How close is Russia to running out of tanks? How quickly is it able to replace losses?

How close is Russia to running out of tanks? How quickly is it able to replace losses? Analysts have been studying these questions ever since the Russian incursion into Ukraine in 2014 and its annexation of Crimea, which gave Western analysts their first chance to get a good look at the Russian military since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. Now, after three years of conflict in eastern Ukraine and one year into Russia’s intervention in Syria, some pundits are starting to declare that Russian military power has peaked, or perhaps that it never was as strong as its political leaders claimed. So where does Russia really stand? 

Russia had, as per Western sources, exactly 2,800 dynamic tanks, in addition to a further 10,000 away.

The Ukrainian MoD professes to have obliterated or caught 1,856 of those. The numbers are most likely swelled; a more safe gauge says around 1,500.

Russia can undoubtedly supplant that number of tanks. Be that as it may, what here is: not all tanks are made equivalent. The ones recorded as "away" are predominantly Soviet-period tanks where appropriate upkeep has not been finished for a long time. They are without a doubt dangerous weapons, however their plan is 50 years old. It will require investment to get them working appropriately and delivered to the front, and they will be more defenseless against hostile to tank weapons. Also, Russia presently misses the mark on parts to modernize tanks, fabricate new tanks, or even to do legitimate upkeep on old tanks.

What's more, not all tank teams are made equivalent. At the point when you lose a tank in battle, the group is dead — Russian tanks have the team sitting on top of the ammunition, so there's seldom even sufficient left to recognize them. Russia's best tank administrators are dead.
