Not nescecarlly! Russia has yet to enter actual war economy. War economy is a state in which all industries are "drafted" in to the war efort. Car manufacturers produce spare parts for tanks, food manufacturers produce MRE's, fabric manufacturers produce parachutes, mashining places turn shells, chemical plants make explosives and so on. Russia is not elocating resources for tank development because they have no factory to make them. It is also more complicated to produce modern equipment of any sort. Its not joust a armored tractor with a gun that about hits where you aim anymore. You cant joust make a new tank by sticking a biger gun or puting more metal on a tank. It is also especially dificult for russia. Most modern technology requires semi conductors..........you know the thing the west produces and is now witholding from russia. So they would have to: 1st: Research how to manufactor semiconductors and build production factorys after the research. 2nd: Design a modern tank. 3rd: Develop equipment for the tank which is no longer 20 to 30 years behind. 4th: Build the factorys then the tanks and then test them. 5th: Ensure that the funding does not get embezzeld during the whole process to ensure a quality product. 1, 3 and 4 would take time while 5 is imposible.

The point about the Chinese arms industry is a good one. Particularly given both how poorly the Russians are doing in Ukraine and their inability to fulfill the contractual obligations they already have, it is highly likely that their position as the world's second largest arms supplier is going to disappear fairly shortly. Their single biggest customer (India) has publicly stated its dissatisfaction with Russian equipment quality and delivery reliability. Without India footing the bill, Russia simply has no development budget for new designs and manufacturing. India is also the easiest of customers for Russia given that it has strategic conflicts with its neighbor China and is historically suspicious of Western military and diplomatic ties. That said, Russia's track record of shipping crap that doesn't work, supporting it piss poorly, and routinely missing delivery and development deadlines has left them no other choice than to look to America for its needs. Putin's decision to invade Ukraine has really shown Russia's bare ass to the world.

It doesn't matter what the politics are. If a potential supplier may not be available in the future that's a problem. However, if the current supplier can't meet the needs today, then that's a much larger issue. Whatever can be said about western arms sales, the US and Europe is not in the habit of taking already sold equipment for their own armies.

Brazilian POV: China still have to vastly improve their customer service and deal flexibility, Russia was bad at it, when Brazil bought Mi-35Ms they were quickly out of service cause Russia wouldn't allow for the training of Brazilian industries to build its own parts. To the point where if the Brazilian air force needed some heavy maintenance on those they had to be shipped back to Russia! That was completely unacceptable for the Brazilian AF and those gunships were retired. China, from our experience, so far is the same if you want you can cheaply buy heavy quantities of said material but you would resort to canibalize those vehicles for parts and maintenance very soon as china is very secretive and won't train your industries/ground crews for more than light maintenance. That's why most neutral countries are refraining from buying anything Chinese in it's current open contracts. When China modernize it's current customer service I can't a reason why they wouldn't be able to take over the arms contracts for neutral countries.

By my estimates the Russian federation could have fielded 14 t14 back in early 2022 and 18 now... but this assumes significant input of resources...

Diligent and knowledgeable, good informational video. Well done.

Russia made a doc about the production of T14s in 2016 and again in late 2022. In both you can see the same tanks on the assembly line in the exact same positions. The same goes for the tools and parts. You used a part of the 2022 video. So it can be assumed that since 2016 not a single T14 left this particular factory. So every T14 they have was build prior to that and then modified and upgraded.

Its the same reason you don't see any Abrams and Challenger tanks field by the UAF right now: they're too valuable to be captured and it looks bad if they're destroyed. We all know now that any tank can be easily destroyed by artillery and drones so it's not really a priority to get the most high tech tank out onot the field. Its much more efficient for the factory to upgrade their current t72 and t90 tanks to modernized varients with better optics and systems.

It's easy to tell that they've not made it to the front line in Ukraine: none have been destroyed or even video'd. You can bet that every drone operator in Ukraine is desperate to be the first to set one of these alight, and any that got to the front would have been swarmed within the hour.

The difference is in where the corruption lies In the US, its politicians getting paid by companies to advocate for their product to get the contract, or to order more of a system, all with the money flowing to the business first, after which the products actually get delivered, and then the politicians get more kickbacks. Projects may be cancelled or delayed due to reworks or setbacks, but the ordered inventory gets made and the check gets cashed. Soldiers are paid and treated well enough they dont have resort to stealing and selling equipment. Its also much harder to sell gear because the US is fairly strict in their tracking, plenty of stories of soldiers not being allowed to leave formations or training until missing gear is found. In the RUAF, its usually more that MOD orders something built, claim theyve built hundreds of them, take a couple pictures with VDV or other special forces equipped with the gear, and then maybe some of that gear actually makes it to the troops. company to battalion level thievery and selling of stockpiles with "generous" accounting is common, as is a culture that promotes stealing to survive because the average soldier's pay is abysmal. More often since stealing is a necessity, if you dont steal, you're looked at as suspicious to the average russian soldier. TL:DR in the US politicians get paid to make sure certain contracts win, but the equipment ends up with the troops, maintaining readiness for combat, and in RU the politicians order something made and things get stolen all along the chain of custody until there are barely scraps that actually make it to soldiers who never expected to actually see combat before their contracts expired
