British Intelligence Update as of Nov 3

Russian soldiers serving in Ukraine are likely frustrated that they are forced to serve in old infantry combat vehicles which they describe as aluminum cans.

In mid-October, in the face of Ukrainian offensives, Russian armored vehicles losses increased to over 40 a day: roughly equivalent to a battalion’s worth of equipment.

In recent weeks Russia has likely resorted to acquiring at least 100 additional tanks and infantry fighting vehicles from Belarussian stocks.

Armored units and artillery are central to Russia’s way of war; the force in Ukraine is now struggling partially due to difficulties in sourcing both artillery ammunition and sufficient serviceable replacement armored vehicles.
