Stream T-90, T-80, T-72: The expert explained how the Armed Forces receive a "giant" number of tanks
The overwhelming majority of T-90, T-80 and T-72, which are fighting in the Russian-Ukrainian war, are repaired by a hurry and have improper quality. Alexander Kovalenko told about whether the Russian army is receiving enough tanks, a military analyst and coordinator of the information resistance on Facebook.
Kovalenko claims that media reports of the "giant" number of tanks coming to the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation are an exaggeration that does not correspond to the real state of things. For example, there is no "560%growth". The same can be said about the statements of the deputy chairman of the Russian Council Dmitry Medvedev, who named the figure of 1 600 units per year (ie 133 per month).
In fact, you need to pay attention to what the Russian military is received - whether they are new cars, or old, but upgraded or repaired. In general, the analyst found that a month of Russian MIC is capable of giving the armies about 200 tanks of different types. The vast majority of them are not new, but old but restored. In this case, the amount of old and the quality of their repair are reduced, as the factories come to the worse machines.
Kovalenko's explanations are based on the following considerations: the military analyst named the actions of the Russian Security Service of Ukraine "Uroboros": he will "eat" himself, gradually using all the old tanks and not producing new ones. "As a result, the poor quality of this technique creates many problems with Russian occupation troops and increases the likelihood of its destruction, while the stocks are not limitless (as well as their quality). Urobosoros of Russian tank construction.
More precisely, tanko-restoration," Kovalenko wrote. It should be noted that in December 2023 Western experts estimated how many tanks are available in the Russian Federation. They also drew attention to the "jump" of the Russian MIC, which produced 200 new armored vehicles before the war, and then - 10 times more. The analysis showed that the information in Roszma and Kremlin representatives is not true.
Meanwhile, in the fall of 2023 it became known that the Russians are trying to revive the technology for the production of the T-80-use the available equipment that has been standing since Soviet times. Recall that on February 6, Forbes reported that Russian troops were brought to the T-55 tanks on the battlefield: they were noticed in Kherson when they dived them on the FPV-Dron of the Armed Forces.
