In December 2020, Russian Defense Minister Alexei Krivoruchko has announced the serial production of the T-14 Armata main battle tank. In April 2020, the Russian MoD has announced that the T-14 Armata was used in field conditions in a Middle Eastern country. The Russian government has revealed that its new T-14 Armata main battle tank was shipped to Syria. Russian Ministry of Defense has announced in December 2018 that state trials of T-14 Armata MBT will start in 2019. At present, the regiment is armed with T-72B3. In August 2018, deputy commander-in-chief of the Russian Land Forces, Lieutenant-General Viktor Lizvinsky has announced that Russia’s newest T-14 main battle tank and its electronics will undergo trials in various climatic conditions, including the Arctic climate. That will happen after 2020 when the new tank passes government acceptance tests and becomes operational. The first T-14 MBTs on the basis of heavy tracked unified Armata platform will be delivered to the 1st guard's tank regiment of the Taman division. According to The Russian Main Command of the Ground Forces, the 1st tank regiment of the Taman division will be the first unit to be rearmed with new-generation Armata T-14. The first deliveries of the tank to the Russian Armed Forces were started in 2015. According to the Russian Defense Ministry, the first field test of the new MBT T-14 Armata was performed in 2014. The T-14 Armata was unveiled for the first time to the public during the military parade in Moscow for Victory Day, on May 9, 2015. Russian experts believe that the appearance of the remotely controlled gun would eventually lead to the development of a fully robotic tank that could be deployed as part of a spearhead in the offensive. The Armata is fitted with a new unmanned remote weapon station turret. The Armata will have more firepower than the latest generation of main battle tank T-90. The first reports indicate that the new Armata could be based on the Russian main battle tank T-95 Object 195 and the project tank "Black Eagle" which was presented to the public at the Omsk defense exhibition in 1999. The development of the T-14 Armata was launched in 2013, followed by the delivery of the first prototype in 2015. The T-14 Armata is a Main Battle Tank (MBT) designed by the Russian Defense Company Uralvagonzavod.
