🚨NEW: Russia bleeds tanks. We wanted to know how long Russia can hold out with the current losses, using heaps of old tanks from military bases. And used #AI to count & analyze fading tanks stocks. Visual investigation as @SZ_Investigativ together with @Se_Gier & @SZ visual team

We trained the AI model a few bases to recognize armored vehicles/tanks/IFV, which needed crisp satellite images. Helped by @picterra, we trained & improved the model, so we can run it on many bases to understand the shrinking stock of vehicle types

What experts at @IISS and @rusi say - that the next two-year window will be crucial to show whether Russia can replenish tanks losses - mirrors our analysis: Fast shrinking & hyperdependence on old stocks, puts pressure on Putin, producing new tanks for the front

This is Great!!! Telegram-Nearby-Map for your daily #OSINT geo stuff, amazing! Used it once or twice, already github.com/tejado/telegra… Joseph Jones put together a quick summary tutorial. Marries well with my explainer on Open Street Map. 👀 @Sector035 os2int.com/toolbox/applyi…

We looked at the biggest military bases on land, abt 87, to understand why experts say that out of 5 tanks Russia sends to the UKR font 4 are used/refurbished. "86% of 1530 tanks delivered were refurbished tanks from storage". Michael Gjerstad, @IISS_org. Stocks aren't bottomless

New tanks, Putin's keen to make. And fast. Many many of them. @Marina_Miron at the Department of War Studies King's College London tells us that Russia could face lacks in western components to do so. The only option: refurbish old ones...

We wondered why Russia takes heaps of rusting rotten tanks from wet military site, that according to @HighMarsed "didnt move for years". "Russia doesnt seem to attempt to hide their stocks and you can look into some bases in the street view on google maps or yandex maps"

How jumpy & touchy the Kreml is right now, with their tank production ramp-up numbers (& whether the pred. they share check out), some doubt. Case in point: Evan #Gershkovich who allegedly spied on Russian tank producer, facing 20 Years in prison

On August 26, 2022, a bomb hits the colorful playground of RES kids Paradise in Mekelle, Ethiopia. Frames of the climbing area, painted walls, iron stilts, it's all that remains. The attack showed what the warring parties, that fought a bloody war in Tigray, were capable of A🧵

Quick #OSINT Thread: how to determine the exact location of a photographer, time, date... from an image and a few other details. A few months back I ran some training on the matter... Where is this? (1)
