I've seen photos of 3 "knocked out" Leoard II's with photos of several other damaged to date. Perun had a figure of 8 "knocked out" or damaged in one of his videos. All have been recovered and are in 1st line or 2nd line repair or in rebuild. Can't do that with any of the T series of MBTs. Hit those and ~90% are total write offs. Not even worth attempting to use as a sources of spare parts.
Same with the Bradelys. A sigificant number of them have been repaired and some are back in service. As Street Phamacist mentioned, we are seeing the same vehicles time and time again in the news. There was a bit of a kerffufle on the Russian telegram a while back when it was realised that the survivability of the Bradley and it's crews is well beyond anything the Russian kit has to offer. The Ukranians are going into action with these vehicles with the knowledge that even if they are hit, their chances of surviving is quite high.
Edit: Just checked Oryx. He has 3 Leopard II as destroyed and 5 damaged. (Matches Perun). Those 5 will be back in service far quicker than any T series tank. Also has 15 destroyed Bradleys and 17 damaged. Again, those damaged Bradleys will be/are back in service far faster than any BMP series vehicle.
