Russia is keeping its newest weapons out of Ukraine, likely fearing a combat loss would ruin their reputation

• Western intelligence says its almost certain that Russia's new T-14 tank isn't fighting in Ukraine.
• It says Moscow is likely trying to avoid the "reputational damage" of losing one in battle.
• It's a story similar to that of another much-touted Russian asset — the Su-57 fifth-gen fighter jet.

Russia has touted the new T-14 Armata as a highly advanced and formidable tank for dominating the modern battlefield, yet there has been no evidence it has seen action in Ukraine, or that it has even been deployed there for that matter.
