Ukraine has more tanks than Russia now

 Streiff:

The Ukrainian battlefield of Putin’s War is incredibly lethal. In the sixty days since Putin’s three-to-four day invasion of Ukraine started, Russia has had 1,700 vehicles or major pieces of equipment destroyed and another 1,200 captured. Tanks losses numbered 560 destroyed and 214 captured, while losses of infantry fighting vehicles/armored personnel carriers come to 930 destroyed and 330 captured. These are not estimates; these are floor numbers that have been counted and geocoded. By the same methodology, Ukraine has lost at least 200 tanks destroyed and 70 captured, along with 790 infantry fighting vehicles/armored personnel carriers destroyed and 90 captured. No one really knows how many vehicles have been lost to combat damage or wear-and-tear. (For the full inventory, I recommend this link.)

By way of scale, Russia entered the war with about 120 Battalion Tactical Groups (BTG)) representing approximately 75% of the Russian Army’s combat power as well as the cutting edge of that power. Keep in mind that this is not a Russian Army affair; there is Naval Infantry from as far away as Vladivostok as well as troops of the Rosgvardiya, or the National Guard of Russia (read more about that august body in this post, Top General in Putin’s Personal Army Is Arrested by FSB)....

The tank losses alone represent all the tanks in 70 BTGs.

This lethality is why the Ukrainian government has been screaming for more weapons from anyone who has them. Not just munitions, like Javelin or Starstreak, but tanks, infantry fighting vehicles, and artillery. (Read Cutting Edge Weapons Are Being Sent to Ukraine by the US and Britain, But Is It What They Really Need?.) There have been a lot of fits and starts, we all know the on-again-off-again story of the transfer of MiG fighters belonging to Poland, Bulgaria, and Slovakia to Ukraine *Biden Junta Duplicity Revealed After Poland Declares MiGs for Ukraine Are Ready to Go). But now it looks like things are headed in the right direction unless you are one of those who think Putin’s invasion is justified.

...

As incredible as it may seem, Ukraine now outnumbers Russia in the number of tanks on the battlefield.

...

Russia's use of tanks has been unimaginative sending them in single file down narrow roads where they have no maneuverability.  They become easy targets for anti-tank weapons or for Ukrainian tanks.  The anti-tank weapons provided by the US and other NATO countries have been devastating allowing the tanks to be destroyed from a distance.  The anti-tank weapons also exploit the vulnerability of the Russian design of their tanks.
