How much equipment has Russia lost?
Professor Clarke says Russian forces have lost about 860 pieces of significant equipment – including tanks, armoured vehicles and artillery pieces, according to verifiable figures from independent sources or with photographic evidence.
Of those, about 60% of them have been abandoned or captured.
Ukrainians have lost less than 250, which they can afford.
