Long story short: It was always vaporware. It was something that the Russians wanted to show off to the rest of the world to prove that they were not a paper tiger. But the product itself was the very definition of paper tiger.

Most of the money meant for design and development was stolen, all the development reports were falsified to ake it look like it would actually achieve something, it's engine never really made it throught the prototype phase, the chassis was crap, the whole production line meant to make it was commendeered to do nothing and funnel money to oligarchs Yacht funds. All the military officers involved saw the whole project as their personal piggy-bank to leech as much as they could for their countryside datchas. Even the chinese would-be buyers said that it's Electronic Warfare package was horseshit and didn't work.

Nobody in russia ever thought this would be anything but a cash cow for corrupt officials. If you have ever heard about those propagnda stories about "how pentagon wastes money on insane projects" ...well, every accusation is a projection. (not saying there isn't corruption in US arms manufacturing, but what I AM saying is that it pales in comparison to the soviet/russian military industrial corruption. These people see that it is their job perk ,their RIGHT to skim off the R&D funds)

That's what happened to Armata. Russia. Russia happened. Ungodly amounts of money wasted for corruption, and they didn't even ge a working tank to show for it.

That's a mock-up picture of Putin as one of the later-era Czars, aking to Alexander the second, or somesuch. It's a carricature, to show how Putin fashions himself to be the next Czar of the Russian empire, despite being nothing like it.

Now, where you do hit home is the "potemkin" part, if we assume that Putin is just a Potemkin-village ruler. Someone who masks rotting surfaces with new paint, in order to (hopefully) fool people to think that these are healthy and well-faring villages, and not starving russian shit-holes, like they really are.
Yeah, Russia ahas a long and well documented history of "just give it a new coat of paint and make it seem as if it's not about to collapse on it's own weight".

>Long story short: It was always vaporware. It was something that the Russians wanted to show off to the rest of the world to prove that they were not a paper tiger.
Nope. It was supposed to be the cornerstone of russia's reformed army, both by getting a shiny new tank and, what was even more important, getting back into serial tank production. As in real from scratch production in a factory, not just restoring shit from storage (which is mostly tool assisted manual work in its nature). A big part of this was the size or orders (2000+ tanks were planned to be produced in a relatively quick manner).
The real issue was multi-domain, but the three biggest issues were:
- the whole project, among other things, was planned during the long oil rally on the market, russia was making more and more money each year without doing anything, they've expected $250 per barrel prices by 2018 or something like that, so that insane money never materialized.
- financial and efficiency issues in the russian MIC, decades of mismanagement, corruption and other shit (like the russian state preventing some companies to downsize the staff, but not wanting to pay for retention) caused a ton of money allocated to the project to get spent inefficiently, e.g. to keep the place from falling over instead of making a new tank, so that when the gravy train stopped there wasn't enough to continue working on it;
- lofty design goals, retarded design issues, development hubris and import dependence, they wanted to make something too good after decades of slapping ERA blocks on 1970 shit from storage, they wanted to use a problematic BS engine because they already had it, they were wrong to assume "how hard can it be for us" (forgetting that UVZ was the retarded stepson of soviet tank factories when compared to Kharkiv, Leningrad and Omsk) and so on;

The concept is mostly sound as unmanned turrets allow you to greatly lower weight which is what modern MBTs are suffering from the most, allowing you to either use that weight for increased protection, mounting more electronics or just keeping it low for logistical purposes. The problem is execution as every design decission is questionable at best.
>hardkill APS but it only covers the frontal arc
>same cramped interior that every other russian tank suffers from
>ammo is stowed in the hull, making blowout pannels impossible to mount unless you want your entire turret to be the blowout pannel
And that's not even getting into the other individual systems like FCS, engine, trnasmission, radios, battle managment systems etc since we know next to nothing about them and every detail we know is almost guaranteed to either have their qualities inflated or not match productions specs when leaving the factory door.

We know the engine itself is absolute dogshit and is based on a captured German engine from WW2. They had over 70 years and they still couldn't unfuck it. Of course almost all their AFV engines are based on the Ford inline 6 diesel sent over to them in the 1930s, but at least they work. The worst part about that was the hull was designed around that engine which means when it turned out to be a massive problem child they couldn't simply stuff a new one in. They could have reconfigured the hull to accept a new engine but that would require massive and expensive tooling changes and it was easier to keep throwing money at (and embezzeling funds from) trying to fix the engine.

