- The T-14 Armata, Russia's touted next-generation tank, was supposed to usher in a new era of armored dominance. Boasting advanced weaponry, unparalleled protection, and cutting-edge technology, it promised to be a game-changer on the battlefield. Yet, despite its formidable reputation, the Armata remains largely unseen, a silent spectator in the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. What makes this technological marvel sit on the sidelines, leaving the battlefield to its less-celebrated counterparts?
Today, we will delve into the reasons behind this puzzling absence, exploring the intricate web of technical challenges, strategic calculations, and symbolic complexities that keep the Armata out of the fight. Stay tuned and share your thoughts at the end of the video!

1:35 I didn't know that general Sergey Surovikin had a twin brother.
Exactly
I didn't knew Sergey Anatolyevich Lipovoy changed his gender and went from aviation into tank troops.
I don't think the Russians are alone in developing uneconomic solutions to weapons. On paper this tank looks unbeatable, really excellent. But in reality its like trying to drive a porsche through a muddy field; you're much better off with tractor. The same can said for missiles really. The highly advanced, accurate missiles the west has look perfect on paper, the problem comes when you need 100'000 of them. Same for aircraft, the planes have become as irreplaceable as the pilots, simply because they cost so much to make. I suspect that the reason we haven't seen the Russian air force taking control of the Ukraine airspace; they simply can't afford to lose planes anymore than we can.
Are u a weapons designer? It's taken so long cause it's going to be the best tank in the world, so when u know nothing please keep your boring meaningless comments to yourself

T14 Stealth concept is unbeatable: A tank that does not exist can never be hit.

Seeing as how they expected to have built over 2,000 by 2022 and they only have produced 40 I'd say that it's more precise to say that a tank that does not get built can never be hit.
Any tanks or armored vehicles are all not full proof of destruction and all can be destroyed.

