Another photo for Uran-9[edit]

Perhaps this link https://tass.ru/armiya-i-opk/3600676 might be a suitable source for another photograph of Uran-9. Another link surprisingly suggests https://www.sciencetimes.com/articles/30592/20210410/robotic-russian-tanks-deployed-near-future-despite-ukraine-war-fears.htm photo by Dmitriy Fomin is in Wikimedia Commons. I could find no such image in Commons. --Ancheta Wis   (talk | contribs) 04:32, 13 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Revival of the T-62[edit]

Should the T-62 be added back since it has seen use in the conflict in Ukraine? I think it should be noted however that they are specifically in reserve MBT's that have been bought back into service.Basedosaurus (talk) 14:35, 2 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Extreme inconsistency of numbers - please fix[edit]

There are currently at least three locations with numbers for equipment in the Russian Ground Forces which are deeply inconsistent, for example

Some of this is obviously wrong (how can it be 5000 if a maximum of 1000 and probably more like 300 were produced?) but some of it seems to be copying forward Soviet numbers into Russian inventory (makes sense to say 260 reserve if, say, about 300 were produced).

It would really improve the state of the pages to work through correcting this, probably starting with the individual pages and then working up through to the summary pages. Unfortunately I have no idea where to start. The above numbers are just my understanding after reading the Pion page, I have no idea if they are right or not so I'm not going to start this.

There's also an (unsourced) claim of 1500 T-90 in service with the Russian army, while in the same column, it is stated Russia has only 350. 212.86.49.96 (talk) 15:47, 26 June 2022 (UTC)[reply]

BMD-4M and other BMD are missing[edit]

I noticed there is no mention of BMD-4M and other BMDs. Only BMPs. Can someone please add them? 98.14.201.76 (talk) 05:13, 11 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

The T-90M loss rate.[edit]

I noticed that the T-90M has 29 lost, is there any proof of this number? Photo evidence only shows a total of two T-90Ms lost in Ukraine, one destroyed in March, and one captured in September. I suggest, until this number is backed with real evidence, it is changed to two lost in Ukraine. SirCantDecide (talk) 04:11, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

29 is the total number of t-90/90A/90M lost, not just 90M. Ruslik_Zero 20:45, 10 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Add images of Shahed 136 drone[edit]

Oryx is no relible source[edit]

the mention of losses should be removed until the conflict is over and we get acctual real data. furthermore why are Geran drones listed as Iranian ? according to all official information these are russian made. neither iran is claiming thats their product , at best leave the mention of accusations , but the Flag should be changed to russian. 2001:9E8:2340:D700:54D2:488D:9E98:2CB3 (talk) 02:47, 11 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Your "Gerans" are licensed made Shaheds. Licensed production would still have them listed under Iranian origin. 2601:18C:8C01:B10:ADCE:95D3:C3F2:3C (talk) 18:57, 1 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
By your logic, the Harrier AV-8B should be exclusively put under a British flag, since it's an original UK design. Right?

Russian losses of equipment in Ukraine[edit]

Heavy bias in the sources. Only one reference (Oryx) for almost all of the reportes losses. 186.154.114.124 (talk) 03:08, 28 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Which is very unreliable, to say the least. More a propaganda site than actual informative and objective. I suggest to search for other, more trusted sites, if we want to comply with Wikipedia standards. 139.47.80.100 (talk) 20:26, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
There is no better site. All losses claimed by Oryx are backed up with photographic evidence. 176.10.187.200 (talk) 14:40, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Oryx includes most losses, but the identification as russian or ukrainian is not objective, and has no methodology behind it.
Usage of Oryx as a source is not ideal. Franfran2424 (talk) 14:33, 15 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Honestly why is this even in the details. Shouldn't any details be about the equipment itself, number produced, problems with it idk. What other military equipment has a list of how many were lost in a specific conflict? Gabecube45 (talk) 06:38, 13 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Needs a serious update[edit]

Military balance 2023 is published several days ago. Although it is not perfect, it is much closer to reality than last year's report (which most of the numbers here are based on. ) Russia doesn't have 10 000 tank reserves or 130 t14 armata tanks. This numbers are either outdated or without a source. It should be updated as soon as possible. This is almost Russia's propoganda page. 46.230.131.153 (talk) 01:51, 26 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in List of equipment of the Russian Ground Forces[edit]

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of List of equipment of the Russian Ground Forces's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "ARES":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. Feel free to remove this comment after fixing the refs. AnomieBOT⚡ 20:01, 21 April 2023 (UTC)[reply]

keep losses in the list?[edit]

Should the losses of the different vehicles be kept in the list? In the Ukrainian list, that's not the case either. Onesgje9g334 (talk) 20:26, 12 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

The pro ukrainians writing here need to keep the narrative that only russia loses equipments. They don't even use their only-favorite-pro-Ukrainian source Oryx to count Ukraine's losses. All articles related to the war are so heavily biased that it should not be called Wikipedia but Ukropedia or Oryxpedia. 186.28.0.28 (talk) 18:39, 9 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
It's gonna take about 10 years after the war ends for Wikipedia to even remotely resemble a usable, reasonable source of information on anything relating to this war. Arguing here is a fool's errand, trust me, I tried. It has simply become a NATO fan club. They actually used to have an entire article called "Mariupol Massacre," with 20,000 as the number of "massacred" civilians. I still keep a screen shot of it (and other blunders) for posterity. 93.86.252.166 (talk) 18:57, 26 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
What is the problem with keeping Russian losses? No-one is obliged to record Ukrainian losses. You can add them if you want to. Mztourist (talk) 03:06, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
My point was that they are so inaccurate that it would only make sense to list them after the war. Onesgje9g334 (talk) 15:11, 27 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Oryx is more likely to undercount than anything. Do you think it's more accurate to pretend that Russia still has all that equipment? Mztourist (talk) 03:07, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]
No, these losses are real, but I just wanted it more organized Onesgje9g334 (talk) 16:02, 28 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 14 August 2023[edit]

In the Rocket artillery table of the Artillery section, the "Tornado-S" (description: "9A52-4 Tornado is a lighter more mobile variant of the Tornado-S launcher. ") should be relabeled to just "Tornado". In other words, the last four rows in the table should be:

  • BM-30 Smerch/Tornado-S
  • Tornado
  • Tornado-G
  • Uragan-1M

There seems to be some confusion/debate on whether the Tornado-S (AKA 9A54 launcher vehicle) - which was introduced later than the Tornado (AKA 9A52-4 launcher vehicle) - is a larger variant of the Tornado or a modernized variant of the BM-30 Smerch (9A52-2 launcher vehicle). Either way, the model currently labeled "Tornado-S" should be changed to "Tornado". - Wikkiwonkk (talk) 19:50, 14 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Mosin-Nagant still in use with Russian forces? According to reliable sources that claim they also need tampon? Because they don't have enough bandages? But have enough for Ukraine POW?

I requested to change this weapon is use to ceremony purposes. Or just remove it from the list. I don't think the citation quoted here is reliable information.

Mosin-Nagant incorrectly listed[edit]

If you follow the source cited, it incorrectly cited a wall street journal article which describes the mosin as being issued to DNR and LNR soldiers which at the top of the article says should be listed separately.

BTR-80 quantity section[edit]

On BTR80's own page it is stated that Russia has 1500 regular models and 1200 BTR82 (infantry fighting vehicle) models. The quantity box only says that there are 1500 btr-80s. I think it should talk about both types of BTR80's Slimebor (talk) 13:37, 17 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
