Out of a pre-war stock of 752 tanks, 670 remain—an impressive retention rate of approximately 89%.

The reasons for maintaining this remarkable retention rate can be attributed to a strategic shift that occurred around June to August 2022. During this period, the base ceased scrapping operations and prioritized conserving available resources in light of a dire military situation.
