1/ Here is my BMP assessment for the 769th storage base in Ulan-Ude for September 2023. There are 586 BMPs left down from 897 in 2021 and 327 (56%) of the remaining vehicles look like they are broken beyond repair. I have included pictures of the individual spots in this thread. Image
2/ Spot 1: At least 58 of the 84 BMPs at this spot seem to be missing the turret or other parts of the vehicle. Image
3/ Spot 2: This is the only spot where many of the BMPs seem to be repairable (195 out of 295). In my opinion the vehicles in the middle are BMP-2, because of the larger turret. Image
4/ Spot 3: This spot is very close to the scrap yard of the base, which is why I think these are used for spare parts, but I included the BMPs that have not yet been salvaged as repairable to keep the count consistent. Image
5/ Keep in mind that I made the assessment based on a satelite image of the base looking for visible damage, so the real number of broken vehicles is likely higher than my count.

1/ BMP assessment of the 111th storage base near Khal'gaso for October 2023, including satelite imagery and ground footage. Since 2021 the number of BMPs has dropped from 937 to 878 with at least 200 broken beyond repair, but judging by ground footage this number may exceed 700. Image
2/ Spot 1: Here you can see an aerial view of the first spot and satelite imagery from 10/2022, but also two images from the ground from the same spot before 2021. Clearly many of the BMPs can never be brought back into service.

3/ Spot 1: Comparing satelite imagery (Oct 2023 left) from this spot which holds 705 BMPs to imagery from 2021 (right) no changes can be observed. For consistency I only counted the ones visiibly broken on the satelite imagery, but the real number is definetly higher (maybe all).

1/ Russia has lost about 778 BTRs of different variants (Oryx) since the war started but hasn't removed many BTR-60/70 from storage, which I will show in this thread. Meanwhile the share of BTRs in the IFV losses has even increased recently(chart) due to the offensive on Avdiivka
2/ I dont have any exact numbers on the BTRs, because I couldnt identify many of the armored vehicles when we counted them. Here is a comparison of a spot at the 2544th from before the war (left) and a recent image (right). Only a few BTRs have been removed
Image
Image
3/ At the 22nd I found two spots that have BTRs. Again both havent seen a significant drop in vehicles.

1/ How many tanks are left in russian storage bases? @CovertCabal and I counted and identified the tanks and you can find our results in this thread or in his video on Youtube:
2/ First of all here is a breakdown of the numbers by base compared to 2022 and an estimate of how many of each type are left:
Image
Image
3/ Many more tanks have probably been removed from garages. Below you can see four images of the 22nd, 1311th, 111th and 1295th where most of the garages are located. If 50 out of these 77 garages stored tanks there may have been 1800 tanks stored inside garages.

1/ A thread on russian artillery storage: Additional to 4845 towed artillery systems that were removed until the start of 2023 (CoverCabal) another 1500 were removed from the base near Planovyi (55.280319 , 62.728698), bringing the total amount in storage down to about 6000.
2/ Why has russia removed so many towed systems? My theory is that Russia removed 6345 towed artillery systems to replace barrels for the self propelled systems (D-20 -> 2S3, D-30 -> 2S1,...) and some for their intended purpose.
3/ Assuming Russia shoots 20000 shells per day and the barrels needing replacement after 2000 rounds fired, the total amount of barrels needed would amount to 4800, which is enough to explain the huge number of towed artillery systems that were removed.

1/ List of (probably) all russian long term storage bases. I will add the coordinates for each category in the comments, so you can easily copy/paste them.

Tanks and IFVs: Image
2/ Artillery: Image
3/ Trucks, Armored Vehicles, engeneering (all bases that dont store any Artillery or tanks/IFVs): Image
