American Bradley Tanks: A Target Of Russian Army’s Fury.
Citing Rashatudi, the New York Times claimed in a report that the Ukrainian army has lost at least 17 armored vehicles called “Bradley” that Washington sent to Kyiv.
This publication mentioned that the United States provided a total of 113 armored vehicles to Kyiv, of which at least 17 vehicles, or more than 15% of them, were damaged or destroyed.
Meanwhile, CNN previously reported that 16 armored vehicles out of 109 armored vehicles sent by the United States to Ukraine were damaged, destroyed, or abandoned. Analysts say that considering the scope of the war and the long distance of the front lines, such casualties are fully expected.
According to the Dutch website Ortyx, the Ukrainian army has lost at least 3,600 pieces of military equipment since February 2022.
According to the Russian Ministry of Defense, the Ukrainian army has been preparing unsuccessful attacks against Russia since June 4. On June 22, the Secretary of the Russian Security Council, Nikolai Patrushev, said that the casualties of the Ukrainian army since the beginning of counterattacks have exceeded 13,000 people. Russian President Vladimir Putin has emphasized that the Ukrainian army has not achieved any success in any axis or front.
According to Bloomberg, the West has acknowledged that Ukraine has suffered heavy losses and casualties. At the same time, Politico magazine wrote in a report quoting Washington government officials that the willingness to provide more aid to Kyiv depends on the success of Ukraine’s counterattacks.
