Is Russia at risk of running out of tanks? | DW News 

putting an experienced crew in a tank it's not about russia

Agreed, I anticipate this would be a critical, limitting factor.

Russians are always training new recruits.

Let's not forget that Russia doesn't have the same amount of factories as the Soviet Union with an army of workers.

they dont have experienced crews.. they are all dead..

Though I agree with you. The Merkava doesn't 😝

If there is a small hatch left open for drones IT IS a Russian tank :)

Maybe. But still Russia has lost plentiful of IFVs along with tanks. Still, the only way Russia's tactics could work was as long as the Ukrainians had no ammo. Russians could take Avdiivka and Severodonets because the Ukrainians had supply issues. If the Russians can't cut the Lviv-Kyiv corridor, there is little they can do.

Ran out. First there were everyday and night missile attacks, then just went down to once a week, then a random retaliatory chimpout whenever russians lost territory or got humiliated one way or another, now you don't hear about rocket attacks more often than once in months because whatever russia can produce they want to stockpile for the winter "freeze the civilians" campaign against ukrainian electric network. Sounds like a pretty much good indicator they are out of them.

Have you not heard about the Shahed drones? Russia uses like 1 missile for every 20 Shahed drone to attack civilians. They also manufacture missiles so they won't completely run out ever.

They can't run out as long as they build new ones, but the amount used got reduced quite a bit since the start despite purchases, and own manufacturing. Not even talking about the quality.

They're going to North Korea to beg for more.

where are they using missiles? they can make about 30 per month, and they are using about 30 per month.

When that fails, they always have human power

Just like they were fighting with shovels. 🥴

they will probably get roller skates in 2025 😄

Crutches and wheelchairs in 2026.

Rubber knee-pads for crawling in 2027.

Without food in them !😢

And washing machines too

Oryx has photo and video evidence, geolocated, of 3139 russian MBT losses. So that's the bare minimum number we are working with, as of course not every loss has been seen on camera.

Russia now uses them in literally the same way, charge headlong towards Ukrainian lines, a BMP or MTLB blows up just as easily as a T72 if it gets hit by an FPV drone.

Oryx recorded over 12,000 all armoured loss for Russia, of those 3100 are MBT.

@@B.D.E. thats psychotic if you actually believe that those were serious losses.

​@@B.D.E.Most online analysis of current russian stock of military hardware especially tanks is wrong. This is because they didn't put into consideration the huge number of originally ukrainian tanks and other military hardware that Russia captured in the early stage of the war.

A blanket term for 'tracked military land vehicles'?

So? It’s not like there isn’t plenty of footage of Russian tanks exploding….

@@JMK948 A term already exists AFV.

Simple fools: I see tracks I say tank.

@@brunrodrigues if you are counting "not tanks" as being part of Russia's tank losses, then you are overestimating Russian tank losses.

And Golf Carts. They are attacking with golf carts. Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha

There are lots of shovels because they are burying so many dead Russians they cannot keep up.

@@boink800 That video was insane! They are truly crazy. They are driving straight into gunfire with motorcycles too. The notion they could ever win a war against NATO is just a joke. We outnumber already 2 to 1 in active soldiers without reserves.

God save us all

They run out of flags

I wonder how many of them break down due to mechanical error even before the reach the battlefield. 70 years of being parked outside does incredible damage.

Actually there is no diference to drones. The same happens against M1 and 2A6.

T-60 is a WW2 light tank made from 1942 to 1945 You are probably thinking about the T-64 main battle tank, I cannot blame you, you seem to have no idea what you are talking about so why would you know what tanks the Russians are using, they are using the same calibre gun 125mm so regardless your opinion of it, a 125mm shell is gonna cause a lot of damage whatever it hits, its better to have ANY tank than NO tank in combat.

And not to forget: these old stored tanks are often victims of corruption. Over the years, many parts inside the tanks have been stolen, cause nobody cared about them and nobody looked into them over years. There are interesting interviews with retired soldiers of those storage fields.

😊

@@123jogger123 In fact is the modern tanks that tend to have been looted. Their equipment is a lot more valuable.

Also very likely a big part of the stockpile has already been used as spare part donor so many of the reserve from the satellite photo's is no longer viable to refurbish.

Not just the weather, but also theft.

Do they are running out of photos too

That's true their classed really as battle taxis and why they can swim across water but mbts can't but of course Russia doesn't know how to use them

Russia has been losing IFV's at an alarming rate as well Their standard doctrine is 2 IFV's per tank on an assault So even if we believe that Russia losing 60 tanks per month, it makes sense that they are losing 100+ IFV's per month Personally, I believe that the numbers are higher

Exactly. They've been buring through those personal carriers as fast as tanks

Exactly, and Oryx is not counting IFV and APCs as tanks either, so, yes, the distinction is relevant.

