No, but russia is using alot of their obsolete tanks. Not that they were very good to start with. They do have a few with upgraded tech but they aren't using them. I can't remember the name but its basically the improved version of Shtora-1.
Also, the way russia is using the tanks battalions is ww2 tactics, that doesn't work on todays battlefield.

Shtora-1 (Russian: Штора, "curtain") is an electro-optical active protection system or suite for tanks, designed to disrupt the laser designator and laser rangefinders of incoming anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs). The system is mounted on the Russian T-80 and T-90 series tanks and the Ukrainian T-84. The existence of Shtora was revealed in 1980 by Adolf Tolkachev.[2]
