According to reports, Russia is unfazed and prepared to fight in the midst of the US and NATO providing Ukraine with huge military equipment, including main battle tanks. additionally, Russia has sent T-14 Armata tanks that are prepared for their first use in front-line battle.
For their present conflict with Ukraine, the Russian armed forces use T-72, T-80, and T-90M Proryv tanks. If Ukraine keeps asking its partners for tank support, the new T-14 Armata is utilized in the event of a combat scenario.
The most recent development is the readiness for shipment of Russian T-14 Armata tanks to Ukraine. As of right now, the UK with Challenger 2, Germany and Poland with Leopard 2, and the UK with Poland have all successfully delivered their MBTs. Additionally, the US is prepared to send M1 Abrams to Ukraine.
The Russian company Uralvagonzavod (UVZ) designed the T-14 Armata, a new generation Main Battle Tank (MBT), which was originally revealed in May 2015 during the Moscow Victory Day parade. The tank is 10.8 meters in length, 3.5 meters in width, and 3.3 meters in height. It weighs 48 tons.
The crew's armored capsule is part of the design. The T-14 Armata has an extremely robust modular armor system on its hull. It also has smoke grenade launchers, fire suppression systems, nuclear, biological, and chemical (NBC) protection, and an Afghanit system that can survive anti-tank, rocket, and RPG attacks.
The Russian tank is propelled by a 1,200 horsepower A-85-3A turbocharged diesel engine. With this support, the T-14 Armata may go up to 500 kilometers at a maximum speed of 90 km/h.
a 125mm 2A82-1M smoothbore cannon with an automated louder is introduced in the armaments department. This weapon's ability to shoot laser-controlled rounds is one of its advantages. Furthermore, there are auxiliary secondary weapons like the 7.62mm PKTM and the 12.7mm Kord-type machine gun.
It is anticipated that 300 NATO combat tanks will arrive in Ukraine, and if they align with Russian T-72, T-80, and T-90 tanks, the result will be the most catastrophic tank engagement of the century. Tanks from both Russia and the West will prove their mettle in the conflict in Ukraine.
