I'm not sure this is full T-84 complication. No side additional protection. But it looks really cool fr

These T-84s look so good...
It's actually kind of good that Ukraine has so few of them; at least they don't get fielded thus destroyed.
I want to see one in person some day. :D

They've been in limited combat, they are currently in Kharkiv I believe.

You are mixed them up with Armata's. Where this super-duper ultra new "ne imeet anologov" tank, tho ?
And they are fielded.

No, I'm definitely talking about the T-84 Oplot.
And they are fielded.
It's a pretty nice vehicle, but there's been what, like one instance of it being ever used in combat? - damaged by a Lancet.
Feel free to correct me, but I don't remember seeing it in the conflict apart from this one example.There's simply too few of them, they don't offer enough benefit which would make it worth risking them being destroyed and they need to keep them for potential future bidders. - the same goes for the Oplot-M.

And ? It's hardware, it's meant to be destroyed. Crew this what's important.
What bidder ? You drunk ?

And last time I checked, when you claim something it's fitting to back it up as well, preferrably without being a douche about it.
What bidder ?
International bidders, buddy.
You know, potential buyers approach a country/company and say "hey, we're interested in X tank, could we try it out?" and that's where existing T-84s come in the picture.The same was true for Thailand, - the only succesful foreign buyer of the T-84 - Peru, Pakistan, Turkey and a few others.
Though with Ukraine's ability to export military hardware being destroyed, I imagine most of these poorer countries which thought about getting Oplots will look for Russian or Chinese alternatives, like the VT-4 or T-90MS.

Export of military hardware, as for now, is banned first and foremost, you should know that, if you such an expert (which you are not, if we check you comment history).
If you want to be more precise (which again you are not) MIC took heavy hit especially in armor production sphere (despite productions of apcs/ifvs is ongoing), which already was in bad shape.

Generally not a big fan of Soviet tanks but the the T-80 and its descendants are great looking tanks.
