Send in old tanks until Ukraine uses all their anti-tank missiles, threaten other countries with nukes to not re-supply them, they get re-supplied anyway and Russia has to think really hard if they wan to let a big-boy off the chain.
Tanks aren't to be used for more than mobile artillery since drones and computer guided anti-tank missiles became common, they're expensive and somewhat obsolete so why waste money on new ones if you're Russia and don't have a lot of money?
Russia now has the T-14 tank with advance counter measures that can stop drone and anti-tank missiles. It can even stop incoming sabots shot from other tanks.
Russia likely has the most advanced tank in the world.
Reactive armor works pretty well against ground fired kinetic and chemical rounds. Anti-javelin type systems are not 100%. I wouldn't want to take my chances in a tank against modern anti-tank systems. Offense/defense is a constant race, you probably knew that.
