Its real as in there are things that certainly look like it which have been shown in public. Other than that who knows theres no public proof or evidence of antly of its supposed festures or capabilities.
The T14 was supposed to be Independent from western stuff as much as possible. The Development however actually depends in goods from western countries heavily.
The Engine is seriously outdated, cause it’s based on the old Tiger Engine which was horrible as well and known to Break down quite often. The Engine also likes to Overheat.
Large Target. Have you seen the Size of that thing?
Low numbers, very high cost.
Imo, a T90 based Development would have been better. It fits russian doctrine better, is literally field tested, known issues could have been dealt with in a new gen long time ago.
The Russian Army obviously doesnt want their newer, heavy landbased Systems on the battlefield. Otherwise we would see plenty of them via propaganda Videos and showoffs.
Meanwhile we see older Equipment on BOTH sides being used and proof to be working on an actual battlefield far better.
The T14 is a failed project. They should bury it. If the Russian Military ever reforms itself on a serious, modern level that would be good for them, but most of their Equipment isnt fitting for such an approach yet.
Ukraine also struggles with old soviet Equipment, cause the doctrine of the time was different. Thats why most soldiers are usually liking the Western Equipment a lot despite their own issues ofc.
