Like always amazing video! Cabal maybe you could do also Belarus and tell us what is their situation with equipment. They sent many tanks and other vehicles but it would be very interesting to see Belarus in details
They did? I know they were hosting troops but I wasn't aware they had provided their armour to the Russians. I mean, the Belarusian position has always been weird, trying to act 'neutral', saying they have no beef with Ukraine whilst hosting an Invasion (and march on their capital) from their territory, but I wasn't aware of any weapons transfers.
@@bilalsadiq1450 According to ukrainian sources the Belarussian storages are empty and this year active units had to give equipment to the russians. Which makes the mostly conscript army of Belarussia less of a danger to the Lukashenko regime.
Remember that loss of a Russian tank often includes the loss of the crew. 3-4 generally young men dead. This in addition to the massive loss in Infantry in IFV's and on foot. Couple these factors with the sever demographic collapse in Russia, and it's clear that Putin is willing to destroy the future of his country, culture and people to achieve his goals.
You can't help but feel sorry for the poor bastard who's just trying to live his life and getting pulled into that mess. The young die at the whims of the old and rich.
Indeed, something else to consider, Non Combat losses, Historically they are far higher than Combat losses but rarely make the Loss Lists, That goes for both Men and Machines.
Those 2025 predictions looking pretty spot on. Was predicted that by the end of 2025 Russia would be out of armor. That's all armor, BMP MBT IFV all that stuff.
@@starline7228 Haven't been paying attention, have you? Covert Cabal does one base at a time. Perun has put it into single video just released last week. Russia is attritting it's Soviet legacy at an huge rate, and the pace of loss is only increasing. Keep posting snarky one liners if you must (and I suspect your choice is that or the front).

Not just vehicles. The Swedish government expects the stockpile of artillery ammo to dry up making Russia dependent on new manufacturing at a slower rate in late 2025. Russia really needs the negotiations on Jan 20th because they can't sustain the war for more than a year. Their economy is already shaking and could crash in a few months.
Fantastic content? This video is implying that Russia is a weak state with a weak military. Nothing could be farther from the truth, no matter how much anyone wants to believe.

