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.

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.
“Euromaiden Press ^ | 2 Dec 2025 | David Axe”
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.
Probably because they have been using USAID money to contribute $20 a quarter? It should be drying up soon.
Blow up ad cardboard tanks
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. :-)
Exclusive: Russia producing three times more artillery shells than US and Europe for Ukraine
All sides in this are corrupt. Biden, Putin, Zelensky. Biden encouraged it, and didn’t want it to end. Trump wants it to end. Pootie and Z don’t want to let it end.
Yeah, they have also been having “production delays” at the new GD factorh in Texas.

If I were writing this article, it wouldn't be about armored vehicles. It would be about how I've noticed that in videos lately I've seen the same things over and over again. Namely, Russian troops on motorbikes and in light cars and trucks with the doors ripped off.
By contrast, I then see Ukrainian troops still moving around in armored APCs and cars/trucks with doors. The latter are magnets for drones, which can take out a whole squad at once inside the vulnerable, slow APCs. In the car/truck drone videos typically the last thing I see are doors being flung open, but without time for the occupants to emerge from the vehicle.
Meanwhile the Russian motorbikes and doorless cars are much lighter and more agile and you can only hit one soldier at a time on a bike. The soldiers are also able to fling themselves clear at the last second from the doorless vehicles.
I've seen a lot of comments from westerners mocking the stripped down Russian approach, as if continuing to use up expensive Western military vehicles is an intelligent approach. It is not.
But Russia, which is in bed with North Korea, a country that has entire families from the aged to infants inside concentration work camps, is not more corrupt than Ukraine?
Russia, which is in bed with Xi, the world’s biggest supplier of slave labor and which harvests the organs of political prisoners and religious people ...is not
more corrupt than Ukraine?
Russia, which is led by a former KGB AGENT who spent his entire career fighting the United States, a man who has enriched himself with the wealth of the Russian people in ways even beyond the dreams of Illinois’ porky crook Prickster, and who is responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of Russian conscripts, not to mention Ukrainians, is not more corrupt than Ukraine?
Russia, which supports Iran, a country led by revolutionaries who have been engaged in bloody proxy wars with the US, Israel, their own Persian people, and who were working with the dictatorships of Syria and North Korea to develop nuclear technology in a bid to blackmail democracies around the globe ...is not
more corrupt than Ukraine, whose corruption seems to be mostly linked to traitors with an interest in serving Russia for favors and working with the Russian mafia?
Russia, which along with China and the Biden’s and Obama and Soros, propped up the regimes of Castro, Hugo Chavez and Maduro and now the corrupt Lula de Silva in Brazil?
You have your head jammed so far up your nether regions in denial of reality that you cut off oxygen to your brain.
Aren’t the Poles building new tanks? And buying some from SK?
