Well, howdy there internet people? Let's bow again. So today we are going to talk about the T14 and

numbers and

how things look on paper versus real life and a whole bunch of things because in a recent video I mentioned

the idea that Russia really didn't have anything that could that could compete with the modern equipment that might be headed to Ukraine from the West.

Can't compete with the Challenger, the Abrams, the Leopard. They don't have

tanks that can compete with these vehicles. My inbox filled up with people asking about the T14. My favorite was this will not stand. This is T14 erasure. I mean it is. T14 Erasure but I didn't erase it. The Russians did.

On paper this tank is amazing.

It is amazing.

It can compete, it can outperform Western tanks

in a lot of ways.

The problem is if you want to use it in Ukraine, you have to build it and filled it.

Two things the Russian military has not done.

In 2020, the Russian Army was supposed to take possession of 2,300 of these monsters.

Currently, estimates suggest numbers in the low tens. That

number, the 2,300, that got pushed back.

Supposed to be delivered by 2025.

That's not going to happen either.

Last thing I saw says that they were hoping to produce 40 through the year of 2023. I don't think

they're going to make that goal either if they even still maintain it. So they don't have the numbers. They don't have enough to

make a difference. But let's pretend they do. Let's say that they do. They built them in secret. They have them in a

hollowed out mountain somewhere and they're just sitting there. They've been

waiting to put them in for whatever reason.
