The next site is a little more interested in carrying and tracking the type stories shown below more so then any of the several ones I use on a regular basis.
The first story again, backs others from this site and a couple of others I've posted over the past year. Based on this mounting and consistent documentation and of course my "humble" opinion, I feel at this point and time we have enough to support a more realistic operational service date for the
T-14 ARMATA. Currently the Russian
T-14 UNIT 170 has an in service date of
6/2018, we've known this was subject to change for sometime, I believe that time is in the next patch. It will take at least a year or more of operational testing/training and production before this MBT is fully operational. I recommend a "
tightening" of the date as follows:
6/2020.
As a reminder to everyone as I tracked it that long, India's
ARJUN took years before it was operational. I'm not comparing India's issues with
ARJUN to Russia's with the
ARMATA, but again, they're also having developmental and production issues with their tank that still need to be worked out. And ask yourselves, if everything was alright, why bring back the T-80 which they really didn't care for in the first place? But they are as posted here by myself and others as a "stop gap" until it's ready. Anyway another article "
to add to the pile"...

And we'll know for sure because this is the other thing they do better on a
consistent basis than anyone else to date...

Just some more food for thought, though speaking for myself I'm getting full. And you know what happens when you eat too much... You
