But, as indicated in the report, after 1,000 days of war, the ground forces of the Russian Federation are radically different from those that initially invaded Ukraine.

“Russia’s personnel losses of more than 700,000 killed and wounded dramatically undermined the quality of the Russian military. Most of the soldiers currently serving in the Russian army received minimal training, and Russian commanders used basic advance tactics, despite the associated high performance wounded,” British intelligence informs.

It is noted that Russia has lost at least 3,500 main battle tanks and 7,500 armored vehicles. The large stockpiles of tanks and armored vehicles inherited from the Soviet Union were the only means by which the Russian Federation was able to replenish these heavy losses, the report said.

“Despite the costs imposed on its ground forces, Russian territorial progress in Ukraine accelerated by 2024. This was facilitated by the tolerance of Russian leadership for casualties and the numerical superiority of Russian ground forces over the armed forces. The front line is now less stable than at any time since the full-scale war “, – declare in British intelligence.
