Ukraine: captured examples publicly displayed and evaluated

Battlefield role

Spearhead armour for priority axes — the tank Russia's better-resourced formations receive first, increasingly husbanded as drone attrition reshapes how both sides risk armour.

Strengths

The best optics, fire control and Relikt reactive armour in the Russian fleet; an active production line behind it — unlike the reactivated older types filling out losses elsewhere.

Limitations

Retains the carousel autoloader lineage and its catastrophic-loss mode; documented losses to Bradleys, mines and FPV drones show the modernisation has limits; production is publicly assessed as insufficient to make it the fleet standard rather than the fleet's best.

Visual identification

Rounded turret faced with angular Relikt ERA wedges; large boxy gunner's thermal-sight housing on the turret roof; factory-standard anti-drone roof screens on most vehicles from 2024 onward.

Documented conflict use

In documented combat since 2022 across the front. The January 2024 Stepove engagement against Bradleys is among the war's most circulated armour duels; captured examples have been paraded and studied, and open-source trackers document substantial cumulative losses.
