Most threads eventually get a threadreader link, so if linking threads, look for a threadreader link in the replies and post it too so others can read it.

I did laugh at how the Wikipedia article for the T-14 helpfully adds that the tank has its own toilet for the use of the crew.

It makes sense, you want to protect the crew by reducing the need for them to leave, but it just solidified my impression of Russian soldiers as having an obsession with toilets.

Edit: Wikipedia's source, Russia is installing toilets in the wildly expensive NATO killer T-14 supertanks it can't afford

Well then are we sure they've been withdrawn and that's not just the cover story after the Russian army looted them all?

Doesn't the crew of three all sit next to each other? I suppose I need to google what the toilet is like on the Armata.

Oh, they exist as in there are tank shaped objects to take photographs of and they can move around. How they actually perform is a giant question mark.

But if they're withdrawing (or simply never actually sending) them from this war -a war they've re-activated T-55's for- it is not a great sign for the T-14 no matter how you look at it.

Vatnik tankers went on record to say they'd sooner be stuffed into T-62s rather than risk their lives in Armatas, which they dubbed deathtraps.

Russia decided Armata was too good, and it wouldn't be sporting to use it against inferior Ukrainian gear. It's another in a string of good faith gestures.

Russian tanks aren’t known for being well ventilated (until the turret gets tossed) and I can’t imagine their MREs sit well in a persons digestive system. Boris probably blows the poo poo out of that toilet on a regular basis. When you flush does the turd go out the spent shell extractor?
