T-14 Armata. Waiting for the start of serial deliveries to the RF Armed Forces

More than a year has passed since the parade in honor of the 70th anniversary of Victory in the Great Patriotic War. It was then - on May 9, 2015, when passing through Red Square for the first time that the latest Russian Tanks T-14 Armata, the appearance of which aroused a truly great interest, and not only in Russia. Immediately after the first official appearance of the latest tanks, a discussion began about how much the Russian Ministry of Defense was ready to purchase for tank units, and how much such purchases would cost the treasury of the main defense department.

The intensity of the issue was also raised due to the fact that initially more than the impressive price of the Armata T-14 tanker - 500 million rubles was voiced. And after the appearance of such figures in the press and after the statements, including the official representatives of the manufacturer ("UVZ"), the number of skeptics who have declared that with all the stated qualities and characteristics of the new Russian tank, these qualities and characteristics are set off by astronomical prices.

The discussion of the half-billion price of the T-14 was very active. And the more active there was, the more often conspiracy statements were made that the Defense Ministry could restrict itself to the small Armat party, focusing more on the purchase of T-90 or upgraded T-72 (up to T-72B3).

Six months ago, 25 January 2016, official representatives of the UralVagonZavod published materials that talked about the real price of the Armata T-14 tank. Then it turned out that this price is about 250 million rubles. That is, already two times lower than the conspiracy values ​​of the earlier information period. At the then exchange rate of 250 million rubles - about 3,5 million dollars, at the current rate - about $ 3,85 million.

The announced price makes the T-14 "Armata" the definitive leader in the combination of "price-declared characteristics" among all modern tanks in the world. For comparison, the Russian T-14 is about 2 times cheaper than the German Leopard-2, 2,2-2,3 times cheaper than the American Abrams M1A2SEP and almost three times cheaper than the French “golden» AMX-56 Leclerc. Let's compare T-14 “Armata” at the price with the total Israeli pride - tank Merkava Mk4 (about 4,2-4,5 million dollars together with Trophy active protection complex). However, by and large, all these foreign tanks can hardly be attributed to fully modern (tanks of the new generation). The same Merkava Mk4 comes into service with the Israeli army for about 12 years.

Merkava Mk4

But it is one thing to compare the price characteristics of the Russian T-14 “Armata” with foreign “analogues” (if the term “analog” in this case is generally allowed to be used), and it is quite another thing to evaluate the real purchasing power of the Russian Ministry of Defense, taking into account the known economic difficulties with which country faced in recent years.

Recent statements by individual representatives of the information community and even the country's main defense department about the fact that, they say, at this stage it is quite possible to get along with a couple of hundreds of modernized T-72, and only then think about buying T-14, caused some anxiety. On the one hand, the tank has already been demonstrated, including its capabilities for firing and hitting targets, on the other hand, the price is still quite high by internal standards, preventing the Armata’s active purchase of the T-14 for the Armed Forces.

The latest information from the representatives of UralVagonZavod is that at the moment there is a search for a compromise connected with the procurement of a certain number of new tanks by the RF Ministry of Defense. This kind of compromise translates into a decision to acquire the original party of the “experienced” Armat. This party, according to some data, is several dozen units, tests of individual armored vehicles are already underway. From 2017 of the year it is planned to begin mass purchases and on the basis of the compromise voiced - the more actively the Defense Ministry of the Russian Federation conducts the purchases of T-14, the cheaper the contract can cost in the end.

In total, up to 2025, the Ministry of Defense plans to spend more than 0,6 trillion rubles on the purchase of new tanks. This will allow you to purchase about 2,3 thousands of T-14, including accounting for further maintenance. It turns out that the plans of the main defense department, taking into account the proposal from UralVagonZavod when executed, will allow the fleet of armored vehicles of the Russian Federation to be updated by about a quarter with the T-14 Armata tanks. Serious application, considering the mentioned order also for upgraded T-72 (up to T-72B3).

