"Russia's Tank Losses in Ukraine Force Shift to Quantity Over Quality"

Despite significant losses in armored vehicles, Russia has been able to replenish its inventory by reactivating thousands of stored vehicles, allowing it to sustain its assault on Ukraine at current attrition rates for another 2-3 years. However, this strategy comes at a cost as the refurbished and stored legacy equipment is often quite old, forcing Russia to sacrifice quality for quantity. The Russian military has also faced challenges in recruitment efforts, with persistently high casualty rates keeping most units below establishment strength and conscripts complaining about poor training and equipment.
