Canada's tanks

The challenge for the engineer is to add ALL the "bells and whistles" that YOU actually NEED - and figuring out just what they are can be as bloody daunting task - without making the thing fragile. There is a field called RAMD - Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Durability - engineering analysis which tries to get us to the least undesirable solution at an affordable price.

Oh, did I mention that it's orders of bloody magnitude simpler for hardware than it is for software?

Funny I watched a video where the crew of a Leopard raved about it, having come from old Soviet equipment to newer Western stuff, they said it was simpler to maintain. That being said if you got a Leopard 2A4 with no upgrades and not well stored (hello Spain) you may not be as happy as the guy who gets an upgraded Leopard 2 that being recently refurbished.

YMMV?
 
The Armada was a joke to begin with. A prime example of the rot and corruption in the Russian Defense system. It’s got more akin to the HoverTank in Sgt Bilko than anything else. Most of the Russian big projects (T-14, SU-57, Hypersonic missiles) have been big on buzzwords and low on performance.

Sgt Bilko, you are really dating yourself with that one
 
Movie circa 1996 not the 1955 era TV show.

When you steal everything and reverse engineer it.......its hard to be original

Talk about embarrassing, there you are happily looting the Russian Treasury everythings going tickity boo and some asshole goes and starts a war.
And now your super tank which is basically designed to do......um err.. everything ..umm nothing but it looks so damn good doing whatever it supposed to do . And it's powered by taxpayer's rubles.
And that pretty much sums up the T - 14.
Don't be surprised if Bombardier wants to produce it under license.
 
What would you rather have?

State of the art tanks but fewer in number.

Older robust tanks that are a bit archaic but you have shit tons of them. Remember what Uncle Joe said about quantity,
