"units 027 and 028 - Black Eagle is an error. They at them are not present and cannot be."

I agree, Omsktransmash went bankrupt in 2002. They have been saved by the government and kept around but only to upgrade T-80s. As far new production and design is concerned, they are finished and their capabilities liquidated. Hell, what is left Omsktransmash is now going to be de facto Uralvagonzavod property.

And now that koreans have their own K2 program set for mass production the chances that they are going to resurrect the black eagle are next to non existant.
