How can we 'come on' we don't even have 53 operational tanks. According to reports we have 82 and if we're lucky 30% (24) are operational.
Because governments say 'we are not at risk of land invasion from Russia', so they don't fund the maintenance needed beyond a few needed for training duty.
The operational ones are in Latvia, most likely.
On the other side of the spectrum, the US has over 10,000 Abrams tanks, because the pork barrel nature of the military industrial complex keeps churning out tanks that go directly to storage with no tankers to operate them.
