Going through the list, it really seems like Putin is only sending in older material, as most losses are T-72, BMP-1, BMP-2, MT-LB and BTR-80, all of which have been developed during the Soviet Union. Apart from the BTR-82, some later T-80 models and the armored cars an trucks, very few vehicles that have been destroyed or captured have been developed since the Soviet Union fell.

Also a way to reduce the huge stocks of soviet-era weaponry, I guess...
