To evaluate or analyze something to the newest Russian Tank T-14, I suppose even early. Therefore, it is simply postponing in one place all his photos available at the moment.

Judging by appearanceMachine is somewhat different from previously discussed concepts. It was assumed something:

and even this:

In practice, the car was somewhat different:

In part physical sizes T-14 "Armat" is somewhat longer and higher, if you count by extreme dimensions.

For reference, TTH main modern tanks look like this

However, if you look at really significant parameters, for example, to compare the height of the tower, then the "Armat" was only 30 cm above the Abrams. What is hardly so fundamentally important, given the range of firing of modern weapons.

The total layout of the machine as a whole also coincided with forecasts. Something expected:

In reality it turned out closely similar:

Motor-transmission compartment from behind, bronoscapsule with crew - ahead. True, the presence of only two hatches suggests that the number of the crew of the tank is reduced to two people. Theoretically between the commander and the mechanic to place another crew member can be. But do not forget that it takes place not just to sit, but also space to accommodate equipment "to work." So the presence of a volume of the volume of volume in Bronkonepus is required for the third member of the crew. However, to combine in one person the functionality of the tank commander and the gunner arrow ... also does not look the right solution. This convincingly showed another VMW. It is unlikely that the designers decided to ignore this experience. So it is worth waiting for additional information.

As for the tower, it is really completely uninhabited.

Judging by the absence of the tower of the regular places to attach any external additional elements, their installation "in the field" is not provided. However, it is too early to make conclusions from this fact.

First, the desert of the tower sharply reduces the requirements for the minimum branch volume. This means, conventionally speaking, she can be one big solid piece of metal. Including - provide for the installation of some elements of protection for external decorative covers. In the end, the design of the sides explicitly indicates the presence of DZ there.

Secondly, it is not necessary to exclude and the possibility of an attempt of targeted misleading. It is clear that this demonstration of the newest Russian tank is attracted by extremely close attention of all explorations "of our potential conditional friends." Those. The tower of serial cars will look somewhat different. Although, I emphasize, it is only an assumption. More precisely, one of the possible options. For final conclusions it is worth collecting more data.

An excellent, in my opinion, a general analysis of the current facts about the design of the T-14 "Armat", held on the website "VDK News" in the article "Tank T-14" Armat "or T-99" Priority ". Recommend to reading. There is a lot of interesting things. Here I will allow myself to quote only some selected places.

Armor

The new armor steel brand 44C-SV-W will be used on the new Russian "Armat" tank. Steel was created by specialists of JSC "Nii Steel".

Samples of steel 44C-SV-W thick 25 mm after successful tests of the armor-piercing bullet B32 caliber 12.7 mm photo: OJSC "Research Institute of Steel"

The use of this steel on the promising "Armat" platform will allow you to "remove" hundreds of weight kilograms from the machine, where it will also be used not only for armor targets, but also as a structural material.

Although the hardness has become at least 54hrc, its plastic characteristics remain at the level of serial steels having a hardness of 45-48hrc. It is this combination that reduces the thickness and, accordingly, the weight of armored constractions from the new steel without reducing protective characteristics and vitality at low temperatures.

Power point

The power unit is a single 1200-strong diesel turboporial engine A-85-3A (sometimes indicated as 2A12-3, 12HN15 / 16 or 12N360) for the front and rear-position MTO. Motion for at least 2000 hours. Weight up to 5 tons. MTU volume up to 4 m3. There is an opportunity to upgrade. According to the overall mass characteristics, the novelty must exceed the best foreign samples of motor-transmission units. It should be noted that the rated power of the engine is 1500 hp, up to 1200 hp The restriction has been introduced, which significantly increased the motor life.

Technical characteristics of the engine A-85-3A (12H360) for the promising Russian reinforcement platform:

Engine type - four-stroke, x - shaped, 12-cylinder with gas turbine turbine supervising and intermediate air cooling.

Mixing system - direct fuel injection

Engine power without resistance on the inlet and release, kW (hp) - 1103 (1500)

Rotation frequency, C-1 (rpm) - 33.3 (2000)

Turning torque,% - 25

Specific fuel consumption, g / kW * h (g / hp * h) - 217.9 (160)

Mass, kg - 1550

Specific power, kW / kg (hp / kg) - 0.74 (1.0)

Overall power, kW / kg (hp / kg) - 1026 (1395)

Specific, kg / kW - 1.32

Length, mm - 813

Width, mm - 1300

Height, mm - 820

The 12N360 engine is a completely mastered motor, by no means a stand, he just stood on our promising tanks (an object 195), which took place not so long ago. In terms of the power plant, Gui was completed successfully, the complaints engine did not have - despite the fact that the tests were very tough.

A gun

Based on messages about refusing to bring to the T-95 tank series with a 152-mm gun, it can be argued that the new machine is scheduled to equip the main main 125-mm tool

Until recently, the main domestic gun was the versions of a well-known tank gun 2A46M. The latest 2A46M-5 modification has a firing accuracy of 15-20% higher, the total dishoning when shooting from the move decreased by 1.7 times. Thanks to the improvement, the instrument has gained the ability to shoot new armor-piano-sub-caliber shells of increased power.

A 120-mm smooth-bore cannon L 55 with a barrel of 55 tank leopard-2A6 tank leopard-2A6 is considered the best Western instrument. Compared to the old 120-mm smooth-bore cannon L-44, the length of the L-55 barrel is increased by 130 cm.

DM -53 and DM -63 projectiles used on this gun have very high characteristics on armor-proof. And this is despite the fact that, in contrast to American ammunition, the Germans are not used as the core material depleted uranium.

Of course, when creating a Russian main combat tank based on a severe unified platform much attention It was paid to ensuring high characteristics of firepower.

In the 2000s, a new tank 125-mm cannon 2A82 was created in Russia. By the fall of 2006, 787, 613 and 554 shots managed to produce 787, 613 and 554 shot from the Milling and Two Experienced Samples on the "Plant No. 9".

The system with autocreplex and partially chrome-plated barrel is capable of shooting both existing and promising ammunition. In terms of technical level, it exceeds all existing tank guns in 1.2-1.25 times.

The cutting energy of the gun 2A82 is 1.17 times, the best NATO tool -120-mm system of the leopard-2a6 tank system, while the length of the pipe of our gun is 60 cm in short.

The fastening of the throins is introduced in the tower by the reverse wedge. The rear support of the retractable parts is placed in the clip part of the cradle. The neck of the cradle is elongated by 160 mm. In the neck of the cradle, the rigidity of which is increased, placed two additional beading devices. Both guide cradles are made according to the type of prism.

These measures have reduced the secondary technical dispersion on all types of shells by 15% against table values.

Punch 2A82 for "Armatha" decided to upgrade, extending the trunk for a whole meter - to 7m. To automatically bending the bending of the barrel channel on the bunny part of the trunk pipe, the reflector of the bending control device (UU) is provided.

Digital signal processing adopted in the device provides a measurement of the required trunk parameters in a wide range of interference and operational impacts. The data obtained is issued as amendments to the ballistic calculator, which ensures improvement of the shooting accuracy.

"Armat" will shoot both projectiles of various types (fragantive-fugasic, armor-piano-picaliber, cumulative) and controlled missiles Land-Earth class with optical-electronic, infrared and satellite targeting, as well as anti-aircraft rockets Land-air class. In fact, this is not a tank, but a universal drummer of ground forces, which includes a full-fledged tactical rocket complex, an anti-aircraft system anti-heart defense, A complex of army intelligence and targeting and, actually, tank.

