A detailed breakdown of the war shows that the loss of the two Russian tanks now means Ukraine has destroyed 2942, while the destruction of three more APCs now means that Putin’s army has now lost 5920 in total.
The destruction of another 10 Russian drones takes the number destroyed by Ukraine to 1613 in total.
Ukraine also reportedly destroyed five more Russian vehicles and fuel tanks, taking the total lost by Russia to 4540.
The news comes after Dmitry Medvedev, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council, announced that Russia is stepping up the production of the ‘most powerful weapons of destruction.’
On Sunday, December 11, Medvedev said that Russia is not only fighting Ukraine in Kyiv but also around the world and because of that, his country was ramping up the production of its most powerful weapons.
“It is much more difficult for us – our enemy is not only entrenched in the Kyiv province of our native ‘Little Russia’. He is in Europe, North America, Japan, Australia, New Zealand…,” Medvedev said.
“So we are ramping up production of the most powerful means of defeat. Including those based on new principles.”
