M1 Abrams vs. T-14 Armata How Do They Compare

The M1 Abrams, the US Army's flagship tank, boasts unmatched power, despite a design rooted in a nearly 50-year-old legacy.

Enter Russia's latest, the T-14—a potential challenger hailed as the "Abrams Killer." This radical departure from tradition features a crew-protecting, sealed-off compartment in lieu of a manned turret.

In this video, our military experts explore the T-14's unique features and see if it has what it takes to dethrone the Abrams.

The M-1 tanks’ chief advantage over the Armata: they’re in production, with regular maintenance, and have fully trained crews.

[thoso]

One has been produced for decades in huge numbers and has actual battle performance on its resume; the other is a parade vehicle.

[gooffin]

Abrams has been around for decades with great succes. Unfortunately T-14 has so good cloaking device, that no one has seen it on battlefield

[TheQuyman]

I don't know it feels really hard for the Abrams to win this matchup because it's really hard to hit what doesn't exist

[CopperBased]

The T14 Trophy Wife. Extremely expensive, rarely works, but when it's all primped and pampered it looks great on parade.

[MrAdamArce]

Before the video starts, my first thought to this would be that the biggest advantage the Abrams has over the T-14 is actually existing, lol.

[Bfizzle]

Every single strong point for the T-14 should come with a huge asterisk since NONE of it has been proven in the field and these are claims by the same military who stated they destroyed more Ukrainian aircraft than the entire Ukr airforce has in its inventory.

The T-14s stealth technology is so advance that not even it’s crew can find it.

[The.Great.And.Powerful.Trixie]

Abrams stands no chance against russian T-14 Armata with its special cloaking device. After all, you cannot shoot the enemy you cannot see. Actually its so good that noone has seen T-14 apart from military parades

[scheisseundbenzin]

The tank designed and produced in Germany after leaving the MBT-70 program was NOT the Leopard 1, but it's successor, the Leopard 2.

[sporluck]

The Abrams has the fact it exists, in numbers and people trained on it should be the biggest factor.

[philiponeill]

As we've learned over the last 2 years, Russia's greatest military strength is hype in order to make more overseas sales. It looks like the T-14 is about as effective on the battlefield as the Su-57; both so effective that Russia doesn't dare actually put them on the battlefield.

[Riptide]

The only thing more overzealous then the Armata brakes is it's emergency ejection system. When the tank is hit it will launch the turret up and away allowing the crew to more easily escape! The designers are just having a difficult time adjusting the amount of explosives needed, so like it's older siblings the system makes a kaboom that is a tad bit superfluous to the need.

[ooo_Kim_Chi_ooo]

All 10 T14s in the 1st Parade Squad. All of the specs from the T14 are "trust me bro" specs.

[McNubbys]

Russia added such advanced stealth technologies to the T-14, that it has never been seen on the battlefield lol🤣

[davidm]

Lets put it this way - the M1 Abrams is fifty years old - in service....in fifty years time, will ANY T-14s have actually entered service?

[unwanted_zombie]

I loved growing up near Fort Hood and getting to see these. My reason as a kid for liking the M1 over any other tank on the planet was "... well look at it. It looks freaking cool"

[Don-Coyote-De-Transylvania]

This is almost like comparing M4 with Legolas bow.

[joeh]

I heard the t14 can teleport, it doesn't need much fuel, it's equipped with Ricks portal gun. Like everyone one else is saying it's invisible too, it's good they can take a t72, put a fiberglass body over it and rename it, make up a bunch of crap about it, boom, best tank ever, the t14. Doesn't there invisible stealth fighter hover around it to help it out?

[arcturionblade]

The Abrams is the battlefield king while the T-14 is a garage queen, lol.
