Russia's T-14 Armata tanks make debut in Ukraine, but not in direct combat

Russian state media reported that the T-14 Armata tanks have arrived in Ukraine, but they have yet to participate in direct assault operations. The tanks have been plagued by setbacks in recent months, and their deployment in Ukraine would be a high-risk decision. However, the tanks could offer Russia a powerful advantage if they ever join the fray, as they are equipped with defense systems that can shoot down anti-tank rockets. The deployment of the tanks is seen as more of a propaganda move than a military one.
