The daily losses of the occupiers is impressive.
Since the beginning of the offensive in the north of the Kharkiv region, the Russian Armed Forces have lost most of the brigade in Vovchansk, as well as two tank regiments. Vitaly Sarantsev, the speaker of the Kharkiv Operational-Tactical Group told LIGA.net.
He noted that since May 10, the Russians have lost most of their 138th Motorized Rifle Brigade in Vovchansk. In addition, the 83rd and 157th tank regiments suffered heavy losses.
It is reported that the number of motorized rifle brigades in the Russian army is up to 5,000 troops, and tank regiments have 94 vehicles. Sarantsev also said that Russian brigades in the Kharkiv direction sometimes lose several dozen occupiers a day.
Now, as the article reads, the Russians are forced to introduce new reserves or transfer units from other directions.
"That is, it looks like this: a brigade or regiment enters, attacks for several weeks, suffers terrible losses, plugs holes with reserves, gradually reforming assault groups, reducing their number, or the number of people involved," he explained.
According to the military, if the invaders attract reserves, they are pulled up in "several hours", and it takes several days for the invaders to transfer the unit from another direction.
According to the speaker, it is unlikely that Russian replenishments are 100% complete. Personnel losses can reach 40% or even higher. Despite the fact that according to the "textbook", part is considered incapacitated with a loss of 30%.
Sarantsev said that almost all units of the Russian Armed Forces, which are now fighting in the Kharkiv region, Ukrainian troops had to deal with this. For example, the 155th Separate Marine Guards Brigade of the Pacific Fleet was engaged in looting in the Kyiv region back in 2022.
"The 18th Motorized Rifle Division of the 11th Army Corps also fought in the Kharkiv region in 2022. Almost all of them participated in the war against Ukraine in one way or another, "Sarantsev said.