The thing is that Russia has such a long history of making bullshit claims and wunderwaffen (that don't actually do what they claim to do) that they now think that "this is how everyone else does it too." that everyone else's weapons are just paper tigers and that they are only for enrichment of generals and MIC. Now, I am not saying that there isn't corruption and graft in western MIC, but the point is that te western MIC weapon ACTUALLY WORK. They have to do what they say they do.

This is the part that is almost incomprehensible to the Russian mind-set. They have done all sorts of potemkin bullshit and "as long as it looks good in the parade field and in propaganda flicks, it's good enough" nonsense for so long that they think that's the norm.

And it isn't, and that's why they are failing so hard. It's almost cargo-cult like mentality, that "if we just LOOK LIKE we are doing what the westoids do, it'lll work somehow". They copy the external strappings of western military, but never get the underlying mechanisms right. And then they think "Well, they are faking it too!"

The thing about Russian tank operations right now is not so much the availability of tanks (although it IS an issue) but rather the avalability of tank CREWS.

They have gone through pretty much all the decently trained tank crews, and now it's just a bunch of mobiks and penal legions given a few weeks/months worth of very basic instructions on how to use a tank and then sent to the meat grinder.
Any idea how long it takes to train a proficient tank crew? A year at minimum. And if you want to have a crew that is cabable of manouver warfare and cooperation with other units, it's closer to two years of training time.

But no, a month of training is what you get. They will show you how to make the tank move forward and how to load a gun and shoot it at civillian buildings, and into the Valley of Death you ride.
Western militaries have this silly notion of "crew survivability" and that if the tank gets incapacitated or destroyed, the crew is meant to survive. So that you can put the crew into another tank and continue fighting.

But at the moment, it seems that whoever is sent to the battlefield by Russia ...is not meant to come back. It's a one-way trip. Goida! Goida! Goida!

Even a lot of the western MIC stuff that never makes it out of development or gets cancelled does so because:
1. It got tried dozens or hundreds of times and just doesn't work with current tech, or is so expensive and cumbersome with current tech it's not worth it
2. It turns out what the procurement team asked for is a dogshit design riddled with feature creep that barely performs what it was supposed to do originally

Ukraine doesn't have nearly as much issues with tank crews as Russia does. While they do have some western tanks, most of their tanks are still the same soviet stuff as Russia has. The difference comes from the fact that Russia tries to attack, while Ukies are focusing on defense. That means their tanks are less out in the open and more in dug-out locations, only turrets sticking up from hard cover. This limits the damage that they take, making it much safer for the crews.

Ukies also have much better information, drone coverage network and NATO feeding them up-to-date knowledge about enemy tank movements. So they generally have a better idea of what they are doing and what to expect.
Another thing is the home field advantage to any crew/medevac operations: If the tank (for whatever reasons) becomes inpoerative, they are close to their home lines and usually have a pick-up and medical attention available and ready, if needed. So crew survivability has been much better throughout the war.

I don't think they are suffering from crew losses nearly as badly, and their tank crews in general are better trained than russian ones.

>>64233960
It's basically a T-90 hull with this idiotic twin-barreled autocannon turret in the place of the standard one. The idea was that it could provide high-angle fire support to take out infantry hiding in tall buildings during urban operations, presumably a result of their getting raped in Grozny. The problem is that a heavy tank hull with a piddling gun like that is a waste of time, they never survived long enough to make it to urban environments of that kind, and their guns were hideously inaccurate, visibly bouncing around as they fire. Also, the twin-barrel system is because one is HE and the other is AP. Why, you ask? Because the fucking Russians couldn't figure out a reliable dual-feed system like the Bradley's 25mm has.
Anyway, they got fucked because they're functionally worthless in open terrain, which is pretty much all of Ukraine.

dont party until the plague is over. What is important right now is that on the political theater ziggers are winning. with US paralyzed with the orange brain tumor that is a monke simp. Now they are out of the isolation with the alaska failure and as that shanghai summit showed. Europe is fractured but reacting with those with most skin on the line investing heavily into ukraine and preparing for war. while those in the deep rear sending thoughts and prayers

on military spectrum its a complete stalemate. neither side has the strength to overpower the other

on economic front ziggies are losing bad right now. Between the still enforced sanctions and the ukranian kinetic sanctions on their oil its suffocating oxygen out of their war economy. Thing is without political will this will not last. changs are getting more bold openly keeping zegroids in the fight and right now its only a question of time until the agent orange starts feeding them money in one form or another. US sanction enforcement as was at the beginning of 2025 is already discontinued. two week taco is just waiting for the nobel thing to be denied to him before dropping the mask completely

The thing is that those Russian governors get away with it because every official above them does it too, including Putin. If corruption was something he was serious about fighting, he would have done it over the past quarter century he has been in power. Don't mistake coming down on guys like Khodorkovsky, it wasn't that he was corrupt that he disliked, but that his assets weren't controlled by the state and then he went and tried to empower civil society in Russia.

