A lot of tanks left you say? Covert Cabal has just made a video about it:

Basically all that's left in any numbers are T-62 and T-72A (aka Ural. As in the OG version that came out 50 years ago and pretty much stayed that way), with what's left of the other tanks has dwindled down a lot and it gets harder and harder to replace them. The T-90 are all used up, the T-80 almost, too, and the T72B variants are also almost totally drained.

Just to illustrate, here are the numbers of tanks Russia had in storage before the war and as per the latest count:

Keep in mind that some of the pictures from the bases where they count the tanks are as old as last summer, so in reality, the actual number is somewhat lower even then what is presented here.

There's one other tank that they have in reserve, the T-64... but as long as the manufacturer is in Ukrainian hands with all the know-how how to do proper maintenance on those tanks, let alone upgrade them, they won't be used much.

Also, for offensive actions they still need to use armour, without them they would be way too vulnerable. They just don't mass them together like they did before I hence less losses per day 

Edit: some clarifications and screenshots

Well it is an interesting year because

-We have heard for years that Russia is getting to its limits but this year everything is crumbling, from not having enough war material to not having the capicity to produce enough, financially it is getting harder especially to motivate new recruits.

-The peace deal, Putin is hitting Ukraine hard this winter but if the Ukranians can keep it steady then Spring can motivate them while Russians losing Morale especially with the shorter nights.

The war effort is stalling, and soon will be falling apart

Rusty Daggers are headed for Ukraine, but the effort to field low-cost cruise missiles could have big implications for the U.S. military.

Ukraine is about to become the recipient of thousands of low-cost cruise missles that will wreck hell on Russia. The Pentagon has figured out that it can give away cheap tech to other nations to aid their military efforts, instead of giving away the good stuff like Tomahawks. Lately, the United States has been helping Ukraine more and more due to pressure from Europe. Ukraine's military just keeps getting better and more capable.

I wouldn't give too much on the conquered land if I were you.

The terrain is highly susceptible to weather, so when it rains a lot it tens to get all swampy, making offensive actions very difficult and the icy weather tends to freeze the mud in the tracks and on the undercarriages of vehicles, making any offensive actions with them nigh impossible. The Germans learned these the hard way 80+ years ago, and this was also what ultimately stopped Ukraine's counteroffensive in late 2022; not the Russians directly, but the muddy weather making any offensive actions impossible.

Having said all this, these are of course good news, and I think it's getting more and more difficult for Russia to keep the war effort up like this.

Definitely agree, perhaps the increase in kills is a more insightful metric than the land thing.  

I had no prides Russia’s arsenal was so close to the bottom relative to where it started.

Seems you edited with graphs mostly about Tanks. By armor I meant all possible vehicles that could be used offensively. I will add some images of my own.

Basically Russia's armor combat efficiency is essentially the same as 2022. Recently armor pushes were too wasteful, so they stopped using it so much, and maybe with terrain changes or a final push coinciding with a breakthrough they might use armor again.

Bolded: Absolutely not, though I can understand it looking that way at first glance until you think about it for more than a second.

Just think about it: The number of armored vehicles is almost the same... but the army is over twice as large as it was before the war, which means there's roughly half as many armored vehicles per brigade now. Hence why they don't do so many armor pushes anymore: they don't have many left, storage depots are empty now and they know they can't produce them fast enough to recover the losses on the battlefield, so they hold them back as much as they can. They have basically become too precious to use them in general assaults now for Russia.

Also, replacing the equipment with some from storage ain't exactly like-for-like exchange. There's a huge difference between a BTR-90 and a BTR-60, or a BMP-3 and a BMP-1, so combat efficiency certainly suffered, too. Plus with how long those were out withering away in the taiga, they can have small invisible or barely visible defects from rusting away so long, further limiting their efficiency.