Why use your best equipment when you have thousands of onld ones?? It makes sense they are not using them, since nothing is invecible.
The Armata is a striking departure from the design doctrine Russia inherited from the Soviet Union. The Soviets never aspired to design the best tanks in the world, they built tanks that were good enough, and could be produced cheaply in colossal quantities. This, for example, is why production of the more advanced and logistically demanding T-80 was discontinued in favour of the T-90 which is, essentially, just an upgraded T-72.
t80 has a gas turbine and that already makes it way more expensive. its questionable if its worth it. auto loader is similar.. i think t80 auto loader is actually even higher.
Yep, and russia is returning to the t 80 as ultimately the t 72 can no longer keep up with the need of the new drone age, t 90ms will likely be one of the last variant of the t72 past as the need for more maunvabality and protection is bringing back the t80 so the next gen tanks will likely have its upgrades coming from the t 80 platform, and a likely will bring the engine and transmission to the armata
This is one of the things Putin's legacy will be judged hardest on. There is a lot to say about Soviet times, but they developed and procured things that made sense by numbers alone. With Putin and after the post-Soviet economic slump, Putin has seen most interested in making prototypes that give the illusion of "Gen 5" in insanely small numbers. Everyone is entitled to an opinion on the F-35 program, but there are 1000 of them now flying and by 2025/6 there will be some 1300 of them with the same readiness status as the F-15, 16 and -18, finally fully operational (aka Block 4). Putin has maybe a dozen SU-57s after all these years and nobody knows how operational they are. All this while everyone can see what is happening. Putin created "F-35" type "next-gen" programs that have made several Russians pretty well off. There is a lot to dislike about Western programs, but credit where credit is due: The F-35 flies in substantial numbers, and the cost has gone down as promised (including operational cost) albeit with delays over the decades.
We have seen this dynamics before. When USA saw the spec sheet for the MIG 25, they instantly went bonkers and poured all their brain into the F-15, an absolute overkill in other words once we figured out that the MIG-25 was eating up its own engines within minutes at speed and had a turning radius of a small planet. Though the F-15 was totally OP, it has also been a fantastic workhorse for many nations and NATO for half a century. It may be a design that will be combat-ready for close to a full century, which is kind of insane to imagine as kids need new smartphones every year because of "technology". The three "teens" from America are absolute anomalies (you have newborn 15s and 16s coming off the lines right now 4 and 5 decades after going into production; I am not sure about the status of the 18 right now). That is longer production history than the design cycle of an effing modern Frigate or submarine these days.
Back to tanks: Everyone knows that a Javelin is totally OP for anything armoured while being supposed to be mobile. As are last-generation mines and everything else. We do not have HULK machines. We do however have tactics and situational awareness.
I watched footage of a good old Bradley, not always universally loved, take down a T-90 in Ukraine today on YT with a crew that has studied dancing.
Even if the T-14 is as good as advertised, it is worthless if your soldiers are not trained and you do "combined arms manoeuvres" by sending a single tank and two armoured vehicles into an open field to die from ignorance.
A billion AK-47s are a problem. 10 "anything" looking "advanced" on the Red Sqare", not so much.
agree 100%
@jebise1126The T-80 was designed as a strategic sub zero MBT, the reason why it's production has been revived is for the fact that now with Nato forces in Finland, a new Military District has to be formed, and this will be the home of the T-80s. But in the meantime the platform has to be developed and tested for battle readiness and will be used in the coming Russian offensive this winter of early 2024---we shall see how it will perform....
I love that it's only trick in the whole video is to spin the turret around.
LOL.....he certainly can't even shoot.....or?
Development secrecy is the reason for that 😂😂😂😂😂 they cant reveal the puppeteers inside 😂
They probably watched the fight over naboo scene in star wars episode 1 to often. Bradley shoots and T-90M "I try spinning thats a good trick"
@WarCry3R19 how did you forget when Alyosha in his single T80 wasted 5 Bradleys and 3 of something else gifted? All on video for entire world to see. With total crew losses of over 50 men in total.
@@OleDiaBole didnt forget it and the world neither, but the thing is 1. They are trapped in a minefield and the the vehicles where slightly miss used. 2. only russia ist talking about how superior there technology is for example that meme propaganda channel combat approved. These vehicles arent immune but they are advanced and build around Crew survivability. The whole t80 project was a desaster and only the t72 was a well build tank, less complex in design but good enough. But all T-series tanks, they are build on old soviet doctrines, only wave pushing
I suspect none of these "next generation" tanks from Russia or the West are anything special. Anti tank weapons and mine deployment has advanced much more than tank armour.
Western tanks and IFV have proven their effectiveness in battlefield, not only in accuracy and destruction but also in saving the crew lives... russian tanks are the opposite, complete failure.
I agree
Check out the new German Panther tank with integrated drone system
@DeltaStar777 🙄, still WILL GET SMOKED by future shoulder/portable fire weapons LIKE ALL "Top-Tier" tanks( Westor other's) vehicles do BECAUSE of the simple fact that $50,000-$70,000 IS MUCH MORE CHEAPER AND EFFECTIVE THAN A 5-10 MILLION dollar vehicle FOOL, learn your military/weapon history
Russian drones are destroying most armor in Ukraine today. Ukraine is hitting as well, but they are not as capable or as advanced.
The picture of the general you showed was Gen Surovikin, not Lipova?
They are AFRAID to use it until ALL other older models have been inialated.
Also keeping them around Moscow for LAST DEFENSE scenario.
Numerous factors include a crew lacking experience, nascent technology, low availability of spare parts, etc. Being economical, Russia chose to field older, more dependable models instead of a brand-new tank.
if they ever want to export it loosing some in ukraine would be bad for reputation
Totally not true at all the Russian economy is living it best situation and literally it became much better than the American dream it self
The spare parts exist and in incontinence numbers

