The Kremlin's army enjoyed a huge advantage in terms of personnel and equipment over its western neighbour prior to the invasion in February.
Vladimir Putin's army is being outgunned and outwitted by Ukraine's much smaller forces thanks to the "revolutionary" application of AI, according to Western military experts. The UK's Ministry of Defence estimated that Russian commanders had at their disposal as many as 900,000 active military personnel, of which almost 200,000 were committed to the invasion.
Furthermore, Russia boasted more than 13,000 tanks, just under 6,000 artillery pieces and close to 20,000 armoured vehicles in its arsenal prior to the unleashing of hostilities.
In comparison, Kyiv has just 196,000 active military personnel, according to the International Institute of Strategic Studies (IISS).
Ukraine's army also possessed just over 2,000 tanks, 1,960 artillery pieces and 2,870 armoured vehicles when the war broke out.
Despite this huge Russian advantage in terms of offensive weapons, Ukraine's army has inflicted a series of humiliating defeats on Putin's generals and managed to reclaim more than 70,000 square kilometres of occupied territory.
The key to Kyiv's success lies in its access to and application of AI technology developed by the US tech firm, Palantir - a firm co-owned by the billionaire Peter Thiel.
Ukraine's commanders are skilfully using the advanced software produced by the company, to help their artillery units deliver more accurate and deadlier strikes against Russian positions and logistical supply
