Project "Armata": information "first hand"

77


Several years ago, the development of a promising universal armor platform “Armata” began, on the basis of which it is planned to create a number of new vehicles: the main tank, self-propelled guns, heavy-class infantry fighting vehicles, etc. The Military Review managed to talk with a representative of the defense industry who is directly involved in the Armat project and ask him some questions about the new domestic armored vehicles.

- The “Armata” project attracts the attention of specialists primarily by the fact that it implies the creation of a single platform for equipment of different classes. How did this concept form and why did you start talking about it right now?

- First of all, the project of a single platform is created to facilitate communications with cooperators. It is no secret that after the USSR, these ties were broken, and their restoration takes a lot of manpower and resources. Secondly, a single platform will allow repairs in the shortest possible time, borrowing nodes, units (up to a partial replacement of body parts) from machines that cannot be repaired, or that require repair at the factory. This concept was promoted by engineers from the 80-ies, but the final look takes only now. The concept itself was formed at the junction of the requirements of various departments of the Ministry of Defense, the designs of designers, and the technological capabilities of various enterprises.

- It is clear what benefits the unification of various types of equipment promises. This simplifies the production and maintenance of equipment, simplifies the supply of spare parts, etc. What are the difficulties associated with the development of a universal platform for equipment of different classes?

- The main difficulties are connected with the production potential and technological capabilities of various enterprises. One of the requirements is the minimum re-equipment of existing facilities. The unification of the carrier platform is problematic in that the weapons are too different for all the models, different tactical tasks and, accordingly, different requirements for the performance characteristics.

- It is known that the project of a new armored platform is being developed by the Ural KB of transport engineering. However, the creation of such complex technology is hardly capable of only one organization. What are the KB, institutions and factories involved in the development of promising armored vehicles?

- UKBTM performs only the role of a general contractor. This design bureau has no experience in the development of heavy machinery. The main contractors are more than 20 KB (the list is too long to list it all). The conceptual idea belongs to the former Central Design Bureau "Uraltransmash" together with Omsk KBTM. At the moment, there is an assembly of test samples of the platform in the experimental workshops of UKBTM in Nizhny Tagil.

- The joint work of two dozen organizations is in itself a difficult task. Not easier and mastering the production of new technology. How difficult will it be for our defense industry to build tanks, Self-propelled guns and other armored vehicles based on the Armata platform?

- While no one knows. Judge for yourself, put the 1 combat module and 11 platform kits, or put on stream. With gun systems, nothing is clear yet. Tulyaki put 2 weapons on time. How other systems will be adapted, apart from paper, there is no information yet.

- Tanks, self-propelled guns, infantry fighting vehicles and other vehicles based on the Armata platform should have a great influence on the condition of the ground forces. This influence is primarily related to the characteristics and quantity of the equipment. Will Armata be able to influence the future of the army in any other way, for example, to determine the direction of further development of military equipment?

- There are no orders for T-90A, upgrading T-72 is necessary. The entire tank park Russia will not be able to upgrade in a short time. According to the results of tests T-72 to the project "B3" is necessary. Omsk and partly Nizhny Tagil report on successful modernization. I do not have numbers in number.
My opinion. Of course it can. But I have no right to make plans for the future. We try, we do, but only the operators can judge the finished product. We are ready to accept any comments and make a series of decent machines that determine the future tactics of our army.

- As a direct participant in the creation of the Armat platform and equipment based on it, how do you assess this project and its prospects?

- And how do designer T-50 evaluate? I can say a lot of self-serving words in defense of the project. Engineers are always a few maximalists. Let's see what the military will say about this project, now the testers are not quite happy with the MBT, while extremely restrained feedback on the ACS is so far. Let's talk about some particulars, and not about global issues.

- Everyone who follows new projects of armored vehicles is interested in one simple question: when? Last fall, information appeared about the premiere of the Armata tank at the Russian Arms Expo exhibition, but only the leaders of the country and the Ministry of Defense hit it. Already know when the new tank will show the general public?

