Russia Lost 1,700 Troops on Tuesday
2026-03-20
[HOT AIR] Understandably, the war in Ukraine isn't getting the same attention that is being given to the war with Iran right now. That doesn't mean that nothing is happening there. This week, Ukraine claimed it had killed or injured 1,700 Russian soldiers in a single day of fighting.

Ukraine’s general staff said it had killed or wounded 1,710 Russian troops on March 17 and destroyed 29 artillery systems as well as 230 vehicles and fuel tankers.

The unmanned systems force, which oversees Ukraine’s drone strikes, was responsible for killing or wounding 900 Russian soldiers in a day and a half, after Moscow’s forces attempted to surge forward on the Zaporizhzhia front.

Robert Brovdi, head of the Ukrainian drone unit "Magyar’s Birds", said that the Russians had attempted to move in using infantry, motorcycles and horses under cover of fog before being wiped out.

In recent months, Russia’s average daily losses have mostly ranged between 700 and 900 troops per day.

If you're wondering, this is not a record. Back in November 2024, Ukraine reported killing or wounding 2,030 Russian soldiers in a single day.
