To partner nations. Not likely to see the Armata rolling around in NATO camo any time soon, but makes for an interesting scenario if it were, along side M1 or leopard tanks in some of the East European nations.

More likely to see it rolling over M 1 or Leopard tanks. (I exclude Challenger 2 as we have so few of these now that it is extremely unlikely they would ever come into contact with each other).

We'll see one in our 'backyard' eventually after release. Usually though a 3rd party 'vendor'. Weaponry of all sorts and sizes usually finds its way to new 'owners' for evaluation. I've been on those missions.

I'll say that we have to see it just rolling, first...
Perhaps getting some fresh external funds finally allows Russia to actually produce a significant number of fully operational -and proven succesful- T-14's.

Thanks, Peter; whilst I saw the news at yet another website, it remains the same information.
And no, I do not expect to ever see this in combat, the Terminator has been used in Syria... so it is possible.
