If Russia economy would be still locked out of advanced components we'd be buying their newly manufactured crap tanks at prices we dictate, which would be the price of recycled steel and smelt them back to raw material once they leave Russia. Since customer always buys those new tanks would be crappier and crappier.
Eventually we might offer them more money for ore than for tanks so making tanks to sell them is uneconomical for them.
