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.

“The ‘intelligence services’ are stating an 8:1 ratio of Russian to Ukraine losses.”
The same ‘intelligence’ services that insisted that Trump ‘colluded’ with Russia, Hunter’s Laptop was fake, Russia would be a pushover, and Iraq had WMDs?
Anyway, we’re still waiting to see some EVIDENCE of these ‘huge’ Russian losses - like battlefields full of bodies, human waves, etc. Ukraine has drones, Europe has drones and satellites, and the Neocons have shitloads of drones and satellites.
...so where might this evidence of ‘huge’ Russian losses be found?
Total losses nyet ! Only stronker !!1
Exactly. We're still waiting and there's no evidence at all.
By the way, what are your estimate of the Russian losses ?
“By the way, what are your estimate of the Russian losses ?”
I don’t have an estimate, but I agree with BBC as they actually RESEARCHED IT (rather than taking Zelensky’s word), which is around 200,000.
“So 200k KIA’s are not huge losses ?”
0.1% of Russia’s population? Not for a war of this type, not at all.
