It is not necessary to pay too much attention to the proud reports of the Russia...

"Like new", but not quite. Why Russia cannot produce from scratch the amount of BBM sufficient to compensate for losses

It is not necessary to pay too much attention to the proud reports of the Russian media about the introduction of a new, modern armored vehicles, warns by military observer Alexander Kovalenko. As the strict reality shows, much of it is not new and not modern, and in principle, its stocks are exhausted. After a break, the Russian Ministry of Defense decided to sway with the supply of "new", "modern" equipment.

Thus, according to the official website of the MoD of Russia, the CVA units in 2024 received 150 BMP and APC. I emphasize, as stated - "new" and "modern". Further, according to the modifications: that is, of 150 cars for CVO zero, that is, made from scratch, there can be 100, and not the fact that there are no machines that were damaged from the database, which were damaged from the database zone, repaired and returned to the "new ".

Previously, I published the production of BBM production at Russian enterprises and taking into account the voice information of the Russian Federation only on the CBO, I can answer that the situation has not changed absolutely. The capacity of Russian enterprises did not reach the level of production from scratch of so much BBM that would compensate for the loss of this category of equipment in Ukraine, and the main rate was always on the reconciliation of Soviet reserves.

I will note that in 2022 the loss of BBM in the jar amounted to 5 222 cars. In 2023 - 5 003. In 2024 - 8 956. According to approximate estimates, in warehouses and storage centers in Russia can still be up to 3 thousand relatively repair BBM type BMP-1/2/3, BTR-60/70/80, BMD-1/2/3. But their restoration, because of the state, though repaired, but not the best, requires more time, man-hours and expenses, even at the level of cannibalism.
