didn't someone post an article a bit ago where they said a manufacturer plant failed to produce a fairly large numbers of armored vehicles on time and is very late?

MOD assistant DM for Arms purchasing says that they are in no hurry to get the T-14 and T-50 due to financial constraints and the alternates MBT modernizations and aircraft such as the Su-30SM are more then satisfactory.

Of course, they will be modernized to T-90MS "Proviv-3"/"Tagil".

It will look like this:

Interview with the MoD's Chief of Tank - Automotive;

https://ria.ru/interview/20160909/1476488483.html

Hi-lights:

- over 1,000 T-72B3's so far
- over another 300 improved T-72B3's on their way
- Tigr-2 looks promising
- Typhoon 4x4 with 30mm cannon should be tested in special purpose units in 2017
- T-90's to be upgraded when they have exhausted their resources (worn out sounds like)
- T-14,T-15 and ARV still under testing through 2017
- same for Kurganets and Boomerangs, no production starts before 2018
- MoD purchasing around 200 ATV type vehicles per year
- work continues on testing and development of all types of vehicle for extreme Northern use
- no wheeled tank at this time

- no wheeled tank at this time

That does not actually surprise me.

the concept of light (Typhoon) and Medium (Boomerang) wheeled divisions suggest to me light and medium forces that would not be used against opponents with a lot of MBTs in heavily fortified positions or urban areas etc.

In this case the combination of light gun platforms perhaps armed with a 57mm high velocity gun and support vehicles will 120mm gun/mortars either as mortar carriers or as BMPT type tank support vehicles would make the role of an actual tank redundant.

Any enemy tanks they might come across could easily be dealt with by Kornet type missiles or even guided artillery shells in top attack mode.

No news of T-72B3M?

Would assume that is the improved T-72B3's that he is talking about.
