Russia claimed yesterday that they have used T-14 Armata tanks in Ukraine. This claim was commented on by the former commander of the Finnish army, General Jarmo Lindberg.
According to him: "It is Russia's new generation battle tank, which was introduced a few years ago (in 2015) in perhaps a slightly embarrassing manner during the Victory Day parade on Red Square. It broke down there and had to be towed away. Apparently, some of them have now made it to the front lines under their own power."
When asked if it's truly a super tank as Russians have claimed, he responded: "Well, super and super. Maybe by Russian standards, it is."
Clearly, the general did not consider the Russian tank anything special and certainly not on par with modern Western tanks.
