What is propaganda about literal images of each individual destroyed / captured Russian tank?. I would probably take 'official' numbers from a lot of sources with a large grain of salt, but these numbers easily serve as good effective lower bound on losses. You cant really get much more verified then an image of a Russian tank blown to bits on a road.

- _kbh_ 5y agoThe people who do the visual analysis of the losses put a lot of effort into making sure they don’t count duplicates. The tanks despite being the same have some differences between them because they have been upgraded with differently. Russia also fields different variants then Ukraine. You can also generally tell from the markings on the side of the tank who it belongs to. A large number of the confirmed tank loses are likely from videos of the two forces attacking each other which makes identification quite easy.
