Russia's T-14 Armata “super tank” faces a ton of problems

The future of Russia's T-14 Armata tank remains in question. Despite the Russians' claims of improved protection, firepower, and maneuverability, it faces Russian manufacturing limitations, writes columnist and analyst Isaac Seitz in an article on 19FortyFive.
"The fate of the Armata will most likely be decided after the end of the war in Ukraine. If the T-14 enters service, it will become the most significant tank in Russian history. However, it is still unknown whether it will enter service in full," the publication says.
According to the author, of all the weapons systems used by the Russian army, none is as controversial as the T-14 "Armata" - the Russians keep information about the tank a closely guarded secret, so it is difficult to say whether the new "super tank" lives up to its reputation.
More specifically, it is clear that the T-14 Armata has suffered significant production delays and cost overruns, the article notes:
"The tank's high cost, estimated at $5 million to $7.1 million per unit, has limited its production and deployment. International sanctions and other production issues have also limited Russia's access to critical components needed to produce the T-14. These supply chain issues have further delayed the tank's deployment and raised questions about its long-term viability."
For one reason or another, deliveries of the T-14 were constantly delayed. It is currently unknown how many working T-14s are currently in service with the Russian army, but it is estimated that only 10-20 tanks are in service, Isaac Seitz added.
At the same time, the observer recalled how on March 4, 2024, Rostec CEO Sergei Chemezov stated that the T-14 had entered service with the Russian army, but would not participate in the fighting in Ukraine.
"While choosing cheaper options during active combat is somewhat understandable, the question arises: what is the point? Why invest in a tank that will not even participate in combat? I interpret his comments to mean that production has not reached the level where the T-14 can be produced in large enough quantities," the author emphasized.
According to the Russians, these tanks have an unmanned turret, which increases the survivability of the crew. In addition, the tank is allegedly equipped with improved composite armor and reactive armor.
It was also reported that the T-14 is enhanced with the Afghanit active protection system, designed to detect and neutralize incoming threats such as anti-tank guided missiles (ATGMs) and rocket-propelled grenades (RPGs).
It was also claimed that the T-14 is equipped with a 1,500 horsepower diesel engine. The tank can supposedly reach speeds of up to 75-80 km/h and has a range of about 500 kilometers on one tank of fuel.
Let us recall that earlier the Main Intelligence Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of Ukraine reported that Russia has produced only about 20 T-14 Armata tanks over the years .

The T-14 is no where to be seen on the battlefield. They’d rather pull T-54s outta the museum for combat duty than embarrass themselves with the T-14

[@pax2758]

Russian logic: The T-54 is forty iterations better than the T-14.

[@garyfilmer382]

The orcs have found the answer - the Armata t-14 will be towed into battle by mules! Lol!😂

Who said the Russians lacked innovation skills.?

[@nicholasconnolly2227]

No they will not. The russian special elite forces can't spare the men.

[@stannmann8109]

Still, one hit to the gun barrel with fpv and it becomes a tractor..

I thought tractors were useful

[@donaldraver]

The US Army Experimented with the M1 TTB back in the late 80's with the same layout

[@oveidasinclair982]

T-14 is over rated JUNK, nothing to fear.

[@wudruffwildcard252]

They couldn't even build this thing when they had access to Western Electronics.

[@MaryMantous]

It's called T14 because only 14 were built🦀

[@martinharvey9039]

Why is it not call "Trabant"?

[@B.L-e6y]

That's an unfair comparison, you could get the Tarbant running again with a pair of tights and it went faster too.😁

Trade Mark infringement .

[@garyfilmer382]

Slava Ukraini!🇺🇦🔱

[@janbezziemi4162]

Looks like another piece of russian scrap metal!!!! Slava Ukraini!!!

[@jerichomilesalvarez9445]

Good things for the Ukrainians that the Russian super tank is not invincible

[@josedonizete6043]

Slava Ucrânia 🇺🇦 aço nos orcs russos vitória de Deus e do povo ucranianos. ❤

[@derrick1989]

They know what will happen to this tank If they send it to Ukraine

[@kenjohnson8751]

T-14 needs a better name. I hereby dub thee "Abramski"

[@simhopp]

a lot of people mistakenly think ~ski is Russian surname. it is actually Polish surname. Russian surname is more like ~ov. or ~ova for female. so Abramov is more of Russian. ~vich is also Polish in origin. as in ~witz.

[@DarkCriimes]

@@simhoppthank you. I didn’t know that. Love to Poland 🇵🇱 from the UK 🇬🇧 Slava Ukraini ! Heroyam slava ! 🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦👊🏼

[@charlesuri2830]

[@endomozart6927]

Armor era is over!

[@peterphuong4777]

Đem Cua đi Nướng hả? Hay loại Bơm hơi?

[@chill7851]

The prank oops I mean tank that never was 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

[@chevyyyyyyy]

While the Abrams costs 5-24 million.

[@CA-xk9zz]

😳😳😳bien jolie mais face aux Drôme par dizaine 😢😢😢

[@felixcat9318]

Its greatest problem is that if it ever goes up against Ukrainian Defenders, it has a life expectancy in low, single figure minutes...

[@StephenGlencross-yg4nt]

It must be very good tank cos they don't use it because its very very expensive tank .

[@stevenkerry3101]

if it was put into the battlefield it would prove to be as bad as the rest of the Russian tanks bla bla bla

[@Leptospirosi]

When you send your soldiers at war with T-54 with a barn welded on, because your Super Tanks are too good to get scratched... ...because your soldiers are more expendable then your tanks and you have to keep them for future fancy parades. Then you realize that showing off fancy tanks at that parade when your soldiers are riding 50YO pieces of craps, is not that good looking and you keep the Armata in air conditioned shelters so that they don't rust. Something in this T14 design has to be so deeply flawed that Russians realize it will never be able to be a functional war machine, a bit like the F-22 in its times, good for showing off, but absolutely useless in a real war, and yet too much a waste of money to admit the debacle to tax payers. "War machines" only good at public shows to brag on, until they get replaced by something else, never having seen actual use. Su57, LCS, Zumwalt are other notable examples of this terrible breaking bad with technology by corrupted bureaucrats.

[@olifs8083]

They are afraid Abdrams from 80''s can eliminate this thing and make look russian army even bigger joke

[@E_samuel]

I feel for Russian revolution now Chinese are smiling at them in Chinese platforms 😢😢😢

[@OpasRang]

😮😮😮

[@shockwave6473]

if ppl and silly woman's trolls are looking for a technical facts based cmnt.its here.the krauts studied the other krauts tiger tank.which was never done with spying on ofcourse.all EU baltic nations share similarities,in technology.but the most advanced can only be found in moscow.hence,its indeed a super tank,that can easily decimate the leopard's armour for example
