The Ukrainian army has lost less than 10% of the provided Western
equipment in battles with the Russian invaders, the commander of
the Estonian Defense Forces intelligence service, Colonel Margo Grosberg, has said
in an interview with Estonian news outlet ERR.
As far as I have followed, Ukraine has lost a lot of the Soviet equipment.
These have now been replaced by Western technologies. In a bit smaller number of pieces. But the quality is much better.
In the German media it is also reported that Ukraine keeps large mechanized brigades (or was it pattalions?) in reserve.
At the moment, they are probably just trying to open a gap somewhere and tie up the enemy in as many sections as possible. And of course, as always, to attack the supplies.
We are currently seeing only one (?) of the 9 (?) newly formed assault brigades at the front. Most of the ground work is performed by the preexisting troops with various mix of eqiupement.
Afaik RUF have no strategic reserves at that magnitude (they might build some divisions, but at the cost of front line units).
-> So UAF is thinning the RUF trench lines to drain the tactical reserves and shaping the battlefield (aka blowing ammo dumps in the rear) until the supreme command decides it’s time to strike with the main force which is currently in reserve.
