A few days after the sensational statement by Russian Minister Denis Manturov about passing the T-14 Armata tests in Syria, the Chinese media decided to submit their assessment of the situation..
Chinese information portal Sohu published material, which states, that recently sending promising weapons for testing in the Syrian war zone has become a "habit for the Russians".
From an article by a Chinese author:
Testing new weapons, promising military equipment in real combat conditions - then, what has become a habit for Russians, for the Russian army. Previously, they sent the latest Su-57 fighters to Syria.. But here's the question: why Russia sent its new generation T-14 "Armata" tanks to Syria?
Author notes, that the sending of T-14 tanks for testing in the ATS is associated with testing the systems of the latest armored vehicles in those conditions, when the fight is real, when the enemy's actions cannot be predicted on 100 percent. Also in Sohu celebrate, that it is important for a tank to pass tests in "hot desert conditions".
Earlier, China suggested considering the possibility of acquiring a limited batch of T-14 "Armata" tanks from Russia. Recall, that the head of the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation said a few days ago, that tanks have a high export potential, but it will be implemented only after the start of serial deliveries of the T-14 to the Russian Armed Forces.
