Part 5/6:
A key factor in the count of remaining tanks is the shift away from scrapping vehicles at the base. Previously, various tanks had been dismantled, but this activity has since diminished significantly. Consequently, the total tank count now includes vehicles that were once categorized solely as scrap. Anticipating future repairs and operational needs is essential; many of these tanks will likely be redirected to repair facilities for decomposition into parts for other operational units.
However, as counts fluctuate, the assessment reveals a broader spectrum of vehicle status. If one were to disregard some heavily damaged tanks that rest in the eastern sector of the base, the figure could adjust downwards significantly.
