A thread on this tank from earlier today
I think the Ukrainian MoD has, at least in this case, passed off this Ukrainian tank as a Russian loss. It might be uncomfortable to point it out

1. I’m going to add to what @naalsio26 has said on this topic and why I also think this is not a fake. I’ll eat whatever is left of his hat if it it’s wrong. Firstly, the “transparent” sight is the shadow from the ridge on the housing design

2. The point on the headlights, this is not the only example of a single headlight tank being fitted with a second headlight beneath the driver’s view ports. Below is a T-55 example of the same thing
3. The headlights belonging to a T-90M - replacing headlights with that of a different model is nothing unusual, here a T-80U hull has T-80BV headlights.

1/ T-90, Chocolate chip camouflage and a race to save Uralvagonzavod - the 1999 Russian delegation to India Image
2/ by the mid to late 1990s, Uralvagonzavod was in dire straits, its T-90 tank had not been taken up in large enough quantities by the Russian MoD and orders in general has almost entirely dried up.
3/ It got so bad that in June 1995 a test driver, Vasily Tropin, stole a T-72S and drove it through Nizhny Tagil in order to “somehow express his protest against the hopeless poverty of the defense industry” Image

Tanks deployed on British streets - Motorman ‘72

Following Provisional IRA (PIRA) attacks throughout Belfast on 21st July 1972 known as ‘Bloody Friday’ the British government hardened its security strategy in Northern Ireland… Image
This led to the decision to eliminate ‘no-go’ areas that had formed in Belfast and Derry since 1969 and were used as bases for PIRA attacks. The plans put forward were Operation Motorman and Operation Folklore… Image
Westminster opted for Motorman which called for deploying 28,000 troops in NI. This included two battalions equipped with Centurion AVRE tanks with bulldozers to break apart barriers (the tanks had their turrets traversed rearward and their guns covered to appear less menacing) Image

After the T-90M sightings recently and a lot of questions coming out about it I wanted to say this about the T-14 Armata: Image
The T-14 is still not in serial production and is still in trials with the 2nd Guards Motor Rifle Division. We have no idea what the results of these trials have been, but trials are there to find problems and the fact it's still in trials isn't a good sign for the tank.
The tank has only been manufactured in low double digit numbers with perhaps only 20 having been delivered to the Russian Ground Forces. However, there are no set figures and the Russian MoD is quiet about it.
