Over 35,000 confirmed russian losses: March sets a record for verified hits

In March, russia’s losses reached their highest level since the launch of the Army of Drones Bonus programme, with over 35,000 russian troops killed or seriously wounded over the month.

These results are recorded in the ePoints system, which awards points for verified hits. Each hit is confirmed by video.

Drones — the primary strike tool

The vast majority of enemy losses were inflicted by unmanned systems.

In particular:

• UAVs accounted for 33,988 hits;
• 1,363 hits were delivered by artillery.

Equipment destruction

Among other significant results in March, 274 enemy air defense systems were destroyed. Ukraine continues the systematic destruction of russian air defense assets.

In March, 121 MLRS systems and 212 artillery pieces and self-propelled artillery systems were destroyed.

The number of Shahed and Gerbera drones destroyed by interceptor drones doubled in March. A total of 33,686 enemy UAVs of various types were intercepted.

In total, Ukrainian warriors hit 151,207 targets over the course of March.

Top-performing units

In March, the top-performing units in drone operations were the Special Operations Center “A” (Alpha) of the Security Service of Ukraine, Magyar Birds, the “Phoenix” special unit of the State Border Guard Service of Ukraine, Lazar’s Group, and the 95th Separate Air Assault Brigade.

The Ministry of Defence thanks Ukrainian warriors for their precision and effectiveness on the battlefield.

Enemy losses outpace replenishment

For the fourth consecutive month, enemy losses have continued to outpace the rate of troop replenishment. We are steadily progressing toward the strategic goal of 50,000 russian troops killed per month.

Ukraine is systematically increasing enemy losses faster than russia can regenerate its forces.

This is one of the key elements of the War Plan, which is to achieve a level of losses that will force russia into peace.
