The YouTube video goes back some years and I was wondering if things have improved. Outside of Russian echo Chambers's there's little evidence of real world use and successes. The wiki also reports similar. The silence from the Kremlin on these tanks is deafening.Russia is sending their most modern next generation Tank. T-14 Armata has a unmanned turret and the crew are in the front of the tank in a armored crew capsule. Its also equipped with active protection system, i.e a AESA radar to detect incoming rounds and then uses soft kill( laser,infrared dazler, smoke screen) or hard kill( fires of buck shot type canisters) to defeat the incoming projectile. It also turns the turret to the direction of the threat.
This tank formation is supported by BMPT terminator, this is repurposed T72 tank chassis equipped with twin 30mm gun and ATGMs, basically same firepower as a Attack helicopter. So far only one has been known to be destroyed by artillery. Otherwise this think packs a punch, hard to detect due to low profile and has modern Flir and night vision.
This BMPT terminator was made from the lessons learned from Chechen urban war, where tanks suck due to poor vision, limited mobility and piss poor gun traverse.
Basically every tank nerd is waiting to see how these perform, since this will directly impact the future of AbramsX prototype tank, which was made in response to T14 Armata.
Russia is currently rated 11 in the world by GDP. Half the countries on the list supporting Russia don't make the table and the ones that do are rated 79, 117, 122.Look at the countries that are standing by Vlads genocidal attack! Says enough about that POS!

There are so many variable to that I think it is a mute point. And SHAME ON EUROPE if they allow Putin to win...even holding on to SOME land from this wrong. If he does, I hope the rest of Europe feels this and Putin roles thru them. You CANNOT codify a bully. You CAN bust the bullies nose and knee caps and force them to back off.Western Leaders Privately Admit Ukraine Can't Win The War
