Fallout Re: T-14 and BMP Armata Stats

That's a lofty goal for that many tanks in a two year span. This next quotes the Deputy Defense Minster as saying..."Borisov also announced that the initial plan of inducting 2,300 T-14 MBTs by 2020 had to be pushed back to 2025." At 8 million U.S. that's a huge chuck out of the Defense budget when you consider ALL the new and modified pieces of equipment are expected to be online during the same time period.

I believe there were four plants through the Cold War the two listed above and the two in what's now the Ukraine. Kinda makes you wonder doesn't it!

Export and Defense coordination companies...

Ukraine: http://ukroboronprom.com.ua/en/category/struktura

One factory, so many expectations. I'll just wait and see what happens with all this.
