Huo sio mfatiliaji sana wa hizi mambo ila comment ya huyu mdau mtaa flan hivi nimeipenda... Naicopy na ku'paste muione kisha Wenye maneno ya kuongezea mnakaribishwa.
This is the Russian next-gen T-14 Armata. It has already been produced in significant numbers.
Have you seen them used in this conflict much, if at all?
Once you learn about this tank, you'll realize that Russia has been holding back.
This story about Western countries going through old equipment in order to get 'upgraded' by new American equipment, is a load of ridiculousness.
Think about the MiG-35. Compare that to the Lockheed Martin F-35
Think about the S-500. Compare that to the PATRIOT system.
Think about the T-14 Armata. Compare that to the M1A2 Abrams
What about cost? In February, Poland put out an order for just 250 M1A2 Abrams units at a cost of over $8bln USD.
The T-14? $3.7M per unit. $925mln for 250
Russia hasn't even deployed anything top-end it's made in the last two decades.
This conflict in Ukraine so far seems like it's Russia going through the life-cycle of its prior defence investment, in ways that expand and improve their strategic position far beyond mere deterrence.
