The T-14 "Armata" tank has unique capabilities due to its effective dynamic protection system. It allows solving the tasks of defeating the enemy, noted military expert Konstantin Sivkov.
However, as of 2025, "Armatas" have not appeared in the troops as a replacement for the past generation of combat vehicles T-72, T-80, and T-90. The publication "Technosphere Russia" suggested that in the current environment, rearming the army with a new tank model is, at a minimum, impractical.
According to the authors, in the current environment of increasing the production of past generation tanks, small-scale production of the T-14 will only add problems for the military and the manufacturers themselves.
How many T-14s have been produced is officially unknown. But the publication suggested that there are no more than 50 units, as well as several heavy BMPT T-15s based on them and a single number of T-16 repair and evacuation vehicles on the same platform.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that the flagship of the Navy, the cruiser "Admiral Kuznetsov," may be scrapped.
