A lack of tanks being killed could mean that they're being held back for a future mass use but it is equally likely that they are being held back because they are so ineffective. It is also possible that there simply aren't any available in a functional condition.

One aspect of this war that has been eye-opening is that tanks without infantry support and suppression are easily destroyed with "cheap" weapons. You don't need better tanks to kill tanks. Tanks have traditionally been designed with strong front armour to protect it against direct fire from other tanks. Modern anti-tank weapons don't try to hit the front but instead hit the top and tanks will need to be re-designed to cope with that.

Once again:


Since WW1, unsupported tanks, will die.
 
Soviet tank design was dictated by what worked well for them in WW2. They were designed to be cheap, easy to produce, run on any fuel maybe even cow ****, and most importantly require less training, maintenance and being able to put thousands on the open battlefields of Eastern European farmlands to zerg rush the enemy because it worked for them in WW2 against the Germans


But life is rarely so simple and that tank design doesn't work anymore. Tanks become too ineffective if they do not incorporate modern technologies that make them heavier and more expensive and require more training and maintenance. And the large tank battles the Cold War russian tanks were designed for doesn't make sense anymore, with long range and smart munitions from artillery, infantry and drones, large groups of tanks even on an open field is dangerous and not worth the risk

* Wagner is now recruiting prisoners from female prisons, must be running out of males

* US intelligence says Wagner has already recruited 40 thousand male prisoners

* Kremlin pays Wagner's owner $100 million per month for the war.

* Wagner is buying weapons and ammo from North Korea.

* Russia's only aircraft carrier was on fire today, the second time it's been on fire in the last 5 years that it's been in dry dock to replace its engines that can't operate for more than one day before they fail. Also while it's been in the dry dock, a crane collapsed and damaged the deck of the ship. The crew is happy not to be deployed to the ship as the ship doesn't have a proper ventilation system and each time it's been at sea in the past the crew have gotten sick from gasses and fumes exhausted inside the ship by its dirty environmentally disastrous engines

That's very much an unproven theory

Chinas military look pretty strong to me, they have huge numbers for one.

Is that why they're using up their prisoners first, get them out the way then send in their best?

What war are you watching? The current one has proven their best were used and destroyed

They sent the Elite in early to Kiev and got their asses kicked

Their best now is Wagner mercs but they too have been decimated and are now using convicts.

Their Chechens were massacred and ran home because they couldn't sustain their losses.

So tell me how many more are they going to sacrifice before sending in their best?

From what I can see they now only have poor convicts and drunks with no training and poor weapons, just numbers to throw into the meat grinder

Some interesting info, which is relevant given Putin just told a Russian mother today that she should be proud her son died in a trench fighting for Russia and not from vodka

* Russia has the highest alcohol consumption in the world ; on average each adult drinks 18 litres spirits like Vodka each year - more than double the maximum limit according to the WHO

* 200k people die each year in Russia from alcohol poisoning; 150k men and 50k women

* Russian male life expectancy is 12 years lower than it would be if alcoholism wasn't so prominent in Russian society and 5 years for females

* The alcohol related deaths are not evenly spread they vary massively by region - for example while 15% to 20% all Russian deaths just prior to covid and the war were from alcohol poisoning, in Siberia 50% of all deaths are from alcohol

* 70% of all violent crime committed in Russia occurs while the assailant was drunk

* Alcohol is also a major factor in road deaths; with depending on the year 15 to 30 thousand road accidents leading to deaths occurring each year, compared to 1500 in the UK



Essentially Russia is a land of drunks and while heart disease and obesity are major killers in the west, alcohol is what kills them

I can't get over how the western european countries are capitulating to Russia with energy.

Why isn't the purposely cutting off of resources, specially energy and oil, considered an act of war?

Germany used 1% of its energy storage in 1 day last week during the very cold weather. If europe has a bad cold winter then Germany will totally run out of energy in just over 100 days. By that time it probably wouldn't be able to fight back if it wanted to.

It seems another method of destroying our countries, just like we see in many other areas.
