Ukraine reports that Russian tank losses in the ongoing war have surpassed 10,000, marking a significant increase. This figure comes amid speculation about the potential use of a WWII-era T-34 tank by Russian forces, though this has not been confirmed. Footage of a T-34 being transported has circulated on social media, raising questions about Russia's current military capabilities. The T-34, once a symbol of Soviet strength, has appeared alongside reports of modern equipment shortages. Independent assessments of Russian losses vary, with one source estimating around 3,740 tanks lost. However, these figures are difficult to verify, and actual losses may be higher than reported.
