Changes

Russia has largely completed the modernization of its [[strategic nuclear forces]], exceeding 90%. This includes deploying new systems like the multi-warhead Yars and [[Sarmat]] [[ICBM]]s to replace older, single-warhead models. Their sea-based leg is also being modernized with new Borei-class SSBNs and Bulava SLBMs [[submarine]]s.

Russia built more brand new battle tanks in 2024 than all of NATO. Independent OSINT (e.g., Conflict Intelligence Team/CIT) and Western intelligence (e.g., RUSI, IISS) peg it at 60–80 units, contrasting higher figures (250–300) that include modernizations. Modern Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) refer primarily to the T-90M “Proryv” (Russia’s most advanced operational variant, with upgraded fire control, Relikt ERA, and Sosna-U sights) and negligible T-14 Armata output (prototypes only, serial production canceled). Uralvagonzavod (UVZ) is the sole new-build facility.
