Two or three years. That's how long the Russian army might have before it runs out of tanks, according to one estimate. And that's why it's not inconceivable that, in the near future, Moscow might do what Kyiv has done—and ask its foreign allies for their tanks.
According to the latest findings, approximately 1,239 tanks have been destroyed, 106 tanks damaged, 113 abandoned, and 544 captured by the Ukrainian troops in combat. Many images of severed turrets and burned-out wrecks of Russian tanks have made headlines, eroding the Russian Army's image of invincibility.

It remains uncertain whether there are plans to surge numbers to even higher levels in future years.