Thats wrong in my mind. What we learned so far is that They give the protection to the infantry, they make holes in the blockades, destroy machine guns and other fortified positions. This can be replaced in part by rocket launchers and so on but not to an effective degree. Because u need too many, a BMP 1 can reload in 8 seconds while driving. This can't be beaten by rocket launchers to be used the person has to stop aim and shoot (smaller kaliber and harder to transport). For offense, they are needed defense, not so much cause u dont need as many rocket launchers, and u dont need to transport them at all.

​@@hbt739have you not seen how they've been picking off tanks one by one and if they don't pick them off they hit a mine. Same with aviation and navy, technology is reducing the effectiveness of all these to the point where we are regressing to men and trenches.

@@aldozilli1293 and if the tanks are through the kamikaze drones, artillery, rockets, minefields, there is infantry waiting with javelins and other rpg stuff. High cost weapon systems are getting taken out by way lower cost weapons. In front of our eyes the difference between being in a tank and being an a coffin is becoming marginal.

Yes it will be decided by economics. So Russia has already lost but this war will drag on for quite a few more years I'm afraid.

Drones and missiles are crucial for hitting strategic targets and disrupting enemy operations. However, you cannot advance or maintain control of territory without ground forces. Therefore, tanks and other land-based units are of paramount importance.

Doesn't need to move backwards if they're continuing to attrit.

@@guydreamr “attrit”? I dont know this word.

@@-Nobody-1 Well then - allow me to enlighten you: "Attrit: wear down or weaken (an opponent or enemy) by means of sustained action. 'his defense was designed to attrit us.' That's from Oxford Dictionary. Any more questions?

Initial Predictions: Russia would steamroll in and have Ukraine under control in less than a week. Reality: They've barely taken over a small sliver of the country in two and a half years, have lost an estimated 400-450,000 men, lost 1000's of pieces of artillery and Purin is now desperately groveling to North Korea. Bottom line_:Russia has proven to be a paper tiger with an ineffective military. And once they use up the rest of their ancient Soviet-era military equipment they are done.

Russia is down to using refurbished T-55 and T-62 tanks built during the USSR days in the 1960s and 1950s. The new Armata tank is a flop, less than 20 were built and several were destroyed.

​@@zhangyiping100so wha Russia vs whole of NATO 😂😂😂. NATO is out of weapons and money 😂😂

@@Leadbelly. Neither are you, Stepan Bandera.

It may be boring, but it's making the World safer, the Soviet stockpiles of MBT, IFV, BTR, munition, missile cruisers, Russia inherited are all being depleted, as are the toys Ukraine inherited, and those transferred by Hungary, Bulgaria, Poland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Germany, Finland, ... (nations once occupied by the Soviet Union) post the 1922 Italian, 1926 Berlin, and 1939 Moscow treaties, between Germany and USSR. If you take the Jan 31 Military Balance 2024 report, it states Russia had lost in excess of 3000 of the 4750 OPERATIONAL MBT it had at the start of 2020, to that date, Oryx shows a further 500 losses since the end of Jan. Which would suggest the inherited, functioning, stockpile is down to 1250, before you add new / re-manufactured tanks being churned out. Add the fitted diesel engines have an expected service life somewhere between 250 and 5000 hours before overhaul, depending on model, and the barrels are good for ~500 rounds, and much of the surviving fleet will need to return to be re-manufactured, as clocking up the operational hours, every day. At present rates Russia will be dependent on new / re-manufactured vehicles by mid 2025, the Soviet stockpiles then being exhausted. By the end of 2025 you'll likely only be able to find a: T-52, T-54, T-64, T-72, or T-80 in a museum, or tin-pot 3rd World Nation, ditto for Soviet IFV's. Russia having swapped some territory with China, for material aid, and given the amount of spare Russian territory, and the size of Chinas industrial complex, this Special operation, by the geriatric fool, will continue for months, at least till after the US elections, but will drain the Soviet stockpiles, and the Russian Sovereign wealth fund, as it will the other Soviet stockpiles, to make any other Special operations, far less likely. Armour not being cheap, and taxes to pay for more, even less popular than loosing Russian males, by the hundred thousand, to fulfil the fantasy of a a cognitively declining supreme leader.

Still looking at another 4 years plus this will continue

You think they're not out of missiles? Russia has to make a stockpile for each chimpout whenever they get mad at something and it's been that way for over a year now. They're literally firing them as they make them now.

