The Russian government is showcasing advanced military equipment around the world at military equipment fairs. For example, they displayed a system designed to protect armored vehicles. They argued that if you value your crews and armored vehicles, then you would need this system. However, the Russians have been pressing Soviet era military equipment into service. There appears to be a contrast between what the Russians are showing at these fairs, and what their Soldiers are using in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

From the Business Insider:<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

The promotional material for the system says that it “defeats the threats that are most dangerous for armoured vehicles … if you value your armour and crews you need Arena-E.”<\/p>\n

But, the MOD said, “there has been no evidence of Arena-E systems being installed on Russia’s own vehicles in Ukraine, where it has lost over 5,000 armoured vehicles. This is likely due to Russian industry’s inability to manufacture high-tech systems at scale; a problem which is exacerbated by the effect of international sanctions.”<\/p>\n

Russian state news agency TASS reported last month that the company behind the Arena-E system would display it at the IDEX-2023 international weapons show in the United Arab Emirates in late February. TASS also said that other Russian defense companies were due to show off “more than 200 full-scale samples of weapons and military equipment, ammunition and gear” at the event.<\/p>\n

The global presentations come as Russia struggles to replace tanks and other equipment being lost in Ukraine.<\/p>\n

Russia has lost around 1,800 tanks since February 2022, according to open source intelligence platform Oryx, with the country losing about 150 tanks a month in Ukraine. Its only tank factory is able to produce just 20 vehicles a month.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