@@jebise1126 Where are the Ukrainian US Abrams and Brit Challengers....??!
The current battlefield has changed. No one tank is able to resist drone attacks. Even Armata wasn't prepared for this kind of attacks. That's why they didn't send it into battle. I'm sure they work on equipment with active defense against air attacks. Without it, there is no point in sending a new tank into battle.
I had this thought of addable, learning AI controlled mini-turrets, multi-barrel rapid fire, high-velocity pistol calibre cartridges or cut down rifle ones of the 5.56 or 7.62 x39. With suitable rounds and radar.. like a very scaled down Phalanx CIWS designed specifically for drones, preferably gimballed and pop-up.
The main thing I’ve noticed about the T-14 (£all other Russian tanks) is how much the entire tank moves when the gun is fired-compared to nato tanks , tanks like challenger 2 virtually zero movement from the vehicle .
But then .. the T-14 does have a very spinny around turret 😂😂
🤷♂
Странно, что вы не заметили отсутствие эжектора на стволе орудия, ведь продувка ствола стала не нужна в необитаемой башне. И сравните вес "Арматы" и танков запада,кто из них легче?!
The Armata has a much bigger gun by comparison, and the turret is completely automated with no crew inside and no ammunition bustle.
Bigger gun on a lighter vehicle.
It is to be expected.
Ha...if you have 12000 old but good enough to fighting with or without upgrading is very stupid to use new one.
Totally agree.

Maybe the question should be.. Why hasn't the US used the F22 or F35 in Syria or anywhere near anywhere else Russian S300 & S400 anti-aircraft systems have been deployed.. or anywhere they have faced a real military not just goat headers with a few light weapons???
Where is the evidence of the F22 or F35 shooting down any major military country's platforms with current era offensive or defensive capabilities? When has the M1 Abrams, including with DU armour, faced and survived modern antitank warfare from the ground and sky like has been shown to be modern ground war in Ukraine? Again, not just goat headers with light weapons.

@@user-vk7vl4qy8b - Thank you. And quite serious. Canuck here GI Joe. Why didn't you respond to my statement with your argument against it. Pretty obvious there is no valid argument against the facts I stated.
Israel did that.
as far as i read the news on neutral media, armata is still in development phase, it's still TBA this year if they're finished and go to production phase. the reason why the development phase stretches, coz of the chasis, they re-modify it again coz of tank losses on russo ukraine war.
The company which designed the tank went bankrupt (Ural) , they were supposed to have hundreds of them by 2017 and thousands by 2021, yet they have a dozen max (they do not have 40), they don’t have the MONEY to spend on the T-14, also the T-14 has MANY FATAL design flaws, but whatever, one things for sure, the T-14 won’t be in service on the battlefield until atleast 2030

