A new Russian tank, assumed to be a reverse engineered German Leopard from the war in ukraine has appeared. Eastern media calls it by its official name, the "T-94" while western media have begun calling it the "Russian Leopard" and "Leopard 3".






History
=======

Development on the tank officially begun in February 12 2023 by Uralvagonzavod, however problems with the funding of the program after the stalemate in Ukraine resulted in the delay of the entrance to service to the May of 2025. A couple of pictures of the design of the MBT were leaked in March 3rd of 2024 after a staff member was fired. The Indians joined the program in April 2024 and this effectively saved the project and Uralvagonzavod which had failed to produce the large amounts of T-14s they had to. This proved a successful project as the simple to produce tank made exports all around the world and saved Uralvagonzavod from being dissolved.
