Russia is using the T-54 and T-55 tanks produced by the Soviet Union in the late 1940s to make up for the massive armor losses it suffered in its campaign to conquer eastern Ukraine, according to information compiled Thursday by the War Institute. Research (ISW).

“The loss of armored vehicles limits the ability of the Russian army to conduct effective mechanized offensives in its offensive operations in Ukrainestalled,” the ISW said in a statement, citing visual evidence obtained by an independent group of military experts, the Conflict Intelligence Team.

“Russian forces can use the saved T-54 and T-55 tanks to step up these offensives and prepare for Ukrainian mechanized counter-offensives,” adds ISW.

cheap tanks?

The Soviet Union produced tens of thousands of tanks of this type at the end of World War II. Russia According to the US War Institute, you could reuse them because they are relatively cheap to repair.

The use of these more than seven decades old tanks to replace more modern armor destroyed by the Ukrainian army could mean even more casualties among the Russian ranks, warns ISW.

“It is not clear how effective these tanks will be against Ukrainian armored vehicles,” the institute says, which also highlights the “vulnerability” of the T-54 and T-55 to the “many ATGMs available.” Ukraine”.

ISW also warns that Russia Not only would she lose a large number of newly produced tanks during her operations in the east. Ukraine. Together with these machines, their specialized tankers would also fall.
