Comrade Kyotebluer,
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but it is my duty to inform your that there appears to have been a rather unfortunate typo, in the procurement department, by the data entry clerk handling your purchase order.
We didn't catch it until just now, but all of our T-62s have been spoken for.
Not only has there been a huge surge in small arms ammunition purchases, causing a world-wide shortage, but there's been a run on main battle tanks as well. It seems a lot of governments around the globe need to ensure proper stockpiles to keep unruly citizens in check, should the civilian unrest increase further.
Apparently, instead, you will be receiving 11 x vintage, T-26 light infantry tanks, in very good condition for their age. These are quite rare, being a pre-WWII tank design, but my understanding is that with a little rust-o-leum (who am I kidding, a lot), some WD-40, bondo body repair putty, and a fresh coat of paint, you'll soon have the nicest pre-WWII tank force on the continent (and I imagine, the only one – we believe in truth in advertising).
On the plus side, these use less fuel than the more modern vehicles, put less stress on paved roadways and bridges, can carry up to 122 rounds of 45mm ammo (assuming anyone still makes it in that caliber), and are harder to hit, due to their small size.
We hope you will be happy with your purchase.
Please remember to give us positive feedback on the follow-up survey, you will be receiving shortly.
Sincerely,
Vladimir
