Meh, I'm more worried about the capabilities then the fact that a tank broke down.

I'm sure the Russian's were laughing at the talk of the Strykers tipping over when they fired because of a serious design flaw in that vehicles.

As it stands even Americans are saying that the next variation of the M1 which is the A3 sep due out in 202 might be a very poor match for the T-14.

The big question for the Russians is around the cost and mass production of the T-14, is the intention to replace the T-72 B3's all 2500 of them with the T-14? or even the T-90? That's doubtful. However if they have a deployable regiment or 2 of the T-14's backed by the T-90's it becomes a pretty deadly force.
