Journalists are resorting to reading death notices in Russian newspapers or watching railway stations or reading blogs from angry mothers of dead soldiers, to determine actual loss rates.
        In contrast to the Ukrainian losses, all Russian ones are classified.
        There are tons of materials over the issue, mostly in Russian language. I can advise you https://informnapalm.org/en/

        • A great historic talk on the Scorp, and why the Brits ditched it so quick. (most of theirs gained turrets from CVRW Fox, to become Sabres).
          For now, everything hangs on implementation of the CoDF report.

            IMHO this light tank (30-35t) could be an outstanding vehicle fort hose who can't buy MBTs.
            It was a CV-90 with a different shell AFAIK. Just go buy a CV-90 or, better, a Lynx.

              The PL-01 was only ever a mock-up, it was to show what could be possible rather than being a real proposal.

              • So it was a real life hover tank then...
                An army is power. Its entire purpose is to coerce others. This power can not be used carelessly or recklessly. This power can do great harm. We have seen more suffering than any man should ever see, and if there is going to be an end to it, it must be an end that justifies the cost. Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain

                  Hover Tanks are real; well the Russians have looked at it at least twice.

                                If they "replaced" the Scorpions then what will replace AML 90s?
                                It was the year of fire...the year of destruction...the year we took back what was ours.
                                It was the year of rebirth...the year of great sadness...the year of pain...and the year of joy.
                                It was a new age...It was the end of history.
                                It was the year everything changed.
