Ukraine lost less than 10% of its Western equipment in clashes with Russia – Estonian intelligence
The Ukrainian army has lost less than 10% of the provided Western equipment in battles with the Russian invaders, the commander of the Estonian Defense Forces intelligence service, Colonel Margo Grosberg, has said in an interview with Estonian news outlet ERR.
Equipment loss doesn’t mean shit. Western allies are more than capable enough of producing enough to counteract the losses. What’s more important that leopards don’t throw their turret off, when hit. You can replace a tank within days. You can’t replace the troops. It’ll take 18 years or so
And Western techonology is designed to be repaired. That's why we sent along a lot of "Bergepanzer" (recovery tanks).
Do they mean in total, or since the start of the counter offensive?
This is the original quote:
Less than 10 percent of western-donated equipment has been lost as a result of operations so far,
Sounds to me like it has been since the beginning. But he probably means the heavy equipment.
