Ukraine and Russia resort to using outdated tanks in ongoing conflict.

Russia has resorted to using Soviet-era tanks from the 1940s and 1950s, including T-54 and T-55 tanks, in its war on Ukraine as it struggles to replace thousands of weapons lost on the battlefield. However, the available artillery Russia has in stock is not up to snuff and may only spell more trouble for Moscow's war effort. The lack of rangefinders and ballistic computers, primitive sights, and inferior gun stabilization system are key disadvantages of these series, indicating severe issues with military vehicle supply in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.
