For the fifth month running, Russian casualties have outnumbered reinforcements — Madyar

Commander of the Unmanned Systems Forces Robert Brovdy (call sign: Magyar) stated that the Russian armed forces have now seen a negative ratio between personnel reinforcements and losses for the fifth consecutive month.

This is stated in a report by the Security Service of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

According to military sources, between December and April, Russia mobilised and recruited 148,400 people under contract. Confirmed losses among the occupiers from drone strikes alone amount to 156,735 people (according to the Delta situational awareness system).

The Unmanned Systems Forces have set a ‘target’ — at least 30% of strikes must target enemy personnel. According to Madyar, the current cumulative result for the 11 months of the UAS Group’s existence stands at 29.59%.

During this period, UAS units verified the destruction and engagement of 305,700 targets, of which 90,470 were enemy personnel.

In April 2026 alone, the units struck 10,581 occupiers, accounting for 31.15% of the total enemy manpower losses inflicted by the Ukrainian Defence Forces’ drones. As Madyar states, virtually every third confirmed target struck was accounted for by SBS units.

According to military calculations, the cost of a confirmed hit on enemy personnel, in terms of the ratio of drone expenditure to result, is $882.

“Exchanging enemy resources for the plastic and metal of a drone is one of the most effective exchange rates in modern warfare. The drone line must close as quickly as possible along the entire front. To achieve this, we need to make up 5% of the total strength of the Ukrainian army. Currently, we stand at 2.5%,” stated Madyar.
