The Russian tanks and fighting vehicles destroyed during its full-scale invasion of Ukraine would fill up five Red Squares in Moscow or 16 football fields at the Paris Olympics.

This is one of the main findings of a spatial and geographic evaluation of Russian war losses conducted by Kyiv Post.....

What Did We Find?

If all destroyed Russian tanks and fighting vehicles were lined up end to end, they would stretch 35 kilometers. That is a similar distance to that of: Kyiv to Hostomel (where Russian paratroopers first landed on February 24, 2022); Washington DC to Dulles International Airport; London to Gatwick Airport, and; Moscow to Domodedovo Airport.

If all destroyed Russian tanks and fighting vehicles were brought together (112,687 square meters), they would cover 4.88 Red Squares in Moscow and 15.88 football fields at the Paris Olympics.

If all destroyed Russian tanks were stacked on each other (4,406 meters), they would be around five times higher than Dubai’s Burj Khalifa (830 meters), the world’s tallest building, and 10 times higher than Saint Petersburg’s Lakhta Center (462 meters), Russia’s tallest building.

The weight (121,000 tons) of destroyed Russian tanks and fighting vehicles is equal to the amount of waste produced by Moscow residents in one week.

Russia’s dead from the full-scale invasion of Ukraine (200,000 plus) would fill three Krestovsky Stadiums (capacity 67,000) in Putin’s native Saint Petersburg.

To bury Russia’s dead together, a cemetery of more than 43 hectares would be required which is seven times larger than Moscow’s Novodevichy cemetery, the burial site of Anton Chekhov, Boris Yeltsin, Nikita Khrushchev, Sergiy Prokofiev, Lazar Kaganovich and other Russian notables.

1. And no A-10 Warthogs on the battlefield.

2. The only thing that will matter, when the fighting stops, is where the border is drawn.

These feel-good stats really don't impress me a lot. The old song says, "Believe half of what you see, and son none of what you hear."
Frankly, that is from both sides. It is the nature of war. I am glad that Ukraine appears to be holding ground and will be thrilled when they take back all of what the Russians occupied.
