The turret of the T-14 "Armata" tank was shown without protective casings

71

On November 26, a representative delegation of the Russian Ministry of Defense visited the assembly shop of JSC NPK Uralvagonzavod in Nizhny Tagil (part of JSC Concern Uralvagonzavod of Rostec State Corporation). The high-ranking military was shown all technological production chain of T-72B3M, T-90M "Breakthrough" and T-14 tanks based on the heavy unified Armata platform, as well as individual systems and units of combat vehicles.

In the photographs presented to the public from the enterprise, the uninhabited tower of the T-14 "Armata" was lit up, which was without protective casings. According to the State Defense Order, serial deliveries to the troops should begin even before the end of state tests. By the end of 2021, the Ground Forces of the RF Armed Forces will receive 20 units of a pilot batch of such tanks to develop operating experience.





The state tests of the T-14 "Armata" are expected to be completed in the first half of 2022. After that, a larger-scale rearmament of combat units for these combat vehicles will probably begin. In the period from August to October 2021, the tank units were being finalized. For example, he acquired reinforced road wheels similar to those used on the T-16 ARRV.

T-14 "Armata" is a new generation tank designed for network-centric warfare. It can be used as a command tank for the T-72B3M, T-90M "Breakthrough" groups, as well as conduct independent combat operations. Its 125-mm cannon can fire with existing TURs at a distance of 7 km, and the engine power (1500 hp) allows the 55-ton combat vehicle to accelerate to 82 km / h.

    A purely practical question. And what do these protective covers protect from? Well, it’s clear that there are no people in the turret. But the very combat mission of the tank as a tank is the ability to fight under enemy fire. Won’t a 12mm bullet or a fragment become fatal for the equipment of the tank turret? I am silent already about 23-30 mm guns and so on. .From what will this protective casing protect the equipment of the machine? And to be honest, this casing looks somehow flimsy. And in the picture of the tower without a casing, even wires seem to be visible .... hi

      An attempt to strengthen the protection of the tank, in the absence of an analogue of the KAZ Trophy. There is no crew in the turret. But there are mechanisms without which the tank is just a cart with wheels.

        Alas, the creation of a complex of active protection, approaching in its characteristics to the Israeli Trophy, turned out to be beyond the power of the Russian military-industrial complex, therefore, even the most modern, "unparalleled" Armata tanks have to mold primitive casings ...

          R&D on the T-14 in the last three years has come to resemble crash-and-tumble efforts, a sign that someone very active but incompetent has rubbed their goggles on top, especially on the engine or electronics.

          Penguins do not yet have their own KAZ, therefore they buy a Jewish one, along the way developing their own. The KAZ "Afghanit", which is highly effective against the American TOW and Javelin ATGM systems, is regularly installed on the Armata. Study mat. part and do not write nonsense!

            In a combat situation, KAZ Afghanit was not checked. Soviet and Russian specialists put a fuk on the TOW ATGM, and medium-trained horsemen on the Syrian bridgehead burned SAA tanks so that the Syrian express did not have time to deliver. And the T-90 tried this old complex. The level of combat also plays a role preparation of an ATGM calculation, fire guidance, reconnaissance, position camouflage. In addition, more than a single ammunition will be used for armored vehicles equipped with KAZ, and from different directions. If the crews are equipped with half-educated conscripts, then no KAZ will save. in tanks.

              I have very bad news for the calculations of the enemy's ATGM - the crews will be staffed in the event of a "big kerdyk" with guys over forty. That was how it was during that great war; it was very unpleasant for the Hitlerists.

                You are confused. Then the Soviet people fought for common interests. And the crews were also staffed with snotty dropouts. Therefore, the losses among Soviet tankers were huge, even in April 1945.

          Binduzhnik. A good but wayward tank. It can easily fall into a ditch, it can fall off a hill and bend the trunk. Maybe, like a Popandopulo machine gun, shoot at your own. There was one who asked and begged to stop shooting at his own people, or not to shoot at all, let him rest. He launched a couple of shells and then began to machine-gun. But he did not obey and the commanders admitted that an evil spirit had moved into the tank. And he was handed over to the museum after spraying with something holy. Then there was the same harmful machine gun, which had to be abandoned. There is such a technique or Zionist completely for the Jews, or vice versa. Help is impossible.

      protect against 12 mm bullets and reduce the EPR of the tank. attachments KAZ is a consumable item, it (kaz) will be destroyed anyway after being hit by a scrap projectile, as well as kaz Trophy. but the machine gun (a KAZ element, shoots down an anti-tank gun) on the turret can be automatically guided not only by the radar, but by IR UV and swir cameras. it is quite possible that it will work after a projectile hits the turret (if the cameras are intact). in any case, the crew of the t-14 even without KAZ is well hidden and protected, unlike NATO tanks

