Putin’s New T-14 Armata Tank Has Been ‘Unleashed’ In Ukraine

As of July 2023, it is uncertain whether Armata tanks have started participating in direct combat. There are several potential reasons for their non-involvement so far. One possibility is that Russia, being aware of the advanced technologies incorporated into its next-generation tank, aims to prevent it from falling into Ukrainian hands in close combat situations. As of now, there have been no open-source reports or documented instances of an Armata tank being destroyed, abandoned, or captured in Ukraine. The introduction or potential engagement of the T-14 Armata raises crucial questions regarding the fleet's size and the effectiveness of its technologies. The exact number of T-14 tanks operated by Russia remains unclear. Even if these main battle tanks are indeed deployed in combat, their quantity may not be significant enough to create a substantial impact. Various news reports suggest that the Kremlin initially placed orders for several thousand T-14 Armatas to be produced several years ago, but the timeline for their arrival appears uncertain and may have been extended beyond 2025. Consequently, determining the exact size of Russia's T-14 force proves challenging.
