This is an update to a post I made a few days ago where I showed Russia was close to losing as many tanks as they started the war with in their active tank stock.
This does not mean that the 2,927 tanks Russia had in active service have been lost, rather it means they have lost a mix of both active and reserve tanks, such that total losses now are equal to the number they had in active service prior to the invasion.
To get an idea as to how Russia’s pre-war active stock of tanks are doing, look at the column “% Loss of Active Stock Only” which only includes losses of tanks that were in active service prior to the invasion.
Unfortunately it’s still only 18% even if it takes effort to get the others into action
I know Russia likes their wars of attrition but this just looks like it’s crippling their military at this point, sure its unlikely that Russia will be forced out of Ukraine but for the cost that Russia has paid they have really not gained that much land.
