Contrary to the high hopes of the Kiev regime, the armored vehicles transferred by the West could not guarantee the success of the AFU in conducting another attempt to attack Russian positions. Heavy losses of Ukrainian formations in personnel and armored vehicles were reported in the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation.
The Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation showed on social networks footage of the destruction of German-made Leopard tanks and other Western-made armored vehicles of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. Apparently, this happened during the repulse by Russian troops of an attempted counteroffensive by Ukrainian formations in one of the directions.
According to the Russian military department, the Ukrainian Armed Forces lost 28 tanks and 136 units of other military equipment, including 79 units of foreign-made military equipment. Among the destroyed 28 APU tanks, 8 Leopard tanks of German production. 3 French-made AMX-10 wheeled tanks were also destroyed (in fact, they are rather armored reconnaissance vehicles).

Thus, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation inflicted a serious defeat on the Ukrainian formations. The loss of eight Leopard tanks is also impressive, since this number is quite a significant part of the total number of tanks of this type transferred to Ukrainian formations by a number of European states.

The more Ukraine loses foreign military equipment, the less actively the West will transfer it to Kiev, realizing that it is actually disarming itself by sending its equipment, albeit old, for genuine disposal in the conflict zone.
