So it is currently very likely that Russia still produces about 300 T-90M per year, and remember that after modernizing all the stocks, the Russians will be able to rely only on production, so the lines that are currently modernizing T-72 and T-80

will be replaced by T-90M production lines and then it may turn out that Russia is able to produce, for example, 500 T-90M tanks per year, this cannot be ruled out.
So what do Rus. do with these tanks, do they actually not send them to the front, only stockpile them in Russia, as the Finnish officer claims? Oryx showed that in 2025 only 11 T-90M were destroyed or damaged. Also, Richard Vereker's graph shows that the Russians do not lose too many of these MBTs.
So it is quite possible that the Russians are stockpiling these tanks, creating a reserve from them, which will be ready for use. Having such a reserve is always necessary if the AFU manages to break through the front. And what are the consequences of its absence,
the Russians could see for themselves in the autumn of 2022 in the Kharkiv region.
At this point, the question arises, wouldn't it be better to at least partially use this reserve now, instead of sending infantry in civilian vehicles to the assault?
I have very serious problems with this post. Unless the russians are hiding somewhere thousands of tanks, they have 3,000 left in storage. 30% of these are T-72A and 20% are T-64, both of which they cannot refurbish. Another 40% are T-62 (35%) and T-55 (5%).
Secondly, civilian cars and motorcycles are much cheaper, and the Russians have huge amounts of this type of equipment stored. The lives of their soldiers, of whom they have a constant supply, are also worth little to the Russians,
