I'd politely disagree with alot of that. I don't think much of their stock pile is of much use. Preservation, storage and long term maintenance clearly isn't a strong point. I bet most of it is of little use, much like their tank reserves.
Piled up outside for years and decades, turning into rust. Like most of their equipment.
There's little point in a million man army if you've only transport for half that number.
