Destroy faster than produces: the Russian Federation can stay without BMP in 6 months - Forbes

Last Saturday, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lost at once 70 cars of damaged and destroyed. Among the lost equipment are 16 tanks and 29 BMPs and APPs at once. On the same day, Ukraine lost 30 pieces of equipment, mostly trucks, 2 tanks and 1 APC. The author is asked if there is such a level of loss of armored vehicles for the Russian Federation. And he believes that not, because the production of equipment continues to lag behind the level of loss.

Now most of the equipment in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is restored from non -infinite stocks. The HighMarser analyst in X analyzed satellite images to track the equipment in warehouses. He came to the conclusion that the Kremlin has already restored 1081 BMPs of 4811 units that are stored. However, out of 3730 BMP units, at least 765 looked like they could not be repaired.

At the rate of losses that were in 2022-2023, which is 80 BMP per month and production of 30-40 BMP per month, the Kremlin risks staying without BMP for 2 years. But now the losses in technology are such that the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation lose as much equipment as never before. The rate of loss of combat vehicles of the infantry is about 400 BMP per month. Therefore, armored vehicles will remain for 6 months.

The Ukrainian military, as they write in the publication, despite all the difficulties with the receipt of Western assistance, not just hold on, but win in the war for exhaustion. We will remind, on February 4 the media wrote that the Russian Federation has collected 500 tanks and 600 BMP for the offensive on Kupjansk. Their goal is to go to the Oskil River.
