I bet the old Russian BTRs and T-62 tanks are also deteriorating or deteriorated.

"WASHINGTON — Roughly $1.8 billion in Army ground combat equipment is “deteriorating or at an increased risk of deterioration” due to improper storage, according to a Defense Department audit.
A report conducted by the department’s inspector general released Monday uncovered how the Pentagon stores and maintains components of the Army’s land weapons and equipment. The report highlighted issues at two distribution centers controlled by the Defense Logistics Agency, or DLA, responsible for $1.96 billion in repair parts and components. The DLA’s distribution division handled $3.87 billion of Army ground combat gear as of July 2022, according to the report.
Spare parts stored at these facilities support some of the Army’s key weapons such as Bradley Fighting Vehicles, Stryker armored vehicles and Abrams tanks."...
