LOL, India doesn't want T-62's?
The T-62/T-55 tanks could be effective if they attacked en masse. They sure built a lot of them.
True, but I'm sure tank crews would rather have the additional protection of being in a T-90.
Quantity has a quality all it’s own.
“Quantity has a quality all it’s own.”
Massing the tanks in preparation for an attack would make them easy targets
Right. Armor will always need air cover when on the offensive. That is a given.
India has more T-90’s than anyone, certainly many more than Russia. Over 2000 units in service.
And another 2000+ T-72’s in various states of upgrade.
We knew this was coming, and Putin’s embrace by Xi is not going to endear Russia to India for very long. India will up its game on improving its own domestic military industry and making additional agreements with European and Israeli suppliers.
Russia is Libya with snow.
A horribly corrupt dictatorship presiding over the dissolution of its nation.
But with nukes.
Tells much about a society that places so little value on the lives of the soldiers.
This is CNN Breaking Wind whistling past the graveyard.
Why are CNN articles on any subject whatsoever permitted on FR? It is a clear effort to generate views and thus advertising revenue for the company, that then flows as Dem donations from salary recipients.
“Right. Armor will always need air cover when on the offensive. That is a given.”
Russia’s lack of air superiority is a big problem for them. The other is UKRs extremely accurate artillery .

But India loves cheaper oil imports from Russia.
India needs the weapons to confront China. Russians weapons don’t work. Our arms industry should crank up to meet the demand-to hell with world opinion.
In the U.S. the blacks and Jooz vote democrat-go figure.
well do remember that India’s foes are Pakistan and China, not the USA or any western country.
The failure of Russian arms in Ukraine is going to prompt India to move away from Russian weaponry
Jooz remember the exclusion status from holocaust era.
Democrats pretend to be the inclusivity party which is why non-European immigrants (90%+ of new immigrants) and jooz vote democrat, even if it hurts their pocket book.
In reality GOP is more inclusive than democrats who are hell bent on classifying people based on race and gender and other things.
