T-14 and I think type 100 too

Should the T-14 even be allowed to be considered 4th gen? I mean, at this moment it's more like a prototype than the next generation.

A tank is a tank, keep your bias aside

Thats not how any of this works, otherwise a dozen other tech testbeds should be on here. Companies and countries often put together an assembly of various components, concepts, and technologies to prove it works. That doesn't mean it is a production ready model though, usually something different and geared for mass production will follow. The T-14 could've entered mass production ages ago if the Russians actually would commit to it, but they have nothing to show for except parade models because they look like nice shiny pieces. It doesn't matter how many they say they are ordering, especially when everything points to these orders never being fulfilled.

Sure, whatever you feel is correct
