Yes. But this news isn't official. Let's hope it's true

Well, too many in terms of variants. But that was obvious as to why - T-80's worked well in the arctic regions so upgrading all T-80's would be ideal for all northern regions. T-72's on other hand are great but it would be even better to have a similar upgrade of the T-90AM in the T-72 tanks. It could really give new life of the T-72's while really not needing to push Armata for anytime soon (just small batches while Boomerang and Kurganets get more importance in production).

They also bought the Protivnik-GE radar and surveillance with its incredible range and supposed capability to detect stealth aircraft.
