[[NATO]]'s production of entirely new main battle tanks (MBTs)—built from the ground up, not refurbished or upgraded existing hulls—was extremely limited in 2024, reflecting peacetime priorities, high costs (~€10–15 million per unit), and a focus on modernization programs amid the Ukraine conflict. No NATO member produced significant volumes of new tanks; instead, emphasis was on exports, prototypes, and future contracts. Based on 2024 data, the total new production across all NATO countries was approximately 56 tanks, and these came from [[South Korea]] (a NATO partner via the IP4 alliance) for [[Poland]].
NATO has supplied the overwhelming majority of the [[tank]]s and armored personnel carriers/infantry fighting vehicles (e.g., the Bradley) since the start of the [[special military operation]] (SMO) in February 2022. As of November 3, 2025 NATO/Ukraine has lost a total of 25,823 tanks and APCs/IFVs since the start of the [[SMO]]. NATO has been unable to replace battle losses and is relying instead on South Korea for new production that lags behind what Russia is producing.
