russian military personnel losses since the start of 2026
Since the start of the year, hits on over 320,000 enemy troops have been confirmed, with nearly one-eighth of this total recorded in October.
The number of hits inflicted by unmanned systems rose by 26% (+8,637) compared with September. The October figure exceeded the previous peak recorded in March this year (35,000) and was 1.6 times the figure for October last year.
The largest increases were in the Donetsk, Zaporizhzhia, and Luhansk sectors.
Record number of UGV evacuation missions and russian aircraft hit
In addition to combat missions, October saw a record number of evacuations using unmanned ground vehicles (UGVs).
The evacuation of 598 people was verified, 105 more than in September.
Two helicopters, a Mi-8 and a Mi-28, and an An-124-100 aircraft were also hit in October.
Why verifying hits on enemy targets matters
Verifying hits makes it possible to see exactly which targets Ukrainian troops are destroying, in which sectors, and with what assets.
This helps commanders assess unit performance and determine where to strengthen combat capabilities, send additional drones and crews, or change target priorities.
In this way, confirmed results are turned into concrete decisions that help use resources more efficiently and inflict heavier losses on the enemy.
As previously reported, units of the Defence Forces of Ukraine have destroyed or put out of action 1,039 russian military boats using unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) in just under 10 months of 2026.
