Russia's Weaponry Strategy in Ukraine: Relying on Older Models?
TL;DR Summary
Russia's military is in a state of decline due to battlefield losses and Western sanctions, resulting in a loss of almost 10,000 units of key equipment. However, Russia can still rely on its older stocks of equipment to make up in numbers what it may have lost in technology. The lack of modern hardware and Western sanctions have left Russia unable to source parts and tools needed to put together a modern tank. Despite this, Russia still retains numerical advantages over Ukraine, enabling it to run a war of attrition over the next year. To offset this, it is vital that Western countries keep technologically superior armaments flowing to Ukraine.
