I don’t believe this, unless you substitute China for the word Russia in the headline.
Well, the title is partially right. The math is ugly. I’ll bet the author also thinks that slowing the growth rate of government equals making it smaller. By the presented math the Russians have had a net loss of approx 12000 AFV,, not an increase. Sure they pulled 13000 out of storage. Those vehicles already existed; they don’t represent a net increase. Also ,massive glossing over of the operational worth of these vehicles, many of which are early model T-62s and BMPs. They’ve started pulling some T-55s if what you hear is to be believed.
I’m not dismissing the West’s inexplicable decision the not increase production of AFVs in the face of Russian and Chinese aggression. Maybe it’s a shift in doctrine, what with the rise of drones and all. It’s all above my pay grade. I’d be more interested in knowing those comparable numbers in the drone arena, than having an article with dubious math flopped in front of me which is closer to a propaganda piece than actual journalism .
The article points out that Russia is “replacing” its lost vehicles with very old “restromods” very few new ones.
Russia can’t protect its internal production and infrastructure.
I suppose one could claim that attacking with golf carts, motorcycles and meat waves is winning, bet soldiers would disagree
People aren’t keeping up, we have links to old articles on this thread, one that is almost 2 years old.

Looks like some of the production is in Poland. Not sure where the serious metal work is happening.
Poland is the only sizable Euro country taking the Russian seriously.
The Krauts discovered the same sort of thing in the 1940s.

Yah.
Vlad might disrupt the biolabs, MittNancyLGrahamHunters pipelines along with the DNC hacker farms, military and humanitarian aid kickbackers, money launderers, Epsteins 13 year old high cheekbone Ukranian girls, gun runners and drug dealers. All the reasons we love Ukranians.
Almost forgot the Nazis. We don’t mind that sh!t no more, either.
