It would appear whatever stock of T-72Bs held UVZ at their own facilities, is now exhausted, as the Russians have restarted to take T-72Bs stored at the 1311th base to be refurbished at that factory. The stock probably won't last long, I estimate they pull ~20 per month.
Also, unless I'm seriously mistaken with the count/IDs, there are no more T-80BVs at the 1311th. By now it's likely there are no stored T-80s left at all (possibly the ones remaining at the 22nd are all T-80UDs).
Would need a recent image of the 6018th to prove it, but unfortunately that base gets no coverage at all as of lately. This would also point to Omsktransmash being able to quickly work through its backlog of T-80s, similar to what I already analyzed in previous BTRZ threads.
Fun fact: they're also slowly taking the few T-55s and T-62s stored in the 1311th, which explains weird things like the T-62s spotted at Omsktransmash's tank yards a few months ago:
And even the dozen or so BMPs in the 1311th are mostly gone in just a few months, despite that base clearly focusing just on tanks. At this rate the 1311th will also be empty by year's end, which I was NOT expecting.
