Journalists said that the lost three thousand tanks is the equivalent of all the pre -war active inventory of Russia. However, the country has enough lower quality armored vehicles in warehouses. "Moscow was able to exchange quality for quantity by pulling down thousands of old tanks at a speed that could sometimes reach 90 tanks a month," the International Institute for Strategic Studies said.
In addition, the report reports that Moscow can replace the destroyed equipment of the lower technical standard without the ability to produce new equipment for three years. According to Military Balance, there are 1750 main combat tanks in service of the Russian Federation-from T-55 ten years ago to modern T-80 and T-90. In total, there are 4,000 units in the storage.
Singapore defense analyst Alexander Nel said that one of the main questions is how many of the most perfect tanks remained in Russia for any major offensive operations. We will remind, on January 4 at The Washington Post reported that the Russian Federation can transfer the DPRK to various military equipment for ballistic missiles.
