..."While Russian President Vladimir Putin usually uses the parade to highlight Russia's military resurgence and show off the latest Russian tanks, this year the only tank taking part was a single Stalin-era tank.
In face of the steep losses, Russia has sought to adapt its battlefield use of tanks, according to a recent report by the UK-based Royal United Services Institute.
The losses have even forced Russia to pull old Soviet-era tanks out of storage and deploy them on the battlefield, Insider reported last year.
Despite the equipment shortages suffered by the Russian military on the front line, Russia continues to showcase advanced military technology at global arms fairs, the UK's military intelligence said."

Glad they are losing tanks, but most Russian tanks are not that great, with modern anti tank weapons they are just easy targets. Have you noticed Russia has sent very few of their new Armata tanks into Ukraine.

- If "they sent 14" that would be nearly half their total -- which might be all that they had in working condition at the time.
- If "only one remains whole" the losses apparently haven't been at the front

Pretty sure the Chinese will cut off Russia if the use even a tactical nuke. They like to remind the world is that only America has used nukes. Better to paint America as bad.
