Looks like Armata program will be very delayed

First 9 vehicles were supposed to be delivered & deployed to Russian army around 2018, but delayed to 2019, then delayed again to sometime 2020. No news about state trial, it looks like state trial is also delayed together.

132 deployment of Armata within the end of 2021 seems very unlikely. Some suggest (BMPD) massive production wouldn't be possible until 2023 ~ 2025. Plus, there are T-72B3, T-90M, and T-80BVM which also requires some amount of resources for mass production.

So, any modern mod for current AB or next game engine for next AB should not introduce Armata (or should have crazily expensive price at best).
