I found it very interesting that their most recent MBT, the Armata T-14, has a lot of attention turned to crew survivability. This is very close to Israeli doctrine, and is a reversal of the WWII and Cold War notions of cheap, fragile, and overwhelming numbers. They do seem to have gone back to the drawing boards over the past decade.