Look you guys, Russia is going to win this thing. When they do, won't you feel like an idiot?
Goddamn. I gotta say, before this whole thing started I could never imagine that I would see the extinction of Russian T-series tanks not just within my lifetime but within 5 fuckin years.
@@денисбаженов-щ1б They have over 1650 in inventory with over 450 on order. Not clear how many of those on order have been delivered or will be delivered. That is around 2100 T-90 and they have over 2400 T-72. So between 4000-4500 T series in inventory. They had planned on ordering another 500 or so T-90 but it is unclear if that is going to happen or not. So, I guess it is still a long ways from 5000 for now but still over 4000 is a huge stockpile. More importantly, they are all in working order and have been getting periodic upgrades
The way Russia stores "combat ready tanks". They park them outside Hook a dry air hose to the main gun barrel. Open the breach of the gun and close the hatches The constant supply of dry temperature controlled air being pumped in through the gun barrel keeps the interior of the tank from corroding or freezing. When the tanks are needed the mechanics unhook the air hose , drive it into a garage , do a full lubrication and oil change and then drive the tank onto a rail car. There still.are some T-72 and T-80 tanks that are "hooked up" but Russia has been pulling unpreserved T-62 and T-54/55's because those tanks don't use 125mm ammo. There's no point in pulling more T-64/72/80 tanks out of storage when you're running low on 125mm ammo. So the T-62 with its 115mm gun is being pulled out "Modernized" and sent to the front with ammo from N.korea. The T-54/55 tanks with their 105 mm guns are being used as "artillery". A lot of tanks are being "parted out" Engines and transmissions pulled and sent to factories Turrets are being pulled and sent to the front because the main guns on a tank wears out after 200-300 rounds and Russian mechanics can replace the turret faster than rebuilding the autoloader and putting a new liner in the barrel. I don't think Putin understands the concept of "pyrrhic victory'
"They park them outside Hook a dry air hose to the main gun barrel. Open the breach of the gun and close the hatches " Not according to the photos from Russian tank parks. They clearly show rusting hulls, barrels and ravaged for parts empty hulls.
Interestingly, the song about tankers was made in 1939, when the standard crew for a tank consisted of 3 men (BT-7 and T-26) but later the crew of a tank grew to 4 men (T-34 and KV-1). The song again became "apt" in 60-s, when T-64 was made. As for the base, it's cool that russians depleted their reserves, but many of these tanks are now in the frontline units and still to be destroyed.
@@teblack2Not really. Russia wants people to think it can last forever, therefore making it seem that support to Ukraine is futile. However Ukraine does better in the long run than Russia.
@@teblack2 Why would the West want to make their enemy look stronger than it actually is, Sherlock? It's Russia that invented potemkin villages, and which claimed to be the 2nd army in the world (only to embarrass itself whilst attempting to take Ukraine).
It’s quite clear that Russia is losing tanks and armored vehicles faster than they can replace them with refurbished older models or new ones from the factories. While Russia’s own industrial capacity makes it impossible for them to completely run out of them, it will mean that they’ll have to rely on them less and less!
@@nbell5050 And they keeo hitting their own citys. You can only fly so many sorties, so that approch is not nearly as scalbale. Plust Russia is already losing its yearly production rate if jets to accidents alone.
With sanctions they'd be lucky to produce 200/year. it would take decades to build reserves up again, if they could even afford it with 21% interest rates and nearly 9% inflation.
I want to see Russia lose, but I think the idea this sets Russian armor back decades is nieve. I've read that a Nato general estimstes Russia can produce and refurbish around 1200 MBTs a year. I'm having trouble finding production of new mbts ONLY but lets say it's only 400. That means they can replinish their stock of high quality armor in as little as a decade. Now will the Russian economy be able to support such a high level of mulitary spending outside of war for so long? I've no idea, but Russia has shown that while it may have been more bark than bite in some regards, it's also more relient than previously thought in terms of sanctions and economy. We need to take Russia seriously, they are a legitimate threat.
"Making space for the new T-14 tanks". I actually read a August 2024 article talking about UVZ production that stated "It is unlikely that UVZ has managed to build such a large number of tanks, especially when part of its production shop for tanks is being used to build small volumes of complex Armata systems." That instantly cut their credibility, and I discounted their estimate. The Armata production line was funded for several years without ever being built. The project was effectively canceled in 2018 with only seven hand built mock-ups/prototypes. There is no chance that any production shop space is being used for it.
Because it is true Nato has sent everything they have in stock, it is empty, they were forced to buy from south Korea and Pakistan for example And they / Nato can not compete with Russia in weapons production. Even worse now when China has banned exports of critical components to they who send weapons to Ukraine. You have lost and Donald Trump will have to clean this up when he enters the white house and peace will return

How many OLD tanks and armored vehicles does Russia have? (Mid 1960s and earlier, excluding the T-54/55 and T-62/64's we've already seen). Between training bases, deep storage, and live museums. Stuff like the T-34, T-44, ISU-152, IS-2, IS-3, T-10/IS-8, T-26, BT Series, PT-76, KV Tanks, SU-100, and some prototype vehicles.
They also have very little battlefield capability in terms of range, optics, night vision etc I would say they are useful as static artillery pieces only.
T-10/IS-8 is the oldest that have in any real numbers that could be used, iirc the DPR/LPR received some T-10's last year as spg's however the t54 is the oldest they would/could field also as a spg or converted into a turtle tank iirc we saw a couple sent early this year
In active service? I would guess about 70-80 T-54/55s, 300-400 T-62s, and less than 50 T-64s. I’m taking Covert Cabal’s tank withdrawal videos and adding Ukrainian tanks that have been captured (Oryx) and then subtracting out losses (Oryx). Russian losses= (destroyed / .7) + (captured / 1) Not sure about reserve. The older WW2 tanks don’t show up in Covert Cabal’s tank counting videos. Maybe in a parade ground’s storage facility or museum?
you know, A thought occurred on how it must be significantly easier to make each video than the one before, because you have to count less. I sincerely hope that Ukraine can hold out, 2025 will be a deciding year for who finally wins. Will Ukraine's manpower losses, or Russia's equipment losses hit critical points first?

