Because it was a good question, a word about tank "losses".

Unless the damage was catastrophic (turret tossing, hull reduced to component pieces) most tanks are repairable. Much like the auto industry tanks that are still in production and/or have really high production numbers are cheaper to repair.

A loss is counted if the tank is damaged beyond repair, captured, or abandoned by its previous owners.

...

After the Russian withdrawal from Kyiv almost half of the tanks in Ukrainian service were captured ex-Russian tanks. By the conclusion of the Kherson/Kharkiv counter offensive last year almost 2/3rds of the Ukrainian tank force was captured ex-Russian vehicles. Enough to temporarily turn 3 Ukrainian mechanized brigades into tank divisions in all but name.

Usually the side that is advancing can recover both its own lost vehicles and those of the enemy.

@Render Okay but what happens if the tractor won't give it back. And what happens when a tractor and a tank love each other very much?
