The Armata malfunctioned during the parade, which was quite embarrassing to Russians.
Their first "official explanation" was that it was part of the show as they wanted to show their evacuation vehicle in action, their second "official explanation" was much more believable.
The factory had wanted to use their own employees as the drivers during the parade but the military insisted on using military personnel and since they had had only a month to get used to the tank they made some "user errors" and after the engine had stalled the tank had to be towed because they engaged the "hand brake" but did not realize it.
If you watch the videos you will notice that many of the drivers have trouble maintaining stable speed, the tanks accelerate and decelerate repeatedly as they try to stay in formation. This is a clear sign of the drivers not being used to driving these tanks. The tank that stalled probably did so simply because the driver accidentally something and based on the observation that when the the tank is being towed tracks are sliding rather than turning the hand brake explanation is also probably true.
So it is too early to say that the Armata is unreliable, but you can make a few assumptions from this incident:
a) The Red army has not yet managed to train crews for the Armatas properly. This is not a surprise since the tank is brand new and it takes a while to train crew for any tank.
b) Continuing from a, since I assume that the Red army will pick their best and brightest crew members as drivers and pilots to avoid embarrassments like this, so the fact that they still have trouble with the Armata means that it handles differently from their older tanks and familiarity with them does not help with the new tank.
