Design choices do not exist in a vacuum, and these things take a lot of investment for very uncertain gains. Of course, the fact that Russian official lines need to constantly downplay the strength of its "enemies" doesn't help - they can hardly afford to be seen copying "inferior" western technology :) | |

That or manufacturing this armor is extremely difficult or they suffer from "not made here" syndrome. | |
