New Russian Armor

T-14 Armata main battle tank

The T-14 tank made its first appearance during parade rehearsals. Commanded by a crew of three, the new design represents a new generation of Russian tanks. The T-14 is the first post-Soviet Russian design and claims to have greater speed, manoeuvrability and firepower than its western equivalents. The Armata boasts a 125mm cannon and a top speed of 80-90 km

It's a good tank.

Like all good modern Russian designs they just lack the money to make them in any real numbers.

Probably well until it finds a Leopard...

But wait I thought those guys were all "volunteers", I mean if I volunteer the US Army will throw me the keys to an M1 without a moments hesitation.

Didn't they have to trailer that thing out of the parade when it got in its own way?

They brought a tow out, but it managed to get going on its own before the hook up. I expect that Putin will be investigating their unfortunate murder near the Kremlin in the future.