@@e.m.8184 go to Ukraine and tell me if you see any t-14s in use 🤣
@@Skiffik5 I wasn't talking to you, nerd
They are so invincible they will never need to use them😂
The perspective of protecting this new tank from falling into the hands of an adversary is a strong possibility. Russia can always break it out should a greater conflict ensue. The turret slightly resembles the Israeli tank, which has proven less effective against the Palestinian improvised RPG rounds and urban warfare improvised combat.
Turret looks nothing like that of Merkava.
Legend has it that it is still being towed in parade formation.....
When that happened? Source?
Hahaha 🙃 these jokes are getting old now 😢
How? We already know that it's impossible to tow, and can only move under its own power.
Why are they having so much trouble with it? Simple, they tried to build the system with so many gee-whiz stuff on it. Like the German-American MBT-70, they designed a tank by committee. It's like when engineers build a fighter plane without input from the fighter pilot.
T-14 is actually being re-worked in include lessons learned from Ukraine. Hence the delay. And guess what? The spec sheet is written by the Directorate of armored vehicles and tanks of Russian MOD. They absorb all the lessons learned from conflicts foreign and local, get them analyzed, systematized and then spec sheet is written based on that. And the tank is built with ease of use in mind. You are forgetting that the biggest lesson every large war has taught everyone is that highly-trained force is quickly attrited at the front line from all the intense combat. And then you need large-scale mobilization, where you'll have a whole lot of people that are far from technically minded.
@@Max_Da_G The T-14 was designed by committee and it shows as its different systems resulted in an unsupportable tank. If you put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig.
@@Max_Da_Gwhile I agree with your ideas, most of the reason that the armata is being delayed, 1 what you said (although Russia is not known for taking lessons well) and 2 money, Russia isn’t broke but they don’t have the monetary resources to be investing in this at the moment, as to why their brand new multi role fighter, which was also said to be better than its American counterpart, isn’t in the air. Russia also has some nuance for massive corruption within its ranks at officer level and beyond, and a list of other reasons and possibility’s as to why it’s not in combat, it does at least on paper look like a solid vehicle, especially from a hull down position.
The spinning of the tower is a clear indicator that parts of washing machines stolen from Ukraine were used for these tanks.
Modern washing machines centrifuge at 1400 rotations per minute. I see lots of room for improvements here.
And we all got bored with the flying turret jokes, so I support these upgrades.
The tanks needs to have protectiom against drones and shoulder fired weapons.
That's one of the reasons it's being reworked. I'd say its active protection systems and networking are being modernized.
Bigger hype than this was heaped on the Abrams tank, but relatively cheap drones and rocket propelled grenades are turning it into barbecue.
i love the videos of Russian tanks spinning turrets, jumping over hills and just going fast. What's hysterical to me is the actions are always the same whether T55's or Armata tanks.
Cope?
Videos of western tanks are the same.
Well, what else you want a tank to do? A barrel roll?
"Fighter jet videos are boring, they just fly around doing nothing"
Tanks are usually mythical and invincible until they are up against a real adversary. See what happened to the Leopard 2 and the Challenger 2. The US "procrastinated" seriously with the delivery of a batch of Abrams, and don't want the Ukrainians to use them on attacks to avoid negative publicity. It might be the same for the Russians - not willing to spoil everything by putting immature prototype T14's in harms way. Also, they might concentrate on the production and improvement of existing models that are simply "just good enough" for what they're used for against a dwindling Ukrainian army.
The procrastination was caused by the logistical nightmare of supplying Ukraine with expensive jp8 fuel. Abram’s have been exported to other countries and knocked out (Saudi Arabia)…. So if you’re looking for negative publicity try Russia struggling with a bunch of Ukrainian farmers for TWO years😅
@@frankleespeaking9519 Nip the procrastination was due to political reasons. The Saudi losses were not in the general news, at least in Europe, so it did not hurt the image of the US MIC as much as the widely publicized Ukraine situation. As for struggling - currently, the Uki's are struggling. The initial Russian intervention of the war that started in 2014 was to express a stark warning to the Ukraine and the west that Russia did not tolerate the transgression of the international law in the form of the UN ratified Minsk accords. Only after the west ordered the Kiev regime to break of peace negotiations in Istanbul, the Russians started to build up real military power. This took some time, but as the abysmal defeat of the Ukrainian summer offensive shows, it had results.
No one but the Russians have proclaimed that the West have said that Leo 2 or similar have been unbeatable. You are rehashing Russian propaganda. The same Russians that claimed the CV90 was taken out by a gen1 RPG, while it later found out a T72 SABOT was needed and in turn only the commander was killed on a full pen. The real reason the T14 is not in combat is because it does not work! That is why its not in theater, that is why they still claim their "production model" is a "test model" when it suits them, while at the same time, like this video, try to state it is the best tank in the world. Their claims are all over the place, yet you rehash some of them like its "fact", it is not.
@@robendert7617 The US was not worried about the “optics” of a knocked out Abram’s tank on Russian TV. There hasn’t been a new m1 produced in over 20 years. Hell, I just saw a video from warthog where two Bradley s knocked out a t90. The Germans were not going to give up leopards until the USA gave up m1’s. So we sent 30. It’s all about the logistics of the fuel. In desert storm every m1 was followed by two fuel trucks. Imagine if in ww2, German tiger tanks took a different fuel than the panther, stugs, half tracks etc… Patriot missile systems and Himars and communication that was sent to Ukraine are much more valuable targets.

