Russia’s production of its most advanced tank, the T-90M “Breakthrough,” has fallen off dramatically in 2025, casting serious doubt on claims of a manufacturing surge. After upgrading its existing fleet of older T-90As, the main tank factory, UralVagonZavod, has struggled to produce new builds. This production crisis is compounded by reports of poor quality, including bad welds, and deep-seated company issues like lawsuits for unpaid bills, low wages, and corruption.

Tanks are just rolling coffins in this fight.
I suspect it’s a low priority.
Russia is going broke. Their manufacturing base is crumbling.
11% inflation.
21% interest rates.
Food shortages
“I suspect it’s a low priority.”
LOL!
“This production crisis is compounded by reports of poor quality, including bad welds, and deep-seated company issues like lawsuits for unpaid bills, low wages, and corruption.”

The Russians have surely stocked up in machine tools from China.

It’s a bad omen for the Ukie-huggers that they’ve got The Stalker on their side. Just look at his Abel Reyna predictions.
Quick! Give Putin a free subscription to Socrates!

Armstrong’s Socrates computer is well known internationally. His company is the ONLY one that has no entry restrictions in China, Russia, and elsewhere worldwide. Unbiased, fact based, and neutral. Little guys like you simply have no idea- he deals mainly with Sovereign Wealth funds, major banks and sovereign nations.
He is interviewed by Russian, Chinese, SA and ME news agencies quite often. I can post you a few International interviews if you like!
The Putinistas will claim it’s a lie.
Not sure you're right. Troops are way more likely to survive in a tank than they are not in a tank.
“he deals mainly with Sovereign Wealth funds, major banks and sovereign nations.”
LOL! No one would deal with a lying, scamming ex-con caught cheating his clients!
“Armstrong’s Socrates computer is well known internationally.”
That is very true!
Socrates, the ancient Greek philosopher, is not typically associated with scams in the modern sense of the word. He was famously tried and sentenced to death for impiety and corrupting the youth of Athens.
However, it is possible you are referring to a different individual.
For example, there’s a figure named Martin A. Armstrong, an economic forecaster who was convicted of investment fraud. He was involved in a Ponzi scheme that resulted in investors losing $700 million and served time in jail. Armstrong also developed an AI computer system called “Socrates” that analyzes economic data and predicts market trends.