@@arturscherbakov2543 no, while that is upwards of 80% of what they're using, they still are producing a decent chunk of it from scratch, that's why now after almost 3 years of the war, you can often see a handful of the most modren vehicles they have next to a whole lot more old junk from the 60s or so
They have lost shed loads of tanks and days of cheap tanks are over. From now on, each new tank Russia makes will be a slow and expensive build. In short, the days of Russia having endless amounts of tanks is over.
Soon your job of counting tanks will become terribly boring: zero, zero, zero, zero, zero,... Well, how long can you go on like this? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
90% comments are just wishful thinking. How many troops are fighting on the fronlines? How long is the frontline? Eventually (if the war goes on) all the bases may end up empty, but it wouldn't mean that all those tanks are destroyed. Just saying.

Thanks for all your efforts doing this, amazing coverage.
you know, A thought occurred on how it must be significantly easier to make each video than the one before, because you have to count less.
I sincerely hope that Ukraine can hold out, 2025 will be a deciding year for who finally wins. Will Ukraine's manpower losses, or Russia's equipment losses hit critical points first?
If you can see what is seen on the ground, they don't have a chance.
@@gregoryfilin8040 Who is 'they'?
@@gregoryfilin8040Why? Because Russia advances at highest rate of casualties since the beginning of the war?

Exceptional work guys!
Where are all the useful idiots saying Russia had inexhaustible numbers of tanks? Tell us all about that again! 😂
They are limitless if you count every box with sheet metal on it, which is what Russia has been doing.
@@flakcannonhansa pair of abbibas shoes are tanks if your definition of tanks is broad enough and if you squint a bit.
Storage facility 1295 is empty, 1294 left 😮

