From the transcript

In the unending coverage of the still ongoing Russia-Ukrainian War, there is a particular claim about Putin's tank forces that keeps reappearing from time to time.

And that is the claim that he has lost so many tanks that he has had to resort to helping himself to examples the otherwise sat languishing in museums, which you can see in articles such as this one and this one. But is there a truth to this?

It's certainly a more than fair question, as while the war certainly isn't going well for Russia, the notion of pulling tanks from museums seems a bit out there, doesn't it? At least on a certain level.
