China and India have expressed interest to purchase T-14 Armata new Russian-made MBT.

Russia says that Russia’s foreign partners, including China and India, have expressed interest in purchasing new military equipment presented at the May 9 Victory Day parade in Moscow. The Russian Defense Ministry unveiled its new T-14 Armata main battle tank at the Victory Day military parade held in Moscow on May 9 in celebration of WWII victory over Nazi Germany.

"To a larger extent it is our traditional partners: India, China and South-East Asia," Kozhin said, adding, however, that although "interest [in the new technology] has been expressed," foreign buyers are "satisfied" with the current contracts on the delivery of Russian equipment.
The Armata is the latest generation of Russian-made main battle tank (MBT), also known as the T-14 which is manufactured by the Russian Defense Company Uralvagonzavod.

The main feature of the T-14 Armata is its unmanned turret, with all three crew members including commander, gunner, driver seated in a crew capsule at the front of the vehicle's hull.

The main armament of the T-14 Armata consists of one 125 mm gun with 32 rounds of ammunition; in addition to tank rounds, a new laser-guided missile able to be fired from the main gun with a tandem Kornet-D anti-tank or anti low flying helicopters warhead with a range of 7,000–12,000 m.

Second armament of the T-14 Armata includes one remote weapon station mounted on the top rear of the turret armed with one 7.62mm mm machine gun.

The T-14 Armata is equipped with the Active Protection System (APS) Afghanit which seems similar to the Israeli Trophy able to intercept and destroy incoming missiles and rockets.The system is designed to work against all types of anti-tank missiles and rockets, including handheld weapons such as rocket propelled grenades.

This is so funny.

Both countries expressing interest in buying the same tank which they MIGHT(hopefully never) use against one other. So much Chutiyapa

This is why defence industry should be almost totally indigenous. Russia sells equipment to both India and China. US sells equipment to both India and Pakistan. They earn we lose. I sincerely hope this is the last decade when India will be importing any sort of these big products. Small arms, drones etc are ok for import since they don't cost too much and the other country is going to get them one way or another anyway. Ships, submarines, aircraft etc should not be imported. There is no bigger chutyapa than a country spending so much money on a product which will be sold to it's rivals. India has almost totally indigenized ship building and submarine building. Land based arms should be the next step. I don't care if they take another 2 years improving indigenous howitzers, artillery guns, Arjun tank etc, but please stop these useless imports.

Though that being said, aircraft industry in India has reached nowhere near the capability of building heavy combat helicopter like Apache, heavy lift aircraft like C130 , stuff like P8 poseidons etc, so there is no choice but to import them for the foreseeable future.

I would agree with this theory if both Russia and USA just sell weapons and don't fight wars themselves but fact is they both fight wars and keep fighting them.

All were proxy wars. Either Russian sponsored rebels killing US soldiers(Vietnam) or US sponsored rebels killing Russians( Afghanistan), or Russian and US sponsored rebels killing one another( Syria). The only direct conflicts between Russia and US have been the few air to air combat losses after WW2 , nothing else.

Afghanistan was a proxy war Iraq was a proxy war Vietnam was a proxy war I am not talking with each other I am talking about all wars they fight themselves to so they are not just selling weapons but also fighting wars themselves

India and China can never use tanks at each other due to geography.

 

[SrNair]

Perhaps some small orders,I cant see nothing more than that.
Because of the Make In India campaign.China also not interested that much because they are taking heavy effort to export weapons.

[AMCA]

Its High Time the Army gets to use Indigenous armory . It may not be as capable as the New Armata, but given our threat perceptions, Arjun Mk2 is a Formidable tank.

This is long term goal of Indian Planners.

And we are going in right direction.

India and China can never use tanks at each other due to geography.

Why so?

For instance, this is ladakh. Sure it contains a lot of mountains, but there are flat passes between the mountains where tanks can travel

Same for Arunachal. The tibetan plateau is fairly flat. So while India might not be able to effectively use tanks due to it's side being rugged, China definitely can for a short intrusion into India as a means of providing firepower to infantry. This is Tawang. I see no reason why a tank can't be used here.

 

[Manindra]

In reality nobody really inquired about tank but Russians are worst advertisers.
