No one is making tanks really anymore
I bet America, china, Germany, Russia soon Italy and a few other country’s would like ro speak with you.
I am
Everyone who can make tanks is making them.
Even Japan whose geography is inconvenient for tanks is making small numbers of Type 10s.
no one has made a new tank in decades
Armata?
Why would we do that? (With NATOs standardization) modifications sure.
But any tanks Canada would build would be licenced built first. Something Canada has done multiple times successfully. To the point, multiple Major nations have adopted or adopted the domestic descendant of that licenced-built vehicle.
Oh god not that thing.
Newly build or newly designed?
and is that in full scale production
They only newly built that is actually in production is the Leopard 2
Main Ground Combat System:
Frnce, Germany, Italy, Spain, Belgium, Netherlands, Norway, Sweden. Even if Germany and Frnce lead the project, the tanks would most likely be produced locally for each nation’s armies.
Poland could have been interested too, but judgigng by the trillion SEPv3s and K2s they just got, I doubt it anymore xD
Edit: what?
Armata, VT-4, Type 15, M10 ring a bell?
Type 10 is only 12 years old and in production.
sidenote: does anyone know why the US named the M10 after a Bioshock character?
M1A2 Sepv3s atleast for Poland are newly produced.
To be fair most of the criticism of that thing comes from one idiot on youtube who doesnt cite his sources and sics his followers on actual field experts when he’s called out.
Its probably not a great tank but common sense says its not a soapbox car either.
Right now only Germany and France are in the project
There are more new non-tank things(apart from aircraft) starting to be built then tank things as it is cheaper.
Damn right, trench warfare is the future!
Soon we’ll be right back to the A7V and Mark IV.
Every single time I say something someone flags it, this is getting annoying af
M10 is a light tank at best it isn’t a MBT
VT-4 isn’t a whole new design
Armata isn’t even in production
