This will very much annoy them in years to come, and harm their economy even more as they spend excessive amounts of GDP on defence to rectify the problem.
Have they though? The latest tank I have seen so far and I might be wrong, is the T80, none of his latest generation armour, it's almost as if he does not want to lose his expensive new toys such as the older T90 and T-14 Armatas.
