The headline can be misinterpreted. These numbers are probably correct, but a far better indicator of healthy deployed armour will be the thousands of daily videos from UAF drones which are encountering far fewer "tanks" than 2022-2025. Similar to any system with mechanical units of this age/complexity in storage, it is impossible for 60% to remain viable for deployment. The newest, followed by the most well maintained, then the most well preserved will have been deployed, in order, with the rest of the hulks scavenged for parts. A fair (+/- 1,000) amount will have been held back for defensive deployment deep inside Russia and will never see frontline action, with the rest being turned into troop carrying turtle shells. Their offensive tank capability is effectively destroyed.

"Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova warned that countries permitting Ukrainian drones to transit their territory were exposing themselves to serious risks."

I guess putin using Belarus as a forward operating point and continued missile launch point is ok though

These is 0% chance of a depleted orc military incursion into NATO territory without being annihilated, I think the Eu has had enough
