Subject: Re: The changing winds of war
Tanks: Russia likely began the war with about 3,300 combat-ready tanks and has suffered confirmed losses of over 4,000, according to open-source trackers. While the defense industry can produce a few hundred new T-90M tanks per year, this is far outpaced by battlefield losses. As a result, Russia relies heavily on restoring and deploying old Soviet-era T-62s and T-55s.
Armored vehicles: Russia has lost thousands of armored vehicles and may deplete its pre-war reserves by the end of 2025.
Artillery: Ukrainian strikes on ammunition depots have significantly reduced Russia's advantage in artillery, though it still has a substantial arsenal.

Russia no longer utilizes massive tank and infantry attacks. Their strategy has evolved. Drones play a large part of Russian attacks. Drones have replaced the reliance upon artillery.
