3. I saw on Twitter a video of Ukraine taking down a T-90

....in the comments, everyone was cheering. I saw something different, it was getting hit hard but still kept firing back and giving as good as it got. That shit scared me.

But, tanks are sort of obsolete. They are nothing more than mobile artillery platforms now. It's why Russia keeps the T-90's mostly out of direct combat and firing from afar. They send the older Soviet tanks into combat knowing full well many won't survive, but can't blame them. It costs money to dismantle them and they have been taking up space in storage, why not toss the lot of them and see what they can do? Maybe learn a thing or two along the way.
