New Russian tank T-14 on the platform "Armata" - a revolution in tank development, writes Austrian.
New armored vehicles, such as tanks, developed extremely rare, the magazine emphasizes: fresh warplanes are created more often. Modern battle tanks for many decades, despite certain measures to modernize them.
Thus, the German Leopard 2 is available since 1979, the American M-1 Abrams is from 1980, French Leclerc - since 1991, the British Challenger 2 is from 1994, and the Italian Ariete - 1995. Russian T-90 appeared in 1992. So, the appearance of "Armata" - a historically unique phenomenon.
Unique and is itself combat platform " Armata ". A versatile design, which can be produced a whole series of equipment - infantry fighting vehicles, artillery, combat vehicles, flame thrower, and others. This gives the opportunity to lower the cost and simplify the production, said that the press.
The "flagship" series "Armata" is the T-14. It is equipped with a 125 mm smoothbore gun A that exceeds its characteristics, "the best gun in the world" -120 mm L/55, which is installed on Leopard tanks.
However, unique T-14 make other settings, stresses the magazine.
most importantly, It's a desert tower, which is operated by a crew remotely using video cameras. This idea arose in the West a few decades ago, but was not implemented, it is reported in the publication. Due to the fact that the crew is not in the tower, and in a separate armour " in the tank inside a tank ", his defense is greatly increased.
"fresh technology, the most remotely operated tower, allow to predict that the T-14 can arise in the variant without crew, ground drone," - emphasizes the log.
in addition, the tank is a very complex system of protection. This heavy-duty armor and dynamic protection, which explodes "towards" flying tank in the projectile. T-14 also has active protection " Lapis ", designed to defeat incoming anti-tank missiles and other projectiles. The aft area of the tank is protected with the lattice screens that capture heat shells.
"At this time no other tank (and his team) are not protected in This way, As this New Russian car ", - emphasized in the publication.
"As for the Russian, and Thus for international tank "Armata" means the transition to a new generation of tanks, writes que press.- It can be foreseen that the West does not defend rearmament, the most amid tensions with Russia, the Ukrainian fall and decades of demilitarization, the most important thing in the EU."
