Russia already has T-64BM bulat , i wish russia could pick up most tanks and learn from them

Is most of the actually "armor" on the T-14 located on/in the crew capsule, or more towards the front like most of the MBT's today? I've seen reports claiming most of the armor is in the capsule, but pictures make it look like the outer-armor is fairly thick itself.

US have stolen so many T-80U and T-72B, even probably all T-64 models and T-80B... I think it's time for revenge, i hope someday russia will stole leopard 2 and M1 abrams, and also a chinese tank. They already have the T-64BM, but, that's nothing new for Russia... a T-64B with T-80U electronics... but, maybe the era Nozh was interestin to analyse.

Russia could do something with greece to obtain a Leo2A6Hel, Russia, greece... brothers... and... Greece needs money

Russia could obtain some M1 arbrams from egypt or iraq, if not already done... Too bad it's not a full modern US army standard.

No point in being aware of inferior technology...

The MoD might have an Egyptian or an Iraqi M1A1 stashed away somewhere just like that photo of the T-64BM. Wouldn't surprise me if they even had F-16s from the said countries.

There might be nothing to learn conceptually from the M1, but Russia's military could use the M1 for a variety of things. For example, Russia could use the tank to optimize the rounds that frontline tanks will carry.

there really is very little to "learn" from Iraqi or Egyptian M1s. Stuff that the Russian designers and military have been fully aware of for decades. Finding out information about the vaunted "M1A3" programme is probably where Russian interest lies.

Obviously not;  in the US the technical requirements and the main CONOPs for the next generation airborne offensive vehicles ,capable to confront on equal term modern air space defense systems, follow  exactly this same pact.

Just over the ocean the works and R&D efforts on ULO vehicles has been widely demoted or even frozen in the latest years and theirs funds strongly concentrated just in hypersonic exoatmospheric projects in reason of the rapid emergence on the horizon (much earlier than what expected) of quantum processing units and radiophotonic systems.

For this second area it will be also necessary in the US a very very urgent impulse....in particular among some Institutes in the West Coast....to don't risk the total obsolescence not only under a mere technical basis,but also of the elements around which turn around the same doctrinal structure of USAF and US Navy.
