Thats ok, they can continue to use the T-80 which costs between $4-6 million to produce..and with the added advantage that their turrets provide exceptionally well flight time, probably best in class!
Meanwhile the West produces Javelins for $178k a piece (launcher plus 1 rocket), which requires just one soldier to point, aim, launch and leave before it reaches its target! Refills cost $78k a pop.
Is this great value or what?
Now if we can only get them faster to the Ukrainians!
How about abandoning the war?
I wonder if they will fix the T90M’s terrible reverse speed and give it some anti drone module.
Best move for them going forward when the old Soviet stock runs down.
Huh chassis built around ww2 Nazi engine finally dropped
That is not what the article states. Has any of you read it?
This war is going to seriously alter future tank development.
This is a highly misleading title…. They did not abandon the tank, they just said they’re not going to use it in the Ukranian war due to high costs, the programme still continues…

America abandoned the F-22 for the same reason.
