"That’s enough equipment for three Russian battalions. And it’s only what’s 'visible and confirmed with video,” according to Kriegsforscher. Actual Russian losses could be much higher,'" said Forbes, citing Kriegsforscher on social media.On 13 November, the General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine reported a record single-day loss for Russia: 1,950 personnel and 104 destroyed armored vehicles. Kursk Oblast accounts for the majority of these losses, with fighting there at least twice as intense as in other areas. The Kremlin reinforced several of its brigades, including the 51st Airborne Regiment and the 810th Marine Brigade, with fresh vehicles and then deployed them to Kursk Oblast. Meanwhile, Ukrainian brigades have held firm and even managed to counterattack in parts of the front, advancing near Novoivanovka.
"The fighting shows no sign of letting up. Amid the uncertainty of extreme and unsustainable losses and global political change, the Russians are going for broke in Kursk," wrote David Axe.Earlier, Ukraine's Commander-in-Chief, Oleksandr Syrskyi, stated that Russia had deployed tens of thousands of its best forces to the Kursk Oblast. At the same time, BILD analyst Julian Röpcke reported that Russia's counteroffensive has turned into a disaster for Russian President Vladimir Putin and his generals, with the Russians sustaining heavy losses.