- The final fine tuning will take at least another year of 2. All intrigue around “Almaty” is now being created only in order to increase the budget of the project. In reality, the readiness for state tests is no more than 15%. And to show, you must first do. Not a big secret in the appearance of ACS or MBT. Even if you see a photo, you can hardly understand anything. But when there is nothing to show (the platform is not the final product), they begin to impose an aura of secrecy. Themselves are not puzzled by the question, why did the exhibition show only the “Coalition” combat module based on KAMAZ? I can not talk about timing, as Mr. Barabanov. These terms are not known to anyone yet. And you can show anything, but it is not a fact that this machine will go to the troops.

- Yes, there are not many reasons for optimism. And this is in the light of last year's promises to show the new tank at the Victory Parade 2015 of the year.
What are the reasons for such a low rate of work (relative to some promises)? Is it a lack of funding, lack of necessary technologies and developments, or specific requirements for promising technology?


- The project budget is more than sufficient, the development of new technologies is always going on as the project changes, the requirements are set out in the TOR MO. And I can answer the question with the saying of our NITI director: “You tell us either how to do it or what to do. In the first case, get what you want to see, in the second - the finished product for use. " Timing has always been the main enemy of a good product. At the parade can show the technique, but it is not a fact that what they see will come into service.

- As soon as it became known about the new project of the universal platform and a tank based on it, various speculations began to appear on the subject of the technical appearance of this technology. The most widespread, probably, was the version about the widespread use of new ideas for our tank building - non-standard layout of internal volumes, various new systems or a completely new weapons. What platform and tank "Armata" will be different from the existing armored vehicles?

- First of all, the platform on 70% is made on the basis of previously manufactured objects. The platform is unified for all types of armored vehicles (including not only the replacement of units). The layout is brand new. Many technologists have foul language that it’s necessary to “shove in someone else's nevi” (of course it’s indecent to speak to a person with the education of an engineer), at the moment these problems are solved. We are waiting for the new engine (after it is received, the changes will go again). So far, of course, he has not been seen, but it is rumored that this will be a radial-piston pair, for the total of 12 cylinders. Believe me, the car will be great if they do not drive like wedding horses. Armament will depend on the destination. I can’t talk about Kurgan. Just do not own the information. But on the ACS and MBT will be put completely different weapons, and it will not be 2А64. On the "Coalition" provided the gun system with 2C5 "Hyacinth-C". Machines are assembled according to the achievements of gunsmiths and mechanics of past projects.

- Over the past years there have been rumors that the Armata tank will have an uninhabited fighting compartment. Will tankers really be separated from the guns and shells, or will they still have to be located next to them?

- The combat module will indeed be uninhabited. How far the crew will be separated from the ammunition is not clear for a simple reason. At the moment, only the 1 module has been tested, how many changes there will be is not clear. The armored capsule for the crew was originally incorporated into the design.

- It has long been talked about the lack of prospects for 125-mm tank guns. Do the military and the developers of the promising tank project agree with this idea? What should the Armata tank complex look like?

- I do not know why there are no prospects for 125-mm guns. “Rhentmetal” quite successfully puts its 120-mm worldwide. Regarding what there is no future? And who argues about this? In Russia, there is the only production of trunks art. guns. And alteration of it for a new caliber will incur a lot of problems. 152 mm put on the tank is also not an option. This entails an increase in the curb weight, a decrease in the ammunition load, a rather dubious advantage of the MBT on the battlefield, reload speed, transmission resource, rate of fire, problems with the equipment of the MBT from the ground, etc. That is why in the near future there will be no increase in caliber.

- In the summer of 2012, a model of a new armored vehicle was shown at one of the exhibitions, which was immediately calculated by the ACS based on the Armata platform. A year and a half has passed since then. What is the current appearance of promising self-propelled gun?

- “Armata” was originally developed as a promising platform for ACS. I did not see the layout, but most likely this was the layout of “Almaty” with “Coalition”.

- If you compare a promising domestic tank in the form in which it can enter the army with the latest foreign equipment of this class (for example, with the M1A2 Abrams or Leopard 2A7 +), what advantages will it have? What are the advantages over foreign counterparts will have a new self-propelled gun on the basis of "Almaty"?

- I will not undertake to say how one technique is better than another. Any sample technology has its pros and cons. It is really impossible to find out without a direct collision on the battlefield. And no one is going to compare our car. The advantage of SAU and MBT depends on the tasks assigned to the machine and crew, combat conditions, even climate. We make the machine to perform tasks, due to the tactics of using our aircraft.

