russia has confirmed the deployment of its new Armata main battle tanks, but will not send them to Ukraine due to fears of reputational damage from potential losses and their limited numbers.
British intelligence has confirmed that russian troops have received an Armata tank, but the tank will not be sent to Ukraine due to fears of reputational damage from losses and their limited number. This is stated in the intelligence report, UNN reports.
Details
It has been confirmed that the Armata main battle tank has entered service with the russian military, but will not be deployed in Ukraine. This is very likely due to the high costs and potential reputational damage from the loss of a "prestigious" vehicle in combat
The intelligence agency notes that the russian defense industry claims that it is too expensive to produce new Armata tanks.
Since the beginning of the invasion, Ukraine has destroyed 2,600 russian tanks, so the intelligence community also emphasizes that russia will not send Armata tanks to the front because of the effectiveness of Ukrainian equipment and tactics and the vulnerability of the russian tank fleet.
Recall
The Russian military leadership refused to send its new generation Armata tanks to the frontline in Ukraine because of fears of reputational damage from their losses and insufficient numbers.
