I don't have much time as this is a workday for me, however, the next provides somewhat of a
clearer picture for a timeline for some Russian equipment and confirms some of my own beliefs as posted on the matter. It covers a broad range of land equipment that Don and I have been tracking for
many years now, with at least one that pre-dates the
T-14, the
K-17 Bumerang.
This is NOT set in stone, it just gives us a better "tracking tool" then what I've seen in a longtime for this many platforms.
The source is Russian MOD,
Deputy Defence Minister Alexey Krivoruchko on
30 DEC 2020. JANE's reporting.
"The military will also receive 94 fixed- and rotary-wing aircraft, including
22 Su-57 multirole combat aircraft, ahead of schedule through
2024.
Maybe 2025.
In
2022 the MoD is
planning to complete the development of the
T-14 Armata main battle tank,
T-15 Armata, B-11 Kurganets-25, and K-17 Bumerang infantry fighting vehicles,
B-10 Kurganets-25 and K-16 Bumerang armoured personnel carriers, the T-16 armoured recovery vehicle, the
Koalitsiya-SV 152 mm self-propelled howitzer, and a number of advanced combat stations for tracked and wheeled combat platforms, according to Krivoruchko. “We are planning to complete trials of the
S-500 air defence system and to adopt it and to accept the Voronezh very-high-frequency radar into service,” he said."
If they stay on schedule, I can see
FOC for some of this equipment by
mid-2023. A lot of this will be
driven by when
serial production begins, combat units get equipped and when MOD announces
FOC.
Now we shift dates accordingly and "
sit and wait" for the Russians to just "
get the job done".
