Russia might be restarting production of the Soviet era T-80 Tank!
Some analysis from Red Effect.
The T-80BVM was last built in 1996 and it's going to be restarting production because it's apparently proved it's valuable worth in the Ukrainian Special Military Operation.
Among the new features boosted will include accessories which will prove 100% protection to top attack munitions from drones and NATO wonderwaffen like the Javelin, NLAW and though unmentioned also probably HIMARS rockets, Hellfire missiles, Mavericks, JDAMs, Storm Shadows, the GDI Ion Cannon etc as well. Why not?

If 'a tank is a tank' is the major lesson of the current conflict so far where even tanks like the Leopard 2 / Challenger 2 have proven... not to be wunderwaffen..., a fully modern T-80 is better than most and especially compared to expensive boondoggle vaporware like the T-14.
Knowing their electronics supply problems, it won't be "fully modern", it will be kinda sorta freshened up, and might pop up new "surprises" that will not get caught in testing on account of hastily found replacement components for too old/no longer available ones not working well together.
In the Iraq war, the Western Allies had complete air superiority, and were able to quickly destroy Saddam's remaining conventional forces from on high.
The Challenger II was "invincible" against Arab insurgents with vintage Soviet-era export-model munitions, and improvised weapons.

Yep, a true/high-intensity war against near-level opponents is a bit different.
The Russian military has displaced the United States as the most powerful military in the world.
But don't worry, America is still number two, which is still pretty good.

It's been discussed before but countries that seem to be particular screwed are India where over half of their arms imports come from Russia, as well as Vietnam where it's almost 75%. This is probably doubly concerning since the other major supplier of Soviet-ish arms would be China and both probably see China as a rival to their own interests. Also Israel is a major secondary supplier for both powers but alas... now Israel is caught up in its own thing.
Syria getting 95% of its arms from Russia is also probably facing difficulties but its a matter of perspective for a country still fractured by a decade plus long Civil War.
To a lesser extent Azerbaijan might've been impacted but they have shown themselves to be militarily superior to their main rival Armenia and also have the backing of Turkey as an ally.
Kazakhstan and Belarus get 85% and 99% of their arms imports from Russia but have no real geopolitical threats beyond Russia itself in Kazakhstan's case IMHO and Belarus' is under the safety of the CSTO and basically a client of Russia atm anyways.
Venezuela really shot itself in the foot though in the past few decades. Hopefully they don't have to invest in any larger scale conflicts but if they do, they like other countries on the list could probably go to China or others for arms since unlike India and Vietnam, China isn't exactly a geopolitical rival to them.
Iran and China meanwhile do get a fair portion of arms from Russia but also have pretty well developed domestic arms industries too. Vietnam and India etc also do, but not to quite the internal scale AFAIK as those countries.

India though has been attempting to diversify its suppliers for quite some time, precisely for this reason. Hence procurement of Rafale, e.g.
Russia is apparently still working with Iran on trying to shift more construction of the cheap Iranian Shahed drones in Russia itself.

Can Russia sell while in a war?
I mean they could... but I get what your saying. The Attack Helicopters especially would be rather premium I would imagine. Maybe they could afford to sell radars and jet trainers though since I don't think they're in danger of losing large numbers of those.
Why not? they do not use attack helicopters now anyway.And,as @Husky_Khan said,do not lost many radars or trainer aircrafts.
