Welcome to the 53rd Episode of The Two Tankers and A Cat Podcast! In this episode we talk about the Russian T-14 Armata next generation main battle tank and when will we start seeing these tanks in Russia. The Russian Army initially planned to acquire 2,300 T-14s between 2015 and 2020. Production and fiscal shortfalls delayed this to 2025, and then to the cancellation of the main production run.
