  • Russia is able to replace its tanks at almost the rate it's losing them, the UK MOD said.
  • Russia has lost up to 365 main battle tanks since early October 2023.
  • But it is generating at least 100 tanks a month, largely replacing those losses, the MOD said.

Russia is able to make 100 tanks a month, allowing it to keep its offensive effort at the same level despite suffering major losses, according to UK intelligence.

The UK Ministry of Defence said in an intelligence update on Monday that Russia's ground forces have lost up to 365 main battle tanks, or MBTs, since early October 2023 — meaning a loss of a bit more than 100 tanks a month.