In principle, “UralVagonZavod” for the implementation of the project remains to fulfill its obligations, the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation - its own. However, for some time now, the project has revealed new pitfalls, which cannot be concealed by definition. 17 October last year, Alfa-Bank filed a bankruptcy claim against the Volgograd metallurgical plant "Red October". It would seem, where does the "Armat"? So after all, this plant is engaged in the production of the very unique armor for the entire line using the Armata platform.

Only since the beginning of 2016, over three dozen lawsuits have been filed against the Volgograd "Red October" for a total amount of 11 billion rubles. Of these 11 billions, Cyprus offshore company Boonvision Ltd. makes claims for 3 billion rubles. The general director of the Volgograd enterprise, Dmitry Gerasimenko, according to some data, is now hiding from Russian justice in Switzerland. In the material RBC at one time it was reported that he considers the fraud amounting to more than 65,5 million euros to him to be fabricated. The criminal case led to the arrest of the assets of the Volgograd Metallurgical Plant, while Mr. Gerasimenko claims that he “will soon pay off the debts” that have accumulated in recent times.

So far, as they say at the UVZ, the supply of special steel for armor T-14 "Armata" go on schedule. At the same time, the presence of obvious financial problems for the “Red October” simply by definition cannot but cause an increase in risks. After all, if the bankruptcy procedure is brought to the end with the reluctance of the owner, working through an offshore structure, to repay debts, then the whole system of special supplies for UVZ may be in doubt. Do not forget that in the coming 8-9 years, “UralVagonZavod” will have to release more than 2 thousands of newest armored vehicles, and any system malfunction can lead to a shift in deadlines and to an increase in the cost of the contract lot. And any appreciation in the current financial conditions - this is an additional blow to the defense. Does Russia still need such strikes? - a rhetorical question ...

Comments

[Slon1978]

The T-14 Armata is definitely a breakthrough in tank building, although IMHO is not without flaws. Confusingly, firstly, the anti-fragmentation external armor of the tower, not anti-bullet, but anti-fragmentation. Under this armored casing of the tower is located expensive electronics - sights, sensors, cameras, wiring, the insides of radars and other systems, which in fact gives the Armata its main technological advantage. At the same time, the outer protective casing of the tower, in my opinion, is frankly weak - when "processing" a 12,7-14,5 mm tank, this casing will hang in rags, all the electronics will be beaten, the tank will not be destroyed, but it is guaranteed to be removed from the battle and subject to expensive cosmetic repairs, very expensive ... And the shelling of a tank from a large-caliber machine gun can be carried out from relatively safe distances ... For the same reason, dynamic protection is not installed on the tower, which is quite logical - it is simply not possible to use it. The armor of the tower casing should definitely be not just bulletproof, but preferably withstand 14,5 mm from the front and side projections. Accordingly, this will lead to a heavier tower, recalculation of the power of its drive mechanisms, shoulder straps, and possibly the suspension of the tank.
Secondly, here it is possible that more knowledgeable comrades will correct me, I do not see how the T-14 is protected from ATGM with an infrared homing head, attacking from above. No laser irradiation (to trigger the "Clouds") occurs when the Javelin is hovered over. Further, the rocket attacks from above, and the active defense elements of the Armata are directed to the frontal and lateral projections, but not upward.
Conceptually, the T-14 Armata, in my opinion, is too advanced - no matter how strange it sounds. It is quite difficult for me to imagine a practical combat situation when all of its potential will be really used, first of all, it concerns the capabilities of its radars, the declared possibility of firing ATGMs at low-speed air targets, and the like. This is a high-tech, smart and expensive machine, and meanwhile, tanks are often used (and I am sure they will always be used) as strike hardware for assault operations - firefighting against enemy positions, often (and forcedly) at relatively short distances of 300-500m and closer, with an unpredictable and rapidly changing combat situation, when the enemy appears suddenly and close and, as a rule, immediately fires at the tank - as the main target of the advancing side. The "consumption" of tanks in such battles has always been and will be quite high, this cannot be avoided - the tank is the main striking force, but at the same time the main goal for the enemy and unnecessarily "protect" tanks in such a situation, keeping them on the back line will obviously damage to the lives of the infantry and the fulfillment of the combat mission in a timely manner. This requires a relatively simple, inexpensive, and highly secure machine. The use of the T-14 in such a battle is akin to hammering nails with a microscope. From this I conclude that the T-14 will never be our truly BASIC battle tank, but will be something like a "commander's" tank operating in the T-90 and T-72 groups. Including because of its price, which, of course, will certainly decrease during serial production, but it is unlikely even to come close to the price of the T-90 for objective reasons.
I sincerely like Armata, I see a clearly positive development of our domestic design thought on her example, as well as the continuation of our good tradition of "trendsetter" for the world of tank building and could write a lot of positive things about her, like many here, but this would not be too interesting. Therefore, I hope my criticism will be perceived as constructive. I would be glad to be mistaken in my assessments on these points and read adequate opinions.

