Fact-based, simple research on military, international relations, economic and power-politics topics. I try to identify patterns.
904th mid-res of 25 Nov 2025. I've counted ~50 tanks, that's about all I could realistically ID.
UVZ has 482 visible as of 4 Nov 2025 (per Covert/Jompy), most likely awaiting repairs/cannibalisation.
I do believe other BTRZs and storage bases have nothing viable left at this point.

Rubtsovskiy low-res of 30 Nov 2025. A considerable thinning out in the central section where the BMP-1/2s were kept for - presumably - repairs. Mid-res of 28 July 2025 for comparison.
Other than 904th, there really isn't much else in the way of worthwhile BMP-1/2s left anywhere, in my view.

904th - 1.5m pic of 27 Aug 2025 (left) and 20 Aug 2025 (right). There are around 50 of what I’m sure are tanks, but the section to the left there - might be tanks, or it might be something else.
Also, moral of the story is: don’t rely on low-res imagery.

1/3 Alright, I'm now trying to keep an eye on UVZ - a BTRZ that's seemingly not been really looked at this war. 30cm pic of 12 Aug 2025.

1/2 Two points about India’s Russian oil imports.

904th low-res imagery of 12 Aug 2025 (with cloud & shadow) vs 8 July 2025 + medium-res of 6 July 2025 for comparison. I am not seeing any tanks here anymore, and the base itself is looking quite a bit thinner than before.

Rubtsovskiy BTRZ 1.5m image of 28 Jul 2025. Looks like the BMPs are still there, little change vs GE of 23 May 2025.

769th 1.5m image of 16 July 2025. As of this date, there is seemingly one row of decent-ish looking T-62s left in the SW section. As I've previously speculated, by now (a month later) it's likely even they are gone. This one is a junker.

6018th 1.5m image of 4 Aug 2025. No tanks, likely junk BMPs, some trucks (as far as I can see). I'd say that this base is kaput.

Omsktransmash 1.5m image of 10 July 2025. Not much change in the yards since May 2025. I consider the visible hulls at this BTRZ junk.

103rd BTRZ 50cm image of 31 July 2025. Not much left here and no replenishment. Jompy has ID'd T-62s, BRDM-2s and BTR-70s here.

7049th 50cm image of 24 Jul 2025. Approx 15 2S3s and 21 2S19s. I note that this is an artillery range and probably a school/training facility.

I'm awaiting UVZ imagery of April 2024 and October 2024. Why? I'm wanting to see the movement of those ~140 tanks kept there as of July 2025. Methinks they've been there a while...
This could turn out the same way as Omsktransmash with all the unusable T-80 hulls strewn about.
Stand by.

There are also these ~30 here - mostly T-90M and T-72, but they're in even worse shape.

1/2 Jompy made a post about UVZ containing a bunch of tanks. I've counted a total of 114. Initially, I didn't ID the T-90Ms correctly - there are about 53 of them here, the rest is T-62s and T-72s. The condition many are in isn't great, so I'd guess these are here for repairs.

At this point, they're really just moving junk around.

Low-res 349th of 1 August 2025. I'm at a loss to explain why they've removed the T-64s. Unless they've found a way to fit T-62/72/80 parts into the hulls (which would be like fitting Toyota parts into a Subaru)? 😂🤷♂️
