  Where does the number 1200 come from? The article mentions 116 for this batch, and 250 for the order last year. Do they already have \~900 tanks in service?
context: One of the many many ways Putin has fucked Russia, is the entire planet now considers Russian weapons to be shit tier.  Putin not only destroyed his own army, he destroyed his own defense industry.  Poland of course was always going to go NATO direction, but lots of other countries are quietly canceling their Russian weapons orders.  And I'm guessing once Bradleys are on the field in Ukraine they are going to absolutely dominate the T72, and countries are going to see that and cancel Russian tank orders. >
  
  Some are canceling the order, but for those that didn't, Russia isn't delivering because they are diverting these export weapons to the front in Ukraine. >
  
  Seems like Russia Was modernizing tanks for another country and then decided to send those tanks to the Ukrainian front. You know tanks they didn’t actually own and we’re being paid to update. >
  
  Yeah, India is pissed >
  
  Are you sure? They got tons of oil. I think they will do fine. >
  
  Jeez 1200+ top of the line MBTs by 2027 when the K2 and M1SepV3 orders are completed.
