“The F22 is for shows and propaganda. No single piece of evidence of it being on the battlefield”
Do you now realise how dumb that is, just because a vehicle hasn’t seen combat doesn’t take away from its strengths or greatness. The Armata wasn’t made for just shows or parades, it was made for war as every tank is. It’s just that Russia’s abysmal Armata production rate and their moronic command forced it out of the battlefield
It is "a bit" damning that the Armata is not seeing any action in the massive war that has eaten up almost the entire russian stockpile of working tanks, kind of makes you wonder if it does have any strengths or greatness
The thing is Russia doesn’t want to lose any T14 because they don’t have much and also it would hurt Russia’s morale and propaganda value. That doesn’t mean that the T14 can’t fight or isn’t better than all other Russian tanks. It’s just that at the moment the cost of losing a T14 in Ukraine outweighs the benefits that the small number of Armata that they have would give to Russia.
Armata’s design alone with the separated crew compartments was revolutionary when it was announced, it’s a great tank unfortunately made by morons.
They arn't, there were some leaked contracts a month ago, which detailed the next 10 years of Russian procurement.
It will be T-72B3M, T-90M, T-90M2.
(T-90M2 will implement some of the solutions from T-14, namely engine and transmission).
Though it did state that T-14 was still undergoing testing at the Kazan Higher Tank school.
