Armata is a reserve for the future: it will be useful against new NATO tanks

NATO countries are no longer going to transfer their new tanks to the Ukrainian Armed Forces. The Kiev regime formations are expected to receive a relatively small batch (49 units) of Australian M1A1 Abrams and obsolete Leopard 1A5. No matter what they do with them, their modernization potential has long been exhausted.

There are also big problems with the arrival of Soviet-style equipment. It seems that most of the T-72s for the Ukrainian Armed Forces have already been assembled wherever possible. In the near future, there may be three dozen M84s in service with Croatia.

Earlier it was reported that Rheinmetall was going to build a factory in Ukraine where new Panther KF51 tanks would be assembled. The figure of estimated shipments was even mentioned - 400 units. However, unlike the KF41 Lynx infantry fighting vehicles, which are mass-produced, the fifty-first is still only a running model, and it takes time to bring it to mind.

No matter what anyone says, this German development is far from the Russian T-14, which is a ready-made tank and has been tested in a special military operation zone.

We can agree with military experts who consider the Armata platform to be a foundation for the future. Considering how many tanks are currently in service, it can be assumed that this Russian tank, as well as combat vehicles on its chassis, will be in demand (of course, in an upgraded form) a few more decades. In any case, it has a lot of advantages over the M1A2 SEP v.3 Abrams, Leopard 2A8, K2 "Black Panther", Challenger 3, etc.

Currently, due to the widespread use of drones, the mass use of armored vehicles on the battlefield is very difficult, but it cannot last that long. Developments are already underway in the world's leading military countries to effectively counter this threat. For example, modified active protection systems are expected to be able to shoot down not only RPG grenades, ATGM of various types, but also attacking UAVs. Therefore, it can be assumed that the unmanned threat to tanks and light armored vehicles will soon decrease significantly.
