The Russian T-14 Armata: Built to Beat NATO… Almost

Russia’s T-14 Armata was unveiled with great fanfare in 2015, promising to revolutionize tank warfare with its unmanned turret, advanced armor, and digital battlefield systems. Built to leap beyond decades of Soviet tank doctrine, the Armata seemed poised to challenge NATO’s most advanced armor. But nearly a decade later, it has yet to enter full-scale service.

In this in-depth video, we explore the T-14’s origin story — from Cold War prototypes and post-Soviet engine development to its cutting-edge design and the roadblocks that continue to delay it. You'll learn how sanctions, outdated tech, unreliable engines, and the rise of drone warfare have transformed the T-14 from a potential game-changer into a cautionary tale.

Is the Armata still the future of Russian armored warfare — or a symbol of military ambition unmet?
