Rostec, the Russian state-owned defense conglomerate headquartered in Moscow, assessed some of the West’s military vehicles:
Having reverse engineered numerous military vehicles of the West that were captured on the battlefields of the Ukraine, the head of the state corporation had these things to say...
German Leopard 2 tank:The Leopard tank is made at a high level: modern components, a fire control system, a powerful engine, albeit with strange temperature restrictions. But we did not see any breakthrough design solutions, that is, we have nothing to take from the Leopard and apply to ourselves
American M1A1 Abrams tank:Our specialists also looked at the American Abrams - overall it's an interesting vehicle, although there's nothing to take from it either.
British Challenger 2 tank:I would also like to take a look at the British Challenger, mostly out of curiosity. It is clear in advance that this is a "saucepan" not very suitable for real combat.
American M2 Bradley IFV:Some experts, including ours, praise the Bradley. In my opinion, this is unjustified enthusiasm. It has advantages in terms of protection and convenience of the troop compartment. However, this does not prevent our weapons from destroying the American IFV along with the crew and troops.
The Bradley has a serious weak point: problems with cross-country ability. They get stuck in the black soil and become an easy target. So what's the point of improved protection if the result is the same? Almost all the Bradleys delivered to Ukraine have been destroyed today
