RUSSIA has deployed its new T-14 Armata ‘robo-tanks’ to the frontline in the Ukraine war ahead of an expected blitz by Kyiv’s forces.

The tank has an unmanned turret which is equipped with a powerful gun that has a five-mile range it's been claimed could reduce cities to rubble "in minutes".

The Russians also claim it has a special stealth coating to make it invisible to enemy radar.

It comes ahead of a widely anticipated Spring counter-offensive by the Ukrainians.

The attack is expected to be a key moment in the Ukraine war and experts believe Ukraine could seek to drive the Russians out of Crimea to free the first chunk of its territory seized by Vladimir Putin.

Talk is cheap.

From what I've read, the T-14 is about as ready as the SU-57.

Nobody ever expects the invisible tanks.

That's a worthless innovation. With modern radars its no big deal to look for the spot where there's no radar return. If that spot is shaped like a tank, blast it.

There's already a technology like that in development that looks for spots in the sky where there's no cell phone signal. Anywhere there's no cell phone signal, there most be some invisible "thing" ... like a stealth aircraft.

BADA-BING, NO MORE STEALTH.

Could be.

Last we heard from US state media, all Russia had left was washing machine-powered shovels.

This has to be the funniest propagada I’ve seen yet from the Russia/Ukraine war.

First - the T-14 has proven to be a mostly vaporware weapon - the last time one appeared in a parade in Moscow, it broke down and had to be towed...

Russia originally promised to build and field some 2200 T-14 Armata tanks by 2020... yet the most recent updates I can find show that the current contract is for 134 before offering to produce for the external market.

The initial production run of 40 tanks is due this year - and right now, most experts believe the best-case is that Russia has in the low-teens of completed tanks. Further - commanders have resisted deployment due to the “poor condition” - aka - the unreliablity of these tanks.

IF these are actually being deployed, it will be for little more than propaganda purposes - and seems rather risky - imagine if Ukraine were to capture one (or more)... the US/West/NATO would have a field day.

As to the “ability to destroy a city”... this would be with the not-yet-produced larger caliber canon - that can launch guided missiles and assumes tactical nuke warheads.

LOL! As if counter-battery fire is not a thing that exists.

Given the leadership that gave us the botched withdrawal from Afghanistan and woke soldiers and recruitment, they’ll probably tell them to shoot everything outside of those “blank spots.”

It’s the anti-gravity time warp black hole rounds it fires that make it a real problem.

But the Thanos and Loki team can handle it.

“it's been claimed could reduce cities to rubble “in minutes”.”

Talk about sensationalism.

There is but one thing that can reduce a city to rubble in minutes. And it will happen if this keeps going.

BTW..the “experts” on here said a couple months ago that Russia had no such thing as the T-14. They also said that Russia did not have the submarine dubbed “The Black Hole” by our Navy.

In the meantime..Bidet and crew claim to be all superior with our depleted and aging military equipment.
Fact is, we cant even defend our own country with the queer military they have formed and the ancient equipment.

Tyranny graffiti on the tanks. We won’t dare fire on them.
