's Ministry of Defense, Russia is struggling to repair combat vehicles damaged in its war in Ukraine.

The ministry said in a Monday intelligence update that a Russian army facility six miles from the Ukrainian border was used to repair and upgrade combat vehicles. There were close to 300 damaged vehicles at the lot.

The Defense Intelligence said that Russia continues to struggle to repair the thousands of broken military vehicles that have been damaged in the Kremlin's war in Ukranian.

Russia has lost thousands of combat vehicles, including 3,950 armored protected vehicles and 1,730 tanks. According to the Kremlin's preliminary published data, just 50 APVs have been damaged, but Russia'sMinistry of Defense has little data on the number of vehicles lost.

Oryx, an open source investigation that uses photographic evidence to calculate losses, stated that Russia had lost over 2,000 vehicles. The vehicles have been captured by the Ukrainians.

The Russian infantry have been exposed to attack due to the steep losses of combat vehicles.

The exposure will make the manpower shortage in Moscow worse. The lack of armored vehicles means that any offensive in the Donbas or towards Odesa will face high casualty scenarios.
