More than 4,500 cars: OSINT researchers have calculated the number of tanks in the Russian Federation (photo)
Researchers analyzed the number of tanks that have the enemy, the average pace of exhaustion and the pace of reconciliation. 95% of the databases in the Russian Federation were investigated. On the central bases of the tank reserve, 3150 tanks were found, another 1300-1500 cars stand on the waiting platforms and near the shops of armored repair plants. The average pace of tanks is 44-75 units per month. According to analysts, this is enough to cover current losses.
There is evidence that it is a ceiling for Russian factories. They can not restore, modernize or produce tanks. They rest in the chronic lack of working staff, increased equipment wear and deficiency of western components through sanctions. The authors emphasize that the calculations were as conservative as possible and covered everything that can be restored hypothetically. The technical condition of 3150 tanks at the reserve base is often doubtful.