Fire Management System

Aimicious complex:

Multichannel Multichannel Main Sight with Visigar and thermal imaging channels, laser rangefinder, built-in Laser Control Channel.

An increase in the trick channel, multiplicity - 4; 12.

Recognition range of the target type "tank" through the trick channel, M - up to 5000.

The ability to automatically accompany goals is provided regardless of the place of the gunner and from the commander's location with the implementation of the "Hunter - Arrows" mode.

The armament stabilizer is improved by a two-plane with an electromechanical drive of GN and electro-hydraulic VN.

The promising Tank "Armat" will be equipped with radars of the same technology as the fifth generation fighter T-50. According to the technical launch of the Ministry of Industry, "Armat" will receive Ka-band radar (26.5-40 GHz) based on the active phased antenna lattice (AFAR), made according to low-temperature ceramics technology.

Case stuffed with video cameras. They allow the crew to observe a circular environment around the tank. If required, the transfocation is included, and the remote object can be considered in detail. There is the possibility of thermal imaging and infrared vision in every weather during the day and night.

The active phased antenna grid consists of a plurality of cells - microwave transmitters. Such an antenna is able to quickly change the direction of location (no mechanical movement of the "plates" of the locator is not required) and has a high reliability - the failure of one element does not lead to a significant drop in power and distortion of the beam. Such a radar in armored vehicles will be indispensable in solving and defensive and offensive tasks. There are two options for its use - as part of a fire management system or as a complex of active protection. It includes an antenna, which detects means of lesions to be tanged. The Afar will determine the coordinates and parameters of such a threat, and the tank will destroy these goals.

The system is able to simultaneously "lead" up to 40 dynamic and up to 25 aerodynamic purposes - a completely undeighted indicator for all RLSs consisting of other armies. The system will control the territory within a radius of up to 100 kilometers and will be able to automatically destroy the target of up to 0.3 meters in the territory.

Tank T-14 "Armat" outline 2017 News


T-14 (the index of the GBTU - the object 148) is the latest Russian main combat tank with a uninhabited tower on the basis of the universal tracked platform "Armat". The general public T-14 was presented at the Victory Parade in 2015 together with other products based on Armat.

Tank T-14 Armat - Video

As part of the state program of arms, a state order for the manufacture of 2300 T-14 tanks to 2020-2025 has been placed. In 2015, a pilot-industrial part of 20 tanks was made in 2016, mass production of tanks began, which is not planned to be reduced even in a crisis. At the same time, the procedure for military acceptance and troubleshooting has begun.

T-14 is the first tank in the world in the framework of the concept of the "Sectsentric War", where T-14, due to the medium-range circular AFAR tank, and infrared HD surveillance cameras with circular coverage 360 \u200b\u200b°, is used as an intelligence machine, The target designation and adjustment of the fire of SAU, SPC and escort from T-90 tactical tanks.


T-14 is the first "stealth tank" world not only with a fundamental decline in visibility in the infrared, radio and magnetic range, but also using innovative technologies "distortion of signature", that is, distortion of its visual image in the specified ranges of the tank search GSN Pttur Javelin class, Spike or Jagm among discarded infrared traps and dipole clouds. Equipped with a new generation of an active protection complex "Afghanit", capable of intercepting even anti-tank shells and, safely for environmental infantry and technology tank, blinding anti-tank controlled rockets by using smokeometalline curtains or burning electronics of their homing heads due to the use of electromagnetic weapons.

The T-14 is equipped with a dynamic booking of the fourth generation "Malachite" capable of reflecting with a probability of more than 95% shots from manual anti-tank grenade launchers, as well as destroy modern podkalibal anti-tank shells, even beaten in the board.
Multilayer metal-ceramic windshield booking of the tank cannot be printed with existing shells and anti-tank missiles. The world's first tank with an armored capsule for a crew that guarantees it to survive even during the detonation of ammunition.

The history of the T-14 is related to the continuation of the USSR's developments on tanks with a uninhabited tower, as well as the competition of the Russian Federation and the United States for creating a tank for the concept of the "Seethertic War", where the competitor of the Armature project was Future Combat Systems. The authoritative American edition of National Interest, assessing the competition of Armatian programs and Future Combat Systems, notes that the American MCC suffered a serious defeat for the US National Prestige, failed to complete the development of the replacement of the Abrams Tank.


Unlike traditional tanks, T-14 is a "sequetric tank", that is, it is not intended for a single battle, but to work with a group of various combat vehicles in one tactical link, performing the functions of intelligence, targeting and remote control through a unified tactical link management system from the Concern "Constellation", which allows all the machines of the "Armat" platform to receive an operational environment in real time and automatically calculate ballistic data for fire control systems in the scenario of defeat the objectives not one armat, and the attacks of the target which includes, except for T-14, a few more heavy BMP T-15, SAU 2C35 "Coalition-SV" and a shock helicopter.

The T-14 is a GLONASS-navigation antenna and a radiocommunication system, which is described in the article on the EC TK.

Since the radar T-14 is declared Ka-band, it means that it has theoretical accuracy of up to 5 angular minutes (0.08 °). In practice, for similar radar as "Credo-1e", it is possible to achieve accuracy of about 10 meters by range and 0.1 ° in azimuth. A panoramic infrared Sight T-14 with independent rotation can clarify the azimuth of the target detected with even greater accuracy, as was done on the similar XM1209 machine in the Future Combat Systems program. However, even without taking into account the refinement of the coordinates of objectives with optical methods, the radar allows you to effectively adjust the fire of SAU, following the T-14, and in general, to maintain a rather effectively own fire with fragantive-fugasic shells. Indeed, the RLS with accuracy of 0.1 ° to 6 km can produce coordinates with an accuracy of about 10 meters. For 10 km, the error will be about 17 meters, which is enough to fire infantry and easily armored equipment from SAU with 152 mm projectiles. It should be noted that even small Doppler radars well also see the breakdowns of shells on the flying fragments, so they can be used to adjust the artillery fire, reporting the amendment to shooting. An important fact that even clarifying azimuth by panoramic sight, the tank commander may not use a laser rangefinder and the goal will not be able to take measures for self-defense as a smoke curtain.


Some experts indicate that the impulse-Doppler radar T-14 is able to calculate the trajectories of the shells like radar artillery intelligenceThat is, it is capable of trajectories flying past T-14 shells to calculate automatically the coordinates of the positions of enemy tanks and artillery and perform their automatic shelling. Indeed, in a similar radar as the ELM-2133 of Trophy, the calculation of the coordinates of the FIGR, RPG or projectile with the transfer of data to the SUO to open the response fire is maintained. However, according to the example of a similar system in Merkawa, it can be expected that the accuracy of determining the coordinates in such a method of starting missiles may be insufficient for applying only a response artillery strike, the target will be required by optical means.


Since T-14 uses pulse-Doppler radar, capable of calculating the target rate vector, the radar can issue very accurate angular coordinates of the helicopter or aircraft air to specify the sector to start missiles for light Sprink Class Pine Arrow, Arrow-10M4 or SPA, which have no own Overview of circular radars, but equipped with equipment for external targeting and radio management. For more powerful Class Pole-C1 Class, such an external target designation scenario also represents extreme value, as it avoids the Decasting of the SPC due to the work of its own radar with the risk of being destroyed by an orphan rocket.

Experts report that the T-14 will be able to indicate the goals and its escort from the numerous old T-90 MS tanks upgraded with the installation of noise immunity and GPS / GLONASS-navigators. It is obvious that the accuracy of the radar T-14 is redundant for such a scenario, since the T-90MS will perform the final accuracy of its infrared target. However, the implementation of such a scenario itself is significantly more important, as it allows T-14, being the most valuable control machine, shy away from contacting the battle, and enhancing a contact battle, not destroy their own tanks.


