In the 32 months since Russia widened its war on Ukraine, Kyiv’s allies have pledged around 900 tanks and 1,400 fighting vehicles as well as thousands of lighter armored personnel carriers and armored trucks.
However, the Ukrainians have lost almost exactly as many armored vehicles as they’ve received from their allies: 900 tanks and 1,400 fighting vehicles.
All that is to say, Ukraine might be able to generate enough armored vehicles to keep its older ground combat brigades—around 100 in all—in action. But it’s struggling to generate vehicles for any new brigades it forms.
