Don’t forget to subscribe, you won’t get this kind of information with other media outlets. Russia’s tank fleet remains large and sustainable despite heavy wartime losses. Uralvagonzavod now produces 250–300 new T-90Ms annually, while refurbishing hundreds of older T-72s, T-80s, and T-62s, though higher-end stocks are dwindling. Chinese industrial support sustains optics and electronics, while sanctions bottlenecks persist. The T-14 Armata remains sidelined due to cost and performance doubts. Drone strikes have little effect on production, and while tactics have shifted, tanks still play a valued, adaptable role in modern Russian operations
