I don't know about the rest of you all, but I'm seeing a lot of news articles and even YT recommendations now on russia's equipment shortages. If Russia is running short of tanks and IFVs then what will take up the slack? I guess infantry and artillery. Losses for both have been up lately. But if this gets even worse for Russia then we might start seeing Russian losses of 1500 troops per day as opposed to the 1200 or so daily casualties that they have now.

My guess their first point of call will be to try and buy tanks and APCs from Iran and North Korea. Otherwise they y well try to increase artillery and glide bomb usage to make up for a lack of vehicles. Even so, the estimates still didn’t think Russia would run out of usable vehicles until sometime next year, and they’ll likely scrape the bottom of the barrel first. They may even pull some out of museums.
