By now probably all main storage equipment types are below 50% of the prewar inventory. Image

Specially if you consider that most of the footage is +6 months old.
And yes, I'm still planning on 2-3 more threads before the end of the year, but 1) I've been very busy and 2) I'm still feeling pretty burnt out about this hobby. Still planning on quitting after the year ends.

The to-do list: Image
Also, I too noticed the drop in followers right after Trump was elected. I lost like 200-300 followers. Not like it really matters to me, but it's... curious, to say the least.
Last time I did a big tally of all bases I posted my predictions on how much equipment they'd have after 6 months (in this case, December 2024/January 2025), as I always do. Looks like I might be close to mark, as usual.
I think the 4990th is now officially out of MT-LBs. Footage is from Sentinel, so hard to be 100% certain. Image

1/ Time for the second BTRZ thread! This time we’ll take a look into the state of BMP refurbishment and production rate. Image
2/ Here’s the first thread about BTRZs:
3/ So, before taking a look into the facilities and their capabilities, we have to consider that for the last year Russia has decisively switched tactics to infantry and light vehicles intensive ones.

1/ Time to review Russian Armor Repair Plants (BTRZs)! Been a long time since the last time we checked them, and they’re crucial to the Russian war machine. Image
2/ Before starting, first I recommend watching @CovertCabal's video on BTRZs:
3/ Here you have the numbers we arrived at: Image

1/ Bit of a long-delayed update, but after all the recent footage I wanted to focus on showing the changes on the smaller storage bases for a change, not the major ones everyone has heard about. Image
2/ I talked about the different types of storage bases in depth on the attached thread, but I'll focus on the former MESRBs:
3/ These are brigade-sized storage facilities with equipment ready-to-go to refit movilized units or quickly replace material losses. As expected, they're long gone for the most part by now. Image

Talk about bad luck. The 349th was just updated a tiny bit on Google Earth: Image
And then there'e even more infuriating instances like the 2141st artillery storage base, without an update since late 2022 with pretty bad blurry footage and recently missed by a single kilometer: Image
Of course Google Earth had to update the 769th just one week after I buy my first ever satellite image, precisely of that base. @CovertCabal I feel you now. Image

This is the image I recently bought: the 769th as of May 30th 2025. I won't bother couting it because it's too grainy and numbers appears to remain more or less the same as last time. But that's not the interesting part. Image
You probably noticed already that the local junkyard has been cleaned up. They most likely are sorting and cannibalizing those hulls for any useful part to send to BTRZs to repair other stored BMPs. Image
Image
That's also why some previously emptied spots have been refilled, with those cannibalized hulls moved there to not confuse them with unchecked hulls. Image

1/ @aXielMeMer9432 and @waffentraeger just found a lot of updated images boht on Google and Livingatlas. Among these, there are several major storage bases, and as usual, the pattern is them becoming depleted. Let's see a few of them. Image
2/ Before going deeper, I want to make clear I haven't yet counted any equipment left at these. Still, just a look at them shows that they're not much left.
3/ First of all, the 6018th Central Tank Reserve Base. This one was included in @Vishun_military's recent report, but now it's available for all to see that last September most remaining useful equipment was gone. Image