The concept of the "Scetcentric War" leads to the mass introduction of robotics, so, Uralvagonzavod reported that the T-14 will be remotely managed, and by 2017-2018 prototypes T-14 without crew and a robot-driven with artificial intelligence will be released. As the first stage to create a "unmanned" T-14, a crew reduction to 2 people in the serial version of the tank, the vacation place is planned to be used for additional ammunition. The Chinese news agency SINA, commenting on this, notes that the T-14 can become a "combat droid", automatically destroying detected goals without the participation of a person, where the operator gives only common tactical tasks. It should be noted that such modes of automatic destruction of all the goals that have not responded to the request "of their own strangers" have been operating in air defense systems for many years, therefore new technology is only in use for tanks.


Active Protection Complex Afghan

The location of cameras and radars KAZ Afghanit on the tank T-14 tank


The Austal Protection Complex (Kaz) "Afghanit" has long-distance rags of threat warning, therefore it is also used for intelligence purposes. Afghan Protection Scenarios also include the integration of fire management system for an aggressive fire response in the event of an attack on protected armored vehicles. Including Afghanitan controls the automatic turn of the tower towards the income to deploy more powerful armor and protection equipment in its direction, and the main strike of the blow - by calculating the FMR.

Panoramic radio optical radar Afghan consists of four Afar panels of a pulse-doppler radar and integrated circular HD cameras of long-distance and near infrared range. Due to integration with infrared monitoring agents, Afghanis has increased resistance to REC and can also be only in passive mode with the cameras turned on, but with a turned off radar for disguise. The complex is safe for the surrounding infantry, as it is focused on the conclusion of missiles more than the means of smokeometalline curtains, electromagnetic pulse from the stationary generator on SOS diode and emi-grenades. To enhance the effectiveness of the action, the curtain on the mask T-14 is equipped with stealth products, such as thermal insulation of the case and a decrease in visibility in the radio.

Afghanita has the ability to control a robotic machine-gun unit for the destruction of fell apartments. Afghanita can even destroy the shell-attacking armored vehicles at the expense of additional 2 high-speed Doppler neighboring radars made by PFAR-technology and highlighting from a constant source.


Malachite dynamic booking complex

The T-14 has a new version of dynamic booking, which can be implemented including electronically control. Currently, the developers have disclosed only data that the Malachite Wall is capable of breaking the shells inside itself and reflect heavy in itself. The safety of the WPS for the tank and infantry is declared by reducing the amount of explosive used by the WPS to destroy ammunition.


Radar complex

Afar radar N036B-1-01 created on LTCC technology used for T-14 radars


Radar T-14 is used to intelligence the goals of all kinds of enemy armored vehicles prior to the interference of the Flight. The radar itself is part of the active protection system of Afghanit, although it can be used in attacking scenarios.

According to the technical support of the Ministry of Industry of the Ministry of Industry, the tank in the world will use the radar on the active phased antenna lattice, made by the same technology as the fighter of the fifth generation T-50 - on low-temperature ceramics for the Ca-band 26.5- 40 GHz (LTCC technology). The feature of Afar technology on LTCC is in the moderate value of radar and reliability. The Afar Radar consists of 4 LTCC panels on the tank tower and ensures the observation of 360 degree targets without rotating the radar. In general, the radar resembles the structure of the four panels of the Radar ELM-2133 from the Trophy active protection complex for the Mercave Tank. The radar panels are also closed with bulletproof and anti-skid screens. To quickly extract and replace protective screens or a damaged radar module, plastic loops are provided.

AFAR Radar T-14 is visible on the tank tank


The review radar T-14 can simultaneously monitor 40 terrestrial dynamic and 25 air aerodynamic targets at a distance of up to 100 km. Previously, the manufacturers of radar for KAZ before the release of Afghanita even fought with a range of detection of goals, reducing as much power and radar distance as possible. In Kaz "Arena", the mode of reducing the power of pulses is built as far as the ammunition. But all such measures generally turned out to be ineffective against ultra-sensitive antennas of radiotechnical intelligence systems and especially the DRL aircraft that automatically calculated the positions of tanks at a large distance immediately after the inclusions of the Radarians of the Kaz even with a weak signal. In the concept of T-14, I decided not to deal with this, but to make a lack of dignity, that is, strengthen the power of the radar, making it even more noticeable, but turning it into a means of intelligence targets in the scenario of the Steecentric War, to issue goals for destruction in the first place other combat machines.

In addition to the four panels of the Review Radar on the T-14 there are still two radar of the ultrafast reaction for short distance. These radar are needed to trigger the destructive elements of the KAZ against the shells (BOPS), as well as for disguise, when the main review radar T-14 is turned off, Read more this technology Described in the section on the Active Protection Complex. A review radar of 4 panels manages the formulation of multispective curtains, and also performs the functions of intelligence purposes.


Infrared set of target detection

Tower T-14 tower with good visible infrared devices


On the tower with a machine-gun installation there is a panoramic sight with an independent rotation from the axis of the machine gun 180 ° with a highly sensitive and high-precision infrared system with cryogenic cooling production of the Kazan Opto-Mechanical Plant. The camera is paired in the visible spectrum of light and laser range finder with an infrared chamber. Together with the machine-gun installation, the panoramic sight is capable of rotating 360 °. The mode of independent rotation of the sight and machine gun was first publicly demonstrated on April 2, 2016 on T-14 tests. In general, the joint movement of mechanics independent of the machine gun of the panoramic sight is classical and the same solutions can be seen on the demonstrations from Raytheon.

Traditionally, panoramic sights are used by tank commanders to detect target coordinates. In the case of a "sectocentric tank" as the T-14 panoramic sight is similar to XM1209 integrated with a tank radar and robotic mechanics quickly rotates a panoramic sight for the examination in turns of the goals detected by a tank radar, or infrared circular survey chambers described below. Thus, the coordinates of the goals are specified, the low resolution of the radar and the possible loss of contact with the purpose of the radar are compensated for the purpose of the radar due to the use of Rab.


The tank commander receives a tactical setting card on a computer monitor, on which the goals coordinates are superimposed, and gives commands to the gunner, what goals to examine or firing in more detail. The revealed coordinates of terrestrial and air targets are also broadcast with T-14 on the ECU TK command car, which will choose a means of lesion.

The infrared tank sight is intended for accurate guidance to the target and is used as part of the fire management system described below, as well as to examine the target derived from the tank commander by the layer operator. Moreover, the gunner using the touch screen can press the finger on the image to clarify the goal coordinates, which is necessary for the target designation on carefully disguised goals when a computer is required to assist a person.

Since the device is automatically closed by armor, then in the automatic system of continuous search, it is not involved. The only non-electronic optical periscovers on the T-14 are available to the driver and the commander of the tank of the review for driving purposes. For driving Under nightlock, the driver uses the night vision device, as well as the LED headlights of the tank allow you to switch to the mode of the infrared road backlight, so as not to demiss a tank at night. Since the device is automatically closed by a bronorium, then in the automatic system of continuous search, it is not involved.


Complex of circular detection of objectives in infrared and ultraviolet spectra

In the T-14, in addition to optical devices included in the SUO, equipped with six HD-resolution cameras on the tank tower, which allows the crew to observe the situation around the tank of 360 degrees, without leaving it. Cameras are equipped with autonomous nutrition and the system of hydrotreating optics from dust and dirt.

