Re: MBT's
A little something about our favorite Russian tank and they have only 20 of them of which the threshold was much higher for the OPLOT-M to "join the club"...

And there are so many more and how many years ago did I bring up the engine issue? You don't build tanks around the engine!  !!
This next will show this similar situation existed with a couple of German WWII tanks.

But Russia did build an improved T-90M and fielded it a year ago or so as posted.
