Ukraine has captured more of the enemy’s equipment than it has received from its partners.

 Since the beginning of the war, according to official statistics alone, Ukraine has taken possession of about 400 tanks, 700 armored vehicles, and 170 artillery systems as trophies. This is more than has been provided by the largest partner countries, writes Forbes. At the same time, it is noted that the true number of captured enemy equipment may be even greater. According to data from Oryx, Ukraine has seized about 750 tanks from Russia. This is almost as much as the total amount in the armed forces at the beginning of the war. According to The Military Balance for 2021, Ukraine had 858 tanks. The number of captured and received armored vehicles has reached about 2,300, the equivalent of how many there were before the start of the war. In addition, Russia has abandoned more than 167 artillery systems on the battlefield. Almost a third of these were taken during the last weeks of the Ukrainian counteroffensive, while the Western partners have provided Ukraine with a total of about 500 pieces of artillery.
