Russia fell to #2 in army tanks but isn't #51 more accurate?

russia finally updated its army tank numbers. it used to claim 12 000, counting many old ones like t60s that are 70 years old. even after ukraine destroyed 1000, russia listed 12 000 as if not lost or yes replaced. even this year the list said 12000 and lost credibility but finally updated now.

oryx confirmed more than 4 400 tanks destroyed. only 5 countries even have that many tanks. india ranks 5th most, with 3900! russia lost more tanks than- all the army tanks that even india has. obviously most countries, 120/145 have less than 1000 (30 have zero). so can't compare, but even the major army of india- russia lost more tanks than it. cannibal to take parts from others tanks for tanks caused even less available.

russia lost so many that -despite china did not add tanks since 2020, 5800 like now, russia lost so many it fell below china. also china thousands are like t54! so both these big numbers are really weaker but in numbers russia lost so many- it fell from 12 000 to below china 5800!

russia finally admitted it lost most of its army tanks to less than half 5600/12000! in numbers that ranks #2 after lost 6 400 and probably more! but the fact that it failed to take kyiv and other major cities, russia tried but failed. ukraine was stronger held land even before nato help, it later did get nato help defending, but russia failed to hold land: not only evacuated north ukraine but also in 2022 got chased from n. e. ukraine russia was weak it failed to hold land even then lost lots.

the mines blocked ukraine advance so ukraine used machines this year to clear paths and liberate more land this year. we see how weak russia is. even the remaining thousands are mostly old or weak. should the rank for russia and china- also old as above- really be like hungary or ecuador army. seems about right?

Yes you are absolutely right. From. the start of the Ukraine war the weaknesses of the Russian military was on display. For instance tyres on their lorry wearing out very quickly, the soldiers had sold the good military grade tyres and replaced them with cheap Chinese tyres. Conscripts armed with Mosin Nagants because the Generals and others had sold off their various stockpiles of service rifles to enrich themselves. The Russian military had some good military equipment comparable to NATO stuff but in such little numbers and were quickly wiped out and never replaced. Its also similar with Russian troops, theyd great special forces, naval infantry, airborne troops and in good numbers but incompetent generals got them all slaughtered for nothing.

Imagine a US drafted soldier being sent into combat with a krag rifle, a brodie helmet and paper body armour.
