Ah …Putin is serious about Russia military complex which can make 1,600 tanks per year. Triple the amount of western 420-440 tanks, Ukraine will receive this year. He means using old refurbished tanks. Factory workers are forced to work 6 day week, 12 hours shift.
Russia inherited a giant inventory of 10,000 old Soviet tanks. If he can buy or smuggle spare parts from somewhere then very possible Ukraine would face more assaults by the Russians.
