#1 I wonder how many of these will end up in the service of the Ukrainian military like a lot of their other equipment. They have restocked the Ukr with T-90s, air defense systems, counterbattery radar and control, 152mm SP arty, more BMP/BMD/BTR than you can shake a stick at, and even acouple of SIGINT/ELINT ops vehicles.

#2 Meanwhile 800 "modernized" Soviet era T-62's pulled out of mothballs for service. Looks like big times ahead.

They are "modernizing" them. They aren't currently. Also aka.... slapping crappy ERA panels on them. Doesn't fix the underpowered gun for today's standards as it can't support the pressure and the weak armor compared to today's standards.

The crews are dead men walking.
