Barely any movement in Russian storage bases in 2026 so far. Seems UVZ has enough T-72As in queue for now to pull more from storage, and everything else is pretty much unchanged.
The most remarkable things is the 2456th focusing now on BTR-70s and the 769th slowly pulling the remaining BMPs.
I guess we're officially at the point refurbishing stored armor no longer makes sense. They're all too old and broken down, Russia already has enough armor reserves for what little action they see and new production is already more than enough to compensate losses.
As seen recently with things like T-64s and BMPs, we can expect them to slowly cannibalize and scrap what's left over the next years.
Fitting with me stopping all this tank counting stuff, heh.
I did miss the 22nd as no recent footage is available since late 2025, but just the small amount of hardware left in that base is enough to know the bigger picture won't change at all even if that base turned out to be now completely empty.
