The experimental model of the tank will be presented in 2015, its serial production will start a year or two later. This development will be the first step towards the creation of weapons "unmanned", called "combat robots" that spoke the authors of science fiction works of the last century.
The military expert Igor Korotchenko explains what it is: "It will be a tank equipped with a reinforced capsule that will ensure the preservation of the lives of the crew in conditions of combat operations real. Ammunition will be screened out of the capsule. At no tower and no one can be loaded cannon and fire automatically without man's participation. pointing the - operator will take care only to indicate the target and choose the type of projectile, designed to achieve the target. Therefore, it is a platform shielded completely unified and automated which will play a wide circle of missions in combat operations and is an industry first national armored. " The expert Aleksandr Gurov believes that the wars of the future man's role is reduced to the mission of the organization. Therefore, similar developments are indispensable. "In the case of an intervention from outer space or on the part of some foreign country, the defense should include both soldiers and robots, unmanned planes and tanks and other kinds of weapons.'s An imposition of the XXI century. Russia is a power that other states can not ignore and that has a wonderful community of scientists. The country should develop similar weapons. " The existence of heavy Armata platform was unveiled last summer. It is being developed since 2009 and should become the basis of a whole range of modern heavy tanks, the tanks and infantry special vehicles designed to tank brigades and mechanized infantry. The development project is undertaken by Uralvagonzavod's largest industrial complex - Russia's military. Incidentally, today this same company also is developing two more combat platforms - and the Kurganets Bumerang. The Army will receive next year war material built on this basis. The General Staff Gen. approved the program of creating a series of tanks, which could change the whole structure of armored forces. Developing tank designs - robots got to be done even in Soviet times, but after the collapse of the country all these projects have been frozen. Now scientists and engineers try to revive this promising idea, just as many other projects for the reform of the Armed Forces. Russian President Dmitri Medvedev recently stated in college Defence Ministry that the reform of the Armed Forces had already yielded serious results - the combat capability of the troops, as well as the degree of equipment with modern war materials increased. "In general, thanks to the reforms we have made new military, much better able to withstand the threats of our time and respond to potential threats that may arise." The state has earmarked 20 trillion rubles, ie about 660 billion dollars for the rearmament of the Armed Forces until the year 2020, which will lead to qualitative changes in the equipment of the Armed Forces with new types of armaments. Armata platform ------------------------------------------------- The efficiency of the vehicle will compensate the mega investment? Will be this the tank of the future? We'll know in 2015...

"Armata" combat platform will use many features of the T-95 tank, only a few of Which Have Been prototypes built. Battle tank In the main variant, the ammunition compartment will be separate from the crew, Increasing operational safety while the engine will be more powerful and the armor, main gun and autoloader will be improved. prototype is scheduled to The enter field trials in 2013, about 10 months ahead of schedule. First Deputy Defense Minister Alexander Sukhorukov said. The new tank is under development at Uralvagonzavod in Omsk. The first deliveries of the tank to the Russian Armed Forces are scheduled for 2015. A total of 2.300 MBTS are expected to be supplied by 2020. [2] The tank will have an unmanned, remotely controlled turret. It will be digitally controlled by a crewmember located in a separate compartment. Believed It is this would lead to the development Eventually of a fully robotic tank". (Understood, a FULLY robotic tank ) QUOTE Armata combat platform will use many features of the T-95 tank, only a few of Which Have Been prototypes built Object.195 is not T-95. And yes, Armata is based off 195th. QUOTE Battle tank In the main variant, the ammunition compartment will be separate from the crew, Increasing operational safety while the engine will be more powerful and the armor, main gun and autoloader will be improved. Correct. QUOTE prototype is scheduled to The enter field trials in 2013, about 10 months ahead of schedule. Yep, he said that. Proves the point of it being a "scaled down" 195th. Nobody would be able to create Armata-like tank in 4 years. QUOTE The new tank is under development at Uralvagonzavod in Omsk. The first deliveries of the tank to the Russian Armed Forces are scheduled for 2015. A total of 2.300 MBTS are expected to be supplied by 2020. Yes, it's developed by UVZ, and, if I'm not mistaken, scheduled for 2015, but about 460 Armatas per year from 2015 to 2020 - it doesn't make any sense, unless they're planning to also substitute tanks in reserves with brand new ones and completely phase T-90 out of active duty. Basically, from experience of previous years, his words could be translated as: 1) 2300 Armatas till 2020. 2) 2300 Armatas and new T-90's till 2020. 3) 2300 Armatas, new and repaired/modernized T-90's till 2020. And judging by the experience, it's 3rd, 2nd at best. Because if it's 1st, they will need to keep production going, and they will be putting new Armata's into reserve storage bases. That would definitely take it's toll on the budget, since the total amount of tanks in RuArmy arsenal, by 2020, is believed to be at 6000-9000. (over 2k in active combat-ready units, everything else in reserves). Ofcourse, they won't be filling all of them, but I'm fairly certain that T-90 will stay in active service in 2020. I'd be pretty happy if they'll manage to pull 1st, though QUOTE The tank will have an unmanned, remotely controlled turret. It will be digitally controlled by a crewmember located in a separate compartment. Correct, same stuff as on Obj.195 QUOTE Believed It is this would lead to the development Eventually of a fully robotic tank". (Understood, a FULLY robotic tank ) As in, next generation? The one that will come after Armata? Well, some people can have such wishes. Like Rogozin had a wish of picking Hypersonic variant for PAK-DA development. (although, you can never be sure, maybe they will indeed end up with such thing ) |

Yep, he said that. Proves the point of it being a "scaled down" 195th. Nobody would be able to create Armata-like tank in 4 years. It seems to me an error saying that it is being produced just 4 years, this type of vehicle has already been designed by Russian engineers since 1990 under the molds of "Black Eagle" which had a prototype in 2001 but ended up having the same fate as American Commanche by a matter of spending cuts, ie Russia holds the technology and "desing" the vehicle practically ready in a few years, the T-95 also not prospered for the same reason - lack of investment - only now with a consortium in progress the project is finally taking shape. Yes, it's developed by UVZ, and, if I'm not mistaken, scheduled for 2015, but about 460 Armatas per year from 2015 to 2020 - it doesn't make any sense, unless they're planning to also substitute tanks in reserves with brand new ones and completely phase T-90 out of active duty. Basically, from experience of previous years, his words could be translated as: 1) 2300 Armatas till 2020. 2) 2300 Armatas and new T-90's till 2020. 3) 2300 Armatas, new and repaired/modernized T-90's till 2020.

I'd be pretty happy if they'll manage to pull 1st, though Remember that the Armata is a universal platform for several different vehicles, I do not think there will be 2300 tanks, the source says 2300 will be "Armatas", ie 2300 "platforms", not necessarily tanks. As in, next generation? The one that will come after Armata? Well, some people can have such wishes. Like Rogozin had a wish of picking Hypersonic variant for PAK-DA development. (although, you can never be sure, maybe they will indeed end up with such thing ) Maybe, maybe not ... Only time will tell, however I do not doubt the capabilities of Russian engineering. -------------------- You already imagined how would be SAP in the ROTR's universe?

No, in original Russian source he clearly stated - 2300 tanks. And that kinda brings questions. This post has been edited by Knjaz.: 16 Mar 2013, 19:54 |
