Ukraine could have more tanks than Russia for the first time, new data suggests.
A compilation of data from various sources suggests Ukraine currently has roughly 1,500 active tanks compared with around 1,400 for Russia, Bloomberg reported.
While Ukraine's tank fleet has continued to grow, Russia's has been severely depleted.
Ukraine has received 471 additional tanks since the war began last year, and a further 286 are still due to arrive, per data published by the Kiel Institute for the World Economy,During the conflict, Ukraine has lost 558 tanks and captured 546, data from open-source outlet Oryx suggests.
