The 11-year development program for the T-14 Armatas "has been dogged with delays, reduction in planned fleet size, and reports of manufacturing problems," the British Defense Ministry wrote on Twitter on January 19, 2023. Moscow's troops have started using the Armata tanks to fire on Ukrainian positions, a Russian state news agency reported. China, the rest of Asia, and North Africa are other possible destinations for Armata T-14.A Russian T-14 Armata tank participates in a Victory Day Parade night rehearsal on Tverskaya street on in Moscow, Russia. India operates over 900 T-90s already purchased from Russia (India is the biggest buyer of Russian armor, among other weapons). India is marked as the possible first foreign client for the Armata platform and main battle tank T-14 Armata which will supersede the T-90. They are planning to receive more than 500 a year soon, with the eventual order expected to top out at 2,300 units – more than two-thirds of its armor capability. 500 units per yearĪccording to public military sources, the Russians are currently operating with more than 50 prototype models of the T-14 Armata tank. It launches the T-14 Armata in the upper price range for main battle tanks, but still, it remains cheaper than the French AMX Leclerc and US M1A2 Abrams tank and below the price of other same-level vehicles, such as South Korea’s K2 Black Panther and Japan’s Type 10 tanks.
If we look at the Armata price, even though it is not yet in mass production, the T-14 Armata’s cost was estimated at $8 million at current exchange rates per unit. The tank has the latest Chobham armor and is one of today’s most protected MBTs.
