The russians have started running out of modern tanks (t90,t80,t72) and are upgrading very old ones ( t62).

Yes, but all of those tanks were designed and produced AFTER WW2. Saying they’re turning on WW1 tank production is like saying Ford is turning on its Model T factory to build more NASCAR race cars.

I think the original commenter just said ww1 as a way to emphasize the sheer loss of equipment.

Mor like early 1960s equipment. The t80s and t72 are 1970s equipment.

That’s fascinating. They are really grasping at straws now.

The Russians are rolling into Ukraine with Tsar tanks.
