1
00:00:01,579 --> 00:00:02,580
Tanks...
2
00:00:02,580 --> 00:00:07,609
So, the total number of Western tanks being
transferred to Ukraine has already exceeded
3
00:00:07,609 --> 00:00:11,830
300, i.e., more than 3 full-fledged brigades.
4
00:00:11,830 --> 00:00:15,870
But, how is the enemy in the tank issue?
5
00:00:15,870 --> 00:00:21,039
But it is due to its tank fists that Russia
is able to carry out both offensive and defensive
6
00:00:21,039 --> 00:00:22,050
operations.
7
00:00:22,050 --> 00:00:27,869
Meanwhile, the shortage of tanks in the Russian
army is becoming critical.
8
00:00:27,869 --> 00:00:31,900
Tanks disappear as a mandatory staff member
of a unit.
9
00:00:31,900 --> 00:00:36,920
At the time of the invasion of Ukraine, according
to various sources, the Russian army had up
10
00:00:36,920 --> 00:00:40,710
to 3,300 combat-ready tanks.
11
00:00:40,710 --> 00:00:48,420
To date, according to the AFU General Staff,
3,180 Russian tanks have been destroyed.
12
00:00:48,420 --> 00:00:52,320
According to Oryx - 1,650.
13
00:00:52,320 --> 00:00:56,970
I would like to note that Oryx records only
those vehicles whose destruction, damage or
14
00:00:56,970 --> 00:00:59,730
trophy status is documented.
15
00:00:59,730 --> 00:01:04,659
On the other hand, the equipment left to rust
in the temporarily occupied territories, or
16
00:01:04,659 --> 00:01:07,689
taken to the dumps in Russia is not recorded.
17
00:01:07,689 --> 00:01:11,700
The fact that there is a growing shortage
of tanks in enemy units confirms the huge
18
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:16,140
tank losses of the enemy, which are comparable
to the losses of all combat potential and
19
00:01:16,140 --> 00:01:21,390
the transition to the use of canned resources
from warehouses and storage centres.
20
00:01:21,390 --> 00:01:26,490
That is, there is a tank crisis in Russia,
but how will they solve it?
21
00:01:26,490 --> 00:01:31,490
To remove tanks from storage and preservation,
after all according to open data Russia has
22
00:01:31,490 --> 00:01:35,420
about 15,000 different tanks in storage.
23
00:01:35,420 --> 00:01:39,630
It would seem that you can reactivate them
and attack, but no.
24
00:01:39,630 --> 00:01:44,090
The fact is that the vast majority of these
tanks were in storage in terrible conditions
25
00:01:44,090 --> 00:01:46,700
and simply cannot be restored.
26
00:01:46,700 --> 00:01:50,450
Another part requires maintenance and repair.
27
00:01:50,450 --> 00:01:55,680
In fact, only about 20% of all the available
tanks can be recovered from the Russian storage
28
00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:57,170
centers.
29
00:01:57,170 --> 00:02:00,549
Roughly speaking this is up to 3,000 tanks.
30
00:02:00,549 --> 00:02:07,469
Again, this is a serious number for restoration
of combat effectiveness of the Army, but still...
31
00:02:07,469 --> 00:02:12,610
Repair of these tanks and return them to combat-ready
condition takes time.
32
00:02:12,610 --> 00:02:18,670
For example, the T-72 can take anywhere from
two weeks to a month to recover from mothballing.
33
00:02:18,670 --> 00:02:23,940
The T-80 has a more complicated process and
is on average a month.
34
00:02:23,940 --> 00:02:28,709
In addition, in most cases the restoration
takes place in a cannibalistic format, that
35
00:02:28,709 --> 00:02:32,000
is, parts from other tanks are used.
36
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,739
Such a format is particularly common when
restoring the T-64, as well as the T-62.
37
00:02:38,739 --> 00:02:43,620
It is worth noting that the T-62s are the
easiest and fastest to restore, but they are
38
00:02:43,620 --> 00:02:48,000
completely out of step with the challenges
and level of modern warfare.
39
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:52,550
But the Russians have no other choice, it
is the T-62s that can be sent to the front
40
00:02:52,550 --> 00:02:53,550
the fastest.
41
00:02:53,550 --> 00:02:59,410
As a result, the Russian army is facing a
serious problem: an unprecedented shortage
42
00:02:59,410 --> 00:03:01,020
of tanks.
43
00:03:01,020 --> 00:03:05,950
It is trying to solve this problem at the
expense of "friendly" countries, such as Belarus,
44
00:03:05,950 --> 00:03:08,590
but there is already a deficit.
45
00:03:08,590 --> 00:03:11,780
And now, the most interesting thing.
46
00:03:11,780 --> 00:03:16,090
Ukraine at the current stage of assistance
from international partners will receive more
47
00:03:16,090 --> 00:03:18,640
than 300 modern tanks.
48
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:23,750
And, what can Russia counter this tank potential
within the same period of time?
49
00:03:23,750 --> 00:03:29,299
Old tanks, which in a hurry will not even
all be equipped with dynamic protection?
50
00:03:29,299 --> 00:03:33,319
But the main thing is that Russia will not
be able to provide what it has always tried
51
00:03:33,319 --> 00:03:35,299
to win - mass.
52
00:03:35,299 --> 00:03:40,260
It does not have the ability to create a numerical
imbalance of the Main battle tank in a combat
53
00:03:40,260 --> 00:03:41,640
zone.
54
00:03:41,640 --> 00:03:45,830
We are witnessing a gradual, but steadily
growing imbalance.
55
00:03:45,830 --> 00:03:49,580
Now we are witnessing a qualitative imbalance.
56
00:03:49,580 --> 00:03:53,480
But the main thing is that Russia will not
be able to provide what it has always tried
57
00:03:53,480 --> 00:03:54,680
to win with.
58
00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:59,290
It cannot provide mass - it does not have
the ability to create a numerical imbalance
59
00:03:59,290 --> 00:04:01,280
in the combat zone.
60
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:04,720
We are witnessing a gradual, but steadily
growing imbalance.
