Russia will produce 1,500 tanks this year. This was stated by Deputy Chairman of the Security Council of the Russian Federation Dmitry Medvedev. According to him, even according to the most optimistic estimates, Ukraine will not be able to get the same amount of armored vehicles from its conservatives.
We will manufacture 1,500 tanks alone this year. Calculate how much our enemy will receive even according to the most optimistic calculations, here is your answer
- said the politician in an interview with the main Russian media.
At the same time, the ex-president of the Russian Federation noted that the Russian T-90M tank is by far the best in the world. This combat vehicle is significantly superior to the Western Leopard, Challenger, Abrams tanks.
It is quite obvious that, for example, the same T-90M Proryv tank is our newest tank. But, in my opinion, it is now the best tank in the world. In the world! It is certainly better than the Leopard, than the Challenger, than the Abrams, including in terms of tactical and technical data, even in terms of such a component as the mass
said Medvedev.
He noted the maneuverability, speed and reliability of the Russian combat vehicle.
In the same interview, Dmitry Medvedev spoke about foreign models of weapons supplied to Ukraine. According to him, the HIMARS MLRS is a fairly valid weapon, but Russia does not have the worst, which has the same and better accuracy and depth of destruction.
At the same time, Medvedev admitted that in recent years Russia has lagged behind other countries in the development of drones, but now it already has normal reconnaissance vehicles and excellent ammunition for stroll.
Soon the country will have a full range of drones
