Exorbitant.

This is coolbert: 

“In terms of its functionality, it certainly surpasses existing tanks, but it’s too expensive, so the army is unlikely to use it now. It’s easier for them to buy the same T-90s,” - Chemezov.

Russian T-14 Armata tank gone. Kaput and never coming back.

"Russia abandons Armata tank due to its high cost"

From Defense Blog ^ | 3/4/2024 | Dylan Malyasov. The tip from Freeper.

"The head of the Russian defense conglomerate Rostec, Sergey Chemezov, confirmed that the state-of-the-art Russian tank, the T-14 'Armata,' is not being deployed in the war in Ukraine, which the Kremlin has labeled a “special military operation.”

"Chemezov attributed this decision to the tank’s exorbitant cost, indicating that the military is opting for the more economical T-90 tanks instead. He underscored the prohibitive expense of the Armata as a deterrent to its immediate deployment, stressing the need for funds to develop newer and more cost-effective tank models."

The can-do-it-all unstoppable Russian T-14 tank too EXPENSIVE! Only a LIMITED [small] number can ever be built and deployed to combat.

"Armata – the story is over"

From https://wavellroom.com | by Sergio Miller | February 10, 2023.

Demise of the Russian T-14 tank in the main due to defective and hard-to-service diesel engine? Reliability of the tank in combat, the ability to move and do so in a dependable manner too questionable?
