according to info here, it was the driver who engaged the emergency brake by accident.

There is already a thread about it, and it did not malfunction, the inexperienced drive accidentally activated the emergency breaking system, once a technician figured out the problem he turned it off and the T-14 drove away.

If the driver did that accidentally they would been able to localize the problem much quicker. It seems to me like there are greater problems with this tank since they wouldn't start it for more than 30 minutes.

The tank had it's breaks locked for 15 minutes, even the armored recovery vehicle could not get the tank to move even an inch. The tank only drove away after a technician figured out what the driver did.

If that was the case, there would be video of it. I wouldn't trust Russian sources on face value.

There is a video of it but i can not post because of my outdated Adobe. There are also thousands of witnesses including a guy from Russian defense forum that was there.

When I have a problem with my handbrake in my car I will call the tow truck next time instead of pulling the handbrake up myself.

If brakes locked. Why did it take so long to solve the issue if it was such an innocent issue? Why did the tow truck come if it was a lock issue?

Because they could not figure out the issue right away. Please explain to everyone how a heavy tank is able to drive away if it's transmission supposedly gave out? It is not possible.

Tanks don't have the type of hand breaks that cars have. The driver was obviously inexperienced, the people driving the tanks have no real training on the Armata. The URSV wanted their experienced test drivers to drive the tank but the decision was made that regular troops drive the tanks.

This is not the first time this happened either. In both cases the drivers were to blame.

F 35 has hundreds of problems

Nobody calls it trash ; Armata is a new machine ; there will be some problems

Every year we read about cars being recalled ; why such hate towards Russia