Well they have their strategies and options right?
Where is the ammo stored? In T-90 it just under the turret which leads to some spectacular turret tosses.
Is this the same model of tank that broke down during a military parade and had to be towed by a T72? Impressive stuff.
They quickly bluffed that it was because the driver wasnt well trained and he forgot to release the handbrak. (True)

@@tobylaine2785 In addition to the suspension, the electronics are being modified to take into account the war in Ukraine, as well as the gun switch from 125 mm to 155 mm. For the T 90 and T 80 tanks, mobile electronic warfare systems from enemy FPV drones began to be “collectively farmed”; it is foolish to believe that the new tank will go into production without modifications, which were shown by the experience of the war. Everything is in open sources, use the Internet.
This tank isn't used in Ukraine because it's currently pulling guard-duty of the Su-57s.
I think that we get remote controlled tanks in the future just like drones playing a big part already
The IS-3 was hyped up by the Soviets as well.
At the victory parade in Berlin, the Soviets rolled some IS-3s through and the western nations lost their minds. (Or so the legend states)
It was all for nothing though. On paper the IS-3 was great, but they too were just a propaganda tank.
Personally, I think the T-14 is just too expensive for Russia to make and maintain a significant number of them.
I remember how the F-35 had software problems for years and were delayed for mass production countless times. A lot of people even thought the planes were going to be recalled but Lockheed clearly fixed the issues. The Russians will eventually work the kinks out just the same. It's not easy developing a new untested tank platform for mass production while you're fighting a war at the same time, and the sanctions don't make things easy. Russians obviously do go around sanctions but they have to pay kick backs to post-Soviet republics like Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan.
A F-35 is a huge difference in tech compared to an MBT tho.
US and German Technology is unreliable and too complex, soviet and klingon technology rules!
You have a point, but they seem to have spent a loooong time on this tank already.
OP thinks everyone has forgotten about other Russian propaganda tanks...
Honest guys, the T-14 Hyperloop works as it should. They just dont want to go too hard on the Ukrainians. /sarcasm
there is no actual proof of being unreliable... however they (russians) would still probably be better with changing autoloader on t90. making it similar to french one. this would mean turret could be empty and shells stored away from crew. surely such tank would be cheaper and easier to introduce.
The T90 mods are just fine. Surprising to hear the french tanks reference - as if the french war tech is in any way meaningful to the modern warfare.

The T-14 is an amazing tank on paper, unfortunately for Russia, you can't fight a war with paper tanks.
Given Russia's history of parading a piece of military equipment down the block then behind the scenes painting a different number on the side then driving it down again to inflate the apparent numbers. I do not believe they have built 40 T-14s. You can only trust what they built with what you can see at one time. The most T-14s I have ever seen at one time was 9. That's how many they actually bult, 9 not 40.
The T-14 Armata IS fighting in Ukraine. It's stealth technology is just so good that it's never been spotted.

For the same reason Britain told Ukraine to remove the Challengers from the front line after the first one was destroyed or America told them to not even use the Abrams on the front line at all..... It's a PR nightmare.
Not really. The whole point of deploying weapon systems is on the understanding that some of them are going to be damaged or destroyed. The reason that Russia isn't deploying the T14 is that they don't have any. Same reason that they aren't using the SU57.
@@LoneWolf-rc4go Last count was around 100 T14's but when they try to sell an export variant, it will be hard to sell if they are destroyed in Ukraine. The manufacturers of Challenger and Abrams pulled from the front for this reason. As soon as the first Challenger was destroyed, the rest went to the rear. Abrams weren't even allowed in the front. In the middle of an offensive when Ukraine needed them most, they were told they couldn't use them.
they are saving them for the better weather no tanks good in deep mud
Offensive usage of armor relies heavily on the element of surprise. With the heavy use of drones in this conflict, achieving that is virtually impossible. Both sides know the other is coming. That's why Ukraine pulled their armor back. Russia, however, keeps throwing armor at Ukrainian lines and losing them. In this situation it's better for Ukraine to let Russia deplete their armor systems against MANPADS and save their own for when Russian armor numbers are sufficiently depleted.
@@glennhearn401 they were using the challenger in summer when one got blown up which quickly resulted in the removal from the front lines. Abrams were also available in the summer but never allowed in the front.

