Dubbed the T-14 Armata ("Армата"), this is the tank in which Russia will roll into the 21st century. While to date, the Russian army has purchased only 12 Armatas for testing, deliveries at scale are expected to begin this year. Assuming field tests over the next two years work out, Russia plans to replace 70% of its main battle tank force with Armatas by 2020.

Cancel the Stalwart as well.


Is it just me or are tanks getting very Sci-Fi?

I'll pledge 15 pounds if you are starting a pledge drive.

15 pounds would put me at about the lowest weight for a 'good' BMI for my height......Wish I could take it.

Cheers - Phil.

Having a few beers and a few malts whilst watching The Masters (that's golf, fsn) .... and getting the munchies.

But nothing in the bread bin. 

Happy day! Using my Labrador super powers, I've found an out of date sausage roll in the fridge!

Why are you watching a Volkswagen?

[Westmarcher]

Sorry, <gronf, gronf> will tell you later.

[Westmarcher]

Why are you watching a Volkswagen?

Hey! Wait a minute! I'm risking my life eating an out of date sausage roll and all you're interested in is why I'm watching an updated version of a Kubelwagen? 

[fsn]

Yes.
