When we start seeing lend lease Studebaker trucks we’ll know things are getting grim.
So, is the Soviet army running out of tanks?
Wait until they start flying Lend/Lease P-39 Airacobras.
My guess is these old Soviet-era tanks will be "Javelin bait" for Ukraine to waste their Javelin missiles on.
Only if Russia decides to share its Javelin stockpile with the Ukrainian cannon fodder...
“amphibious”
I guess that is so when they try to cross a river, get nailed, and photos show a bunch of them at the bottom, they can claim that “All normal, there is no problem. They are just waiting there for a surprise attack.”.
The newest of these antiques was built in 1969. Easy to kill for even an old RPG - which is why they were retired.
The ‘PT’ in PT-76 standing for ‘portable target’.

So, it’s a PR firm.
If they make the tanks remotely driven, that might not be a bad idea
“produced from 1951 to 1967”
So that’s why they lifted the age cap and need to recruit all those over 50 into the war. Someone needs to know how to drive these things.
The spice must flow, regardless of the source, don’t you know.
reclaiming them from the jungles of Vietnam???
Those things were around when I was in the Army. Real pieces of crap.
Woot, more useless Russian hardware going to the blackhole named Ukraine.....

Yes. They are now dipping into their 10,000 T-62s, half probably are operational.