Napoleon used the chaussers as a strategic reserve usually to pierce the enemies flanks but as at elyau he was not above frontal knock out blows
It was swiftly renoved from danger as it wasnt effective enough and probably was in danger of been destroyed or captured.
It was never in combat zone.
They named it the T-14 because there are only 14 of them.
A good general keeps his best for last. Keep your best weapons in reserve so that when NATO decides to face Russia in a direct conventional war Russia will have plenty to demonstrate for them.
Thermal technology can't detect such a tank that is crazy can the Abram tank do that as well?
The engine outputs heat, generation 3 thermals will pick it up, anything that want to see it likely will, such technology is useless on the ground for the most part with the addition of handheld drones to the field of combat. Tanks in general are now just tin cans with a crew
Because it’s their newest most advanced tank probably still going through test phases.
It’s experimental tank. Seems age of tanks is over like the age of the horse 🐎
Now is age of drones
To me, the T-14 looks like a children’s toy, made to large scale. It doesn’t look imposing, it looks like junk. The fact that it isn’t being used in Ukraine backs that assessment up.
They don't need to use that because russia has already strong military power.
It uses a mercury thermometer thermal imaging system that is .......a little laggy
🤣
I recall hearing about transmission issues. Linked to using parts from a T90 MBT.
According to the Russians, they lead the world in military hardware, tanks, smallarms. Subs. Jets, etc.. They. Just fail to prove it.
We will consider it "tested" when it shrugs off a Javelin or Tow missile to its crown... Until that time, its a cosmetic show piece that remains untested much like the SU57...

And the Chally was till it met a peer adversary.. and we all know why the Abrams hasn't appeared as promised lol
It has appeared and done well against Russian armor... I don't know if one has been hit by a Russian Kornet yet & if it did get hit by one, it will probably shut the Abrams down... Again... nothing is tested until it gets hit & nothing is safe anymore no matter who makes it... @@whakatu4life285
Tows are easy but javelin that’s a challenge
It has nothing to do with the fact that the units that use the T-14 are not on the combat line yet?
T-14s are not just randomly issued to every Russian armor unit. They are built to work together using the Netcentric capabilities they all have.
We will know NOTHING about how good or bad the T-14 until it is in the field IMHO
still mines will stop it and 155mm will kill it. there is question if armata is not obsolete already... that is not that tank is obsolete but that tank needs even more adaptation.

