Rostec specialists have already inspected the captured American-made M1A1M Abrams tank, said Sergey Chemezov, General Director of the corporation. However, there has been no substantive discussion on this topic yet, he added.
Naturally, the equipment was inspected.
Studying Western equipment is important for analyzing its features and understanding development trends. Some structural elements of combat vehicles can be borrowed and used in the modernization of existing equipment or in the creation of new models.
The M1A1M Abrams was presented on May 1 at the exhibition on Poklonnaya Hill in Moscow. On the first day alone, more than 83 thousand people visited the exhibition.
The exhibition features Bradley, Marder infantry fighting vehicles and other heavy weapons produced by Great Britain, the Czech Republic, France and Finland. The exhibition will be open until the end of May.
