Russia's New Armata Battle Tank Dramatically Cheaper Than Expected

Russia's new Armata T-14 tank will cost a mere 250 million rubles ($3.75 million) when it enters serial production, the head of the vehicle's manufacturer said Tuesday, putting the battle tank in strong position to compete with U.S. and European rivals on the global export market.

The official cost of a single Armata has not been released, but Oleg Sienko, head of tank maker UralVagonZavod, said in an interview with the Ekho Moskvy radio station on Tuesday that it would be two times less than the popularly reported 500 million ruble ($7.5 million) price tag circulated by Russian and international media.

Competitors to the Armata, such as the German Leopard 2, the U.S. M1 Abrams, and the British Challenger 2 are estimated to cost anywhere from $6.8 to $8.6 million, news agency RBC reported Tuesday.

Gerüchten auf russischen Seiten zufolge soll das System auch noch schneller beschafft werden können.

Schneller und günstiger, was machen die richtig was wir falsch machen ?! Dazu kommen noch die Zahlen, den geplant sind nicht weniger als 2300 ARMATA:

President Vladimir Putin pledged that the Russian armed forces would procure 2,300 of the new tanks under the government's ongoing decade-long 20 trillion ruble ($350 billion) rearmament program
