:I have updated losses from Oryx, you are welcome to do so in future. I don't think we can update storage numbers as they're based on satellite imagery and likely to be inaccurate. [[User:Mztourist|Mztourist]] ([[User talk:Mztourist|talk]]) 05:24, 10 May 2024 (UTC)
::That's not true. You have The Military Balance numbers, which is the same source as was used for the 2021 numbers that figure in the article. But for some reason nobody updates this article with TMB2024 numbers. [[Special:Contributions/66.81.171.54|66.81.171.54]] ([[User talk:66.81.171.54|talk]]) 10:09, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
== Better or more source needed than just a single source for current Russian losses ==
Military Balance 2023 for example. Oryx is not 100% true and their supposed photographic evidence can be easily manipulated. Both side use the same tanks and vehicles, which makes hardly recognizable destroyed vehicles even harder to be recognized which side using it, and oryx often attribute unrecognizable losses as Russians losses. Also some of their "evidence" also include telegram text that supposedly claimed losses of either sides, and sometime visually damaged vehicle are sometime counted as full destruction. Even in the past wikipedia consider oryx as unreliable source, become reliable overnight only because a lot of mainstream media using it (and other exaggerating or sensationalist or nonsensical news report because they were published by what wikipedia considered reliable media source, for example, Forbes, Newsweek, and some other). At best, using only military balance 2023 as source for current Russian military stockpile just like in some Russian equipment list and using oryx only when no other source can be used to estimate other kind of Russian equipment.
