I found this to be very interesting. It's really pretty much what's been recorded if a little more on the conservative side. The author also takes a deeper look as to what this means overall to the Russians, in fact several years back I believe the Russian tank storage issue was also discussed as to the quality of what's in storage.

FURTHERMORE, no mention of either the T-90MS (As most know it by.) which was first stationed in the Far East or the ARMATA which is major technical issues still related to the engines/powerplant and other electronic issues as yet unresolved. The war and cost of it in real terms and sanctions make it even less likely in the RL this tank will see "the light of day" especially in our timeline.

I think a fair estimate will push it closer to 2027/28 if at all. Russia has had no success in new tank development in decades. The "Black Eagle" and T-95 are good cases to make my point.

Back to bed for a "power nap", I never sleep well when someone's not here.