The HD-camera of the circular review is connected to the system of active protection "Afghanit", allowing it:

  • Work when the radar is turned off
  • Avoid activating errors
  • Work in reb
  • Determine the irradiation of the tank with a laser

The video cameras on microbolometers also allow you to find targets in the IR range through the fog and smoke, which is important, taking into account the fact that T-14 is strongly focused on blinding opponents with smoke veins. For example, the T-14, when surrounded by enemy infantry, can put a smoke curtain around himself, having become invisible for grenade launchers, and shoot them from machine-gun installation according to IR devices.


Armat's armament T-14


Fire control system

The fire control system receives data for shelling goals from radio optical means of detecting their coordinates described above. To guide weapons, the tank ballistic calculator also uses the data of the following sensors fixed on the roof of the tank.

  • Own position of the tank from the GLONASS receiver and an inertial navigation system
  • Gyroscopic sensors of the corner orientation of the tank in space
  • Sensor direction and wind speed
  • Air temperature and humidity sensor
  • Sensor bending a barrel from heating


T-14 tool armat

The first instances of the tank were equipped with a 125-mm smooth-bore cannon 2A82-1M (in a uninhabited tower, with fully remote digital control), developing a plant No. 9, which can fire in motion. In stock The trunk bending sensor from heating to account in ballistic calculations (fixed in a small container over the barrel). The range of damage to the goals is up to 7000 meters and the rapidity of 10-12 shots per minute. The 2a82 tool possesses at a 17% higher dung energy and 20% greater accuracy than the best NATO tool on the leopard-2 tank. The peculiarity of the 2A82 charging machine is the ability to shoot long ammunition up to 1 meter long, which is critical for pyline armor-piercing shells of increased power, such as Vacuum-1 similar to the M829A3 for Abrams. Taking into account the fact that the most likely T-14 will be practically applied in local wars against old tanks of the third world countries, then, most likely, 2A82-1m will remain the main gun at the expense of the advantage of two times larger ammunition in front of other options for caliber of 152-mm which is likely to have a smaller number of instances of T-14.

A 152-mm gun 2A83 will also be installed on the part of Serial instances of T-14. In February 2016, the T-14 military exchanger procedure began, including the version of the tank with 152 mm tools. The 2A83 gun has an armoring of a subcaliber projectile more than 1000 mm, which is knowingly exceeding the reservation of modern tanks, and therefore experts evaluate the tool as excessive and so powerful, among the world's tank guns, 2a82-1m. For comparison, Abrams of the last modification of M1A2 has an equivalent to booking from Bops ~ 900 mm (not to be confused with an equivalent of 1350 mm from the monoblock ptthi). The analysts of the US Defense Ministry in their report note that for 152 mm, the guns are being developed by Rosatom a new armor-piercing sub-caliber projectile from depleted uranium, which allows you to destroy the most strong armored toll. Deputy general Director Uralvagonzavod Corporation Vyacheslav Khalitov also noted that for 152 mm shells often do not require armoring in a classical understanding of the word, since the kinetic energy of the projectile is enough to tear the tower of the enemy tank entirely even without breaking her armor. The speed of the projectile flight is 1980 m / s due to the application of a number of new developments.

The tank can easily be re-equipped with a 152 mm caliber gun, however, a 152-mm gun has a lack of smaller ammunition compared to 125-mm, however, it is possible to use a fun niche for the transport of additional ammunition.

T-14 Armaty with 152 mm gun


The initial well-known regular shells of the "Griffel" family for guns 2A83 like any armor-pierced flippered shells were uncontrollable. However, since the 152-mm gun 2a83 was developed on the basis of guns 2A65, the modification of which is used in heavy SAU 2C19 "Msta-C", then part of the experts suggested the possibility of using managed shells from Msta-from type "Krasnopol". Lion Romanov noted that if managed shells were created for T-14, they will, unlike "Krasnopol", radio-controlled, taking into account the presence of RLS on T-14. In general, the idea that the T-14 will be with a 152-mm gun and manageable shells are available for combat application scenarios, rather reminiscent SAU, supports Viktor Murakhovsky, indicating the effectiveness of combating infantry due to fragantive-fugasal shells with a remote undermining above its position, And calls T-14 in such a scenario "Tank Fire Support". Designers "Uralvagonzavod" also note that the T-14 with a 152 mm gun turns into some hybrid of the tank and self-propelled artillery installation, so they call this version of T-14 not a tank, but a "combat artillery machine" (BAM).


The assumptions of experts on the presence of managed shells for the T-14 were also confirmed by the statement of the NTIM Specialized Design Bureau, which reported the launch of the "trajectory" test complex of new 152-mm projectiles for T-14 and SAU "Coalition-SV", but developers refuse to inform them accurate TTX, noting only that these ammunition will have the means of circumventing prospective air defense facilities that can shoot down shells, and will also be able to bypass the means of counteracting EBE interference, which indicates that this ammunition is not designed for tank duels, but on the defeat of highly stored objects like anti-namic rocket complexes or command items that were in reach of T-14 with tank breakthroughs. Judging by the disclosure of data on the manufacturer's website, controlled T-14 projectiles will be corrected active reactive, since the "trajectory" intended for observing the reactive engines of active-reactive shells. Active reactive shells are highly distinguished by a large range, judging by the fact that the test shooting T-14 controlled projectiles are conducted at the landfill, refurbished for them for the distances of 30-50 km, then it is probably a radius of the action of this high-precision ammunition.


Rocket Arms T-14 "Armat"

Like its predecessors, the T-14 will be able to launch missiles through the trunk of the gun using the following version rocket complex "Reflex-M". The presence of t-14 shooting ability to be managed missiles confirms the report of experts from the US Defense Journal OE Watch.

Viktor Murakhovsky also notes that the caliber of 152 mm coincides with the ptur "Cornet" and allows the use of its rockets that have twice as long as 10 km versus 5 km) and armority (1400 mm versus 850 mm) than a 125 mm rocket " Reflex-M. Also in the nomenclature "Cornet" includes a 12M133FM-3 air defense missile, which is significantly superior to INVAR PVA Rocket for Reflex-M, which, although it can hit the hanging helicopter, but the range of 9M133FM-3 is two times higher (10 km) and The main thing is that this rocket is specially designed to defeat air targets at an altitude of up to 9 km and aircraft with speeds up to 900 km / h. Many domestic experts taking 152 mm caliber precisely because of the ability to run anti-aircraft missiles and perform air defense functions.

It should be noted that the critical need to be implemented in the T-14 launch of 152 mm missiles is not, since the T-14 tank is designed to work in the tactical group with a heavy BMP T-15, which is already armed with the Kornet Court and more effectively in the shelling of air targets from His anti-aircraft gun.

Machine-gun armament

Machine gun weapons are an anti-aircraft installation with a "Cord" machine gun, controlled by remotely commander or anesther, and a paired with a Pects-instrument. The anti-aircraft machine gun "Cord" is mounted in its own robotic tower, integrated with an AFAR-radar of a tank, thermal imagers and is able to affect the distance to 1500 meters even high-speed targets, therefore, in addition to the air defense function, integrated into a set of active protection of the tank.


Booking Towers

Presumably booking T-14 tower consists of the main booking and anti-skid casing, the instruments on the tower are between the booking layers. The casing protects the tank devices and from fragmentation, fuzasny and bullet damage, and is also used to reduce radarity against the most perfect anti-radar guidance in various frequency bands. In addition, the casing of the tower, performing the "Faraday cell" function, is one of the means to provide the declared sustainability of instruments to the electromagnetic pulse. The casing is collapsible with the help of latches, which allows you to get quick access to the instruments under it for repair and maintenance purposes. Part of the equipment on the tower as Overview Radars KAZ can be quickly replaced in hiking conditions without disassembling the casing of the tower through exhaust plastic cables.

