Officials said Saturday Russian troops are deploying vehicles that were 'designed in the 1950s as a tractor to pull artillery,' with little armor and weapons.
The U.K. Ministry of Defence went on to say that Russia's"first echelon assault units" by comparison had vehicles with armor"up to 33mm thick,""powerful" cannons, and anti-tank missile launchers.
"Despite President Putin's claim on 07 July 2022 that the Russian military 'has not even started' its efforts in Ukraine, many of its reinforcements are ad hoc groupings deploying with obsolete or inappropriate equipment," the ministry concluded.
He added that experts have estimated Russia has lost roughly 1,000 tanks, 50 helicopters, and 400 artillery pieces.
