According to Newsweek, military experts and former commanders have said that Russia’s army is running out of resources. And Putin is running low on fuel, missiles, bullets, and other supplies. Heavy losses in armored vehicles make the crisis even worse.

Open-source intelligence estimates suggest that Russia has lost 2,000 tanks and armored vehicles during the conflict. The T-72 battle tanks are the most used vehicles of the Russian army. And hundreds have been destroyed or abandoned in Mariupol alone.

Video of Ukrainian farmers towing away tanks that have run out of fuel or been abandoned by Russian troops is appearing on social media.

 Launching systems for the T-72 tank missiles are exclusively manufactured in the eastern Ukrainian city of Izyum. And so far, Russian forces have not been able to capture the city.

Russia will also have problems restocking Kh-55 cruise missiles. These missiles are air-to-ground. The Kh-55 engine is manufactured in Kharkiv, Ukraine. Another city that has been fighting off the Russian invaders.