The realities of modern day tank warfare discovered in Ukraine probably showed that the design of the T-14 needed even more adjustments to truly be the "super tank" that the russian army desired. I guess lots of research is being done to improve anti drone and anti top attack defenses
In 2020 Russia should had 2000 Armata tanks in active servise. In 2024 had 0 Armatas in active servise. Isnt able start serial production and few prototypes which only exist is useless for RA. Its reality.
So we will know nothing about it ever apart from it being easy to imobilise by applying the handbrake. Gotcha.👍
It's a GREAT TANK in a parade. Well, except that one that broke down and had to be towed. Other than that, a GREAT TANK!
I've even heard the t14 can even fly. So it can take out the West stealth fighters. This is truly the greatest machine ever made by man.
I also heard its a 100 ft tall and can shoot fireballs out of its arse!
Pointing out British intelligence as a trusted source of information is the height of stupidity.
T14 ARMATA Is often used for propaganda purposes not for combat purposes 👌🏾
Lol and what if some country buys them in masses? Like India than they will have enough fund to make a lot of T-14 Armata for themselves too.
And what?
You Lee
And what, ???
As with any Russian propaganda parades, their presentation is their image. We all know what Ukraine have been doing to Russian image. This T14 would make a wonderful javelin scrutiny.
Cost to much to destroy putting it on the battlefield
Or maybe they are kept back for when abrams turn up if needed .
they only have about 6 of them, 3 may actually move under their own power..🤣
Russian t14 is so stealthy even Russians themselves cannot see them 😂
I think is to expensive for this war. . . And number of 40 tanks is not to impresive !
The tank is probably expensive and too precious to lose in Ukraine and for its technology to fall into enemy hands so it is being withheld for a serious war.
In other words, Armata is too expensive and useless for Russian army. In 2020 Russia should had 2000 Armatas tanks in active servise. In 2024 Russia has 0 Armatas in active servise and has only few unfinished prototypes.
Serious war? Russia has send almost 1 million soldiers and lost almost 5000 tanks and 12,000 IFV, hundreds of fighters jets and a dozen ships. Isn´t that serious enough you dumbo? 🤣
Serious war ? Ok 😂😂😂
IT IS MANDATORY for Russian army vehicles of any kind, from smallest to most complicated, to have ALL of it's components to be build in Russia only. So no sanctions could do any impact. Its not on the field yet, because possible leaks of technologies are more important atm then possible minor advantage on the battlefield. Also there were too much of unused tanks left from USSR. Its just much more rational thing to do to use them now. But. If Russia will make it to Kiev or Odessa, Im sure we will see them. Just for the picture.
Yeah no. Russia used to buy 10 year out of date western electronics. Russia cannot produce electronics on par with western countries or even China.
Oh yeah, the T-14’s engine is based on the extremely unreliable engine from the WW2 German Tiger tank and is still unreliable. Even worse, the T-14 was designed around the ancient German engine and no other engine will fit without a complete redesign of the T-14.
Cool tank. But have you ever heard of the A - 10?
It's a very nice tank I like the morden design
T-14 would be the new turret toss champion.
Как F 22 по сбивания птиц и шаров
The reason for the characteristic decapitation of Russian tanks is that the ammunition is fed into the auto-loader from a circular carousel running along the turret ring. I notice the Armata does not have the trademark circular turret. This might mean the ammunition is stored in a different configuration.
T14 ammo is in the back of the turret with a blow out compartment. Their engine sucks and does not work, it is too small to fit other better engines and their protection suit is 1980 level. T14 with a working engine wouldnt beat a Javelin for example. Another aspect is if all the proclaimed features actually work. I mean, look at some internal T14 propaganda videos. Look at their displays and such. ipad level touch screens and 70s era aspects in a 2020 era tank. Something does not vibe correctly. Do their targeting system or chip internals even actually work.
@@Lobos222All wars against Russia begins with ideas about "stupid" russians.
На этой войне не нужна Армата, на этой войне нужны Т72/90 притом много. Война на истощение это работа простыми инструментами.
ага для парадов самое то....
@@muratilyassov9155 Дешевый популизм.. как на базаре.
Because until there is anti drone tech to a very competent level ALL tanks are obsolete.
Every boggy on the tank should be an electric wheel. This way even though the track is taken out it could possibly still be mobile avoiding a second shot
В этом танке есть такие фишки от которых вам станет страшно , в радиусе 500 метром оно умеет глушить абсолютно все 😎 выживаемость экипажа в случае поражения танка 100%!
Reine russische Propaganda. Die Optiken kamen sogar aus Frankreich.
Technology marvel my ass 😂😂😂😂
its Surovikins (Vagners buddy) photo
I guess they are just taking the time to tweek it with data gained from this war. I don't see any reason to rush development since they now have the occasion to upgrade it to real war scenarios situations.
Just like the Abrams I'm still waiting to see it on the battlefield
