The Russians are confirming the T-14 was Not in the Ukraine.

We ourselves debunked several videos and posts showing them driving around Ukraine.

Further and as recently posted the Ukraine has NEVER seen anywhere near a battlefield or roaming around the countryside. I seriously think they would've sent in a handful of drones to spot for a precision strike or take it out.

Let us not forget the several articles where the Russian Commanders and tank crews wanted nothing to do with them in the field going back to last year late.

For now, and in my opinion for what it's worth out here feel that T-14 at this point in time is in the same situation as when the T-95 and a couple of others within about an 8-year time span were paraded on May Day (Which is all we're really seeing for T-14 overall.)
and they never got fielded which by the way Russia has never formally announced themselves concerning the T-14.

"...the T-14 has faced production delays and manufacturing issues, making it too expensive for active combat roles."

"-Russian Defense Minister Sergey Chemezov confirmed reliance on the more cost-effective T-90 tanks instead. Initial claims by state media about T-14 deployments were debunked, suggesting the Kremlin lacks confidence in its performance against Ukraine’s Western-supplied anti-tank systems."

"-Consequently, the T-14 Armata is viewed as a failed project, unable to meet operational demands amidst heavy losses and logistical challenges."

"In March, Sergey Chemezov, who leads the Russian defense giant Rostec, confirmed prior Western intelligence assessments and our coverage here at The National Interest that the Russian military hasn’t deployed the T-14 Armata tank in Ukraine. "

This article is 2 hours old.

This situation would obviously affect the T-15 as well since they share a common chassis and the same engine and components.
