Russian losses of military equipment in the war in Ukraine have led to the dependence of the aggressor state of russia on outdated and poorly maintained equipment from the Soviet era. British intelligence has published satellite images confirming a significant reduction in the number of armored vehicles at tank depots in Arsenyev, Buya and Ulan-Ude since 2022.
This was reported by the Ministry of Defense of Great Britain.
Thus, it is indicated that the losses of russian military equipment in Ukraine continue to grow. Since February 2022, russia has lost more than 3,600 main battle tanks and almost 8,000 armored vehicles.
"This has led to a dependence on outdated and poorly maintained Soviet-era equipment from strategic depots. Armored vehicles are being taken out of storage, modernized where possible, and sent to the front," the report says.
It is noted that satellite images confirm a significant reduction in the number of armored vehicles at tank depots in Arsenyev, Buya, and Ulan-Ude since 2022.
