Well, it seems that talk of Russia putting into combat their
T-14 (And having that number of them.) is continuing to come out of Russia from various sources. They want to fight specifically the
LEOPARD 2A6 tanks that the Ukraine will receive making it a
1:1 ratio in tanks on tanks.
Who will win?
With German crews I'd say the
LEOPARD 2A6.
Considering the
T-14 will be manned by the crews that have been operating them for about
~2yrs. now during its extended "
OPEVAL" against "
fast tracked" Ukrainian crews (Who are probably combat crews of this war.) and it being the
LEOPARD 2A6
(I recommended one in a post.) (
Latest current versions in operation are being converted to the
2A7.), I would have to give a
slight edge to the Ukrainian crews.
This is based further upon an article I posted in here within the last 10 days or so where the Russian crews were having issues with the
T-14 and basically provided feedback and I'll be nice and just say the tank
wasn't ready for combat.
OF COURSE THIS IS ALL JUST A MATTER OF SUPPOSITION AND SPECULATION, how's that for
CYA!?!

(NOTE: The LEOPARD 2A6 has NEVER been used in combat either.)
What is of much more interest to me is the following.
Off the top of my head, it looks like, and I can't remember the name of the tank now, that it's built upon the same
T-72 extended chassis as the other was we discussed with
Marcello a few years back.
However, I end both with this quote from the next ref.
"
As for the Russian T-14 Armata MBT, the new North Korean seems like a very modern and technologically advanced combat vehicle
but there is no evidence that the tank is fully functional and ready for deployment in combat. " That goes for
BOTH tanks.
