Specialists from Uralvagonzavod (part of Rostec) studied western tanks. There are many interesting solutions in them, but there are far more shortcomings, said Alexander Potapov, General Director of the concern.
According to him, the Ministry of Defense has a specialized institute where they disassemble and look at foreign vehicles with our participation.
Of course, those features and those interesting places that could represent a certain development for us in the future. But if I may say so, these are still machines of the last century. There are, of course, interesting solutions, but to say that this gives us something globally, I would say no.
Potapov added that the samples studied by Russian specialists practically lack anti-drone and dynamic protection. Also, the power-to-weight ratio of domestic armored vehicles is higher than that of Western ones.
