    Russian MoD is claiming almost 64000, yes you read that number correct, 64000 units of Ukrainian military equipment destroyed since the start of Putin's unjust and unprovoked invasion.

    Lets just look at plane losses ("577 warplanes") in more detail to get an idea of the accuracy of these numbers.



    Ukraine plane losses after a full 1.5 years of fighting Putins invasion according to Forbes:

    Ukraine plane losses since the start of Putins invasion to now for visually verified losses according to Oryx who track only visually confirmed losses:
