Farley talks Armata MBT....


via NI
Will the Armata become a major export tank? Nikolas Gvosdev suggests that Russia may become the “arsenal of autocracy,” and that the Armata could have a big impact on the international stage. Uralvagonzavod seems to agree, and has already begun hyping the prospects of sales to Egypt and various Central Asian states.
Here.

Farley is a bit "down" on the capabilities of the Russians to produce the tank.  I don't quite get that.  Increased military production is basic 101 of revitalizing an economy.  More importantly the Russians are highly motivated.

The above blurb should not be ignored.

The Russians...more precisely Putin does not seem like the type of guy to let slights or perceived insults go.  My prediction?  US forces or our allies will face these vehicles on the battlefield.  An honest assessment of its capabilities will happen.  We just need to be patient and watch the world spin.
