Russia has lost more tanks than it had before the Ukraine war, says think tank

• Russia has lost over 3,000 tanks since it invaded Ukraine, says the IISS.
• The think tank said that Russia's battlefield tank losses have exceeded what it had before the war.
• Arms shortages have seen Russia turning to North Korea and Iran for weapons.

Russia has lost more tanks than it had before it invaded Ukraine, the International Institute for Strategic Studies (IISS) said on Tuesday.

The London-based think tank offered its assessment when it launched its annual "The Military Balance" report on the same day. The report tracks the military capabilities of over 170 countries.