The Abrams have been seen in Ukraine and have a ton of history of battlefield performance including actual tank battles in Iraq during the 1991 Operation: Desert Storm where they absolutely wiped the floor with the ruzzian T72's.
Abrams started fighting yesterday...the Armarta is a long way off
they can't build many armed t14s because it hasn't officially entered the russian armed forces yet. thanks to this war they will be able to make improvements thanks to their combat experience and therefore improve it. the Russian army does not have war experience like the Americans, having always been at war. Russia is delivering and producing new su34 su35 and su57 despite sanctions.
А какой такой военный опыт имеют американцы ? Ты наверное фильмов пересмотрел или видеоигр. С кем воевали США с талибами на ишаках в Афганистане или игилом на шахид машинах в Ираке . Всегда только со слабым и не технологичным противником .
You all are criticizing Russia for its T-14 armata, but what about challengers, leopards and M1A1 Abrahams that are burning like hell, destroyed by just cheap fpv drones, prooves that threse tanks are scraps too
They could be redesigning it to deal with the threat of drones before putting it into production. Drones are a radical new threat that both sides are adapting to. New tanks will need to have effective defenses against them. Those are still being developed. It is also possible that it is more cost effective to produce the T-90M. In the past, the Russians have gone with a mix of expensive tanks and cheaper tanks. Maybe they will produce both tanks once some final changes are made to the T-14. All this is highly classified so we have no access to Russian thinking or the real test data for the T-14.
The t14 while parading on red Square actually broke down and had to be towed away several years ago?
One mistake is couldn't be compared with a victory. T72 of all modes take over very well all tasks on the battlefield and also OK at the present moment. T14 expensive tank. But in case of war between US and Russia they will use T14, cause T14 is absolutely special machine and dominating on the battlefield.
parking break was pulled. it didnt break. but ok stay stupid if you want
@@jebise1126 So they sent untrained drivers on a parade? Sounds pretty stupid too
aramata platform is about surviving the crew, not the tank.
They only made 100 or less.. Those numbers aren't going to do shit... 🤣
Less then 40. The first 20 were prototype builds. The next 20 were to be field test, machines, and they did not finish building them. None built for combat units yet.
T14 has been used not directly in the front line still undergoing technical trials. T80 and T90 both superior to any Western Tank are being produced by the hundreds or upgraded. There is no immediate need for the T14 Ukraine is on its knees and not far off unconditional surrender.
But not against anti tank missiles as its been proven
Ukrainians say they are winning send them a check
t-80 and t-90 superior to western tanks? what the hell are u smoking. they are fking garbage.
Lol hundreds? Then why are they only seen in 1s 2s or 3s at a time on the field?
@@landyandy7 News flash nothing is indestructible with enough explosives. Crew compartment is close to 1 Meter + thickness.
According to the british intelligence...the same intelligence who told us that russians fighting with shovels only..
same question as to why usa still uses f18 super-hornet instead of their f35 and f22 for current missions and strikes. then you will know the answer.
Don’t need the other models just enough to NAto models
When an M2 Bradley can take out a T-90 with it's chain gun, you definitely dont want to show how utterly useless your newest tank is on the battlefield
Dumb take. Sub 80iq goat herders with a $500 RPG can take out an Abraham’s. Does that mean it’s useless?
It's always the same with the Russian wonder weapons, the tanks drive, the stealth jets fly and the super missiles fly and everything is now going into mass production. Top performance is only possible with top technology and appropriately installed components. There is a lack of these everywhere in Russia. All these miracle weapons are workshop products and far removed from series production, which places completely different demands on the processes. As someone has already written, they are propane weapons.
tank got premium stealth mode even russian can't find them
Excellent explanation!
Simple;they don't have the Electronics to replace what has been destroyed
At the beginning of the "Special Operation" the Russian had ~14,500 tanks. You NEVER use your newest tanks. You use your oldest tanks first, otherwise they're good for scrapping, and that's money that flows out the window.
This is also what you do if you have food reserves. You always eat the older one so you don't have to throw it away.
Got a professional war analyst here folks.
Shocked they haven't called and begged you to come help with all your expert knowledge.
Seriously, haha 😄
Lol, thats not how stuff works.
Are you serious? I'm pretty sure every military in the world uses their best forces and equipment to spearhead such an operation. The russians actually did that as well, but their best forces were incapacitated within the first two weeks of the attack.
@@Kaesemesser0815 ye thats how it is, thats why so many spetnaz forces , helicopters, and shit got destroyed during the first 2weeks
Errrmm. Sergey Lipova, whoever he is, is show as Sergey Surovikin on the photo.
