minus-square@severienlinkEnglish39•1 year agoThe bad news is that Russia still has ~60 of those. The good news is that they can’t replace the losses, the production line was scrapped 30 years ago. The supposed successor, PAK DA, continues being a vaporware.
minus-square@carl_dungeonlinkEnglish19•1 year agoI’d be surprised if more than 30 can actually fly right? I mean, only a fraction of their working tanks were real.
