You assume they don't have cold war era bunkers full of tanks
Even if they did you're assuming they're not all just buckets of rust.
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 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)
