TL;DR

Russia has reportedly deployed its T-14 Armata tanks to fire on Ukrainian positions, though they have not yet participated in direct combat. The T-14s have been fitted with enhanced anti-tank ammunition protection. The British Defense Ministry has previously suggested that Russia was considering deploying a "small number" of the T-14s to Ukraine. Meanwhile, the US has expedited its M1 Abrams timelines to supply Ukraine with more armored capability in the coming months. The T-14s are more sophisticated and capable than older Russian tanks, but they are not seen as "game changers" for the Russians in Ukraine.
