First serial models on state tests now. Before to launch full scale serial production.
Do you think it is long process? Okey. Let’s remember.
First prototype of T-80 arrived in 1969, serial production launched in 1976 — 7 years later. But T-80 even not created from scratch and it was not so complicated.
Another example, Germany and France several years agp promised to create own similar to T-14 tank and it will arrive in… 2035. They create it together because it is too complicated for each country alone.
New tank, from scratch, first in own generation — it is not so fast as you can think. Russia built first prototype in 2015. In 2021 tank passed all state tests and accepted to army. In 2022 factory produced first tanks with serial technology. Now they again pass tests to confirm capabilities of factory and then serial production. So?
And what about three new Russian class of nuclear strategic submarines, new ICBMs and SLBMs from scratch, S-400, S-500, Su-35 and Su-57, and so on, a lot of other weapons?)

Let’s check what arrived in Russia in latest years, just largest and most important examples:
ICBM, SLBM, space rockets and missiles: Yars, Bulava, Sarmat, Nudol, Angara (civilian, but till now used only army), Iskander (cruise and ballistic tactical missiles), Bastion, X-47, Zircon, Avangard.
I not mentioned several upgrades to Soviet rockets, only new one from scratch (so yep, Trident would never arrive in this list as outdated tech).
Ships: project 22220, largest and most powerful in world nuclear icebreakers (each one is more complicated project than aircraft carrier), nuclear strategic submarines (by projects): Yasen, Borei, 09852 (largest in world, carrier for new kind of weapon: nuclear powered intercontinental torpedos Poseidon with thermonuclear warhead).
SAM: S-400, S-350, S-500.
Jets: Su-35 and Su-57.
Space: nuclear reactor for space (1MWh class, incredible power; USSR used reactors for space radars, US still never build anything similar, bought low power soviet reactor, tried to repeat, failed), unknown class of military satellites where one satellite is mothership and it launch and accept different small satellites which can approach and fly around military satellites of USA (from official US reports).
And a lot, hundreds actually, of rest less important new weapons and technologies.
Space rocket Nudol is hypersonic, there are several videos of it launch, already on 2nd second it get speed of 7km/s and reach ISS (else one invention of Russians) in less than 1 minute. It is especially incredible because rocket have such speed from ground and while it fly into space.
Two month ago arrived video from Kiev how hypersonic missile X-47 destroy Patriot complex. It launched 30 missiles at same time and anyway failed. Explosions was epic.
Su-35 is first in world with supermaneuverability, Holy Grail of 5th gen technology which Russia developed 30 years (and nobody still can’t repeat).
Tank T-14… and what with it? Long process? Let’s check: prototype of tank arrived back in 2015. In December 2021 it passed all state tests and was accepted to army. Is it long? Tank T-80, first prototype in 1969, accepted in 1976 — 7 years. But T-80 created not from scratch as T-14 and of course not so complicated. Another example Germany and France united to create similar projects, because it is too complicated for each country alone. Promised similar tank only in… 2035. In 2022 Russia produced first test versions of tanks (factory need to teach workers before launch serial production), after all tests, it means next year will arrive first serial tanks. But I’m glad that you ignored such new weapons as ICBMs and nuclear strategic submarines and decide to discuss about… tank, similar version of which in world will arrive only in 2035! And while Russia produce not less new T-90 and have whole bunch of modifications for another tanks 😂

X-47B project was closed, reason unknown, but looks like price. It was overpriced and failed model.
US wanted to create large UAV, so they created small one X-47A, then middle one X-47B and wanted to build X-47C, final goal of project, but just to build middle drone they spent $813 millions. So, they close project.
At same time Russia spent just $25 millions and built S-70, it is huge 20 ton drone (like US wanted to build X-47C, but failed).
$25 millions and done vs. $813 millions and fail. Corruption in US is incredible! 😮
Moreover, X-47B controlled by operator, it is manned from ground. S-70 have no operator, it is robot.
