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 minority are tankers.

That was in 2022. Most current estimates are around 1200-1400. Many are used as floating reservoirs, many are used to pump oil from one tanker into another to hide origin so you don't really see them sailing around.
