This next in NO WAY means the ARMANTA is operational. However, the Russian Correspondent that has made the claim he's seen "some" of them near the front in the Donbas region.

Some can't be many as "across the board" even from Russian sources indicate that Russia has ONLY 20 units still undergoing testing and NOT even at IOC AT THIS POINT IN TIME.

If true, I agree with this article that this can be seen as a further operational test of its capabilities much as has been reported that around 4 units did last year in Syria.

I'm just a little skeptical ONLY because I really don't think Russia would risk the capture of this tank after as we know (Or should know.) at least 2 pristine operational at time of capture T-90M tanks are the hands of the Ukraine and by default NATO (If you don't believe the NATO part, I would suggest you stop drinking the "Kool-Aid" .

It should be remembered the T-90M shares many "SUBSYSTEMS" of the T-14.

The video supplied indicates nothing except that could be anywhere in Eastern Europe.

I don't openly dismiss this off hand. It's NOT operational, it's NOT unusual for a country to OPTEST new military equipment when there's a "convenient" war somewhere, Israel does this ALL THE TIME and this might be news, Germany is about to do the same in sending the Ukraine 18 units of the BOXER 155mm/L52 SPA. The BUNDESWEHR doesn't even have them.

Let's just ALL wait and see what happens here BEFORE, we OURSELVES.
