My 2 cents: the tank is too raw and it was a very stupid idea to take it to parade. Need more time to make it perfect like AK assault riffle family, R-36 Satan, Kamov Ka-52, Topol-M, SA-21 Growler, Shkval 2 etc. All those weapons are still best in the world, but their improvement took some time, which is definitely more than 2 years.
