Russian Occupiers Suffering Insane Losses

The Russian Federation's stock of tanks and armored vehicles is decreasing.
Ukrainian blogger Oleksiy Kopytko writes on Telegram about the large-scale losses of the Russian occupiers:
— An important point that our researchers, Western researchers, and Russian opposition researchers are paying attention to. The Russian Federation's stock of tanks and armored vehicles at storage bases is decreasing, the rate of production and restoration does not compensate for the rate of losses.
In view of this, the number of cases of Russians using converted civilian vehicles, the same loaves of bread, to transport small groups of infantry to LBS is increasing. Our military confirms this.
Just as the rate of recruitment of mercenaries does not compensate for the rate of loss of manpower (which I wrote about last time).
At the beginning of 2025, we see the following picture.
Simultaneous competition is underway in several directions.
On the one hand, Russia uses the tactics of attacking in small groups. In the conditions of the Kremlin's total disregard for the lives of its soldiers and numerical superiority, the Russian army is crawling forward. Due to the shortage and vulnerability of equipment, the rate of such crawling is 55 km per year in a straight line in the most successful area.
On the other hand, the use of robotic and unmanned systems by the Ukrainian army is expanding. They gradually neutralize the advantage in equipment and grind the enemy's manpower.
At some point, these trends should balance out, if there are no collapses.
Reasons that can cause a drawdown of the front:
1) a sharp reduction / slowdown in external assistance, which will lead to gaps in the supply of ammunition in the first place; 2) internal destabilization.
In a war of “people against people”, Russian-Korean (and similar) forces clearly have an advantage. But in a situation of people and robots against people and robots, everything is different. Additional multipliers, coefficients, etc. appear.
Everything that is written is not for complacency. Everyone can see the map. Everyone knows the problems. But it is necessary to realize their scale.
