Russia cannot build that many tanks anymore. They could expand their industry, but there is a cost to that they they don't want to pay.

They could expand their industry,

They've been doing that for over a year and I'm confident that they've hit their limit. Their current unemployment rate is estimated at 3.8%, salaries are skyrocketing as industries compete with each other for available workers, and inflation is out of control. Those are all strong indicators that their labor pool has turned into a puddle.

The only way they could expand any further is to start using migrant labor and who the hell, aside from North Koreans and maybe some Chinese, are going to migrate into Russia right now? Especially in sufficient numbers to make any kind of a difference.
