Russian troops in Ukraine were reluctant to accept main battle tanks in Ukraine because they were in such poor condition, the Ministry of Defence has said.
In an intelligence update on Twitter, the MOD said Russia worked to "Prepare a small number of T-14 Armata main battle tanks for the type's first operational deployment in Ukraine".
"However, in recent months, deployed Russian forces were reluctant to accept the first tranche of T-14 allocated to them because the vehicles were in such poor condition," the update said.
