His Russian army is actively used to solve the combat missions of the troops, first in the offensive, as well as in defense, as a massive general means of conducting active, decisive and dynamic fighting. However, it can be seen recently that the number of units of this military equipment has decreased significantly: this conclusion reached the OSINT Researcher Richard Vereker on March 20.
The analyst traced data on the loss of Russian tanks on the battlefield and saw that in recent months the losses of the T-72 have begun to decline rapidly and fell to zero by March. On his page, the X Network has also published an infographic, which can be seen that the T-80 tanks now account for 2/3 of losses in March. "Losses among Russia's tanks illustrate an unusual picture: the T-80 now accounts for 2/3 of this month.
However, the total tank losses have decreased over several months, so perhaps a bigger question is where T-72?",-the analyst said. He also adds that there are no special losses of such mass mass tanks for the Russian army T-72 in recent months, which is why Vereker has come to the conclusion that there are few such weapons at the front of the Russian-Ukrainian war. "Apparently, it indicates that a few new T-72 of this type falls on the front line," the researcher said.
The Ural 72 is the main combat tank of the second generation that the Soviet army adopted in 1973. It was created on the basis of the T-64A, however, compared to its predecessor, the T-72 has become cheaper and easier to use the version. At one time, the T-72 tanks became widespread both in Russia and in other countries, including those that were part of the Warsaw Pact States.