Speaking of useful idiots
"They are keeping their best stuff in reserve."
This was a reasonably common statement at the start of the war.
Russian general : You have no tanks in base, Take rifle, you infantry now.😊😊
Pff. One man gets a rifle, the next just gets ammo.
Keep up the good work, comrades! That base looks positively lovely. Let's get a few more cleaned up before year's end, eh?
(Thanks for your continued work here, CC and friends!)
for many more to come! Would it now be cascading and the others emptying faster?
I would like to be the first to congratulate the workers at this tank storage yard on their promotion. To infantry.
Genuinely love this channel
Три танкиста, must be the best song i've heard since "Song of the Volga boatsmen"...
Tanks a lot for the great video.
Keep up the great work guys
Awesome work. Thanks and very good news.
La propaganda russa può dire quello che vuole . Le foto satellitari sono una prova incontestabile !
Thanks , got here as another channel mentioned your perfect work!
Another great episode of CIV-INT (civilian intelligence).
Thank you for all your work
You guys have become The Defacto Authorities on this subject, (outside of some classified US Departments, I imagine). Perhaps along with your 3D models you could define the definitions you've used for analysis / tools? I'm sure your efforts will be copied in the future.
Then why is he often wrong.
Watch his channel since the beginning of the war and many statements and predictions have been way off.
He's never retracted or apologised.
Lacking integrity.
@@BusesAreFatCars Name ONE example, rusbot
@@pnakek An example of what exactly?
Of something he got wrong?
@@pnakek In the meantime while I wait for an answer that you might not give, as it would open an opportunity to make you look foolish, you've already done that yourself by showing you're too stupid and uninformed to even know what a "bot" is.
@@BusesAreFatCarsIvan now claiming satellite photos are propaganda 😂 good joke
Great job !!! Thanks again...
I'm surprised the satellites can even see anything with all the dark clouds looming over Russia.
Rays of hope shine brightest in darkness.
Im sure the ghost of kiev and the snake island 13 lies made you giddy also. I always laugh at cnn viewers
@@tomreid5002 And the trollski has spoken.
@@sogerc1 Facts dont care about your feelings lil one. You do know this channel is paid propaganda right? But if the lies make you feel good,,,,,,, carry on
@@tomreid5002 Sure "Tom", it's paid.
Just because you get paid to spread propaganda doesn't mean everyone else does the same.
Geez, could you have chosen a more generic name? Why not John Smith?
Excellent news. On to the next!
🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦✌🔱✌🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Thank you 😊
Thank you for your hard work. Thank you for keeping me informed.
I remember how Russia was out of missiles and ammo, *TWO YEARS AGO*
...and you remember when they went begging to NK?
Is that like how there are "10,000 NK soldiers in Kursk"?
@@oggaBugga Don't know about the number but both Russia and NK say there are NK troops there so not sure what your point is?
@@Nerdy4Life You may want to lay off the copium. Russia has never said anything about NK troops.
Well, it does make sense to empty out/move the tanks that are farthest away a bit closer to where they are needed I guess. But even so, this is good news 👍
Browsing through this video's comments made my day. If I had patience for that much comedy I would read them all but alas things to do. Just one friendly advice - explore a bit out of yor echo chamber.
Aaah, self denial of Russian propaganda. Lying to your own pockets. So productive...
Huh, I’m surprised the first empty tank depot wasn’t the 6018th/3018th. That one had fewer tanks than the 1295th back in P6 2024.
All those people who are saying Russia is winning need to see these videos!
Which side is advancing?
@@BusesAreFatCars Germany almost took Moscow, what's your point?
@@BusesAreFatCars Ukraine is advancing in Kursk :)
@@iQKyyR3K When? Mehmed took Constantinople? I presume that's relevant too?
@@pnakek What territory have they gained this week? What territory there did they lose last week?
Do you even know? I do. You're spouting BS.
Nice! Unfortunately, one of these days in the near future, CC will run out of work...
I love how everyone is now a professor of economics and a military analyst these days 🙂
and also, gay as hell 😂
Nuther awesome video 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Great channel . Just discovered it . Keep up the awesome work 💪🇺🇦🤘
Looking forward to the other videos.
can you make a video on new equipment replacing all this stuff and if they can keep up
What new equipment? Russia barely produces new equipment, and they can't replace what they pull out of storage. They run out of weapons.
@@leonnunhofer3453 it's not necessarily "barely", they do seem to produce about 15 to 20% of tanks and afvs that they're using
@@altaruss2838 lmao, they can produce few bmp3 per month and 0 tanks - only modify old corpses.
@@arturscherbakov2543 no, while that is upwards of 80% of what they're using, they still are producing a decent chunk of it from scratch, that's why now after almost 3 years of the war, you can often see a handful of the most modren vehicles they have next to a whole lot more old junk from the 60s or so
You are the best channel of all of TH-cam!
The end is nigh!
I have really liked this new format for sharing the information
We’re so fucking close. T-34 museum tanks back on the frontline coming soon.
Thank you for your work
They have lost shed loads of tanks and days of cheap tanks are over. From now on, each new tank Russia makes will be a slow and expensive build. In short, the days of Russia having endless amounts of tanks is over.
Thank you, keep working.
these garages are empty
I very much enjoyed your video and I gave it a Thumbs Up
Soon your job of counting tanks will become terribly boring: zero, zero, zero, zero, zero,...
Well, how long can you go on like this?
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
May such wonders never cease.
90% comments are just wishful thinking. How many troops are fighting on the fronlines? How long is the frontline?
Eventually (if the war goes on) all the bases may end up empty, but it wouldn't mean that all those tanks are destroyed.
Just saying.
Amazing how far I had to wade into this circle jerk of a comment section to find an intelligent comment.
Shhhhh...)
The difference in quality of the satellite images between Cold War and now is amazing
Looking forward to the Russian Bot comments :D Stealth tanks!
Much awaited, much appreciated excellent insights as always from you.

Great job, good to see. cheers
NOT singing anymore 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Good work!
okay, ua still lost
How's Kursk doing?
@@neliz2k im not a z patriot dude, tis is just a reality. ua lost like 10x more land compared to kursk gains in the same time span.
Great work
Could you do Ukrainian or Eastern Europe storage bases
Edit: It's open source intelligence the Russians probably know this information whether he does it or not
Why should they do the enemies work? The less the Russian knows the better, but you should already know that!
@Hiznogood Russia has their own spy satellites and they're probably of higher quality he then civilian models, they know
@@ansonellis443 Sure, but it takes time and effort, time and effort that could be spent elsewhere.
Loose lips sink ships, maybe they missed something, made a mistake or just about anything else.
Why give them the option to double check their work?
Jeez, that new stealth technology must be awesome. Nobody is even going to see them in battle!
