The Czech government has approved a plan to acquire 44 Leopard 2A8 battle tanks from Germany. This move is part of a major military modernization amid Russia's war against Ukraine.
Russia is using motorcycles and donkeys. As someone who’s been watching this war far too closely, it’s very rare to hear about Russians using tanks. Because they all got blown up with drones.
According to Oryx, we’ve got visual confirmation of 25 tanks and 59 more armoured vehicles lost by Russia in July alone. The tanks are getting pretty shitty and old, yes, but they’re definitely still out there because they are still getting blown up
it’s 5 unknowns, 6 T-62’s, 4 T-72’s, 2 T-80’s, 2 T-90’s. Russia conveniently numbers it’s tanks for the year it was introduced. So, being generous, 4 new tanks, and 10 museumpieces.
Oryx technically does, but I don’t know a way to sort the entries by date. I based that part of the comment on this Perun video, which has a comparison of Russian tank losses by groups of model (Russian, late Soviet, and early Soviet) across 2022, 2023, and 2024 at 7:28
That link you found looks significantly more in-depth though

Do you have a source that lists losses by model? I can only find “25 tanks” but not if they’re from the 50’s or new built.

I noticed the same, and they’re also not really sequential (only per sub-model, and that’s just way too much work for some curiosity).
https://ukr.warspotting.net/ does something similar to Oryx, but allows dates and models in a nice sortable database.
