The russian military is experiencing problems with the availability of spare parts for repairing damaged equipment. In order to somehow solve this problem, they "cannibalize" equipment damaged on the battlefield

A photo of one of the "graveyards" of damaged equipment of the russian occupying forces, which is now used by the enemy as a source of spare parts, appeared in the public domain. Among the large number of vehicles, you can even see one damaged and disassembled newest russian T-90M Proryv tank.

This tank already lacks elements of side armor, elements of the Relict dynamic defense system, which are located on the turret, and the Sosna-U sight, which was probably destroyed or also dismantled for possible use on another vehicle of a similar type. The corresponding image was made publicly available by OSINT analyst Naalsio.

In the published photos, you can also see damaged equipment of other types: the BMP-2 infantry fighting vehicle, the 1V14 battery command and forward observer vehicle and the R-149МА1 command and staff vehicle.

It seems paradoxical that currently the russian military-industrial complex, which, according to russian propagandists, is capable of producing up to 10-15 T-90M Proryv tanks per month, cannot provide the russian troops with the required number of components.