- And the last question: what, in your opinion, will the Armata project and equipment based on this armored platform give the Russian armed forces?

- This question can only be answered by people who will operate this technique. None of the developers are competent to answer this question. But the refinement will be carried out in accordance with all requirements of the operators.

- Thanks for answers. I think our readers will be interested to get information about the new project “first-hand”.

      New technology is a long business and you should not wait for it right tomorrow. It is worth 1-2 years to forget about armature, now for us the main thing is the t-72, what kind of modernization it needs, as well as the timing of its implementation. Just not the modernization that is now being delivered to the army (a tank in a complete set of homeless people).

        % 2FBattle% 2FChechen% 2FVulner2.gif - this was painted by American specialists for their soldiers (and tested Nokhchi on ours), the de facto engine still protects.
        Now they will begin to tackle the topic, de BMP is not a tank, it doesn’t have de frontal armor (up to modern PBSs) But, there were about the same tanks with a transmission in front of the Second World War as with a transmission in the back - remember Sherman, t-4 and other generals and stewarts — and all of him, according to the crew’s reviews, were very convenient in operation, and quite adequate in battle (we read a tanker in a foreign car, carius memoirs, and other literature of the same plan)
        therefore, transmission vulnerability is an excuse.

          I think the tank needs two diesel engines located on the front left and right, between which there is a driver. The armored capsule for the crew is located along the hull (better protection) with access through the hatches and in the stern. The tower is only uninhabited, completely isolated from the crew. Transmission at the rear. The most important thing in the tank is a well-coordinated, competent, trained crew that takes months to prepare, everything else can be repaired or replaced.

            Personally, my opinion is this. The engines on the tank must be electric. Electric motors have a much higher efficiency - about 98% against a maximum of 40 for internal combustion engines. Therefore, while maintaining the previous diesel power, the electric motor can be made much more lightweight and compact. And while maintaining the previous dimensions, you can significantly increase engine power. I also find it interesting to place the entire ammunition in the automatic loader. And put the loader in an uninhabited tower. The gun is certainly a 152 mm caliber. Shells - Hyacinths, not interchangeable with pre-war trash. A 30 mm automatic cannon should be paired with the main gun. In addition to the tank should be extremely rear turret, to reduce the linear dimensions - when hiding in the relief is a very necessary thing. The electric motor and other near-engine nonsense will have to be placed in front to balance the tower. Bronekapsulu - in the middle, with the ability to quickly leave the tank through the side doors and the hatch in the bottom. Gadgets are behind. In addition to placing several additional towers with other weapons, so that there is some specialization of the towers. So, for example, it would be nice to add an ATGM tower and a mortar tower (82-mm!) And a machine-gun tower.

          Not the vulnerability of the transmission, but the vulnerability of the engine - these are not identical concepts. With the front engine position, anyone can stop the tank. A standing tank is doomed, you know.

            engine vulnerability

            You have respected professors ask how much so Merkav stopped.
            In my opinion, it’s somehow easier to break a caterpillar than to break through the frontal armor to damage the engine.
            And how do you prefer the _ failure of the engine or crew?

      Personally, my preferences are as follows - the engine can be anywhere, but the tank should be absolutely rear turret. This will greatly reduce the size, which will be extremely useful during transportation - you will not have to turn the turrets with the gun back. (And for some tanks this is not provided for initially)

    The platform is unified for all types of armored vehicles (including not only the replacement of units). The layout is brand new. Many technologists were obscene that it was necessary to “cram the unapproachable” (of course it’s indecent to say such things to a person with the education of an engineer), at the moment these problems have been solved.

    1. What types of armored vehicles except the BMP were not based on the t-72 and they were not unified by units and assemblies?
    2. "Push" as I understand it, the conversation was about the self-propelled gun, so on the T-72 and T-90 they pushed what's the point?
    The combat module will indeed be uninhabited. How far the crew will be separated from the ammunition depot is not yet clear for a simple reason. At the moment, only 1 test module has been delivered; how many changes will be in it is not clear. The armored capsule for the crew has already been incorporated into the design.

