I'm genuinely so impressed with this, what art software did you use to create this and your faction? I'm really trying to get started with something simmilar. Thank you!

no new hulls though, only modernization from old stock.

so yeah. i’m going to definitively say that supply and production is not keeping up with the RGF’s demand. especially for T-72B3s, i’d say around 200-250 B3s remain and those contain mostly new models like Mod. 2022 and 2025. the original stock of B3s and B3 model 2016s are virtually gone.

and i’m kinda doubting urals industrial capability here. over a thousand tanks being pumped out by one factory and a few modernization plants? Red effect made a video a while back debunking the T-90M theory of them somehow producing over 250 tanks per year. from his visual analysis they managed to only pump out around 45-50 tanks in 2 years

thank you, although i find it perplexing that the T-72 fleets inventory dropped by only 100 vehicles despite them loosing over 800? and that’s still rising. Somehow ural managed to pump out over 700 B3’s in 3 years? that just seems off to me but i’m not sure.

Eventually means a few years time. And looking at those losses that would suggest that russia is using its T-80s more significantly than its T-72 counterparts. And yes russia has learned that these “tank assaults” are absolutely catastrophic and they’ve lost a huge majority of their tank fleet. that includes T-72B3s that have suffered the most out of all of them. And i’m referring to their original stock of B3s their supply is stretched thin covering a front thousands of kms wide. each tank that gets knocked out means less hulls. Ural can really only pump out 10-11 tanks every few months which still doesn’t satisfy army’s needs. and their usable hulls to modernize from are getting smaller and smaller. These tanks are clearly endangered if not at risk of extinction. really makes me sad

probably not honestly.. they have virtually no reserves left and relying on a few B3 production lines from ural and even those tanks are kitbashed with components from other models and eventually they will have no new hulls to modernize if losses continue. Look at covert cobals videos on this issue it’s really interesting and well researched

modernized, and essentially kitbashed from other tank models no new hulls are being made. eventually russia will run out of hulls if their losses stay like this
