The Russian army has put into service T-14 Armata tanks since 2014. This will be the main battle tank (MBT) of the new generation of Russia, which is promised to be produced in large numbers. The amount of T-14 built is still negligible, but the T-14 is still much more successful than the T-95. Russia had ambitions to design a new tank that outperformed all of the most capable Western tanks, as well as any previous Soviet tanks, but the T-95 program was unable to outdo it. from the test phase. The origin of the T-95 main tank actually dates back to the Soviet era, when Moscow attempted to find a new main battle tank to replace the aging Soviet armored fleet. Those efforts continued as the Russian military inherited the majority of Soviet tank storage, including the main T-80 tanks produced by the Omsktransmash factory and the T-72 tanks built by Uralvagonzavod. . Russia continued to produce the T-90, at which time the T-90 was considered the main battle tank of Russia before a more modern tank could be produced. And the two tank factories are racing to develop a new type of MBT. The Omsktransmash factory started with a Black Eagle tank, which was essentially born from the T-80 but had a multi-chamber design. However, the performance of the T-80 in the First Chechen War was very lackluster. The Moscow government lost faith in the Black Eagle tank program and with the lack of funding the Black Eagle tank program was canceled in 2001, after which the Omsktransmash company quickly went bankrupt. While the Black Eagle is not impressive, the Uralvagonzavod plant is still working on the MBT in the Object 195 program. First reported in 1995, it was not officially recognized by the Russian military until 2000. The goal of the T-95 program is to create a tank equipped with more powerful weapons, including a 152mm main gun that can fire conventional ammunition as well as guided missiles, while providing better protection for The crew of three people, which includes a commander, gunner and driver. The tank is designed with the concept of a remote unmanned turret, equipped with an automatic loader for the main gun. In addition, the tank also has a panoramic periscope with thermal cameras, allowing the commander to scan the targets and then assign aiming and firing to the gunner. In terms of size, the T-95 is said to be larger than previous MBTs, and is similar in size and weight to Western tanks such as the British Challenger 2, Germany’s Leopard 2A7 and America’s M1A2 Abrams. . Especially the remote control turret design and the heavy gun are features found in the T-14 Armata, so it is clear that the T-95 is ahead of its time. However, only a handful of T-95 prototypes were built, by 2011 the program was halted and Russia switched to the production of the main Armata tank. The T-95 may be an early proof of concept for the T-14 Armata with its unmanned turret and crew compartment hull. However, it is likely that the 152mm cannon is overkill as the T-14 is still equipped with the traditional 125mm cannon. The question now is whether the T-14 will actually get past the T-95, but at least look at the T-14 now through its prototype stage and that’s what the T-14 does. than the Black Eagle or T-95 tank.

Increase Armata. “With AI, Russia has created the world’s leading heavy and real robotic tanks. Armata can analyze the situation on the battlefield by himself to attack the most valuable target. After analysis, the vehicle has. can be fired automatically without the intervention of the crew or control center. What is special is that despite the integrated automatic operation, all the power and combat capabilities on the original Armata tank remain the same, “said General Manager Sergei Chemezov. According to the Russian general manager, the new Armata with standards on technical characteristics – tactics, loading system, cockpit structure and support equipment for firing control new. Armata will be equipped with a fully automated combat module that allows the turret to be used differently from traditional tanks. Meanwhile, Deputy Director of Tractor Plants Group (the unit assigned to design Armata), Mr. Mikhail Levshunov confirmed, Armata tanks will be equipped with an automated system that can automatically destroy the target. Select and it will shoot itself until the target is destroyed. He said that the remote control module research was conducted in the framework of research and manufacture of new army technical equipment models. Accordingly, the automatic system can destroy targets in the air and on land. Thanks to the heat detector, it can work all night, when it’s rainy and foggy. Especially while Russia is very confident about the combat strength of the Armata tank, the leading American magazine National Interest pointed out the backwardness of the artillery on both these tanks and the artillery of this tank. the tank front armor of modern Western tanks could not be penetrated. According to an analysis by American magazine, the main reason to say the 2А82 cannon of the Т-14 Armata is outdated is that it uses the same 125 mm size as the previous generation tank cannon. According to some sources, the artillery system was originally built to be fitted with modernized Т-90 tanks that were only intended for the Russian army. After that, with the development of the standard heavy chain chassis Armata, it was decided to equip the next generation tank. The barrel 2А82 is treated to increase elasticity and partially chromed, which greatly increases the durability of the cannon. This cannon can fire existing and future ammo types. Future ammo types could destroy not only existing tanks but also their future variants, as well as new tanks in development. Currently, Russia is testing advanced smart artillery shells for the Т-14, so the ability to destroy enemy tanks is even higher. Although the West underestimated, but the tank manufacturer Armata asserted, the barrel energy of the gun 2А82 is 1.17 times higher than that of NATO’s best cannon, the 120 mm L-55 gun. The Russian artillery is superior to all current tank guns 1,2-1,25 times in terms of technical level and penetrating ability.
