Russia has more armored vehicles now than in 2022. The math is ugly.

The Russian military has more armored vehicles than it did on the eve of Russia's wider war on Ukraine in February 2022. And for one main reason.

Despite losing as many as 16,100 vehicles in action in Ukraine, the Russians have more than compensated for these losses by pulling nearly 13,000 old vehicles out of long-term storage—and complementing these older vehicles with around 4,000 brand-new vehicles.

NATO has still not come to grips with this is a real war. Russia is treating it like that. NATO is still on the strategy of posturing, threats, speeches, and promises.

No-one in NATO is currently producing new tank or IFV hulls, for example.

The "new" vehicles are refits, just like the Russians are pulling things out of storage.

But the Russians are also producing 1000+ new vehicles per year.

David Axe is likely the most PRO-UKRAINE reporter in the media, and HE is the one stating this.

...yet, just today, we had a Zeeper claiming that Russia is of military vehicles.

The OBVIOUS question is: Why haven’t these Zeepers been Zotted, considering their non-stop LIES on this site.

[Kudsman]

Probably because they have been using USAID money to contribute $20 a quarter? It should be drying up soon.

Yep. The Zeepers are deranged, out of touch with reality.

Ukraine is one of the most corrupt countries in the world. They span the gamut—everyone from hackers scamming Americans, to grifters and thieves in high places, exporting whores and call girls, thieves, and hit men.

Obviously. There are just a lot of people who want flattering and re-assuring stories from Media “authorities”. The reality doesn’t matter (look at the British Press).

The other problem is that NATO had a deterrent value before 2022 with the Russians making assumptions about capabilities which clearly do not exist.

After almost 4 years and plenty of promises, NATO in aggregate has not come CLOSE to any of the military production committments.

The Russians now know that.

But remember - Zeepers like to tell us that even NY City has higher GDP ($2.2 Trillion) than that of all of Russia ($2.1 Trillion)!

Even though NY City produces no vehicles, no tanks, no airplanes, no missiles, no energy, no ships, no microchips, grows no food, etc. etc.

But they DO trade a lot of bonds and stocks at a margin, which shows up in GDP figures

so I guess that makes NY City stronger than Russia.

Haven’t you heard ?

The important gdp for military in 2025 are credit default swaps, subprime securitization, OnlyFans Subscriptions and retail margins on imported crap.

Your post reminded me of this comic. :-)
