Does Argentina plans to stock up on tanks ?
The T-72 would be an improvement over the TAM. The only advantage it has is that it has components in common with the VCTP

Its not to scale...there cant be so much difference in size to that of T-80. Compare the size of UAZ in front of the Armata. No way T-80 can be so small..Interesting overlay of new Russian tank compared to T-80:
It would be interesting to know if this is really to scale?
Because that would make this tank basically Abrams sized.

Armata turret looks actually quite small when you compare it to that improved 125mm gun. How heavily such turret can be armored is questionable... of course it increases crews changes to survive when hit but increased change of mission kill becomes bigger problem.
I'd be surprised if that turret has thick frontal and side armor. Of course it could be driving without any sort ERA or other add on armor but we'll see that soon enough.

Interestingly enough, I had the opportunity to be up close to a T-62 once (and as you know it is a little smaller than a T-80) and I was surprised on how small it was. About the same size as a TAM.
Go to Wikipedia and see the relative sizes of the tanks. I have provided links below:
As I mentioned prior. All this is speculation.

Here are a couple of size comparison charts:

I'm not sure that Ukraine will be privileged to determine either the location, timing, or the method of their delivery, though!

Well, the 7 road wheels layout of the Armata is new to Russian tanks and is similar to the Abrams. So, they may be similar in hull length, at least (as your layover illustrates).
