The Army is taking its first steps toward fielding a new tank, the service's chief of staff said July 27.
“We do need a new, ground armored platform for our mechanized infantry and our tanks,” said Gen. Mark Milley during a speech at the National Press Club in Washington, D.C.
Russia is currently working on a new tank known as the T-14 Armata. The system is expected to enter service in 2020. While asked about the implications of the Armata, Milley did not address the threat it could pose or what it would mean for the United States and its NATO allies.
