Russia is running out of LT-MBs:

Only 16% left in storage compared to pre-war numbers.

That being said, there are still thousands in active service. But Russia will soon be unable to replace their losses at this rate.

Interesting. I looked this up because I've heard of the vehicle but production started in the 1970's, making the design 50 years old. I wonder what crappy system the Russians will have to pull out of storage when these dry up. More bmp-2's? Bmp 1's mabey? 

Well, there's still the MT-LBu, which despite it's similar name has no relation with the MT-LB apart from it's role. Russia should still have over 600 of those, as as such can still use those armored artillery tractors for a while. But it's getting increasingly clear that by next year the Russian army will increasingly run dry on armored equipment, and as such will have to increasingly reorganize the army into armored assault brigades and unarmored defense brigades with litte in between due to lack of necessary Equipments.
