Anyone knows the size of Russia's shadow fleet by any chance?

Either way, every lost ship means many barrels of lost oil trade, and thus tons of money that can't be spent in the military anymore...

Less than 600, but a minorty are tankers.

Edit: extra info

ETHERA (9387279) is linked to the Iranian figure Mohammad Hossein Shamkhani. His father, Ali Shamkhani, who up until yesterday was the chief political advisor to Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Khamenei, was killed in yesterday's bombings. Shamkhani's fleet consists of nearly 40 tankers.
