Russian Army losses for October 18

Russia lost 2,100 of its soldiers killed and wounded in a day, so on the morning of October 19, the aggressor’s total combat losses amounted to about 1,567,160 people.

The enemy also lost weapons and military equipment: 4 more armored combat vehicles, 24 artillery systems, and 3 air defense systems were destroyed.

As a result of the Defense Forces’ strikes, the Russians lost another 6 ground robotic complexes and 1,636 operational-tactical-level UAVs.

Of the support equipment, the occupiers lost 332 units of automobiles and 3 units of special equipment.

“The Ukrainian Defense Forces are systematically destroying the enemy’s personnel, weapons, military equipment, and means of support. This weakens its offensive capabilities, complicates the replenishment of resources and the provision of troops, and reduces Russia’s ability to continue armed aggression against Ukraine,” the General Staff emphasized.
