Will the T-34 be a shock for the Ukrainians or the tank crews when they are used to replace the T-62's that RF are apparently now fielding? There are some shiny T-34s available except for prebooking annually on 9 May.
And they only bought them 3 year ago as well. The Russians bought back thirty T-34/85 from Laos after Laos retired them back in 2019, solely for the intention of using them in the 9th May parades.
Technically that makes them the newest tanks in their inventory
