The way I read the T-10 thing is that it's a straight swap.
Then why would research xp on the T-10 remain on the T-10, if it is to be removed? Makes no sense.

Players love the mobile assault T-10, which quickly shifts the accent of an attack, knocking everything in its path. However, no matter how good it may be, it did not fit into the IS-3 and IS-7 group, so we replaced it with “Object 257”. Do not worry, the T-10 will not quit the game. Over the years, he repeatedly proved his effectiveness, so he will get a mini-branch, where at the tier X will be a machine with a similar gameplay. We continue to work on this newcomer, so let’s talk about him later.
So it sounds to me that the most likely outcome is, the T-10 will branch off the IS-3 and dead-end at Tier IX until they determine which new Tier X to lead to. We will also be given an Obj 257 (if we have a T-10) and our T-10 crew will get swapped over. All equipment and paint will be demounted.
