This startling shift reveals not only the staggering attrition of their mechanized reserves but also a desperate gamble to keep their offensives alive.<br>Over the past three years, Russians have lost an immense number of armored vehicles due to their intensive and prolonged offensive efforts, with Ukrainian military sources reporting that Russians have lost over 10,000 tanks and 21,000 armored vehicles. Recent statistics also show that Russian civilian and all-terrain vehicles make up an increasingly high percentage of these losses, an explanation for which can be found in the example of the now-empty stockpile of MT-LB amphibious armored personnel carriers, as well as the dwindling stockpiles of everything else. <br>Before the full-scale invasion, Russians had approximately 3,300 MT-LB vehicles in active service, with an additional two to 3,000 in reserve. Open-source researchers stated that over three years of intense fighting, geolocated footage confirmed the destruction of at least 1,483 of these vehicles. However, satellite images confirm that the storage locations of these vehicles are now empty, indicating that the actual number is likely double that, with the Russian pre-war stockpile completely emptied. <br>This means that the iconic MTLB will soon vanish from Russian service with, no possibility of replacement in case of damage or destruction, as Russian stockpiles of other armored vehicles dwindle equally. In response, some Russian commanders have acted to conserve their decreasing reserves of armored vehicles at the expense of the lives of their soldiers who have to advance without sufficient armored support. <br>Regular Russian soldiers on the ground are forced to seek alternatives to mechanized vehicles, as moving across the open fields is suicide in the age of drone warfare. Russians initially procured Chinese military transport vehicles to compensate; these light, all-terrain vehicles had superior mobility to Russian armored vehicles, but since they were unarmored, they were left vulnerable to artillery shrapnel and small arms fire, which led to even higher rates of losses. As these stockpiles drained even more rapidly, many Russian units resorted to conducting assaults in Soviet-era civilian vehicles, including Bukhanka vans and Lada cars, as their only means of transport...."</p><p>More in the description on their YT-page</p><p><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/SlavaUkraini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SlavaUkraini</span></a> ! <a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/HeroyamSl%C3%A1va" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>HeroyamSláva</span></a>! <br><a href="https://climatejustice.social/tags/RussiaIsATerroristState" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>RussiaIsATerroristState</span></a></p>
