Guys, the tank stopped on a trial before the great day, the driver stalled the engine and the tank shut itself locked (it seems is a security design to avoid being captured) and someone from the factory got there and rerstarted the tank without problems. Remember the tank is still at least a year from being ready to production.

 

And remember another thing, Napoleon and Hitler also laughed of Russian weapons and soldiers...

Well said Stratos, but I think we can mock Russian weaponry, as long as we mock the F-35 obviously (F stands for Failure, but you know that).

Anyway, I remember having seen an exercise in the french army to "recover" as quickly as possible a tank if it broke down during the 14th of July parade :

The estimated time was 2 minutes on the most critical point (in front of the president).

My uncle's Nissan Micra which is Keyless entry does the same frigging thing and sometimes won't even let him open the door. I think the Russians have pinched the idea from the Japanese.  :biggrin:  :biggrin:  :biggrin:

 

You can shove complex entry systems and control units up your botty as far as I am concerned.  :blum:

Didn't they watch the Bill Gates Windows 98 video? You never show something off that new in public without the potential to get massive egg on your face!

 

This was certainly a political decision--I'm sure the generals would've preferred to wait for the 2016 parade to show them off.
