The military is asking to send Armata tanks to the front. The Ministry of Defense says directly: they simply don’t exist.

Once again the military started talking about the need to replenish the fleet of equipment with new models. In particular, we are talking about sending Armata tanks to the front.

We have repeatedly said that these newest tanks are not only not sent to the Northern Military District zone, but also exist in very limited quantities.

Not long ago, the head of Rostec, Chemezov, explained the absence of tanks on the battlefield by their high cost. This is an expensive tank, but if we wanted, we would, of course, send it to the front and defeat everyone.

To understand, since the beginning of this year, not a single T-14 Armata tank has been taken into the army’s balance sheet. What does it mean?

The tank turned out to be good for the parade, but they simply don’t give it to the military. And now the military is increasingly raising the question of why such a tank is needed in principle.

The General Staff responds that due to the saturation of the battle line with kamikaze drones, the effectiveness of such heavy tanks is low.

Then the question is: why did we spend colossal amounts of money on the production of Armata, if the equipment does not go to the troops, and will not go? What should guys fight with? Or is it easier to send them into battle without armor?

Much hay is made when an abrams or leopard is lost, but little is made when almost daily t-90s are lost, but losing a T-14 on the front would be news

Don’t think you will see any of them anywhere near the front till after the war is over and then you will see them everywhere in propaganda films.

“The glorious T-14 won the war…..”
