So proportionally if you had to guess how well do you think you're doing? You've lost maybe half/a third of your vehicles and about 10% of your infantry strength pushing towards the objective.

Is there a chance that damaged vehicles can be recovered/repaired or not or that beyond the grounds of the engine/timespan of an operation?

For start of Barbarossa campaign this is massive attrition. The Soviets are putting up an incredible fight here! Your batallion has lost about 20% of it's strength (probably more in vehicles) in under a day of fighting. And still have more of a battle to go to secure the area.

Presuming you secure your objectives throughout the rest of the battle, at a bare minimum your batallion would be combat ineffective until reinforced. For early Barbarossa that's a terrifying level of pain.

Messy fight. By eastern front standards in summer 1941, this counts as a victory by the Soviets. They've held up the Germans for most of a day and put a batallion through a meatgrinder.

You basically had a full half batallion and supporting vehicles mostly pulped and lost over half it's combat effectiveness. It'd have to be taken off the line and reconstituted.. Or more than likely just split up and fed to other units as reinforcements. Messy battle!

Nice fight! That's pretty much one entire Axis batallion liquidated.