I was talking about people like putin and xi acting like two people standing near each other has significance

You troglodytes think and function like early tribal warlords. I have become fully convinced that human culture is not a function of free will, but of genetics, and the progress our species has made from tribal society to modern industrial society was as genetic as the progress wolves made from pack hunters to pastoral herders.

In other words, russians are simply not evolved enough to maintain, or behave as, a modern nation. Perhaps some of them are, but all facts point to soviets and then putin having such people removed ASAP. Like arabs, they will die with their delusions.

Us vs them is a fundamental reality when there are two competing groups. Russia has decided to be "them".

Face, on the other hand, is something unique to unevolved peoples.
>WE STOOD NEAR EACH OTHER! WE ARE STRONG AND RELEVANT! YOU HAVE FEWER PEOPLE STANDING NEAR EACH OTHER, YOU ARE WEAK!
It's very childish behavior to the evolved mind. Literal chest thumping. It's like watching monkeys posture and hoot at people visiting the zoo.

No wonder russia is, statistically, africa with snow, and 2/3s of china is still third world.
>>
>>64242891
Primitive, face based cultures are overly concerned with superficial reputation. It's early man's instinctive combat deterrent. It's how early man structured his loose, largely tribal societies. Entirely on reputation and appearance.

The primitive people will gossip to no end, posture to no end. Never once will they take stock of their material resources, the capability of their country's intellects, their functional technology. No. They are all about "face". Instead they make weapons out of cardboard to look scary to each other, and look strong among themselves, like tribesmen beating spears and shields.

Civilized man has all but lost not just this impulse, but this ability. Not as a function of free will, but genetic tendency. It is incomprehensibly stupid to him.

China is committing two genocides (ughyurs and tibetans), providing some backing to the iranian regime, and supporting russia's unprovoked invasion of a european country.

2/3s of xi's country is kept in enforced poverty by the hukou system and he lies so prolifically, he personally approves chinese non-traditional quackery.

Chinese fishing fleets are scraping the ocean floor in other countries waters. A more primitive world would kill everyone on those boats. Xi should be glad he's just one aggressive monkey in a world mostly inhabited by humans, doomed to being treated like a stray dog

Gaza is not a genocide. Arabs are widespread. Israel is simply removing terrorists from an arab colony with acceptable collateral after years of rocket attacks. Yes, it looks brutal, but that's what happens when you deal with a population of violent fundamentalists.

This is xinjiang. It is the systematic eradication of a unique ethnicity and replacing them with han chinese. Men are used for labor. Women are forced to marry han and integrated into chinese culture. Refusal to abandon their native culture is punished with violence.

It's similar to the genocide australia nearly completed against the aboriginals.

Who told you that? Israel WON all their land gains in DEFENSIVE wars when arabs attacked them because arabs hate jews. It's pathetically simple.

And yet arabs keep flooding into "palestine". Before jews settled, the population of the entire region was in the low millions. As soon as jews built appreciable civilization all of a sudden a bunch of arabs mysteriously appeared.

If I'm not mistaken the main bottleneck for Ukraine's armored assets isn't crews but parts and maintenance personnel. Given the nature of the war for them, paired with how less frequent Ukrainian tank losses are compared to Russia's, I'm willing to go out on a limb and say Ukraine probably has more trained and possibly veteran tank crews currently

This is what people ignore about China. China isn't some 'based trad ethnic mono state'. It is dozens of ethnicities all forced under the party yoke. The fact they're all internally persecuted if they're not Han (same deal in Russia with Muscovites) is ignored by champions of China. Granted a lot of people think this is 'based' and what the West should be doing, but that usually counters their 'based trad' opinion. Additionally, most of China is unchanged from the 19th century. The key areas are the ones where there is any modern stuff.
