disagree  Boris Shapiro: You cannot equip an arsenal. Nor can it quip itself. That's just not English (besides being completely non-idiomatic in itself) // There is no proof to the contrary in the passage you're citing. / It requires a grasp of the English language, that's right.
1 hr
  -> Refer to pg 67 of the book "Security without nuclear weapons ?" By the early 1970s, the US nuclear arsenal had reached its peak in terms of megatonnage, number of warheads and number of delivery systems" Self expanatory. /It requires a broader grasp.

disagree  The Misha: You do realise it's a metaphor, right? Yet you insist on dragging it into a different language verbatim. And that's what makes it sound so awfully funny.

arsenal was expanded


Explanation:
If you insist on using this idiom, it would look something like this: "Recently, the arsenal of NDT tools was expanded with the addition of a new [магнитный дефектоскоп]."

neutral  Boris Shapiro: Isn't it rather arcane? Far more so than арсенал, I'd say. And rather healthcare-specific, if my OED is to be believed.

neutral  Vera Klink: Very accurate and interesting suggestion. The only problem, like Boris says, is that "armamentarium" is a rarely used word. Most readers wouldn't know what it means.