In the T-14, it was probably stored part of the ammunition in the aft of the tower like Leopard-2 and Merkawa, which makes it possible to throw off the explosive wave in the detonation of the amachable panels without serious tank destruction, and also additionally cover the MTO separation from the PTS attackers in Roof tank. It is possible that the reserve of long BOPS of the increased power of "Vacuum-1" is kept in the aft of the tower, which due to the meter length can not be placed in the floor carousel with other projectiles. Sources confirm that in the stern part of the T-14 tower there is a spare ammunition for a machine gun. At the same time it states that there is a special robot recharging machine gun this ammunition without the need for a crew to leave the tank.

A certain idea of \u200b\u200bthe main booking of the T-14 tower on the casing can be given the analysis of the first experiments with uninhabited towers as "object 477" The exact device of the tower under the casing in the details is classified, however, experts offer various visualization options based on their assumptions.

Booking housing

T-14 uses general elements of passive booking for the Armatian platform:

The mixing system of exhaust with cold air and imitation of exhaust holes for disorientation of the Ptur with IR GSN as Javelin


Engine and active suspension

T-14 uses motor and active suspension for the Armatian platform with the following characteristics.

  • Engine with automatic transmission and variable power from 1200 to 1800 hp Provides a movement up to 90 km / h and travel range up to 500 km
  • The active suspension provides a cardinal reduction in the swinging of the tank on the go, which increases the accuracy of shooting on the go and the speed of movement
  • rough terrain
  • Bius tank controls the engine, transmission and active suspension devices automatically making solutions for tank maintenance and giving voice crew


Comparison of T-14 "Armat" with other tanks

When comparing T-14 with NATO tanks, it should be noted that the General Analytical Agency FMSO under the US Department of Defense in its report notes that the T-14 is the next generation tank relative to existing ones. As the FMSO Charles Bartlez analyst notes in this report, T-14 has a number of advantages over the existing NATO tanks: a long-range radar, an active suspension, increasing the speed and accuracy of the tank firing, frontal armor, impedable modern rockets and projectiles, as well as the active protection system capable of intercepting even shells.

Currently, with a regular system of an active protection complex equipped with an Afar radar with a function of automatically calculating the position of the tank of a rocket or projectile, only two tanks in the world are supplied: T-14 and Israeli Tank Mercave. Although the frontal armor of Mercave is weaker than that of the T-14, but the engine located in front of the tank guarantees the crew protection, however, the price of loss of tank mobility. Active protection of both mercays and other promising NATO tanks are not able to reflect shells.

The opinion of the Officers of the General Staff of Great Britain, that the main combat tank Challenger 2 cannot punch the T-14 protection to its gun and therefore needs to be replaced.

The Die Welt newspaper published information from the conclusion of the FRG Ministry of Defense about the need for urgent replacement of Leopard 2 due to the advent of the T-14 reappearance, which led to the creation of a Franco-German United Tank Concern. The press reports that the main motive of the concerns of the German military coincides with British, namely the inability of Leopard 2 to test the protection of T-14.

Chinese tank beaders claim that their VT-4 exceeds the Armathat T-14, but as an argument put forward the assumption that their transmission realization is better. At the same time, the PRC government has shown interest in purchasing T-14.

According to the Polish media, the T-14 in its combat power surpasses all the world-existing tanks.

It should be noted that the T-14 comparison with other tanks is beyond the scope of simply tables with TTX. National Interest magazine in comparison T-14 and Abrams, notes that the T-14 has many protective technologies that are not only in Abramse, but also in any tank in the world. However, the expert believes that after performing modernization, Abrams will be able to affect T-14. The key criterion, the expert considers not even protective or attacking agents T-14 and Abrams, and the ability of the tank to see his opponent earlier, that is, the abilities of radar and stealth technologies, since the one who was able to see the opponent first, according to the expert, and won the battle .

The second key criterion, according to the expert National Interest, is the ability of the military-industrial complex of the Russian Federation to produce a sufficient amount of T-14 in conditions economic crisis. National Interest experts support the well-known economist Rick Smith, who notes that the Pentagon failed with the Future Combat Systems program, trying to create a tank platform, similar to the armat, and spending $ 16.1 billion dollars on research. US military understood that they need 300 billion dollars, and they cannot afford it. However, the cost program of Armati looks, according to Smith, is not so expensive.


The release itself T-14 requires expanding comparison criteria TTH Tankov Due to new technologies in the new generation tank:

  • It is required to take into account not just the speed of the tank on the highway, and the speed of the crossed terrain tank, which due to the active suspension in T-14 reaches 90 km / h, which is a record, and should not seriously suffer the accuracy of shooting from cross-country movement.
  • The presence of Afar radar to detect threats and goals becomes a mandatory attribute of the modern tank.
  • The modern tank should have various stealth technologies in infrared, radio and magnetic bands.
  • The modern tank should have not just a stealth technology as a decrease in visibility, but technology "dynamic signature changes" in infrared, radio and magnetic bands to block the tank recognition systems among interference and traps using the signature library.
  • The modern tank must have automatic production tools not just flue veins, which are transparent in the IR and radio band, and the automatic formulation of multispectral curtains are non-transparent in the infrared and millimeter range.
  • It is not just necessary for the presence of a set of active protection, and the ability to actively protect the ability to reflect not only rocket attacks, but also knock down the pyline armor-piercing shells.
  • It is not just necessary. zenith machine gun, and high-precision robotic anti-aircraft installation, able to shoot down including rockets and even shells according to Afar Radar.
  • The modern tank must be equipped with electromagnetic weapons at least against rockets.
  • The windshield booking of the tank should exceed 1000 mm equivalent.
  • Dynamic reservation of the tank should be actually invulnerable to manual grenade launchers and with a high probability to reflect the attacks with heavy anti-tank missiles with tandem combat parts.
  • The tower of the modern tank should require not just breaking through armor, but serious destruction to remove the tower. Ammunition designed for the defeat and arrow with small fragments in the tower must be ineffective against the modern tank.

Procurement of T-14 "Armat" for the Army of Russia

The manufacturer stated that as of 2015, the cost of the tank is 250 million rubles. Due to the fall of the ruble exchange rate and the use of components of Russian origin T-14, despite the more powerful equipment than the Western tanks, it costs 1.5-2 times cheaper. According to Oleg Sienko's director of Uralvagonzavod, the company received an order for the manufacture of 2300 copies of T-14 to 2020, but in the event of a reduction in the military budget of the Russian Federation, the plan can be expanded until 2025. According to the expert Viktor Murakhovsky, the financing of the T-14 project will be a priority for the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, even to the detriment of other projects, as it is obvious that possible local warsIn which Russia can take part, will be the nature of the land battles at its borders.

Analysts of the US Defense FMSO are supported by the US FMSO analysts, which indicate a multiple mention in the analytical statement of the State Arms Program of the Russian Federation on the effectiveness of the procurement of arms issued for the public council under the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and the Scientific Expert Council at the Committee State Duma The Russian Federation for defense, analyzes of lessons from armed conflict in the east of Ukraine with conclusions about the need for mass purchases of T-14 tanks. It is assumed that "the deployment of mass purchases of the brigade kits" Armat "should be one of the main directions of the state program of arms program of the Russian Federation ... Platform" Armat "as providing high-quality superiority over any modern tank should be considered as an absolutely priority program for supplying and purchases." At the same time, with the lack of budget of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation, it is proposed to aggressively increase procurement ground armsAt the same time reducing the purchasing of the Navy, including the new APL "ash-M", aircraft carriers, any analogues of the Mistral BDK and others.

