At least russia is producing it, only few tanks per year, but it is producing, while EMBT is just a concept that no one has adopted yet, so even the armata that russia has only a few units is more real than the EMBT right now

Are they actually producing them still? I have seen 0 trustworthy info that they are still being produced.
Reducing fuel consumption and maintenance costs is a huge improvement. You are also looking over all the internal improvements like upgraded computers and probably optics. New cannon with autoloader, 30mm remote controlled to defend from drones, more armor, and lighter. Also as APS and greatly improved outside cameras/sensors, hooked up to an AUGMENTED REALITY SUITE for better situational awareness, silent mode which uses electric motor, and compatibility with surveillance drone and loitering munitions like the switchblade drones. Basically everything except the AUGMENTED REALITY SUITE is proven/has been tested and shown to be good.
A few months ago I read an article in russian that said that the russian ministry of defense continues with the production of T14 and SU57, who knows how many they manufacture per year, but at least they continue with the production of both, probably less 10 units per year, yeah most probably but they are producing it

from what I’ve seen they literally cannot move to mass production due to parts shortages restricting the ability to even get the production facility operational, and according to MI6 the Russian Army can’t even get enough spares for them to be considered combat ready enough to be deployed en-masse.
Just asking but the “MI6” wasn’t the one who said that russia will runs out of missiles in a few months when they started firing missiles?

They still produce T-14 to test, some pages just want a clickbait Title stated that they stop producing T-14 but the factory CEO means is: We don’t want to “mass produce” and “bring it to the field” since the conflict does not need an under trial product get into it.
Su-57 in the other hands just finish the 2023 batch and continue to receive 2024 batch, newer batch will have better engines shape and unify with the S-70

yeah, I know the new engines are not ready yet so we will see
Yeah they probably produce a handfull of armatas to test stuff out. I just don’t think we’ll see them in service in any somewhat significant capacity for another decade.
2A7V contains D Tech armor alongside with Spall Liners and other improvements, its far from bein 70’s hull.
Only the Shell looks same.

What the US Military cooks up in terms of AI for warfighting vehicles and what type of AI slop Google shoves down our throats is different : |

It’s a vehicle ID assistant right? Or does it help with subsystem management
So in other words, the difference between 2A0 and 2A7V is composite blocks swapped out, longer barrel, maybe the breech, some spall-liners screwed on inside, commander and gunner optics replaced and some added composites on the outside.
Otherwise identical with things like engine, transmission, hull and so on.
It has appreciably different combat characteristics, but it’s not radical.
That being my point
Yeah the system is still very much in its infancy and right now still not worth considering to use it
Alphabet Inc. has 800% of General Dynamics revenue. Google’s primary business is information processing. They have every advantage imaginable in terms of making AI, in resources and staff.
You are seriously overestimating the capabilities of whichever comparatively tiny and impotent company will likely be subcontracted to do the AI systems for Abrams X, even if we assumed the US ordered a few thousand.
I don’t think you understand what AI (machine learning is the better term but whatever) actually is, if you think that the AI that would go into a combat vehicle is remotely similar to an LLM that Google applied to its searches
All just catchy names for the same old trick

AI algorithms are incredibly good at identifying patterns in enormous amounts of data faster than people can, they are already superb at things like target identification and consistently outperform humans in tasks like that
what’s likely the case here is that our buddy tristacomand is instead upset because he knows Russia doesn’t have an equivalent, so he’s writing it off to cope
