Russian losses higher than expected? Satellite images show immense “rate of wear”. Russia stored around 4,450 tank artillery pieces in the most important bases before the war.

The number has now fallen to 2,961. The sharp decline suggests that Russia had to withdraw a large number of the equipment due to high wear and tear and losses. Russia's war is emptying stocks, the analyst cannot say when they will finally be empty or when effects will be felt at the front.
