The British Ministry of Defense’s daily intelligence report suggested Russia is working on preparing the new T-14 main battle tank for its first deployment in the war against Ukraine. The summary reads: “In recent months, deployed Russian forces have reluctantly accepted the first batch of T-14s allotted to them because the vehicles are in dire condition.
“It’s not clear exactly what aspect of the vehicle caused this reaction, but over the past three years, Russian officials have publicly described problems with the T-14’s engine and thermal imaging system. .”
