Warnings over Russia's new tank Armata

Hmmm, smacks to me of scaremongering. I seem to remember after it was revealed on May 9th there was some ridicule given one apparently broke down during rehersals and now it is being touted as the best tank since sliced bread. We demonise Russia as the bogeyman and the threat to humanity and just as defense budgets come under pressure we have this "leaked" report again sowing the seed that Russia has something we don't and are "dangerous".

For sure it is an advanced tank and I have never underestimated Russian kit. They have some unique solutions to overcome some technical limitations, thought this tank does seem quite neat.
