The official made a short statement, confirming the information that, that Russian tanks of the new generation were indeed in Syria.
Denis Manturov:
Yes, they were in Syria. The tanks were sent to this country in order to take into account all the nuances of their use in combat conditions..
According to the minister of the Russian government, such tests and tests in combat conditions will ultimately contribute to the formation of the final appearance of these combat vehicles.
Manturov also announced the timing of the start of serial deliveries of T-14 "Armata" tanks to the country's Armed Forces.. Federal Cabinet official said, that the start of serial deliveries of new generation tanks to the RF Armed Forces is scheduled for 2021 year.
About, Under what specific circumstances were these tanks used in Syria?, the minister does not inform.
Recall, that the T-14 "Armata" is the only tank in the world, related by its design to a new generation of armored vehicles.
It is important to note, that earlier the country's Ministry of Defense did not report on the tests of the T-14 outside Russia. As it appears, “yawned” these tests and foreign partners.
