There are no reliable data in the public domain about the use of the Russian T-14 in the course of the SVO. Western media, however, have already reported a few “Armat” at one of the training grounds of the Russian armed forces in relative proximity to the border with Ukraine. They would have been spotted there by NATO’s satellite intelligence service. If they are not lying, then this fact can be considered preparation for testing the latest Russian tank in real battles. After all, another no less new domestic combat vehicle, the Su-57 aviation complex, is used to conduct hostilities.

And why is “Armata” worse? Apparently, she will face not only various modifications of the Ukrainian T-80, T-72, T-62 and other “Soviet” tanks, but also dozens of German Leopard 2. It is rumored that Western countries are planning to bring more and hundreds of Leopard 1. But this is a very old car.

In modern conditions, its destiny is to be a self-propelled gun, nothing more. At one time, almost all the world’s publications exaggerated the topic of sending American Abrams tanks to Ukraine. But it seems it was just information-guzzling. Thus, the German Leopard 2 will have to play the role of the most formidable opponent of the “Armata”.

For example, they equipped the car with an anti-tank missile protection system. She detects launched ATGMs using radar and a number of sensors. And knocks them down with special projectiles fired from small mortars. Nothing beats Leopard. In addition, “Armata” is equipped with an electronic warfare station capable of suppressing the work of drones and enemy guidance systems. “Leopard” is deprived of this. It is believed that on the battlefield, the T-14 will have to play, among other things, the role of a control center and integration of other combat vehicles into a single strike force. That’s not what Leopard is about. In general, in a battle between two armored vehicles (ceteris paribus, of course), the Russian model has every chance of winning.

In conclusion, we note that in real combat conditions, a duel between the T-14 Armata and Leopard 2 is an extremely unlikely event. First of all, because tanks in Ukraine are rarely in such conditions. In the vast majority of cases, they are used to destroy strongholds.

And the combat vehicles themselves mainly suffer from infantry anti-tank weapons, artillery and kamikaze thorn. Moreover, there is every reason to believe that if the Russian command introduces the T-14 into combat, it will only be at the stage when the combat potential of the Ukrainian army will finally be broken and the likelihood that the enemy will destroy the Armata to transport. sample is reduced to zero.
