On short notice:

Even before the war started there were "rumors" that production of the following was quietly going to be moved outside of Ukraine. Those rumors have in the past year started to gain more traction.

Also, before the war I had posted that the USA had bought 3 units of this tank for test and evaluation purposes.

There were doubters and it took a little time to convince the "Boss" but he (And others. ) know I'm a "deep miner" in my searches of reliable and verifiable references.

We built it, I noticed in game play against its peers it wasn't performing as it should've, so I asked for volunteers to test it against the T-72BM (B3/4 initially.) and I think we might've done the same against the T-90. A very strong handful of players stepped up (THANK YOU ALL AGAIN!!) The data was analyzed and presented to Don, and we made better from the testing and data as in the game now. That process is in this thread, and some might find it interesting to look at.

The problem was where was the tank since the war began? The best I was able to find out was it possibly was being used for the defense of the capital.

Well, I know where it is now, also it looks like at the turret has been modified especially in how the gun is mounted to it, but I don't like the angle of the picture as shown in the article to make the "hard call" on that at this time.
