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

I just finished counting the BTR-70s and BRDM-2s at the new footage from the 349th (I forgot about those two types of vehicles). Two interesting things: BTR-70s went down from 222 earlier this year (266 prewar) to 141, while BRDM-2s went up from 215 to 260. Image
So BTR-70s still look like they're being pulled from storage for X or Y reason (re: in the linked thread I explained possible reasons for this).
While at the same time they might be consolidating BRDM-2s here, just as they did previosuly with BMP-1s at this same 349th storage base.

1/ A thread on some storage bases we missed during all our previous counts. Image
2/ A while ago the crew of @tochnyi published an article on the Russian logistics system and its facilities. Ever since, I've been looking at some of the bases noted there that we never noticed before. tochnyi.info/2024/09/logist…
3/ And just yesterday @a_from_s released a thread on the second part of his own T-80 count where he went over some of these.

1/ Final thread on stored Russian engineering vehicles. This times we'll take a look at a miscellaneous mix of engineering vehicles, such as minelayers, mine clearing vehicles, trench diggers... and see whether they're being used or not. Image
2/ As with the other two engineering threads, this won't be an in-depth analysis, just a overall glance at their storage stocks. Re: ARV and pontoon threads:

1/ Short thread on the status of Russian stored pontoon equipment. Let's see how it's looking after the many river crossing operations the Russian army attempted during this war. Image
2/ I don't think anybody needs to be explained why potoons are so important for any miltary: they allow engineer units to set up river crossings needed to carry out operations through water bodies. Image
3/ The Soviet Union always had river crossings in mind when developing military vehicles. That's why most of their AFVs were amphibious. However, crossing a river is a very slow process that leaves vehicles vulnerable to enemy fire while traversing it. Image

According to this information, Russia should be able to restart production of W-46 engines needed to refurbish old T-72 Urals/As.
This means that they'd be finally able to refurbish those tanks, that until now have barely been touched, as shown by @HighMarsed.
@HighMarsed Considering the Russian tactics, these would serve well enough as up-armored APCs, aka turtle tanks. Image
