T-14 Armata tank is a next-generation Russian battle tank based on the T-14 Armata platform. The T-14 Armata has technology that the current generation does not have. This new tank will force its foreign competitors to develop these technologies in order to compete with the Russians. Read on to learn more about this latest project. This article will provide an overview of this new Russian battle tank.
The T-14 Armata tank is expected to enter series production in 2022. The Russian Defense Ministry plans to deliver 132 of these new tanks to its army within the next three years. Once these tanks reach the army, the Russian Defense Ministry will allow the company to sell the tanks overseas. Although the T-14 will have limited capabilities compared to the current Russian tanks, it will still be one of the most modern and capable tanks on the market.
The T-14 has an advanced, 12-speed automatic gearbox that gives it a top speed of 80-90 kph. Its range is about 500 km. According to one expert, the transmission of the T-14 may be mechanical or electronic, with equal forward and reverse gear ranges. However, other sources suggest that it may be partially or fully hydrostatic. The transmission is part of the vehicle and can be swapped in thirty minutes.

T-14 Armata Tank Specifications
The T-14 Armata tank’s turret and outline have many similarities to Western-style tanks. It also has seven road wheels, a departure from previous Soviet designs. The T-14’s transmission may be either fully hydrostatic or electronically controlled. Both may be used. The T-14’s top speed and range are unknown. Its capabilities are also unclear, but its specifications suggest that the tank could challenge Western MBTs.
The T-14 Armata is also the first battle tank in the world to have an uncrewed turret. This concept has been studied by many countries but Russia was one of the first to use it. In the 1960s, the autoloader system made the turret crew redundant, and remote sensing removed the need for a crew. It is now considered a modern tank, and has been tested in battle.
The T-14 Armata has a fully digital crew station and is designed to provide multiple information feeds. This type of vehicle will be the most technologically advanced tank in the world. The T-14 Armata is designed to serve as the main battle tank for the Russian Army. The T-14 is a major capability update for Russian military forces and will require ongoing financial support. However, there are still some major shortcomings of the T-14.
The T-14 Armata’s turret is remotely controlled and fitted with a wide-angle camera, providing 360-degree all-around vision. Similarly, the Armata T-14 is expected to carry a laser warning system. It also has a computerised fire control system that formulates a solution using a wind sensor and muzzle reference system. Additionally, the T-14 has a battlefield management system. It is powered by a 1,200-hp turbocharged diesel engine.
As of 2017, Russia has not yet taken delivery of the first batch of T-14 Armata tanks
The company that is producing the tank has delayed the first nine T-14 Armata tanks until 2019. The T-14 has been described as the best tank since the Soviet T-80, and its specifications are similar to those of modern American and European tanks. It is also very capable of eliminating modern tank munitions and is also capable of destroying them on approach.
While the T-14 Armata’s armor is mostly made of steel, it has been improved to reduce the silhouette and improve its combat capabilities. The tank has improved turrets and crew isolation. Its 152mm L/51 turret is now equipped with an unmanned turret. The T-14’s high armor protection and high mobility make it an attractive option for the Russian army.
The T-14 Armata MBT’s design is based on a modular combat platform. The T-14’s canopy is designed to be used with other Russian armoured variants. Its three compartments include a crew cab, unmanned remote controlled turret, power-pack, and a meteorological mast. The T-14 is designed to be highly versatile and is capable of fighting against both enemy and allied vehicles.
