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.

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.
