Two months after that announcement about the deployment of the Armata, published by the official Russian agency RIA Novosti on 25 April , the advanced tank still does not appear from the front. In a war with unprecedented dissemination of events through social networks, neither Russian nor Ukrainian sources have shown images of the T-14 in action . The only thing that came out on April 25th were brief images of various T- 14 moving along a dirt road, but without any evidence that they were filmed in Ukraine . It is possible that they were taken during maneuvers.

While we still don't see the T-14 in action, Russia continues to send obsolete tanks from the 1950s to the front lines. This Thursday, the War Zone channel posted a video and a series of photos of T-55 tanks in Crimea, a region of Ukraine illegally occupied by Russia since 2014. The pictures show those old tanks being sent by train to the front, en route to Zaporizhzhia.

It is revealing that we do not have images of the T-14 Armata and we do have images of these old tanks, whose usefulness in modern warfare is rather questionable.
