Russia with 5000 tanks is a bit of a stretch given the past 4 years of drone footage we've been watching

Well it was over 10k I believe.

But look what they were counting as tanks. 1950s versions and newer tanks which had being robbed and cannibalized. There's a reason they are sending crappy older tanks into Ukraine.

Yup, and the T14 isn't as advertised. But I'd say you're likely right and that number is quite inflated.

Drones have made tanks more obsolete.
