  23.  @Warren_Peace  "But they did say that the Russians are running out of tanks." Who are "they"? "There was even a story that majority of Russia's tanks were inoperational due to lack of maintenance..." If that was true, and Russia built up its refurbishment capacity, this may explain why more tanks have hit the streets now. "Ukrainian and Nato claims of tank and armored vehicles kills(about 5000+) are so exaggerated that they have now no explanation as to how the same exact units that were supposed to be "wiped out" still have decent amount of tanks to send to the field...." 5000 tanks and 10000 other armored vehicles, yes. Idk why you think that's exaggerated, or why it would mean Russia has no reserves. "The Military Balance 2021 database says Russian storage facilities have around 10,200 tanks, including various T-72s, 3,000 T-80s, and 200 T-90s. The database’s 2016 publication also indicates that Russia has roughly 2,800 Cold War legacy T-55s (the first tank type to feature a nuclear warfare protection system in the 1950s) in storage, as well as 2,500 T-62s and 2,000 T-64s. This means that Russia may have around 17,300 tanks produced between the late 1950s and now." 10,200 decently modern tanks and perhaps 4,000 killed (the rest being older) means Russia has only wasted 40% of them. Ukraine's reporting had a low in April with only 84 Russian tanks and 212 armored vehicles destroyed. The high is in October with 520 tanks and 820 armored vehicles. "Heck, even Ukraine had lost so many tanks that they mainly just send their infantry without armored support into Russian lines and just kept them in reserve...." Aren't you making the same error as you accuse "them" of doing: Looking at current battles and drawing conclusions on reserves? AFAIK, Ukraine has kept most of its armor in reserve since the current reality is that mines and anti-armor helicopters makes it very difficult to use tanks effectively. So they're working with infantry, drones and artillery for the time being, and will throw in armored pushes only when the conditions are right for breakthroughs.
