700 useable tanks with an expected loss rate that in at least a year and a half the Russians will have tank problems. It seems far in the future but it's less than half of how long it's been.
So how much would this impact their combat effectiveness? You mostly hear about cruise missiles and guys being marched into drones in the one-the-ground reporting, although obviously armoured stuff happens.
Even with Chinese chips, I don't expect they'll get much better at fixing modern tanks, though, so that's somewhat mitigated unless they get direct help from a less incompetent party. (I haven't watched the video yet)

Ukraine needs to be supplied greatly in tanks from the west in response.

Don't worry, 100% of them will be scrapped.

You assume they don't have cold war era bunkers full of tanks

Why would russia be deploying so many T-64, T-62 and even T-55 tanks if they had "cold war era bunkers full" of better tanks?

Even if they did you're assuming they're not all just buckets of rust.
