The conflict in Ukraine is putting a strain on some of Russia’s most capable units and advanced capabilities, according to a regular bulletin from the British Ministry of Defence on Saturday.
At least one T-90M, Russia’s most advanced tank, has been destroyed in the fighting, the ministry said.
Approximately 100 T-90M tanks are in service amongst Russia’s best equipped units, including those fighting in Ukraine, it said.
