Graveyard for NATO armor: list of Western weapons systems destroyed during Kiev’s Kursk gambit

Along with crack troops and foreign mercs, Kiev’s surprise attack on the Kursk region has involved an array of NATO equipment. Here are some of the much-touted NATO systems destroyed:

◾️ Challenger 2: Britain’s battle-shy MBT lost its status as the only modern tank never to have been destroyed by enemy fire when London started sending them to Ukraine last year. A Russian loitering munition destroyed a Challenger 2 in the Kursk region in mid-August.

◾️ Abrams: Russia’s first Abrams kill in the Kursk region was reported last week. At least 20 of the 31 Abrams supplied to Kiev have now been lost.

◾️ HIMARS rocket artillery: At least three of these shoot-and-scoot rocket artillery systems have been destroyed in the Kursk assault.

◾️ Stryker: About a dozen of these Canadian APC-IFV hybrids have been destroyed by Russian air power, Lancet drones, and Black Sea Fleet Naval Infantry in the Kursk region, with two more captured.

◾️ Marder: At least three of these German “Schutzenpanzers” have been knocked out by Russian forces in the Kursk region.

◾️ Bradley: Eight of these American IFVs were destroyed in the course of 24 hours on August 12 during a breakthrough attempt. Five or more were knocked out in fighting elsewhere.

◾️ Kirpi: Last week, Russian FPV drone footage showed a drone’s attack on a Turkish-made Kirpi MRAP operating somewhere in the Kursk area.

◾️ Humvee: These ubiquitous US-made vehicles have been spotted in MoD and media reports on destroyed enemy equipment, with knocked-out vehicles seen in an array of modifications, from machinegun turret-equipped variants to support vehicles.

◾️ M113 APC: At least one M113 has been hit by Russia’s deadly new EW-resistant Knyaz Vandal of Novgorod wired FPV drone.
