New tanks or old T-72 tanks being upgraded?
It looks to be a mixture of what I assume are new T-90's in the video and mostly new or upgraded used T-72 or T-80's in the photo from inside the factory.
Russia can mass produce both the T-72 and T-80 with upgraded armour, night vision etc. The T-90 will be more limited in numbers and anything is likely to be on hold.

Great news.
Pessimistically though, it's too little, and potentially, too late. It's almost like bailing the Titanic with a bucket.
That's perhaps an extreme analogy, but it doesn't feel like it's far off the mark.
I don't know. Russia has been making slow progress with Ukraine almost completely out of ammo. I think this will give them the morale boost they need along with the means to beat the Russians back. It's still not going to be a walk in the park but I don't quite believe it will be too late.Pessimistically though, it's too little, and potentially, too late.
