#Russian Military losses

Russia may be running out of one of its most advanced Cold War–era tanks faster than previously believed, according to a new open-source intelligence investigation that suggests the once-formidable T-80 fleet is nearing the end of its lifecycle after years of heavy losses in Ukraine.

Moscow’s myth of Ukraine’s “inevitable defeat” collapses under basic arithmetic. To capture the rest of the Donetsk region could cost Russia years more war and hundreds of thousands of additional lives. The resources already lost were enough to build a world-class AI sector.
