As of July 2023, it is uncertain whether Armata tanks have started participating in direct combat. There are several potential reasons for their non-involvement so far. One possibility is that Russia, being aware of the advanced technologies incorporated into its next-generation tank, aims to prevent it from falling into Ukrainian hands in close combat situations. As of now, there have been no open-source reports or documented instances of an Armata tank being destroyed, abandoned, or captured in Ukraine. The introduction or potential engagement of the T-14 Armata raises crucial questions regarding the fleet's size and the effectiveness of its technologies. The exact number of T-14 tanks operated by Russia remains unclear. Even if these main battle tanks are indeed deployed in combat, their quantity may not be significant enough to create a substantial impact. Various news reports suggest that the Kremlin initially placed orders for several thousand T-14 Armatas to be produced several years ago, but the timeline for their arrival appears uncertain and may have been extended beyond 2025. Consequently, determining the exact size of Russia's T-14 force proves challenging.
