If Russia werent getting spanked, they wouldnt be hauling T-62s and T55s from their boneyards, as we are seeing lots of these on FPV drone footage.

There are a couple of good videos out by a guy who analyzes satellite images of the contents of Russian tank and artillery boneyards. Interesting stuff. In short these have been largely emptied. Long term storage has been turned into in-process inventory and current equipment. And THAT is because all the current equipment, as of 2022, has been lost, and moreover this turnover seems to have happened a couple of times over.

So much so that it seems the current common chassis for reconditioning has become the T62. All the old T72 and T80 chassis, that are worth an overhaul, seem to have been taken.
