@oifayulian There were 346 in late 2025.

@oifayulian 293 tank hulls. However I doubt most of those will ever be overhauled.

Indeed, the boneyard outisde the 103rd is as empty as it's ever been since there's Google Earth footage available back in 2009. Maybe once those yards are completely cleaned of old hulls they'll go back to bring in more T-62s from storage bases.

As @T_90AK theorized, it's likely they're working on refurbishing the final T-62M/MVs before jumping straight to regular, plain old T-62s. We'll see sooner or later. x.com/i/status/20683…

A Russian BM-21 Grad MLRS battery in this location says a lot about how far Ukrainian forces have advanced in the direction of Komar and the improved situation in Novopavlivka.

@gpward72 No way to know for sure but certainly a lot will have been cannibalized.

@Jonpy99 Any indication that the 103rd has physically shredded anything in the Boneyard or have they just disappeared? Yes I’m still jonesing on the scrapping

@AirElbonia The latter isn't happening anytine soon at the current rate.

Just 184 hulls in late June. There were 253 in March and 203 in May.

@jungleguy I'm counting on England winning.

@Jonpy99 Or Argentina

Here we go, England.

Daily Ukraine map thread for Tuesday 14 July 2026 Further ship strikes in the Sea of Azov emerged, plus a map below from the Unmanned Systems of where the ships were struck which should help significantly with figuring out which ship is which. We expect a few more tonight, but it's just target practice at this point. Ukrainian Sargan-3000 Unmanned Surface Vessel detonated and sank the Russian FSB Patrol Ship "Izumrud" in Gelendzhik, south of Novorossiysk. No significant changes to report on our frontline - the advances you may be reading about in west Donetsk/Dnipropetrovsk we had already adjusted for a long time ago based on geolocations. It's in the right direction for Ukraine here at least. Cascading fuel problems across Russia now - and they are just going to get worse. Salavat refinery was struck disabling the AVT-6 and AVT-4 processors.

@Hoddi69 @WillKnowler Range targets, according to @WillKnowler.

@Jonpy99 @WillKnowler Being transported for scrap or restoration you think?

24 hours after proposing it, President Trump drops his demand for a 20% toll for cargo going through the Strait of Hormuz. Instead, he says, "Based on highly productive conversations with Middle East leadership, I have decided to replace the 20% United States Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States."

@OhGodPlsNOO Refilling tank units within Russia.

@Jonpy99 Curiosity of where these refurbished tanks are headed too. I know some get sent to the front line but its become almost limited due to vast drone coverage. Are they back filling replacements on other boarder units to the south east or even north they pulled from?

@_ooo0OOOO0ooo_ We've seen T-72B3/B3As, T-80BVMs and T-90Ms with active countermeasures recently, like Arena.

@Jonpy99 the tank is dead, long live the tank. any idea if they are doing some sort of active protection on these?
