@lancelot
do you think that worker who work on civilian program car in this case can easly start working in military factory on TANK...ARE you serious? Tank is one of the most complicated vehicle to made and its is imposible for civilian worker to go and just start working on it...
Yes SK can make 300 K2 if they want and if they need and that is maximum for them...
Russia for now CANT make more new tanks...Do you know why they cannot made more the 300 tanks per year?
Well they have big problem with their electrical industry witch isnt able to produced needed electric for more then 300 new tanks per year and rest for modernized ones...body and steel work isnt problem at all...
If Russia stop modernized old T-72s, then she can produced more new tanks, but unfortunately they do not stop modernized old T72s... They have chance to made lot of T-90M years ago instead of an old T72Bs modernized to 3M, they choose this cheaper variant with lot of downgrades...as they do on many their vehicles...
Instead they build their military temple who cost state more then 80 million of dollars, for that money the could instal for BMP-2 around 400 epocha turrets...or even batter they can put Arena M on 600 tanks... so yeah it was good investments....
They fucked up really bad in their modernization of tanks....and they know what was greatest enemy of the same and that was ATGMs...so what they do, put ERA block on tanks on some parts of them, most of the top of the turrets are not protected and because of that they have great casualties in first days of war....with ARENA M this will be reduced to small numbers...btu what i know...Russians do not make mistakes...
Why invest a huge of money into producing newly built T-90Ms (itself part of the T-72 family), with the T-14 around the corner, and there are so many T-72s that can be upgraded to achieve much of the same potential?
The T-90M is basically needed to test systems and technologies for the T-14, and to have this sort of Praetorian core for the most experienced of Russian tank forces.
And why yes, putting ERA blocks on tanks is what you do.
You can even replace older ERA bricks with ERA bricks of a newer design
Russian tanks are fine, even the older ones. There are other things that require investment. The Navy for example.
You're not making any sense.
Would you also be advocating the Germans in 1943 to pour all their resources into producing Tigers and Elephants?
