In a development related to the conflict, Deputy Director of the Main Military- Political Directorate of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Commander of the Akhmat special forces of the Chechen Republic of the Russian Federation, Major General Apty Alaudinov, in an interview with the Youth Truth newspaper on October 11, said that the Russian army had destroyed 70% of the military equipment used by the Armed Forces of Ukraine (VSU) in the operation in Kursk province.

“They have concentrated real resources that they have never had in three years on a specific attack in one direction – more than 200 tanks, more than 400 armored personnel carriers, infantry fighting vehicles,” Mr. Alaudinov said.

All the old weapons of Europe were involved in this campaign. 70% of this equipment was destroyed. The remaining equipment somewhere will continue to be destroyed.”
