Russian Tank Armata-14. The new generation of military technology.

“The tank’s tower has always been the weakest spot in the machine. The new platform could hide the entire crew inside of a heavily armored capsule.

“The T-14 has electronic systems that jam signals of enemy missiles and ‘blind’ them on their way to the vehicle,
T-14 ‘Armata’ is lighter than its American rival, the ‘Abrams’ M-1A2 (48 tons vs. 74 tons). It’s also faster.
Nevertheless, the T-14 has two big setbacks - the price and the complexity of its production.

The T-14 is the first tank in the world that is a part of the “network-centric war” concept.

The T-14 will probably be the first stealth tank in the world, not only with a drastic reduction in visibility in the infrared, radio and magnetic ranges, but also with the use of innovative signature distortion technologies, that is, distortion of its visual image in the specified ranges which makes it difficult to search for a tank from Javelin, Spike or JAGM among discarded infrared traps and di-pole clouds.

In 2022, the Russian military began the serial production of the T-14 ‘Armata’ tank. In the coming years, the country will get 132 heavily armed machines of this class.
Three countries have already shown interest in this tank - India, China and Algeria.
