Agreed with the following two clarifications. (1) By first digit I assume we mean to the left of the decimal point so if the S&P 500 is 1864.33 at close the first digit is a 4 and (2) and by Russian tanks we mean tanks operated by Russian troops not a tank built in Russia.

You guys left one possible loophole: Does "tanks will be involved in combat" mean actually firing shells?

I would say "no" but there does have to be fighting because of the word "combat".
