The following is to build upon Post 1416 in this thread.

I have to assume there are some folks "are concerned" possibly about the numbers of Russian armor captured and repurposed by the Ukraine.

I have never purposely have single sourced any equipment or news out here even if the "backup" is WiKi something which has occurred less than a handful of times and always in consultation with Don when it arises.
So here's some corroboration to the ORYX data which was current the day I posted it.

[b]From July 17, 2022 Data current to June 26, 2022

This should be enough.

Don I've been looking at this for sometime now.

My concerns were are they getting enough armor to put them into the fight? That has now been fully answered.

Who else is looking at the ORYX Data are are coming up with at least about the same total numbers as ORYX is showing and remember they update that data daily as the evidence allows. The above refs show some "heavy lifters" are processing the data as well by loking at ORYX data and generating their own data.

Remember I mentioned in Post 1416 that you needed to read Para 1, that's because ORYX has used photo or video shots to verify the condition of all the equipment listed on that data sheet.

For Don again I WILL HAVE A COMPLETE LIST OF RUSSIAN CAPTURED/REPURPOSED ARMOR TO YOU WITHIN 2 WEEKS. You know where that'll be posted. I have no intention at his point after a "cursory" check of the SOVIET Era equipment listed to have any of them listed because 1. I haven't seen anything that really stands out to me and; 2. The Ukraine certainly has enough Soviet Era equipment already.


Back to the Vacation the weather is absolutely fantastic. Nothing better than sleeping when the overnight temps are in the 30's!!

Regards,
Pat
