VIDEO: Is Russia Running Out Of Tanks? “Their initial satellite images showed a total of 6107 tanks in all depots in 2021, whereas their most recent count only shows 3,345. However: ‘Virtually every one of these tanks left is in absolutely horrible condition. Before the war it was probably closer to 50/50, but those good ones since have been the ones that were grabbed from storage first.’ They also note that the initial number was almost certainly higher than the ones they could count, as they were probably better vehicles stored in garages. They estimate that pretty much all of those are now gone.”

Probably true, but I’m not sure how much it matters. Drone warfare hasn’t made tanks obsolete, but they also aren’t needed in the same numbers as before.
