Question for anyone who wants to answer:
How long do you think the war will last and how will it end? Another year, 5 years? stuck in stalemate? nuclear hellfire? russian/ukranian surrender? diplomacy?
I will admit i was amongst the people who thought russia would just carpet bomb kiev american style the first weeks, now i see this dragging along for atleast 3 years or 5 years without a precise ending on sight, of course the nuclear holocaust probability is higher than 0 at the moment but i really doubt the rich elite want to give out their luxury lifestyles to reign ashes and fallout, so i don't see that happening anytime soon.
Honestly, at this point who knows what´s gonna happen next.

I think the war will last another year minium.
Neither side is strong enough (at this time of writing) of gaining a compete advantage in the war.

All you have to do is Be Patient. It usually takes 2 weeks to flatten things and take cities.

I bet you don't even change the oil and replace the filter in your car yourself, let alone know how to take out, drop in and hook up a new tranny (lol transmission).
I can do the first in a driveway; I can also do the second but that requires a garage, ie a specialized workplace with a lift and specialized tools. I can grab oil and filters at any auto parts store but a new/rebuilt transmission has to be delivered to me in a vehicle equipped to do so.
Repairing a tank is not the same, but the same principles apply; if someone blows up the garage and there isn't a way to get a replacement transmission to me then I'm shit out of luck. It's like the short bus crowd here doesn't understand simple logistics and maintenance.

Given that nearly all 6000+ tanks in Russian storage are in an irreparable state, neither do Russians.

Pre war counts of Russian tanks, minus estimated losses (100% of the initial invasion force’s tanks), corroborated by satellite counts of current stockpiles showing stagnation.

Auschwitz is in Poland, and the director who refused to give Russia an invitation is also a Pole.
Although with the amount of reparations they demand from everyone, you can write down the use of the Holocaust as a Polish tradition.

they have as long as the gun isnt the issue. Welding slaps of metal on rust holes and fixing cables with tape is what most russians do anyway.
those t72 are pretty primitive...
Isnt that some russian grape drink?

As with almost everything in this war, there are no 100% concrete proof
But, think about it a bit. Russia has for centuries been plagued by corruption and embezzlement, especially during Soviet time. Tho, during this time they had the military spending and GDP to keep up with it. Soviet Union collapsed, Russia become a kleptocratic disaster for atleast 10 years and then they have slowly been building up, althought still being a corrupt kleptocracy from within. Keeping up with nukes and all those reserves would cost an immense amount of money, something that Russias military spending doesnt account for, especially when including corruption in the mix. There are also several pictures of these areas with old reserve tanks, most of them are rotting. At best, they can be used for spare parts to repair and restore older tanks. Russias ability to produce modern tanks with modern systems is limited, especially with new sanctions
Of course, this is not absolute truth. Just speculation based on tons of pictures, reports and theory. Its all up to you if you want to believe in Russian supremacy or not
Look at which vehicles are used most in the Ukraine war, from both sides its mostly tanks originating from the 70s and earlier, same with other armored vehicles. Russias armored fleet doesnt consist of modern vehicles, but mostly 30-40 year old systems or said systems but upgraded a bit. Its a delayed cold war galore, took 30 years but its here.
But still, tactics and training has a much larger impact. If the west throws hundreds of modern tanks, they surely will be much better than what russia is countering with but would still take big losses. As arabs cant fight, several modern western tanks got BTFO'd by tank-killer teams. Although, western tanks have much higher potential when coupled with good training.
Honestly, in the current numbers i also think that the tanks supplied by the west are overrated. Western tanks are absolutely superior, but only when coupled with good doctrine and air support. Ukraine has only some of the doctrine and none the the air support. Would be better to just buy hundreds of cheap older tanks and slap a bunch of modern sensors and reactive armor on it, coupled with modern IFVs

It less believing in Russia's supremacy than being able to admit you don't know because Russia doesn't release that information to the public, and there isn't reliable way to confirm it. The US is more open but doesn't disclose everything either.
Anyone saying they know for sure about Russia or the US is a moron; Ukraine on the other hand can't hide the fact it's inventory is getting decimated by the day.

Well if you can't hide the decimation of your inventory, you can at least try to downplay it a bit
but as long as there's money to be made, they'll keep the machine going
At the Pentagon, push to send F-16s to Ukraine picks up steam
Kyiv has renewed its request for modern fighters in recent days after the U.S. and Germany approved transferring tanks.

All parties are somewhat secretive, absolutely. Information isnt exclusive tho, or globalized digital presence makes data much more available
But excluding Ukraine from that doesnt match at all, Russia is in a full out war, just the same as Ukraine. Both Russia and Ukraine cant hide the fact their inventory is getting decimated by the day, the difference is that Russia has ( via geolocated and photographed sources ) lost much more material than Ukraine ( not surprising as Russia has been the invader, used outdated tactics, quite old equipment and had limited aerial support. And Ukraine has the western potential for replacing their inventory, Russia has to rely on imports from rogue nations such as Belarus, NK and Iran ( mostly old soviet equipment ) and their own domestic production
From most sources, Ukraine has atleast the same amount of materiel as they had in the beggining of the war.
Its basically a major power with 10x the GDP of the minor country invading said country but the minor country fights with a western lifeline. No side has aerial superiorty and mostly fights with obsolete soviet tactics

"Ha! Get ready Putler, 1000 Leopard 2's and Abrams are coming! 600 top of the line tanks are on their way as we speak. 100 tanks are gonna push you all the way out of Ukraine, and when 60 tanks roll into Moscow and you are looking down the barrel of 13 tanks, you'll know that Ukraine and Freedom™ will always win!"
