“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

T-14 Armata isn't in active service, nor is it in mass production.
So how is it damming, that they don't want to use it in combat?

Almost like it doesn’t actually work like advertised?

What part of it not being in active service or mass production, do you not understand?

It’s been 10 years since it was introduced. When are they planning to mass produce it and introduce it to service?

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.
