- exar0815 11y agoThank you, I must admit modern Tanks are not really my field of expertise. If this tank works in the way it should, it should be superior to most current western Tanks, especially while most western countries phase out more and more of their tanks.
- fapjacks 11y agoThe thing about Russian equipment is that the gee-whiz features almost never work as intended. The real strength of Soviet- and Russian-made military equipment is the reliability of its basic features. The problem with modern Russian manufacturing is that there is a lot of corruption at the top, and this leads to poor manufacturing implementations winning government contracts that otherwise would never have made the cut with proper QA. This is why the Russian military is always towing equipment back to base. The Russian navy in particular is renowned for towing a significant part of its fleet back to port after dry-fire exercises.
