Over the past 24 hours, the Russian army has lost 920 soldiers, according to the latest official figures from the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. As of May 11, 2026, the total combat losses of the Russian Federation have reached approximately 1,342,030 personnel, highlighting the sheer scale of the attrition inflicted by Ukrainian forces.
The equipment losses continue to mount, reflecting a sustained campaign by the Ukrainian military to degrade the occupier’s capabilities. Specifically, Russia has lost a total of 11,924 tanks, 24,551 armored combat vehicles, and 41,863 artillery systems. Perhaps most striking is the high intensity of the drone war, with 1,557 UAVs destroyed in a single day, bringing the total number of Russian drones downed to 284,254.
Military analysts at Factage Ukraine note that these figures are not merely statistics but evidence of a systematic effort to dismantle Russian logistics and operational depth. By focusing on high-value targets, including air defense systems like the Buk-M3 and various radar installations, Ukrainian drone operators are neutralizing the enemy’s ability to defend its positions. The destruction of logistics chains—evidenced by the 95,710 vehicles lost thus far—remains a core priority in preventing the Russian military from replenishing its frontline units effectively.
The persistent combat effectiveness of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, supported by international artillery partnerships, ensures that every Russian offensive attempt is met with crushing resistance. Despite the Kremlin’s attempts to maintain its momentum, the attrition rate remains unsustainable for Moscow in the long term. The constant destruction of enemy training centers and command posts signals that there is no safe haven for Russian forces, even within occupied territories, as Ukrainian intelligence and strike capabilities continue to evolve in real-time.