In April 2016, the media reported to order a limited batch in the amount of 100 tanks for military testing. The battery of 100 tested tanks will allow you to detect possible flaws, as well as provide engineers to improve some characteristics. Already, the military nominate the requirements for the engine strengthening to 1500 l / s and an increase in gun caliber to 152 mm. In the future, it is possible to create a tank-robot tank, acting without accommodation in it.


Export

The export of tanks on the basis of Armata is possible after meeting the needs of the state defense order. Uralvagonzavod said that to obtain permission to export T-14 from it in the future, a vulture of secrecy will be removed.

Interest in the tank showed India, China, Egypt and the countries of Southeast Asia.

Possible purchase of India 1000 T-14 tanks. The Thailand Ministry of Defense is considering the purchase of T-14 in connection with the termination of the contract for the purchase of the Ukrainian Tank "Oplot", but the T-90C will be most likely to be purchased, since the military Thailand is looking for suggestions in the lower price category Tanks.

National Interest, interviewing experts, received a positive conclusion about the export prospects of T-14 at the following argumentation:

  • The modularity of the reinforcement allows you to quickly create different export configurations T-14 for the specific needs of different customers, flexibly vary the price in various equipment and provide customers with rich upgrade prospects
  • The emphasis on the crew will certainly attract the military as customers
  • Own Chinese and Indian tanks are in fact only the modernization of the tanks of the 1980s and new models of modernization cause complaints from the military among the reliability and combat capability.

Inside the T-14 of Armat



In 2010, the Ministry of Defense reported the termination of the 17-year-old works on the T-95 tank, which was planned to make the main car of tank troops Russian Federation. Despite long years Developments and spent billions, new T-95 and did not approach serial production. It was decided to abandon unpromising development and start absolutely new project, called "Armat".

Although the designers who were engaged in the development of T-95 tank was tasked to establish mass production by 2015, the newest Tank "Armat" still did not go to the series, and is released only in single copies that can be seen on May 9 at the parade. I would like to believe that the JSC "SPC" Uralvagonzavod "will not continue to release the tradition of T-95 and T-14" Armata "will not develop for 17 years.

By latest informationThe T-14 Tank "Armat" should be on conveyor production until 2020, and the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will receive 2,300 such machines.

Since the characteristics of the new tank T-14 "Armat" are superior to all other analogues, the Ministry of Defense Waiting for the novelty refused to buy T-90 tanks. While renewal of armored vehicles are limited to the deep modernization of T-72 tank, which is considered the best combat machine of the end of the 20th century. OJSC NPK Uralvagonzavod received a contract for deep modernization T-72, the price of this issue amounted to more than 6 billion rubles. However, T-14 tests are in full swing, so tankers hope to get new generation models in the next couple of years.

The main characteristics and goals of creating a tank T-14 "Armat"

All technical information that is associated with the development of the newest T-14 T-14 T-14 is strictly classified. Nevertheless, analyzing various open sources, it can be understood that it is a new platform "Armat", on which it is planned to produce not only the T-14 tank, but also a whole series of various military vehicles. Project characteristics can also be found in open sources.

The "Armat" platform is the newest tracked platform for Russian development (4 generations). At this platform, the plant plans to release the following technique:

  • Combat tank T-14, which is a priority military machine;
  • New infantry combat machine;
  • Special combat machine support for tank troops;
  • Repair machine, equipped with armor;
  • Various tracked chassis for artillery installations and the like.

The "Armat" platform is perfect for cars, the mass of which is between 30 to 65 tons. The goal of creating a new platform consisted not only in the release of the newest tank that does not have world analogues, and also in the unification of all military armored vehicles on a single platform. Unification should be as fully as possible, and include such uniform items:

  • Platform;
  • Engine and transmission;
  • Electrical equipment;
  • Running part;
  • Management bodies;
  • Life support systems.

Such unification is not found in any army of the world, so the Ministry of Defense made rates on this platform. The platform itself can be made in 3 engine layout and transmission options:

  • Front location;
  • Central;
  • Rear.

Challenges do not depend on the layout motor compartmentBut it helps to accommodate any special equipment or weapons on the chassis.

The platform suspension is controlled by blade shock absorbers has 7 rinks on each side and a 12-step automatic transmission that can work in manual mode.

Controls include:

  • Steering;
  • Brake and gas pedals;
  • Gear shift lever.

The "Armat" tank is planned to equip the "digital board" system. This system It is a powerful on-board computer capable of not only to determine the breakdown, but also use the protection, launch, diagnostics and adjustment functions. This system is collected on the basis of Russian production and involves the latest digital technologies.

The "Armat" tank will be able to be managed not only by the crew. The system of complete remote control was laid and implemented in its design. This system closely brought the "Armat" tank to robotic technique, which can participate in combat operations without a crew. Full robotization is not yet achieved, because it is impossible to create an artificial intelligence that can independently make solutions in battle.

The problem of remote control is the evacuation of the tank from the battlefield in the event of a crew loss or loss by the crew of control over the control of the tank.

From detonation, the ammunition protects the special module, which will help preserve the ammone's enemy shell in the housing.

T-14 tank will shoot not only by traditional shells (fragantive-fugasic, cumulative or armor-pylon-picaliber), but also several types of missiles:

  • Manageable land-land missiles, which are equipped with infrared and satellite guidance systems;
  • Common anti-aircraft missiles of the "earth-air" class.

Shooting various types Rocket turns the tank into a multifunctional military complex that can perform various combat missions:

  • Launch tactical missiles;
  • Serve as a mobile air defense system;
  • Act as an intelligence army complex (thanks to the latest radio communications and observation systems);
  • Perform tasks that traditionally perform ordinary tanks.

A group of such tanks is capable of promptly responding to a change in the combat situation and effectively solve them.

The total mass of the "Armat" tank is more than 50 tons, although other indicators are found in different sources. The rate that the T-14 tank engine is capable of developing can reach 90 km per hour along the highway.

Newest Surveillance Systems Tank "Armat"

All the tanks of the series "Armat" are equipped with a unique software and technical complex (PTK) radio communications. This complex allows you to communicate with the crews of tanks and act as a single crew, promptly reacting to changes in the combat situation. Thanks to this complex, the tank commander can see the entire environment in real time, to quickly process information and together with the crews of the tanks of the same class to solve combat missions. In addition to the "Armat" tanks, the software and technical complex it is planned to equip other models of tanks and military equipment.

In the case of the tank, a variety of camcorders are mounted, which allow you to track the entire setting around the tank. If necessary, it is possible to enable the mode of transfocation, thermal imaging and infrared mode, which allow for an overview at any time of the day, with any weather.

Antenna grid can perform two main functions:

  • Apply in the system of control of the combat power of the tank;
  • Used in a security complex in which it will determine the parameters and coordinates of a possible threat.

This system is unique, and its features hold on to the secrecy.

Armor of the new Tank "Armat"

The T-14 Tank Armor is made of the newest armor steel brand 44C-SV-sh. This steel created engineers of the Research Institute of Steel Steel OJSC specifically for the new tank. This steel will be able to significantly reduce the total weight of the "Armat" tank, while the total strength will not suffer. New steel has a wide range of properties, so it will be used not only as armor, but also as elements of a tank frame.

Although the hardness of the new steel has become above older samples. tank armorHer viscosity remains at the same level. This made it possible to reduce the thickness of the armored personnel, which helped to significantly reduce the weight of the tank. A decrease in total weight has a positive effect on the dynamics of the combat vehicle.

