This is why Russian tanks have been annihilated by Ukraine | Russia Ukraine update. Bristling with guns, encased in armour and designed to smash through enemy defences, the tank is surely one of the most terrifying weapons on the modern battlefield. And no country in the world had more of them than Russia. But after a year of all-out war in Ukraine, analysts believe Putin may have lost up to two thirds of his tanks in the largest obliteration of Russian armour since World War Two. The situation is now so dire that Russia’s generals are pulling 70-year-old Cold War relics out of storage to plug the gaps. Meanwhile state-of-the-art British Challenger 2 tanks and German Leopards have started arriving in Ukraine, and could be hurtling towards Russian lines within weeks. This is the story of how the world’s largest tank army was decimated on the killing fields of Ukraine, and what it means for the future of the war.#Ukraine #Russia #Tanks #RussiaTanks #Putin #UkraineTanks
