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...

Another novelty about the Armata: Russian Next-Generation Armata Tank to Receive Bigger Gun
After decades will be one of the first MBTs to receive a 152mm cannon; the expectation about the development of this tank is constantly increasing; if all this is confirmed it will be a unique vehicle. Another demonstration of muscles by Russia. -------------------- You already imagined how would be SAP in the ROTR's universe? Check out this fan-fiction: South American Pact Introduction |

Another demonstration of muscles by Russia. The Americans designed the CATTB, a 140 mm armed Abrams and if I remember correctly Switzerland modified a Leo 2 to carry a 140mm. I don't think this bigger guns offer a great advantage: they take more time to reload and are expensier. Also the main tank killer today is the missile not the gun. I feel that it is a bit of a waste of resources As for the Armata tank, it is an innovation but it is expensive. Russia might commit the same error of the USSR again: expending too much on weapons rather than to focus that money on the economy. I doubt that the T-14 is the tank Russia needs now. Rather than focus in new , shining tanks when Russia already have A lot of tanks is a waste money. Improving their economic base is not( also the air force need more money than the army in Russia) |

I feel that it is a bit of a waste of resources Specific ammunition must be produced for the new caliber, but in fact the cannons of 125mm are the best so far. As for the Armata tank, it is an innovation but it is expensive. Russia might commit the same error of the USSR again: expending too much on weapons rather than to focus that money on the economy.

Improving their economic base is not( also the air force need more money than the army in Russia) The Russian economy is based on commodities and energy, due to the current geopolitical scenario makes necessary the rapid modernization and restructuring of military means to ensure the flow of this market, vital to Russia. In fact the Russian Air Force needs modernization, but still is fully operational. In addition to developing new fighters they are already being prepared for the modernizetion of Tu-22M and Tu-95. -------------------- You already imagined how would be SAP in the ROTR's universe?

I didn't say that they shouldn't design new weapons, in fact they should, but they aren't going to get any benefit by getting 2000 tanks. With 500 off then it would be enough. The armata isn't cheap, and it is much more expensier than a tipical soviet design. Russia is heading the same way as the USSR: expending too much on weapons rather than in their population the only difference being that the USSR was stronger. And the air force need a lot more of figther's and scrap the tu-95( Us should done the same with the b-52)Russia air force need the money that Putin is expending on tanks . if a country lacks air control, it would lose any conventional war. And no, SAM aren't a way to get air superiority either |

Russia is heading the same way as the USSR: expending too much on weapons rather than in their population the only difference being that the USSR was stronger. Surely Russia did not order the poduction of 2000 Armatas in the near future, we must assume that in fact was a government bluff; Russia would not have financial conditions and how well you said and the need for an order of this size. And the air force need a lot more of figther's and scrap the tu-95( Us should done the same with the b-52)Russia air force need the money that Putin is expending on tanks . if a country lacks air control, it would lose any conventional war. And no, SAM aren't a way to get air superiority either The VVS is one of the largest air forces in the world with 160,000 men and powerful fighters for every type of mission (at the regional and global scale), powered by an autonomous aviation industry; It might be better structured than the land and naval forces. The bombers like the B-52 and Tu-95 hardly cease to exist because they are 'weapons of depth' aimed at intercontinental missions; and above that affect the psychological factor of an enemy. Also are often the first, the last and sometimes the only nuclear option of a superpower against the other depending on the target being attacked and its location. In fact Russia is unable to control all of it's airspace, which is gigantic, but has returned to invest in it and with the accentuation of dispute for the Arctic was again a priority. -------------------- You already imagined how would be SAP in the ROTR's universe?
