Russia's T-14 Armata Main Battle Tank Full Concept

Remember all the fan art that came out for the PAK-FA?  The same for the J-20?

Even if this is fan art, the reality of the situation can't be underestimated.  If the Russians are about to develop, field and sell a new tank that is better or even equal to the best in the West then we're looking at a renewed arms race.

They will have effectively thrown a monkey wrench into current Western armored thinking.

The days of light weight wheeled vehicles could be over almost as soon as it began.  Additionally if they're able to sell enough of them then suddenly expeditionary forces that are focusing on lightly armored vehicles come under threat.  Add a new armored threat to widely dispersed anti-air missiles and suddenly the idea of playing "hey diddle diddle" until you meet opposition and then calling air strikes is over.

We better be prepared to adjust accordingly.
