Perun talked about that two weeks ago (https://youtu.be/nQLI8xnINqk?si=fh-d-WXtQAEBXsi7, 64min).
If I remember correctly, the gist is that Russia can keep this up for a while, but the quality of the equipment is going down, not up. And in two years or so they will run out.

And here is another related video (https://youtu.be/bJK5NYxGNOQ?si=z_8zYB0bMqqsxD0Y, 11min).
Basically the same message. Russia is at an advantage right now, but the West can catch up, if we want to.

Wow, that's a crazy amount of storage they have.

Absolutely. Not sure what it does to morale, though, if the tanks you're receiving are getting older and older.

A new tank crew pressed to the front because their predecessors died wouldn't know the difference.

They won't live long enough to worry much.
