New recount of the Russian stockpiles of what is left has started recently, it is not fully done yet but a large chunk is:
Tanks remaining in stockpiles:
142 T-72Bs left but those seem to be reserved for a contract fulfilment later on and have been there for years.
109 T-62s left.
The rest is either in the scrap yard the vast majority of them while there is some in unknown/poor quality that are probably very hard to restore, close to just buying a new one.
IFVs:
630 BMPs out of which 500 are BMP1ns and 130 BMP2s. The deathboxes that Russians didn't want to open at all and are pierced by 7.62 or high caliber 12.7 not to mention turn in to flaming piles of junk from light fpv drone hit.
The rest are once again in the vehicle graveyards or in poor quality of being very hard to restore but technically still possible but would require probably close to a new one to build.
APC:
BTR-60/70/80s ¬650 All of them btr 60-70 and also deathboxes for the same reason as BMP1.
MT-LBs ¬ 343 Highly likely they are not in good quality also because majority of MT LBs have been removed, may be these ones were stripped for parts.
BRDM-2s - 278 Another deathbox as BTR 60/70 and BMP 1 for all of the same reasons.
MT-LBus 549 Since the Russians run out of MTLBs they started canabilizing MTLBus and used them for parts before so this is a good question how many of those 549 are okay. Technically also deathboxes with MTLBs but they are good for their usage.
Artillery:
Type 2025
2S1 948
2S3 524
2S4 142
2S5 292
2S7 41
2S9 290
2S19 70
This includes scrapyard vehicles and poor quality. HIghly likely majority of these have been basically scrapped for barrels excluding the old calibres that Russia doesn't have ammo to use.
MLRS:
BM-21s 88 The main Russian GRAD MLRS basically a Katyusha just a bit more advanced.
BM-27s ¬190 these the Russians don't have enough ammo for so they are not using them much.
BM-30s 2
The is it folks. Some of the equipment mentioned is basically moved to bases closer to restoration plants. The restoration rates started to crumble since around the end of last year and this year and this shows why. Russians are out of "decent" or "good enough" quality of equipment that is fast to restore and everything else remaining is barely restorable or has crucial parts missing that they already stripped like barrels. In 3-4 months vast majority of categories will tumble to a crawl and all categories will be depleted in 8-12 months. And at best, even the restoration of vechicles will require almost building a new one even if from stockpiles. It is just a matter of time before the "decent" or "good enough" quality are fully gone from repair plants and some that were moved closer to repair plant bases.
Soviet stockpiles no longer exist.
Worse -> in the scrapyard.
Poor -> quality is bad but not really in scrapyard yet. Can have turret missing or visible rust/taken out electronics or engine etc. Highly likely will take significant work to restore close to a new one, might be scrapyard material.
Decent -> Seems to be restorable and would cost less than building a new one.
Judgement are done conservatively, if not sure grade higher.
