Can you tell where tank kills are coming from? Or what kind of weapon took them out?
Its been roughly 2.5 months since the start of the invasion.
At this loss rate — Russians will be out of tanks in another 2.5 months. Or roughly the beginning of august.
Might be for the better for them. Has there been an instance in this where tanks have proved to be decisive anywhere in Ukraine.
There are quite a few tanks in the Russian reserve stockpiles.
We do not know what state of repair they are in, or how many will be able to be brought into service.
That number could, reasonably, be between a few hundred and a few thousand.
Mostly its artillery that takes tracked vehicles out when they are parked on roads and open fields - most are spotted by UAVs on both sides. In the Donbas region, the UA lines over look the Orcs and from there they pound them.
The 1200 figure for tanks is only a guesstimate - there may be more or fewer.
see my post nest for more into.
One thing that is a bit unclear is what happens to those that have been captured/damaged.
My guess is that some of those that were temporarily in the possession of some Ukrainian farmers were later recaptured by the Russians. That may extend how many months the Russians can stay in this mess.

Some of the Soviet tanks obligingly destroy themselves. Not unlike how Soviet submarines tend to sink themselves.
