Documented Equipment Losses of Russian Forces During the 2023 Wagner Group Mutiny
This report provides a detailed visual documentation of military equipment losses sustained by Russian Government Forces during the 2023 Wagner Group mutiny. Compiled by open-source intelligence analysts, the data relies strictly on photo or videographic evidence, suggesting that actual losses are likely higher than recorded. The analysis excludes civilian vehicles and derelict equipment but includes claims from verified sources like the 'fighterbomber' Telegram channel for aerial losses. Key documented losses include one destroyed Il-22M airborne command post, five destroyed helicopters (including Mi-8, Mi-35M, and Ka-52 models), and one damaged Mi-8MTPR-1 electronic warfare helicopter. Additionally, one KamAZ-435029 Patrol-A MRAP vehicle was captured. The report highlights significant damage to Russian air assets, particularly specialized electronic warfare and attack helicopters. Aircraft and helicopters captured by Wagner forces at Rostov-on-Don North are explicitly excluded from this specific tally. The findings underscore the intensity of the internal conflict and the material cost incurred by state forces during the brief but violent uprising led by the Wagner private military company.