    Why is it incomprehensible? It has long been stated in the MBT engine at the rear means:
    1. Frontal armor
    2. Crew in an armored capsule
    3. Az
    4. The engine.
    And the crew, in the event of a loss in vehicle travel, again jumps chest forward onto the armor. Everything is very clear.
    The project budget is more than adequate

    The grand drank dough.
    Instead of bringing to mind the t-80 with a more sane chassis than the t-72.
    It’s not known how long the T-72 is in the army with the hope of releasing 2000 thousand wunderwafles.

        Not at all. This flag near Nick probably confused you.
        Let's just say that I meant:
        a) Modernization of the T-80 to the side:
        - replacement of the MOH by AZ (at one time, by the way, there was a choice), by the way, in B3, the replacement of one AZ with another occurs;
        - Installation of more modern DZ;
        - Installing at least a set of B3 due to a more powerful commander’s sight, the car would be much more efficient;
        - By the way there are rumors that the towers from the decommissioned T-80UD were installed on buildings with a gas turbine engine, and so there should have been a managed ROM.
        b) Possibility of 2 engines.
        In addition, on the basis of the t-80, the same sau are more preferable shock absorbers of higher quality.

            At the abrams, they replace the turbine with a new diesel. Yes, and on civilian engineering that GTD is not visible. The complexity and high cost of a gas turbine engine is 3 times higher than a diesel engine, it eats fuel twice. At the same time, there is no compact advantage over a diesel engine due to the huge amount of fuel and filters. But the device for heating a diesel engine is a very real thing is not complicated and not expensive.

              hydropneumatics alone doesn’t work :)))! each roller needs its own oil (or air, depending on type) high-pressure pump ... to understand what it is ...

              You are simply amazingly ignorant.

              Yes, as if twisting over twenty years ... And it’s tank.

              Reread your posts, well, after all, such a definition to the author as SCHOOL itself suggests itself.

              Yes, you do not need anything but an electric wire, everything is inside.
              Therefore, it is called an individual hydropneumatic suspension.

              Anti-aircraft machine gun standard armament of the tank
              I talked about them above. To repel air attacks create
              BM type "Tunguska", to provide air defense of tank columns, for example.
              It’s not necessary to stuff everything into a promising tank, it’s good
              will not end.

              Anti-tank mines are not very powerful.
              They mainly work on the tract and the rink.
              The weight of each mine for mining systems also matters.
              Confused with landmines where several shells explode
              close or under the tank.

              I already talked about the rest, I see no reason to repeat.

    - “Armata” was originally developed as a promising platform for ACS. I did not see the layout, but most likely this was the layout of “Almaty” with “Coalition”.

    again, continuous fog and no specifics (((((
    generally incomprehensible phrase "" Armata "was originally developed as a promising platform for ACS."
    Why self-propelled guns, protivosnaryadny booking?
    if, initially, Armata was developed as an assault gun, with anti-shell armor and a cal. 152 mm cannon .., that was logical !!!!

    Everything is just like a Columbus egg! Nonsense about the fact that Armata was originally developed for the ACS was blurted out by the Mechanic, and according to the style of the letter given by the "interview" and the flattering reviews about the progress of work that the interviewee gives out - there is no doubt that this article is another nonsense of the Mechanic or some other unhealthy "involved "to the development of Armata. By a million percent I affirm that the author and his "source" from the design bureau do not have ANY relation to Armat.

    Indeed, why drive horses, we and not so bad life! Money. they allocate for development, we successfully lay them in our pockets, but we don’t know what we will ultimately create! So, everything was just fine, as usual, they wanted the best, but it turned out, as always! behind a veil of secrecy, it’s very good to hide all your shortcomings, or even the absence of any results! I do not understand one simple thought. Every technique. There are a number of specific tasks for which it is being developed. Accordingly, both its protection and weight characteristics must correspond to precisely these conditions! It turns out that in one case. They try to shove it not into the shoved, and rejoice that it succeeded, but that what they shoved will not work is not important! Now the army refuses to buy the T-90, explaining that there will be an “Armata”, and therefore, the most massive tank in the units remains the T-72 and T-80, albeit in different modifications, the T-90 looks good on exhibitions, but here in the army, there are not so many of them, so rearmament stalled at full speed, instead. just words, and leaching money from the budget! We will create this for you that everyone will gasp, but only when we ourselves do not know. But everyone will be jealous, maybe, or fall from laughter!
