Russia's military tank reserves, which have been significantly depleted since the start of the Ukraine war, might be running out. Summary and Key Points: Russia's military tank reserves, which have been significantly depleted since the start of the Ukraine war, might be running out. Satellite imagery analysis and recent reports indicate a substantial reduction in Russia's tank numbers, with older models like the T-62 and T-54/55 being reactivated to compensate for losses. Moreover, Russia isn't producing tanks on the scale that the Soviet Union had during the Cold War. In other words, Russia had a massive tank reserve prior to the war thanks to those Cold War vehicles it maintained, but the reserves have been tapped into and won't likely be replenished for decades to come – if ever.
