I have a rational dislike of dictators who send their armies to invade neighbouring countries.
Sadly, you approve.

If that is the case, why did you support the overthrow of Ukrainian democracy by Ukranian nationalists.
Why don't you face the fact that the EU and others must share responsibility for what has happened in Ukraine.
They openly agitated for the overthrow of a legitimate leader of a democratic state, simply because he refused their offer of a trade deal.

There was a civil war going on in Ukraine due to the fact that extreme nationalists supported by the EU overthrew the legitimate leader of that country.
Why are you in denial about the origins of this conflict.

Remind us again, which country invaded another sovereign country in Europe last year?
Actually the latest estimates are they've lost around 40% of the pre-war active tank fleet. They've brought more out of the reserves but the quality of those varies heavily. T62s aren't a good replacement for T80s.

Since those estimates are backed up with individual photographs it's very hard to argue that Russia hasn't ****ed away several armies worth of armour.
But if you want comedy claims then the Russian MoD is hard to beat. It seems they're in the wrong industry as they clearly can't fight a war.
Russian army has lost up to half of key battle tanks, analysts estimate
Experts say Moscow has large number of cold-war era models in storage so can continue war in Ukraine for some time

There are photos (multiple normally) of 1733 different tanks that have either been captured by Ukraine or destroyed.
It's likely some tanks have been lost but not posted to Twitter. But perhaps they've all just been photoshopped and Russia has actually conquered Ukraine already and are just tricking NATO into providing more kit.

We've seen some of those 80's T62s already. They don't use the same ammo as later tanks so they may not be able to make for shells for them if they run out. Other than stocks, spare parts all come from the factory. In Ukraine.
Not the latest at all, but It depends what they're up against. T-55s have been doing well for Syria.
TASS reported that deliveries of the best/latest latest in T-72 models, BM3's iirc, were delivered in 2022; but what's in "a batch"?
It'll be interesting to see what lines up for a fight, imminently.
A decent report with Ukraine losses quoted, and some good clips:

NATO's badly kept secret: Ukraine's backers struggle to keep up with demand of munitions in race against Russia
Cold war cuts, COVID-related supply issues, and a lack of raw materials have taken their toll on Ukraine's western allies - but there has not been the political will to produce more munitions.
The B3 version is a refurbishment of older model T72 tanks. Its a pretty comprehensive overhaul. A new gun, optics, engine and better ERA.We've seen some of those 80's T62s already.

Batch is indeed vague.
