Russia's Advanced Armata T-14 Tank 'Already in Serial Production'



Sputnik: Tanks A Lot: Russia's Advanced Armata T-14 'Already in Serial Production'

Russia's state-of-the-art T-14 tank, part of the Armata family of armored combat vehicles, is already being mass produced, according to the US magazine The National Interest.

Dave Majumdar, Defense Editor of the US magazine The National Interest, quoted a top Russian defense industry executive as saying that Russia's Armata family of combat vehicles, including the advanced T-14 tank, is already in serial production.

According to Majumdar, the news will certainly come as a surprise for many Western analysts who "believed that the Armata family was still in its developmental stages" after its new models took part in the 2015 Victory Day parade in Moscow.

WNU Editor: If you look at the above video (at the one minute mark), you will see what this tank can do to the pavement. Being someone who has lived in Moscow .... and who has a home there .... one of my big peeves about these military parades is that they always make a mess of the road. And now there is a new tank to show-off .... grrrr ....

Why not parade a few tanks for May Day with rubber treads or rubber tracks.

I have seen tractors with rubber treads before.

Probably cost less than repairing a mile of road.
