You are incorrect.
Russia only has 3000 tanks in service. The rest are mothballed. That's not half, that's 75+%.
Even looking in total, the vast majority of these "12 000" tanks are in fact T-72s, 9000 of them. We already know how T-72s fare against modern tanks.
For sure, 3000 decent MBTs is a formidable force. But 3000 vs 1000 is not going to let Russia steamroll when their air force is set-up for defence and not offense. Even an advantage of 3:1 is not going to do you much good when your opponent has absolute air supremacy.
A Russian offensive into Western Europe will definitely get stalled, there is no question about it.
