Tracking what is left of the soviet legacy at russian storage bases.

[Highmarsed @HighMarsed]

1/ List of (probably) all Russian storage bases sorted by type. I added some new bases but most of them only have trucks and armored vehicles. First of all: artillery, tanks and truck bases (the rest in the second tweet):

@Jonpy99 (54.963779, 83.108320) 50km from the 2456th

[Highmarsed @HighMarsed]

To be clear, this mostly concerns the remaining tanks at the 1311th, the 6018th and, to some extent, the 349th.

Recently I was chatting with @HighMarsed as we both noted that the IDs of the remaining tanks still in Russian storage depots can't be really trusted.
I mean, a few dozen T-80BVs and T-72Bs and they still haven't shipped them to factories to overhaul and reactivate them? Yeah no

Another 🧵. This time let's take a look at an Rocket and Artillery Warehouse near the town of Sazan'e. Big thanks to @HighMarsed, @Ath3neN0ctu4 and especially @Jonpy99 for helping me with identifying the vehicles there.

VKS's Military Transport Aviation and Ukraine's Long Range Strike campaign.

As the pressure has been growing ever since Ukraine carried it's first long range drone attacks December 2022, Russia has chosen to move its air assets away from the threat.

Mechanized assaults are now seen much less frequently. In part because Russian forces are trying to conserve equipment, but also because AFU has long optimized for defeating traditional mechanized attacks which invariably fail with high vehicle losses. 14/

Let me quickly explain what this video gets wrong about the current russian tank fleet.🧵

[Jompy @Jonpy99]

Holy shit this is so fucking infuriating, always the same "Russia has ran out of stuff" shit. Using my content while distorting what I say is just why I'm so fucking tired of trying to explain jackshit. https://t.co/yM62w7oxqt

4. Don't get me wrong—most of the useful equipment has already been removed from storage, and Russia is facing numerous challenges that could significantly worsen its situation or even lead to an end to the war. However, running out of tanks is not one of them.

Updated statistics for the Russian losses (destroyed + damaged + abandoned + captured) of its main AFV platforms, including detailed split of losses per model

[Highmarsed @HighMarsed]

@FilipSkotnica Yes, but they have not run out of tanks as I explained. The point is that even if they did not have any tanks left that would not be the end of the war for the russian army.

[Jakub Janovsky @Rebel44CZ]

The Russian losses of 152mm 2S19 Msta-S(M2) SPG have reached 300 - which is quite a lot considering that many artillery losses are likely to be undocumented.

152mm 2S19 Msta-S: 246
152mm 2S19 Msta-SM2: 54

A new feature for @WarSpotting has just dropped: ID Guides.

Want to know what differentiates a T-72B3 Obr. 2022 from a T-72B3 Obr. 2025 or a T-72B3A? Or just wondered what the myriad of 🇺🇦 UGVs actually look like? Don't worry, we've got you covered!

1/ Time to review Russian Armor Repair Plants (BTRZs)! Been a long time since the last time we checked them, and they’re crucial to the Russian war machine.
