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.
Blow up ad cardboard tanks
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.
Exclusive: Russia producing three times more artillery shells than US and Europe for Ukraine
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.
