The embarrassing revelation was revealed by the Department of Defense who claimed on Wednesday that the Armata Main Battle Tank will not be deployed in Ukraine.

In response to the tweet, former said British army Colonel Hamish de Bretton-Gordon said the reason behind the tank’s dismissal was that it was essentially “nonsense”.

The chemical weapons expert likened the T-14 to “a 1940s Conqueror” – a notoriously unreliable British tank.

Yet the T-14 Armata is said to have the ability to reduce cities to rubble “in minutes”, reports claim.

Thanks to an unmanned turret equipped with a powerful cannon with a range of eight miles, it is considered one of the deadliest vehicles on the battlefield.

The Russians also claim that the device has a special stealth coating to make it invisible to enemy radar.

In addition, UV detectors immediately warn of incoming fire, while a 125mm smoothbore gun fires at a rate of 100 rounds per minute.

It also features a fully autonomous turret that can rotate 360 degrees at high speed to beat back threats in any direction.

In addition, the tanks are equipped with slat armor that provides protection against high-precision anti-tank weapons and close-combat weapons, such as portable anti-tank grenade launchers.

Dramatic moment Putin’s £1million T-72 tank is blown to smithereens by a Ukrainian suicide drone

But despite the fact that it is supposedly so deployed on the front line since April 2023 Ahead of an expected outburst from Kyiv’s forces, Ukraine has walked back such comments, saying it has not seen any T-14s in action.

Perhaps it’s no surprise that Putin has withdrawn the multi-million pound weapon, given the blow already taken by Russia’s arsenal of heavy armor.

The Russian president previously boasted that the T-90 was the “best tank in the world,” but Ukraine has managed to destroy these systems with small drones and armored vehicles.

In October, the second of the millions of tanks was captured on images was completely destroyed by an anti-tank mine.

The dramatic video was captured during an operation near the Lyman region, when a Russian T-90 tank targeted Ukrainian forces.

Before the war, Russia was supposed to have a hundred of these tanks, but at least two were destroyed.

Back in 2022, The Ukrainian Ministry of Defense has released images of the burned out casing of the same tank, with a large hole through the vehicle’s tracks and curved armor plates.

At the time, Ukraine claimed that “the pride of the Russian tank industry” had been destroyed by a Swedish-made Carl Gustaf recoilless rifle rocket launcher costing a relatively modest £18,500.

It is believed that this has been the case since the beginning of the war Putin has lost almost all his tanks when he began his brutal invasion of Ukraine almost two years ago.

Figures estimate that the tyrant has lost almost 3,000 armored vehicles since the start of the war.