How can you criticize a tank without having data not according to the scheme, not according to the composition of the reservation?

[Kostyar]

The general director of the Volgograd enterprise Dmitry Gerasimenko, according to some reports, is now hiding from Russian justice in Switzerland.

Well, how much can you ?!
When they begin to shoot these traitors, it’s not getting into any gates ...?!

[Stalker.1977]

Yes, in general, this Alfabank is one of the most scum banks, no matter how many friends and friends it didn’t contact, it’s not a word, these racketeers nafig would have been closed a long time ago.

Quote: Dimon19661

How can you criticize a tank without having data not according to the scheme, not according to the composition of the reservation?

Only according to the stated data. We have weight, dimensions, volume, engine power, gun caliber. Using these data, it is easy to calculate that a unit of volume is booked, a smaller amount of armor is spent than on the T-90. Those. If you don’t violate the laws of physics, it turns out that the armor thickness on Armata is less than on T-90. The gun, too, means in terms of firepower, too, does not exceed. There are also no mobility advantages over the T-90 or T-80. Given the length of the supporting surface, we can even assume that in the pivot speed it will be inferior. What is left? Ah, yes .. electronic filling .... Well, you can even stick it in the T-72, there was no need to create a whole tank for these purposes. Dala ... A question for connoisseurs. Why fence a garden with an uninhabited tower, if you increase the internal volume of the tank, moreover, you make a tower higher than on the T-72? I understand that an uninhabited tower is good. But it is precisely in that concept as it was planned in the USSR not with an increase in the dimensions of the tank, but with their decrease. Avoiding the domestic tank school, the best in the world, is clearly not justified in this case. In addition, our railway limits the mass of the tank to 60 tons, in Almaty, now there is practically no stock of mass for further improvement. Well, unless of course it is examined by the main tank, and not by the parade general like the T-35 at one time.

[Dimon19661]

Do you know the specific gravity of the armor with internal filler? Or do you perfectly know the difference between the ARMAT gun and the T-90 gun? Are you aware of the manufacturing technology, the barrel cover of Almaty, the characteristics of the gun’s ballistics? Is the information secret so far. Are you aware of the decisions made by the transmission designers?

[Alekseev]

Quote: Dimon19661

Do you know the specific gravity of the internal-filled armor?

That's right!
So far, the people who love armored vehicles have no specific and accurate data on Armata.
So it should be, secrecy, however ...
Therefore, we need to humbly wait, biting our tongues, although we would like to discuss something there on the new MBT.
Well, he’ll go into service, and even be noted in combat, there will be hundreds and thousands of young tankers who operated him, then, yes, you can awaken to discuss specifically, such as the T-64 or T-72.
After all, even the appearance of production vehicles in the troops can significantly differ from what we all observed at the parade.

[Cro-Magnon]

You are right ... there are no such details ... but we know one thing for sure - the line-up! "ARMATA" is declared as a platform, but its layout as a platform for many types of cars is just stupidity ... why not swap two compartments: from the nose MTO-BO-OU ??! What nonsense is it to put the crew in the forward control compartment with an exit through the upper hatches !? And everything was explained by the increase in the survivability of the crew! I alone cannot understand this solution of constructors .. ??!