          The delivery date of Armata tanks to the troops has been postponed once again. Now for 2022. But it was originally planned to start mass production around 2015. As a result, the breakthrough design of the ultra-modern tank, instead of becoming a triumph for the Russian defense industry, showed its weaknesses to the whole world.
          Those imported components that you can still buy presented another surprise - an ever-increasing price. After all, the ruble has been steadily declining in recent years. As a result, Uralvagonzavod simply could not name the final cost of serial production of Armat. In 2015, it was about 250 million rubles, in 2018 - already about 450 million. The original plan of the Ministry of Defense to purchase 2300 new-generation tanks, even at the first price, did not fit into reasonable budgets. And the appearance of a new price tag put negotiations on bulk purchases on a long pause.
          If we recall the military budget of the USSR, then it was 5 times higher than the budget of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in dollar terms. This explains why the Soviet Union could afford to produce tanks by the tens of thousands. Despite the obvious advantages of the T-14 over the obsolete T-72, the price has become a major problem in promoting the "Armata". Therefore, the Ministry of Defense decided to abandon mass purchases for the time being, and apply the developments used in the T-14 to modernize the existing T-72 and T-90.

              A lot of muddy water, for internal use.

              1. The T-72B3 and T-90M tanks are also enough. The main qualifications of the crews, unit command, reconnaissance and combat control.
              2. The operation of the T-14 will result in a pretty penny. As well as the training of crews.
              3. The tower has a lot of innovative stuff. All this is demolished by the usual OFS. By the way, it is not only about the T-14. What, should KAZ remove this threat?
              4. Problems with the T-72/80/90 gun and ammunition? This makes it easier to make an SPG in addition to tanks, on the same chassis (T-72/80/90).
              5. Gradual transition to 2A-83, i.e. caliber 152 mm? Why not right away?
              6. New ammunition (Lead-2, Vacuum, ...) is not suitable for the T-72 / 90x (and not because of the gun, replacing 2A-46xxx with 2A-82xxx will not change anything - there is a problem with the dimensions of the body and the automatic loader) ... Or have they already made so many that you need a tank capable of shooting them? Again - why not a "cheap" SPG?

    State tests of an armored personnel carrier and an infantry fighting vehicle based on the Boomerang platform are scheduled to begin in the spring of 2022, Lieutenant Colonel Yuri Chikin, head of the 154th military representative office, said at the Arzamas Machine-Building Plant.
    “The machine has passed preliminary tests with a positive result. Currently, prototypes are being finalized to present them for state tests, which are planned to begin in March - April 2022, ”said the head of the representative office.
    He clarified that "the completion of state tests is planned in November - December next year."

                Do not worry will be raised. It is recovering little by little. How are Uzbek machine tool builders doing? Have you surpassed the Soviet indicators?

                  The aircraft industry is in failure. I can’t even believe that they could do the T-144. The failure in military transport aviation, the basis of the Air Force. The Il-76MD-90A and Il-78MD-90A are being made at a snail’s pace. The regiment will be formed for 10 years. With the Il-112V failure. The An-124 service life is coming out, but there is no Russian engine for it. There is no engine for the Be-200. With Tu-160M2 failure. With Tu-22M3M failure. 57 did not go for export. Failure with the IL-30-100. Failure with the restoration of the An-114.
                  With the production of modern submarines, a failure. Project 677 was filled up, without VNEU, only two units were made with an unfinished SED-1. BUGAS, with a backward air regeneration system. Project 6M is planned for only 877 units. And 855 is required. At the price of three SSBN 8A projects. Without electric propulsion. With wooden torpedoes and the same GPE devices.
                  Gone is the reconnaissance and attack naval aviation. PLO aviation shameful museum exhibits useless against modern submarines.
                  They do not make raid minesweepers. Basic minesweepers 1 per year. I will staff the division for 10 years. Sea minesweepers are not released. There are no breakers and liquidators, new contact and non-contact trawls.

                    If we judge by this criterion, then the material is a failure. I can't even believe what the Concorde managed to do.

                    The failure in military transport aviation, the basis of the Air Force. The Il-76MD-90A and Il-78MD-90A are being made at a snail's pace.

                    Failure? Production is being restored bit by bit. Why are you silent like a fish on ice about the successes of the Uzbek aircraft manufacturers? Before, after all, they produced the IL-76. And now they are making children, but somehow they are not very good at working with their hands. A serial board was transferred to the troops, the pace of production is increasing. A new assembly line has started.