The new T-14 Tank Armor is able to withstand direct hit Any modern tank projectile, which only exist in the world. In addition, the armor successfully resists with anti-tank missiles and grenades to 150 caliber.

Engine installed on the "Armat" tank

The engine that is regularly installed on a new tank is a powerful turboporn diesel engine that develops 1,200 forces. His mass is an impressive 5 ton, and the motor was not less than 2,000 hours. It is not necessary to understand it literally, as it can serve much more, just for these indicators the manufacturer swallows 100 percent.

This development of the Chelyabinsk GSKB "Transdizel", which is produced at the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant, exceeds all overseas analogues in its characteristics. It should be especially noted that the engine can be deeply upgraded, the benefit of the opportunity for this. The motor power is forcibly reduced, since nominally, it is 1,500 l. from. This was done in order to increase the engine resource.

The engine that passes under the 12N360 index is a standard and tested motor that has passed all test stages and has long been installed on new models. russian tanks (These 195 facilities were equipped with the same engines, which were not included in the series). On the tests that were conducted in extremely hard modes, this engine has proven perfectly.

The main instrument of the Tank "Armat"

Since the tanks of the T-95 series, which were equipped with guns of a 152-mm caliber, were removed from further development, the main tank gun was well-proven by the 205-mm cannon.

This weapon is known under the index 2a46m. The gun has passed several modernizations, and the most latest model Known under the index - 2A46M-5. It has increased accuracy and exceeds a regular model of shooting by 20 percent. In addition, the dispersion during shooting on the go has decreased by 1.7 times. In connection with the use of newest technologies, the last modification of 125-mm cannon is able to fire with hypers of high power.

Since the best tank gun in the world is the gun of the leopard tank, known under the index L 55, on the "Armat" tanks, it was decided to establish a new tool, which would exceed in its parameters L 55.

Back in the distant 2000s, the Russian military industry released the newest tank gun 125-mm, known under the index 2A82. In the fall of 2006, she passed all the tests, based on the results of which it turned out that it in its characteristics exceeds all known tank guns at least 1.2 times.

For the project "Armat", this gun was upgraded by lengthening the barrel by 1 meter. In addition, the newest ammunition was developed specifically for the new tool.

Military technologies do not stand still, and the German military makes a new tool on the basis of L 55, which will work on the principle of electrothermochemical type of throwing. In connection with this military designers, the task is to make a domestic sample of the gun, acting according to a similar principle of throwing. From open sources it is known that work in this direction is being carried out quite successfully, and practical experiments are already carried out, giving positive results.

The newest ammunition for the type 2A82 testers passed the tests in 2013 and were adopted. Produce guns 2A82 at the factory in Yekaterinburg.

After May 9, 2015, it became known that an instrument that was developed for T-95 tank (152-mm gun 2A83) was nowhere and was already ready for the installation of the "Armat" series. It was decided that the new Armatian tanks, which will be released after 2015, will be equipped with a 152-mm tool, which is more powerful and promising. Only the pressure of powder gases in the trunk of a new cannon can reach 7,700 atmospheres, which is more than two times greater than these indicators from the rest of modern tank guns.

Tank machine guns T-14 "Armat"

The main gun, which is mounted on the tank "Armata" - a 7.62-mm caliber weapon (PKTM -6P7K) that connects the drive to the main instrument. The machine gun is placed on pastels. Its ammunition is 1,000 cartridges, in addition, an additional stock in the tapes is kept on the stern of the tank tank. An additional ammunition is also 1,000 rounds.

In addition to the main machine gun, an additional "Cord" machine gun is installed on the "Armat" tank, which is synchronized with the commander's panorama. It is able to fully monitor the stabilization of the mirror vertically and rotate the horizon. His ammunition is not so impressive as the main machine gun, and is 300 pieces of cartridges. ZIP for this machine gun is stored next to an additional ammunition for the main machine gun - on the stern of the tank tower in the drawer.

T-14 System Protection System T-14 "Armat"

The protective system of the "Armat" tank is represented by a four-level protective complex, each of the levels of which is responsible for its tasks:

  • All defenses of the first level have a common task that is expressed in the masking of the combat vehicle. This uses the latest GALS technologies that are directly related to the tank coating. special composition. This coating creates a reflective effect, which makes the machine imperceptible for enemy radar complexes. Tank almost impossible to move, using optical, radar and infrared search technologies;
  • Second-level protection is an active protection system that can detect and destroy all projectiles and enemy rockets that directly threaten the tank. This system is able to protect the car even from air strikes;
  • The third level of protection destroys those shells and rockets that were somehow able to overcome the first two levels of the protective system;
  • The task of the fourth level of protection is to directly track the state of the tank and its crew.

Active Protection Complex "Afghanit"

Active protection complex "Afghanit" is intended for defense of tanks created on the "Armat" platform from shells and enemy rockets that are intended to destroy or damage the combat vehicle. This system is equipped special chargesintended for the direct destruction of enemy shells and rockets. This system is an analogue of individual missile defense defending the tank from most types of standard attacks.

Active protection completely closes the front hemisphere and the entire perimeter of the tank tower. It is located at various levels, which helps to provide a better response of the system in case of danger.

New active protection systems are currently being developed, which in the future plan to establish the Armatian platform combat vehicles. New systems will have such a quick reaction to intercept even high-speed kinetic rockets at a distance of at least 4 meters from the tank. From this it follows that no projectile or rocket, flush into the radius of the protective complex of the tank, will not be able to harm it.

Dynamic system protection system "Armat"

The dynamic protection of the "Armat" tank consists of special blocks, some of them are installed on the tank before direct participation in hostilities. Blocks are containers that are filled with armor elements. There is a special filler between them, the task of which is to delay the shell fragments that will be able to break through the active protection system. These blocks in containers are constantly, but if they are damaged, they can be replaced with new ones.

Dynamic containers are placed on the following elements of the tank:

  • On each side of the tower, 3 protective blocks are installed, which are constantly installed, but equipped with elements of protection only before the fight;
  • The tumor shelves also protect the dynamic protection blocks. On each side they are hung in the amount of 7 pieces. In its design, these blocks are no different from the blocks located on the tower;
  • The front of the tank case is also protected by removable blocks;
  • The feed of the tank is protected by lattice screens.

The total weight of the protective blocks is 1 ton, but since it is installed before the fight, then it does not affect the car dynamics.

Aiming tank complex T-14 "Armat"

The target complex of the "Armat" tank consists of the following elements:

  • The main multichannel target trance, which is equipped with a laser rangefinder and built-in laser control channel. In addition, the sight is of sight and thermal imaging channels. The maximum range that the gunner recognizes is 7,500 meters. In the afternoon, it is able to recognize another tank at a distance of up to 5,000 meters, and at night up to 3,500 meters;
  • Commander sight;
  • Ballistic calculator, which is equipped with a whole complex of various semeteodators and top-conditions sensors. Also, the ballistic calculator is equipped with trunk accounting sensors;
  • A stabilizer of weapons, which is equipped with two types of drives - electromechanical and electro-hydraulic.

Any target can be automatically accompanied by both the place of the gunner and the place of the commander, thereby using the "Hunter-shooter" mode.

All surveillance devices installed on the T-14 tank "Armat" are cleaned due to the special hydrochlorine cleaning system.

Although the mass production of tanks on the Platform "Armat" is under a big question, still by 2020 they must enact massively Tank forces Russian Federation. The introduction of tanks of the latest development will not only raise armored troops to a new level, but also will allow you to revise all tactics of the use of tanks on the battlefield.

