The U.S Geological Survey is estimating that the Death Toll from the Earthquake in Turkey alone could be in the 1000s with the number in the entire Region being much more significant.

US Army Tank-Automotive Command (TACOM) would call that a "zero mile rebuild" of the drivetrain and electricals.
We are not seeing the most important parts for a modern tank.
The electronics for the fire controls, gun sights, and digital radio command & control gear.

The tank hulls look to have been sandblasted to bear metal, primed & painted better than 'like new,' at a guess.
The cables & wire harness in the video is new and the engine has the cleanliness of being fresh out of overhaul/rebuild.

This is what a top quality depot level tank overhaul facility looks like.
Note the housekeeping - cleanliness - and organization of tools, jigs, assemblies and part bins.
There is a chain drive in the floor to hook vehicles into & pull them forward.

Compared to logistical trains of Western army's, the Russian Army lacks wreckers.
So that is ~5,000 liters of fuel which is not reaching its assigned Russian Army mission objective on time, if at all.😈

The Russian truck has a cab over engine truck design.
The crush damage in the head on crash is smack dab on the radiator & it is leaking radiator fluid.
The fuel truck involved in the crash is done until the Russians replace it's radiator.

There is more than one way to suffer non-battle casualties in war.
This 3 Feb 2023 Reddit post has a Tik-Tok video of a Russian fuel truck convoy running a red light in Donbas.
The POV is from a vehicle dash cam stopped at a red light.

When the untrained Russian Mobiks started showing up in number, the higher the daily Russian casualties.

Replying to @PeterZeihan
Actually, give the lack of Russian training & logistics to support this Mobik surge.
It is pretty good math.
When the untrained Russian Mobiks started showing up in number, the higher the daily Russian casualties.

We need to stop “we do this too” equating. The US does air and maritime collection outside of China’s airspace and territorial waters. This balloon is in US airspace and over the continental United States. It is markedly different and a provocation.
