Well yeah its still not going all out even if they are using what they have. Russia going all out produces like 1500 t34 a month, 3000 PPSH a day. Like I have been trying to mention, they aren’t in total war mode. People are still working for domestic companies doing normal work. They aren’t being conscripted to tank factories. If they were it would be a different story that’s for sure.

Where are you getting those production numbers from? This isn’t a video game where every turn the bear player gets 1,500 new tanks — their true capacity depends on complex supply chains, skilled people, and the impact of sanctions on their ability to pay for everything. You’re claiming figures at least order of magnitude higher than they’re reportedly hitting, and it’s really hard to believe that they’re slacking that hard on a core part of a war critical to Putin staying in power.
But in terms of total assets deployed, they are currently all-in. Attrition being what it is, they are reducing their Soviet stockpiles at a prodigious rate and are currently activating 40’s and 50’s equipment.
This is all extremely well documented by open sources. People are counting tanks on military bases using satellite images. Check out Perun on YouTube. He’s a defense economics expert that posts a 70 minute PowerPoint presentation every Sunday, complete with sources and references.