How are things with the release of T-14 today?

T-14 "Armat"

Back in March 2017 due to heavy financial RegulationsIn which the enterprise led by him, Oleg Sienko's powers were terminated early. And the number of T-14 tanks built here is no longer thousands yet, but just a few dozens of cars. 12 tanks numbered in the first pilot-industrial party (they passed on Red Square in 2015), after that another hundred tanks were ordered for "military testing".

In 2017, Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin stated that T-14 T-14 Testing T-14 will end in 2018, and since next 2019, its experimental and military operation will begin (for this, apparently, the aforementioned party from hundreds tanks). Later, in February 2018, Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation Yuri Borisov (from March 2018, the Deputy Prime Minister for Defense and Industrial Affairs) confirmed that the Ministry of Defense had a supply contract for testing two T-14 tank battalions. More detailed information was voiced in the speech of Deputy Defense Minister Alexei Krivoruchko at the forum "Army 2018": "... today signed a contract on 132 cars T-14 and T-15. We will get the first nine cars already this year, serial cars. Until the end of 2021, the contract will be executed. "

T-14 "Armat"

This means that by 2022 Russian army There will be only about a hundred T-14 at its disposal, and, accordingly, about thousands of "Armat" speech no longer. These tanks are likely to be directed to one of the heavy brigades (b) in which the states are even supposed to have tanks on the heavy platform "Armat" (73 units) and heavy BMP.

The time freezing of the start of the larger production of T-14 is confirmed by other statements responsible for the "defense", who noted that the T-14 "Armat" tank is "too expensive for mass purchases." So on July 30, 2018, the Deputy Prime Minister of Defense and Industrial Affairs Yury Borisov noted: "The Russian army does not experience great needs in the" Armat "tanks, and current needs are closed by modernizing the existing military equipment ... We have no special need for this, these Models are quite expensive in relation to existing ones. ... if the existing armored vehicles, in particular, updated T-72, inferior to a potential enemy, we would promote the purchase of new weapons. But they are not inferior, and therefore buying something there is no need. "

As for the value of T-14, then the exact numbers are still not natural. According to the general director of Uralvagonzavoda, Oleg Sienko, referring to 2015, the cost of one T-14 T-14 "Armat" was a little more than 250 million rubles (at the then rate of about $ 3.7 million), although some experts were assessed by 8 million million dollars on later information The cost of the "Armat" tank should be about 4 million dollars (this is 2 million cheaper than, for example, it costs German
Leopard or Israeli Tank "Merkawa", and the French "Leclerk" is generally drawn by $ 8.5 million), but the military was calculated to reduce the cost of T-14 tanks by 2020.

T-14 "Armat"

IN last month The media is quite animatedly discussed by the theme of the possible supply of T-14 for exports. As reported by the Indian news edition "The Economic Times", India is considering the possibility of purchasing T-14 T-14 tanks, to replace the outdated T-72 modifications under the Multipurpose Future Ready Combat Vehicles program. At the same time, the voiced amount of the likely agreement of 4.5 billion dollars (with an approximate volume of 1770 tanks), indicates that the information on the export of "Armatians" is unlikely to correspond to reality. If you believe the information of the Indian media, for one tank Delhi plans to pay a little more than 2.5 million dollars, while even on domestic market The price of "Armat" exceeds $ 3.7-4 million.

23:03 - REGNUM according to the latest deputy prime minister Yuri Borisov, The Armed Forces of Russia will not massively get the new generation armored vehicles - T-14 tanks based on the heavy tracked platform "Armat" and armored personnel carriers (BTR) on the Bomerrang wheel platform. Instead, in order to save funds, it is planned to continue the modernization of the existing Soviet armored vehicles. How much is this approach?

Grand rearmament plans faced the economic crisis

For the first time, the land technique of the new generation was officially demonstrated at the Victory Parade in 2015, while the development of these machines began noticeably earlier than 2014 (to the economic crisis caused by the fall in oil prices and anti-Russian sanctions). Then the T-14 tanks and the infantry combat vehicles (BMP) T-15 were held on the block of Red Square (BMP) T-15 on the basis of the heavy tracked platform "Armat", infantry combat vehicles on the basis of the Middle Crawler platform "Kurganz-25", armored personnel carriers based on the wheel platform "Boomerang "And 152 mm self-propelled artillery Installations (SAU) "Coalition-SV".

In the future, this truly promising and modern armored vehicles were regularly demonstrated on victory parades in Moscow. In addition, it passes military tests, and on the same T-14 tank there is already a contract - it is planned to supply the first series of 100 cars. Now it becomes a question whether this contract will be executed. As for the plans that had earlier, it was also the need to supply 2000 T-14 tanks.

The main argument in favor of reducing the procurement of new technology is the economy of the budget, because the same T-14 is more expensive than the T-90 even in the last modification, and even more expensive than the package of modernization of Soviet T-72 tanks to T-72B3 or T- 72B3m. Another argument that Borisov leads is the absence of probable opponents of tanks superior to the possibilities of modernized T-72.

To some extent you can agree with this, but only partly. For example, the modernization of the T-72 does not include the installation of an active protection complex (Kaz), and this is one of the main directions of the development of armored vehicles. These systems are able to detect and shoot down the ammunition flying towards the tank. For example, the Israeli tanks Merkava MK.4 have long been equipped with Trophy Kazakh Kaz, which showed itself well enough when dealing with grenade launches and anti-tank manageable rockets. The T-14 is also equipped with a CAZ system having the name "Afghanit". The real results of the tests of "Afghanita" are unknown to the general public, but, according to official information, it is able to shoot down even the armor-piercing flipper shells (BOPS) - the main weapon of the enemy tanks. More none of the famous systems is able to fight such ammunition.

It must be said that it is such an advanced electronics and sensors to greatly increase the cost of T-14, and their installation on the same modernized T-72 will greatly raise the cost of the upgrade packages. However, the establishment of the thing is the necessary, especially considering the fact that Russia is actually participating only in local conflicts, where the crew survival plays a key role, and the huge number of armored vehicles do not need.

What is the best way?

A complete refusal to T-14 tank and other promising land weapons are fundamentally incorrect. First, there were a lot of time and money on their development. Secondly, in terms of such categories such as BMP and BTR, Russia has a serious lag. The Russian army mainly applies Soviet BMP-1 and BMP-2, which in terms of weapons, and especially protection, strongly outdated. BMP-3 also have protection problems, and in general, much less convenient for use by motorized rifles than western Analogues. It is the new samples of BMP and BTRs are able to solve this problem - even though they have large dimensions (according to some specialists, they become more noticeable for the enemy, which becomes less relevant in the eyelids of drone and other modern intelligence systems), but due to this is ensured noticeably the best level Protection and ergonomics. The modernization of the BMP-1 available to the level of "Basurmann" and BMP-2 with the installation of the "Beretta" module only partially solves the problem - the vehicle protected is still low. The same can be said about the modernization of BTR-80.

At the same time, from the modernization of a huge park, armored vehicles should not be refused in any case, however, to have a fairly significant number of new modern armored vehicles, which can be used in real local conflicts, the most secuous crews are also necessary. In this sense, it would be worth finding "Golden Mid" - 2000 "Armat" today is really very much for the Russian budget, but it is worthwhile to have 200-300 cars of this type, the same applies to "Kurgan-25" and "Boomeranga". You should not forget about the export potential of these machines - it is unlikely that someone will become unlikely if this will not be done by the Ministry of Defense of Russia. At the same time, the cost of cars is large in Russian realities - in fact, promising cars are close to Western samples of armored vehicles.
