Highly likely they’re consolidating at certain bases because those tanks are either being harvested for parts, selected for refreshment/restoration or even being used as a school for mechanics, restorers. As much as I’d like to say they’re empty, it’s more likely most of the garages are full.

@shannonkohl68

Speculation here, but I would think it more likely that the answer is that they are running out of qualified mechanics to fix them, so they consolidate at a few bases in order to not have a small number of mechanics at all the bases. The idea of it being a school seems unlikely, you would only need a few to learn on, and that number would not grow but would be related to the class size. Obviously as those tanks are fixed, you'd want to bring in more broken ones, but that would still the same number unless the class size is growing. As to harvesting the parts, it also seems unlikely. Cheaper to take the part off the tank where it is, and ship it to where ever the recipient tank is located than ship the whole tank. But who knows, these are Russians we are talking about. For all we know the commander of the base is amassing tanks so when Putin goes down he'll have the biggest tank force in the Russian Civil War.

​@@Jason-fm4myyes, the sheds arnt that big, so you cant store or fix that many. Russia has always just dumped it all outside, with everything that goes with that.

One other reason for this depot increasing in numbers of tanks in storage is its proximity to the Uralvagonzavod tank factory at Nizhny Tagil, only 130km away. It makes sense to gather all the tanks that you will be fixing up in one place, then ship them at one time to the factory. Especially if you don't have sufficient storage space at the factory itself. It also enables you to be close to your supply of spare parts.

You can imply activity in the garages by the snow melt on the roofs. You will have to allow for some tree cover which will disrupt the amount of snow on the roofs. Some of the garages have zero snow melt and it could be implied that there has been zero activity there either because there is no need or more likely there is nothing there to work with. A few of the sheds do have some snow melt implies activity inside such as engines running or other sources of heat.

In the 1990s we cut up dozens of russian tanks for spares for collectors in the West. We learnt that most of the storage yards arent gaurded and the tanks were getting cannabalised for scarp, / vodka.

They're experiencing a shortage of both spare parts and qualified mechanics so many of these tanks take months even years to return to the battlefield. Thats why they're using Desert Crosses.

I think, one of the reasons why we see this base grow, that most likely most "easy-to-refurbish" tanks have been restored and shipped to active duty, and majority of remaining tanks require complex repairs that hard to performed in storage facilities with available resources - skilled workforce/equipment/parts. In situation when Ruzzia runs low on skills/equipment/parts It is easy to run single super-repair center, rather shuffle resource between multiples repair facilities.

He´s a hack. He forgets the number one reason why they DON´T RUN OUT OF TANKS: Only a small percentage of tanks are actually destroyed. The rest are recovered and repaired. And if not repairable, it is used to scavenge for parts. While Russia has had many tanks hit, that does not equate to losing them. And since they have an entire industry that builds, repairs, and recovers their tanks, Ukraine can never win, because Ukraine does NOT have such an industry. There are RU tanks in the field that have been knocked out and repaired a dozen times!

@@Avroveks So you're saying that even the Russian conspiracy theories involve the Russian military failing miserably to accomplish its objectives.

I hope it goose well and take care Mr Cabal.

There is much more to Russia than just the Ukraine front. They are preparing two new armies for posting in the northwest now that Finland has joined NATO so there will be a lot of armor allocated there. All the other areas of the country need to be kept stocked up as well. As far as the sheds, I would think any tanks in the garage were driven into them and they may not be modified to the latest standards . Of course that does not help anyone know if there are tanks in the garages in the first place either.

Russia went from producing 400 tanks a year to now 1200 tanks a year and are sending 100 new t90’s to the front every month. They can’t get French optics anymore so they use slightly less advanced local optics but since there is very few tank battles in this war there is no real need for advanced optics that are over engineered and fail on the regular. Russian stuff is of worse quality for some things but durability is amazing and simple.

Awesome work thank you very very much CovertCabal!!!

Hope everything gets better

Watched a video today of a ruzzian attack with three T-55s in the lead. They wouldnt be using these if they had a choice.

@@Fiberous_Pulley That the T-55's won't see anything before they explode, where's a T-90M might have a chance to shoot something before it goes boom? T-90's also sometimes will survive modern anti-tank weapons, where's a T-55 is vulnerable to things that by modern standards aren't anti-tank weapons. The T-55's also have 4 man crews, where's T-64 and newer are 3 man, and you have to train the crews to some level or they will never get to the battlefield.

Russia has 600-700 thousand troops in Ukraine compared to the 190k at the start of the war They need tanks across the entire front, T-90s and T-80s are given to Guard armies and T-62s/T-55s are given to the local army corps formed from the Donetsk/Lugansk rebels and the volunteers Mind you, Russia is also literally sending thousands of Nepalese/Africans/Central Asian mercenaries to the front, you think they're going to give them T-90s too?

@@johnclay2716 estimated 500,000 Russian troops. Russian combat unit make up at the beginning of the war was too small and did not feature enough infantry to work with armored units and protect logistics/support units. Overall, Russian armored vehicles are slightly under strength in terms of both number and quality. In terms of quantity, Russian forces should reconstitute sometime in 2025. Though they will only be able to sustain full strength for about 2-3 years.
