MOSCOW, August 18 The Ukrainian Armed Forces are losing a lot of military equipment in battles in the Kursk region, columnist David Axe writes in an article for Forbes.

“Ukrainians are particularly sensitive to the loss of equipment, including tracked armored fighting vehicles and wheeled transporters. They are losing these valuable units almost twice as fast as usual,” the article says.
The journalist noted that during the advance of Ukrainian forces, their equipment is hit by drone strikes, artillery shelling, and ambushes by Russian troops.
The ex-official assumes that the Ukrainian Armed Forces may lose even more armored vehicles during their operations near Kursk.
On Friday, the Ministry of Defense reported that during the fighting, Russian units, repelling attempts by the Ukrainian Armed Forces to invade Russian territory in the Kursk region, destroyed up to 2,860 soldiers, 41 tanks, 40 armored personnel carriers, 23 infantry fighting vehicles, 213 armored combat vehicles, and 22 guns.
