The fact that you agree with what he said about China, even label him as seeing China "in a friendly way" given what he said tell me more about you actually

So, in your opinion when will China start invading Russia for that sweet sweet Siberian land?
Meaning the boundaries of Russia will never be the same again no matter who is "invading Russsia's sweet Siberian land".

How many of that 12000 are rusting hulks stripped of any moveable parts for sale on the black market?
I have no idea, though I suspect very few. But let's say 4,000 are just to make up a huge number. Wouldn't affect my argument at all, nor the one Stealth was making. Russia is the one country in the world that will never run out of tanks. And now that the Russians got the hell out of northern Ukraine, their loss rate for armored vehicles will decline tremendously (it already has in fact).

People really understimate the amout of tanks the Soviet Union built and how many are left mothballed in good enough condition to be pressed into service relatively quickly.

My question is do they currently have enough trained tank crew to effectively operate those MBT?:confused: Even during the Soviet Union era, those tank productions comes with at least close to the number of tank crews to operate it. I'm not sure about today. Someone can please fill me in on that.

They probably have more tanks than people to man them, given that the USSR had 16 extra countries were to draw manpower from for WW3

Restoring the rusting hulk of tank is actually very possible. rust ? sandblast it. Engine ? either order new or stock it.

This is example of such work. All T-72 here are pulled from graveyard basically.

Don't forget the metal cage for the turret.
