Decomposed > Do you know if the costs shown per tank are also wrong?

I may have stumbled upon your source of the Russian tank costs. And the tank losses cited were apparently from early 2022.

I vaguely remember something about Russian tank costs over on Strategy page . . . The numbers you cited sound to be about right.

In the meantime, here are some Russian losses (to a recent date) from Strategy Page :

February 16, 2024:
The war in Ukraine has destroyed most of the major weapons Russia has accumulated over the last two decades. In addition, about 400,000 troops have been lost, many of them when their tanks or other armored vehicles were destroyed. As of February 2024, Russia has lost 6,400 tanks and 12,000 other armored vehicles. Artillery losses have also been heavy with 9,500 howitzers, guns and large caliber mortars lost. Some of the large caliber guns literally wore out their barrels and were considered combat losses. About a thousand MLRS (Multiple Launcher Rocket Systems) were destroyed by enemy artillery or missiles.

Russia has also lost 7,200 UAVs and 1,900 cruise missiles of various types.

Another disabling loss was 16,000 trucks used to transport supplies, including fuel,

This site has tank costs :

http://www.thepricer.org/battle-tank-cost/

Merkava IV $6 million (Israeli)

K2 Black Panther tank $9 Million (South Korean)

Leopard 2A6 Battle Tank $7 Million. (Germany)

M1A2 SEP Tank $9 Million (American.)

http://thegunzone.com/what-is-the-cost-of-a-russian-military-tank/

T-14 Armata $3.7 Million (Russia's newest tank.)

T-90 tank $3 million. (Russia)

And another site suggests the T-72 Russian tank runs one to two million.

Re: “Your article claims Russia has lost 318 tanks. That is incorrect.”Good point. And such an error makes the entire article suspect. But remember... my point had to do with the cost of Russia's tanks, not the number of tanks it has lost. Do you know if the costs shown per tank are also wrong?