                    The Il-112V is a failure. The An-124's service life is approaching, but there is no Russian engine for it. There is no engine for the Be-200. The Tu-160M2 is a failure.

                    Il-112 is being created to replace the Ukrainian aircraft. All sorts of independent neighbors ruined production. Everything has to be rebuilt from scratch. Not everything works out quickly.
                    The PD-14 has been made, and the engine for the Be-200 will also be made. not all at once. What is the failure with the Tu-160M2? By the new year, they plan to lift the first board into the air. The production of engines and the aircraft itself was restored.
                    With the Tu-22M3M failure? Is there something that doesn't suit you?

                    Serial production of the Su-57 failed. Even product 30 is not.

                    Not a failure, but a delay. Show who does better? The USA, which put out the F-35 and now do not know what to do with it? Who else did something like that? Maybe Uzbeks?

                    SZHZH-100 was not exported. With Il-114-300 failure. With restoration of An-2, failure.

                    Your nagging is standard. They didn’t do it, if they did it then didn’t go into the series, if they did it, they don’t like the pace, if everything is fine with the pace of construction, then the export is small.
                    The creatures ruined the country, now everything is being restored bit by bit. The communists of the country are pr ... well, you know. They "re-profiled" into democrats and for 10 years they derbanded her. And you can only moan that they are recovering at the wrong pace.
                    What are you not talking about the successes of independent Ukrainian-Uzbek and other aircraft manufacturers? Everything has to be restored.

                    Project 677 was filled up, without VNEU, only two units were made with an unfinished SED-1

                    Is it that simple in your opinion? Why weren't they built earlier under the USSR?

                    Poor Varashavians, and then only 6 did.

                    Your brains are bad fool Learn to count. 6 pieces only for the Black Sea Fleet.

                    Only 855 units are planned for the 8M project, while 20 are required.

                    Who needs it? Why 200? Did Admiral Kizyachny consider the needs themselves?

                    For the price of three Project 955A SSBNs. Without electric propulsion. With wooden torpedoes and the same GPE devices.

                    You have a wooden block on your shoulders.

                        Compared to Ukraine and Uzbekistan, the UAC looks good in terms of aircraft construction, at the level of 0, but in comparison with Boeing and Airbus it is very bad.

                        Why so? The Uzbeks breed well and they are all educated. Ukraine that finally finally can be stored. Well, where is the result?

      The rear repair units and subdivisions will not be able to maintain the T-14 because of the complex equipment. So, the repair subdivisions are staffed by conscripts who have dropped out.

    - Once upon a time in my hometown of Omsk - the "Omsk Transport Engineering Plant" built so many T-80B tanks (with subsequent all kinds of modifications) - that today you can easily equip several tank corps from these tanks ... - True - that was even before my birth ... - And then this plant was "killed" ... by enemies of the people ... - But today they "remembered" about the produced tanks - and they began to intensively modernize them ...
    - As for the T-14 tank, it simply amazes me - why there are so many sharp corners and edges in its hull (in the turret) - there is no "streamline" - although the turret is "uninhabited" - but still ... - Personally I am not an expert in this type of weapon - but it was possible to somehow "smooth the corners" - after all, it is not AFAR that is installed on it ... - after all ... - Or is it thermal imagers and "Afganit" - that's how they influenced on the "tank streamlining" ???

      I've heard that these angles scatter the radar beams and make the car less visible. However, I may be wrong angry

    a couple of hits on the turret with a small caliber - and all the buckets that were hung will be destroyed, followed by the tank with the crew .. the cable routes outside the hull are especially impressive ..

      Of course, you potheads know better. You, according to your "immortal" cyborgs, successfully fought the Armata back in 2014. Many people remember the stories of these "heroes" how they tore off the towers of the Armat in the Donbas with their bare hands.)))))))))))))

    How overexcited the audience was. One really interesting question raised and ... laughing What kind of bullshit you will not read. And even especially, as always, stupid cheers of the marginals, even with insults, climbed up. God did not give more intelligence .. fool
    But the question remains open. The answer to which we will get after the operation of these twenty tanks with this turret. For "Armata" is a combat complex, a platform, as it is fashionable to say now .. In this period, and it is on this modification that it is equipped with this particular turret. Let's see in the future how it will be, or rather where its modernization will go. Personally, my opinion: it (the tower) will be made more secure.
    And yes, I don’t need to explain about the safety of the crew. I did not raise this topic. This is another topic. There will be questions or a suitable topic for an article. Then we’ll talk about this.

      This is true of any tank. The expensive T-14 is not suitable for the most massive tanker as a conscript. It is not provided with fire support helicopters, military air defense, and reconnaissance.
