20,000 sounds about right. Lots are T-72s and even some T-55s in reserve stocks. I think they have about 10,000 of the T-64, T-80 and T-90 models. They used to have about 60,000 tanks back in the 70s, but some 40,000 of those were T-55s, T-54s, and even T-34/85s.

Note that I did not mention T-62s. The Soviets retired those and did not keep very many because they were just awful tanks.

In other words, half of their tanks aren’t much good for anything. If the gun still works, they should give them to some country somewhere as stationary howitzers, then start selling them ammo.

T-62 like the U.S. Sheridan?

Over 9,000 M1’s have been built, which tank fleet would you rather have?
