Translated with AI from the Russian original.

Russia's widely publicized"super tank" T-14 "Armata" project is in limbo due to production problems. This was written by Western expert Christian Orr in an article for The National Interest (TNI). The state corporation"Rostec" responded to the criticism by mentioning the"capricious" Abrams tanks.

To date, the operational characteristics of the highly publicized T-14 "Armata" tank can be described by the title of one of William Shakespeare's plays: "Much Ado About Nothing." It has yet to prove them on the battlefield.
The National Interest

Rostec advised the publication to share its opinion on the Abrams tank.

Is the American tank ready for the Russian winter? Will it start in the cold? It is a very capricious machine to maintain-it is afraid of dust, dirt, and requires constant care. Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" immediately comes to mind: "Perhaps your only diamond will turn out to be plain glass to the eye."
