True, America has more thanks than Russia. BUT, Russia has less than half the population of America, 140 million compared to 325 million. SO, in terms of per capita, Russia has more tanks than America has.

On what basis are you taking population as a bench mark for firepower comparison?, in a real war russia will be comparitively short on tanks when compared to the america because here we have to think in terms of land mass each has to defend, russia is several times bigger than the Us so russia needs a lot more tanks to effectively defend her territory.

Nope. Only the borders need to be defended. Siberia don't need to be defended. No one can live there anyway. Too cold.

russia has not 1900 T-72B3... they have 1900 T-72 only 400 of them are T-72B3 the rest are older versions.

Another 600 are upgraded to T-72B3 standard. Make that 1000 T-72B3.

curently they have 400T-72B3 in service not 1000.... they also wanted to buy 2300 T-14 till 2020... all they did in real was buying 100 till 2020 and most likely not a single more... dont mix planed with real...

Russia is the largest country on earth by size...

Their economy limits are that of Spain... with a similar GDP

By ur logic we should back away from siachen as it too cold to live up there, mate what u are advocating is exactly what the romans thought when they left the routes from the alps into italy undefended and later watched with horror, helpless as hanibal crossed the alps to invade italy. I rest my case.

I guess his enthusiasm clouds his judgement on military strategy.

They have more T-72 upgraded to T-72B3. The 400 was only the first batch done in 2013.
