Ukraine’s Unmanned Systems Forces said confirmed Russian personnel losses recorded in the “Delta” system rose by 25.6% in the first 15 days of September compared with the same period in August. According to the USF, the figure stands at 6,280 irrecoverable and medical losses, compared with 4,998 between August 1 and 15.
This was reported by Unmanned Systems Forces Commander Robert “Madyar” Brovdi.
According to him, the average daily number of confirmed Russian personnel losses in September currently stands at 419 per day.
The largest Russian personnel losses during the first 15 days of September, according to the USF, were recorded in the Huliaipole sector — 1,927, the Dobropillia sector — 1,806, and the Pokrovsk sector — 617.
Brovdi said that if the current pace of Russian troop replenishment continues and weather conditions remain favorable, the USF expects around 12,500 confirmed Russian personnel losses in September.
For comparison, according to his figures, 11,010 Russian personnel losses were confirmed in August.
Brovdi also said he expects fighting to intensify between October and December 2026 due to Russia’s reported plans to deploy an additional 300,000 troops.
In his assessment, this would be roughly twice the previous average monthly rate of Russian troop replenishment.
As of 10:00 a.m. on September 16, according to the USF online “Pidrakhuyka” tracker, the number of confirmed Russian personnel losses had risen to 6,434.
