I got this info from a retired Army O-6 (Armor officer) who was in the Gulf War then retired and worked in Force Modernization as a GS-15 so I have no idea how accurate it is, but if it is it is huge.
Total combat losses by Russian occupying forces from 24 Feb to 15 Mar (approximation): 13500+ troops, 404 tanks, 1279 armored vehicles, 150 artillery systems, 64 rocket systems, 36 anti-air systems, 81 airplanes, 95 helicopters, 640 military auto vehicles, 3 military boats, 60 fuel tanks, 9 tactical UAVs. - General Staff of the Armed Forces of Ukraine \
From memory, that is about the equivalent of two Motorized Rifle Divisions, Plus an Airborne Brigade (Based on US news video of burning vehicles) 1 1/2 Helo Regiments, 5-6 Regimental Artillery Groups, Unk fighter squadrons and a lot of fuel trucks.
By Russian planning factors units are combat ineffective when losses of unit combat power reach 60%. There are a lot of issues going on in the Russian army right now as well as a number of promotion opportunities.
I checked another source and got these figures:
According to these latest statistics, a total of over 12,000 Russian soldiers have been killed and at least 200 have been captured as prisoners of war by Ukraine.
In terms of machinery losses, Ukraine said Russia has suffered a loss of 1,070 armoured vehicles, 482 wheeled vehicles, 317 tanks, 120 artillery, 60 fuel tanks, 56 rocket systems, 81 helicopters, 49 fixed-wing aircraft, 28 anti-aircraft devices, seven drones and three boats.
I'm not positive but that is more equipment (and way more soldiers) than we lost in the entire Middle East.
