  1. Perhaps not. Some of the tanks have already had parts pulled from them, lowering their status from rebuildable to parts vehicles. Also, you may not get all the parts you need from a single donor vehicle. In a perfect world, it's one parts tank for multiple repaired tanks. I think in 2023 counts there were a number of tanks that all got stripped of turrets. You may need multiple donor tanks to get one other tank rebuilt. And those donor parts don't magically reappear. Many donor vehicles may have been on the easier side to rebuild at the beginning of the conflict, but got the best parts pulled to get other ones on the front. You're going to be utilizing a whole spectrum of vehicles. Considering Russia wasn't planning on having an extended conflict, they probably didn't source parts from the worst units first.

  2.  @Pilvenuga  Yes there are plenty of Americans who can't drive manuals. There are also many who can. OPFOR equipment is usually kept as close to stock as possible.

  3. ​ @Polearm Yes, because China has access to those Nukes? Also, dropping a shell doesn't usually activate the fuse. Not to mention you can't fly out of the blast zone. So it's strictly a suicide mission. But if we ignore all of that...sure.

  4. Counting tank losses from Russia feels like Zeno's Paradox.
