New Russian T-14 T-14 "Armata" was noticed on a landfill under Kazan (video)
Moreover, the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation have been trying to use the latest tank for several years, but numerous technical problems are hindering this. Russian journalists write that the tank was noticed at the training ground, where the cadets of the Kazan Higher Tank Team Team Order of the Zhukov Red Banner School were trained. It is assumed that cadets will be able to get acquainted with the new T-14.
Russian propagandists have been talking about "Armat" in recent years, as the peak of modern scientific and technical thought, which forces the Western military to shudder, although T-14 is one of the most classified types of military equipment. However, even Russian experts do not hide that a promising T-14 tank is a fairly raw and problematic machine that needs achievements. Back in the 1980s, it was decided to start the development of a "two thousand years" in the USSR.
Specialists in almost all Soviet design bureaus have taken up the creation of the front in all respects of the machine. As a result, there were many ideas that were not implemented before the collapse of the Union. The most promising projects of the Object 299 and the Omsk Object 640 "Black Orel" were closed even after in 2000 it was possible to restore work on the creation of a new tank. Only in 2015, the first T-14 sample appeared at Uralvagonzavod, but its mass production was never launched.
The T-14 T-14 "Armat" belongs to the fourth generation tank. It realized the idea of an uninhabited tower, because it is assumed that the crew will be outside it. One of the main features of the machine is the so-called stealth technology, which provides deterioration of the detection of the tank in the infrared, magnetic and radio band. For its implementation, low thermal conductivity coating, masking the exhaust distribution system, as well as a special form of tank surfaces.
The machine has a dynamic booking of the 4th generation "Malachite", the active protective system "Afghanite", as well as a system of "dimetal" curtains, which can "blind" PTKR by spraying a cloud of metal particles. The frontal armor is made in layers and its efficiency is equated with metal armor with a thickness of one meter, so it is impossible to break such protection with current shells and PTKR. The main tool is 125 mm weapons with automatic charging.
The shooting range reaches 8 km, and the frequency - up to 12 shots per minute, while the efficiency of firing is achieved through a fire control system, which determines the coordinates in automatic mode. There is information that the tank developed guided reactive shells that are able to impress targets up to 30 km, but the data on the characteristics of the BP are classified. On the port of Armat also there is a 12.
7 mm anti -aircraft gun with remote control, which fires automatically based on data from sensors and thermal imagers. The second machine gun is paired with the main gun and is designed to defeat the power. The first tests of the T-14 T-14 "Armata" tank began in 2019, but only in the fall of 2021 information appeared that 20 tanks should be armed with the Armed Forces by the end of the year.
