Here's a comprehensive video from Perun that shows just how much, or more accurately, how little Russia has still left in storage, and that what they still have is getting increasingly old, if not archaic for some, and also pretty rusty, meaning it will take quite some time to get those ready for service again: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xF-S4ktINDU Interestingly, they're really emptying all their bases, including those directly in front of NATO countries. Really shows how much the Nato threat is just a talking point and propaganda piece but not an actual concern. Also interesting is that Russia actually manages to keep up the production of BMP-3 with it's losses - but not for the losses of other BMP types, so they will run dry at one point, too. Also, here's an assessment over the production of T-90M, which comes both from upgrading T-90A and from new vehicles. Currently Russia produces about 60-70 of them per year, with a potential upper limit of 90. But that's just about how many tanks Russia loses in a week, so this won't help all that much once the other tanks have run out. Plus, Russia is running out of T-90A to upgrade (roughly 50 in storage and 100 in active service), so soon they will have to make with just newly produced vehicles, which will certainly take more time to do than upgrading existing ones. |
