Point out where T14 Armata was mentioned

https://www.technology.org/2023/04/09/russia-will-not-be-able-to-produce-1500-main-battle-tanks-per-year/

Just a single article but 1500 tanks a year doesn't seem realistic apparently.
Even if it was attainable, having more tanks at the beginning of the war didn't help Russia accomplish stated objectives; We saw that where columns of tanks got taken out by withering ATGM fire.

Also, arguing that because the Soviets produced 80,000 T-34's in the 70 years that it existed including the second world war, somehow proves that Russia could produce 1500 T-90's is not really a valid argument.

Different tanks, different times, different supply chains.

More nazi western propaganda:

Dmitry Medvedev, the deputy head of Russia's Security Council, has said Russia will produce 1,500 battle tanks in 2023. “Conveyer belts of our military industrial complex are working in three shifts, and it will produce as many weapons as needed to efficiently protect the fatherland,” he said

The point I made is that Russia is clearly capable of cranking out military hardware in wartime while entire factories had to be relocated.

Putin doubled the budget, 24/7 production so production will increase there's no other outcome unless a critical part is in short supply because of sanctions but I wouldn't count on that. They'll just use lesser parts and go from there.

Are you saying you will not defend your country when the ruskies attack?

More nazi propaganda !

At bold, 100% true. It is though a stretch to say that because they cranked out x amount of T-34's that they can, without question crank out x amount of T-90's.
Hypothetically if Russia could produce 1000 tanks a year for the next decade, do you think it can provide a solution to its current military predicament? Eg could they mount another assault on Kiev?

In referring to the war period where Russian factories had to be moved, its worth pointing out the scale of support from the allies and in particular Britain, which was not negligible but often forgotten.

"The Prime Minister (Mr. Attlee) Yes, Sir. I am circulating a full statement in the OFFICIAL REPORT. The House may like to have the following summary of this. In the period from 1st October, 1941, to 31st March, 1946, we supplied to the Soviet Union 5,218 tanks, of which 1,388 were from Canada. We supplied 7,411 aircraft, including 3,129 aircraft sent from the United States of America. As previously explained on the 10th May, 1944, the aircraft from the United States of America were sent on United States Lend Lease to the Soviet Union as part of the British commitment to the U.S.S.R. in exchange for the supply of British aircraft to United States Forces in the European Theatre. The total value of military supplies despatched amounts to approximately £308 million. We have also sent about £120 million of raw materials, foodstuffs, machinery, industrial plant, medical supplies and hospital equipment."

Interestingly would account for over £25 billion of aid adjusting for inflation.

"£500,000,000 in 1945 is equivalent in purchasing power to about £27,609,761,902.28 today"

Imho this tank story is over, we just have to wait the end of the year to know the real output.
Btw production =/= renovation.