That was not the MSM. That was the NMSM saying what the MSM was saying, kind of what you are doing now.

They've run out of trained soldiers, the VDV were malleted early on as an example. Russia is now throwing poorly trained conscripts and meat assaults at the UKE positions, heavy losses are a result of this. Remember according to Clauswitz the attacking force needs a 3 to 1 ratio to assault a defensive force. Yes the defenders are taking casualties, but the Orcs are likely taking three times as many iaw the ratios above. In other words Putler's war of aggression is completely unsustainable for his terrorist state. 3 day SMO hahahaha

⁠@@timphillips2902Than what happened during last summer when Ukraine launched it’s counteroffensive? Ukraine recieved hundreds of NATO tanks and armored vehicles, artillery etc. and 35-50k troops were trained by NATO yet they failed miserably… Foreign figters said that they’ve come up against “organized resistance and it was obvious from the very start that the enemy was very profssesional”… Many of these foreign fighters fled Ukraine after seeing the fierce resistance of the Russian army… Regarding “meat wave” attacks, these were carried out only by PMC Wagner comprising mostly of former inmates; according to BBC Mediazona out of 20.000 deaths recorded on the Russian side during the battle of Bakhmut, almost 90% were ex inmates… Btw it is the VDV that is assaulting Chasov Yar as we speak, so they are still here, don’t you worry 😊

And running out of missiles. They don't ask, "how many tanks does Ukraine produce?" Because the slow trickle (most of which is obsolete garbage like the Leopard 1 from the 1950s, to pad numbers hoping viewers/voters will confuse it with the much better, decades-newer Leopard 2) of tanks from the west, usually delivered months or up to a year after promised, cannot compete with Russia's production, even if Russia's production is at a lower rate than their losses. If they are still making tanks they can always continue the war, just with less intensity of tank fighting.

3000 available. 10000 in total including the ones in storage.

@@chefchaudard3580 Taking older models in account Russia may have up to 20000.

@@pacivalmuller9333 thé figure i had were about 2200 in service at the beginning of the war, 6 to 7000 in stock, including the obsolete T-54/55. These are estimates. There may be more in stock… or more unserviceable tanks.

They are not underestimating.. they're just feeding the future 🥩

what about underestimating your own forces, never fails!

Yes and ? It takes a while until their old cold war storages are deplete. They loos more the they can produce or refurbish so they have indeed been running out of tanks since two years. It just a matter of waiting an sending anti tank weapons to Ukraine. End of next year they will start to ration them.

so look Ivan, press this pedal to move forward, you won't need to move backwards so don't bother, you don't need to stir either, because you might accidentally get around the enemy mine, and don't shoot, a tank must remain fully loaded for a better firework, now get in Ivan, your Marussia has been waiting for a new Lada and a sack of potatoes for 2 days now, don't make her suffer in waiting

Jesus, at this point your comment might be actually how they "train" new troops@@skiddzjust1389

lol the whole point of the video is showing the numbers that they cannot be easily replaced and ruSSia is currently losing more than they are producing.

Vast majority of these tank losses include survived crew. It's quite rare for entire crew to get wiped out.

​@@skiddzjust1389 nothing you said makes sense

As a latinamerican is clear to see that putin war was a mistake. Dont you see the same cause is obvious to this side of the World

The prediction happened that russia would run out pretty much happened. Of course "running out" doesnt mean that nothing is in storage or that russia cant ever fire another missile in the war because they get continuesly produced, bought and basically never fully used up to make shure some are left just in case. Running out of something in a war more or less means that the current consumption cant be sustained and has to be reduced and that pretty much happened. Russias missile bombardment is pretty much gone in comparison to the beginning of the war.

So I can’t see your point, here.

no troops required to be put at risk to destroy a tank with an FPV drone ....

Ukraine will definitely run out of soldiers before Russia runs out of convicts to use as cannon fodder. Authoritarian states are GREAT at producing convicts - men can be convicted on trumped up charges.

Offence to Defence on average has a ratio of 3:1 meaning on average the country on offence will have 3 casualties for every 1 defence casualties. So if Ukraine remains on defence they should have enough personnel for a long time.

@@g3air3 FPV drones have a much shorter range than artillery, even old school basic field artillery. When weather isn't ideal (frequently, in Ukraine), they have a shorter range than some tanks. You see, on the news, the clip of the drone operator in their bunker, and it seems they are safe and isolated, but it's still a risky job. They still die in combat; it's not like the fantasy of invincibility that is presented. Safer than confronting the tank with an RPG, but still a risk.
