Satellite Image counting reveals russia has less then 921 MT-LBs left in reserve.

  • April 26, 2024



So they will probably deplete their MT-LB storages before the end of the year.

  1. Gonna miss seeing those ancient death traps explode in spectacular fashion.  Guess everyday Kamaz trucks will end up replacing them when they finally run out.

  2. Well….. that explains why cope caged, unarmored trucks have started to show up in the middle of no-mans-land. When even MT-LBs are running out, they are done with armor. While I’m sure they can dig out few relics here or there, but nothing close in sheer quantity of MT-LBs they have wasted.

  3. It is insane the amount of hardware the soviet union produced. 7k tanks destroyed, 1k left wtf.
    But still, We’re getting there 🙂

  4. An incredible amount of hardware has gone up in smoke. I’ll bet shortages of all vehicles are rippling through the Russian effort. I can’t see how Russia could attack the Baltics without 5 years years to generate some new forces.

  5. Ah, the thread from yesterday by “jompy”.
    There is also a roundup:
    https://threadreaderapp.com/thread/1783556507407151579.html
    with a link to an older(6 months) video from covert cabal about IFVs:
    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HuKVxgFBbYM
    .
    One sign of the looming shortage of IFVs on Russian side is the appearance
    of the Chinese DesertCrosser ATVs aka “golf carts”
    and also that they use Ural trucks for attacks.
    Sure you also can tow artillery with an Ural, but a MT-LB has at least protection against small arms fire.
    .
    Last time when it was about artillery I added what I found about the storage in Verkhnyaya Pyshma
    and Motovilikha from Perm, Russia, the (maybe im-)possible maker of barrels.

    Now I only can write about the floods in the Urals.
    The news started around April 6, Orenburg, Orsk and broken dams.
    Some thousand people were evacuated.
    Karma/Nova Kakhovka.

    But it’s not over:
    “The Hydrometeorological Center warned of a new wave of floods
    It will be caused by the melting of snow, which covers ¾ of the country’s territory.”

    Unfortunately Yekaterinburg (artillery), Nizhni Tagil (tanks) and Chelyabinsk (tank engines and more)
    are not affected (yet?).
    Near Tyumen the Transsiberian railway crosses some rivers.
    Maybe bridges or tracks will take some damage.
    “URA RU: Trucks are banned on the Irtysh highway from Kurgan to Tyumen due to flooding”

    I had a look after Omsk and it is somehow flooded:
    https://www.floodmap.net/?gi=1496153
    I thought there was something interesting about Omsktransmash:
    https://ru-m-wikipedia-org.translate.goog/wiki/Омский_завод_транспортного_машиностроения?_x_tr_sl=ru&_x_tr_tl=en&_x_tr_hl=en&_x_tr_pto=wapp
    yes, they do tank repairs.
    But the Wikipedia article makes wonder that there are still any machines.

    In the German news I’ve heard about the risk of uranium contamination
    due to floods, caused by leach mining in the past.
    In Kurgan.
    And there is KurganMashZavod, making BMPs:
    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurganmashzavod
    Making … I know that welding is also possible under water.

  8. I also wonder about the number of tanks left.
    Seeing the drop below 10 of the daily figure reported by Ukraine of destroyed RuZZian tanks, I wonder if one of the reasons is not simply that there are less of these around.

  9. Can you see all of them from a satellite? Aren’t there like hidden storages or something?

  11. Fuck Putin’s Russia.

    I’d love it if intelligence were gained on where the glide bombs are stored as they have vast stocks of these and they all got lit up like a firework with some choice Himars/Atacams/Storm Shadow/Scalp gifts landing flush. Ka-boom and blyat!!! 🧨💥💣🔥

  14. It’s actually insane to think that Russia has worked through that many pieces of armour already.

    That’s more armour than the three big European nations combined. Anyone but these deranged Russians would have given up by now.

  18. Heard Russian fascists use motorcycles right now. Telling there soldiers that they are going to be rotated. What they don’t tell there soldiers is that the way home is passing the Ukrainian trenches 🔥

  19. At the current rate of destruction, there is another three to four months before complete depletion.
