Russian Ground Forces had (on paper) 557 T-80 variants pre-war. Of this, 396 have been lost (71%) since the war started.

Elsewhere, SIPRI said Russia had about 112~ Ka-52 Alligators in 2019. Oryx has visual evidence of 43 Ka-52 losses. (38.3%) One actually just crashed on a training flight earlier this month and one was just shot down outside of Robotyne:

When we can verify that there are none left with more than just hearsay evidence. The Russians never really retire anything even though we had some pulled from reserve units until the info surfaced that some were being re-fitted. Even if there are a handful still running unless they are only in a museum it would be worth keeping in an OOB but maybe put the radio code to 3 to keep the AI from buying them and PERHAPS add a note to the unit that purchasing should be keeping to only a few vehicles due to their rarity but then new info may surface making that wrong.



It's a judgment call that WE ( Andy and I ) make. NOBODY else