[Operator]

The height of the T-14 body is selected based on the placement of a loading automatic machine with a vertical arrangement of separate loading shots for the 152-mm 2A83 gun.

The load capacity of a four-axle railway platform with an axial load of 25 tons is 76 tons.

so miracles do not happen - the elephant 1978 described what is clearly visible to the eye and what follows from this. for me, so the tower is still clearly heaped up.

[parkello]

Yes, he drives.

Slon, where did you get all this info? Have you personally participated in the development and testing? Only the outside of the tank and the fighting compartment were shown, and the rest was said to be classified. You may be arrested for violating state secrets. Run until it’s too late to run .... to the owners, otherwise Lefortovo ...

In general, I got the impression that the entire opus from Slon is a ready-made work written in advance! And I even suspect I know the address where this so-called "constructive criticism" was published ...!

[Slon1978]

There were articles with a detailed description of the external equipment of the T-14 tower, there are only 4 pieces of radar there, if my memory serves me right. Any new equipment only changes the tactics of its defeat, no military equipment is invulnerable. And if, for example, the Merkava MK-4 with KAZ Trophy became practically invulnerable to ATGM / RPGs, then it just comes down to changing the tactics of dealing with it: first, a shot from a large-caliber sniper rifle at the KAZ radar, then launching an ATGM. Therefore, first of all, you need to think about how the T-14 can be struck and complicate the task as much as possible.

[insular]

Quote: Slon1978

there are only 4 radars there, if my memory serves me right.

So you already want to say that the radars are in the reserved volume of the tower?
Why is it suddenly concluded that the tower is made of bulletproof plywood?
What is the general relationship between the amount of electronics and the thickness of the reservation?
Have you seen the section of the tower, do you know what is under the outer shields?

[Slon1978]

A detailed close examination of the photographs shows that the external armor casing has local minor deformations from damage, which means the metal is quite thin - maximum anti-shatter.

[Slon1978]

Of course, I read about Afghanistan and read about Afghanistan, but look at the sectors fired by Afghanistan - frontal and lateral directions up to about 70 gr. from the longitudinal axis of the tank. This is generally reasonable because these directions are the most fired, but Afganit does not cover from an attack from above. If, for example, the use of Javelin on targets like BMP-1 is not always justified, then for a target like T-14 this ATGM will not be regretted. I studied a lot of materials on the T-14, although of course I’m not a specialist in tank building, but I still haven’t found reliable materials on how the tank is protected from the threat from above.

[lukewarm]

So there must be at least some secrecy. Really dump everything on the Internet?

[aba]

although of course not a specialist in tank building, but still did not find reliable materials on how the tank is protected from a threat from above.

This question has worried Soviet designers since the 80s, so be calm, the answers to them probably appeared in 30 years.

[MaxMelan]

I think you do not need to overestimate Jewelin. A modern dim curtain is enough. I don’t know how about coased cluster munitions. It seems to be on laser sensors and smoke should not pass the laser, as well as the IR spectrum for zhedelin. I leafed through somewhere on the site. Somewhere laid out the instructions for the Jewel and the pictures that are visible on it on the screen. There is a ban on shooting under ir interference, that is, only one attacked vehicle should be visible and not near. And not any bonfires or other fire. It will be enough to put on the tanks protection against stingers as in helicopters. And from the shell from the top, nothing has yet been saved.
I have long thought that you need to come up with a corrected mortar for a mortar. In order to bomb technique from jacquered positions, especially for saboteurs. You’re sitting with a laser or something else pointed at the equipment, and from the Avraga the mine is flying further and it is guided. And there is no unmasking plume and it is more difficult to guess the direction from where it covered and where the reconnaissance is best. And all sorts of RPGs and birds are unmasking the direction where to look.

[Skubudu]

Let's all be objective.
The T-14 declared weight 48t.
The T-90 declared weight 46.5t.
But in terms of dimensions T-14 percent is 20 more than T-90
Accordingly, with approximately equal armor, the T-14 should weigh at least 55 tons.
There is no light armor.
It turns out armor on the T-14 less.
The T-14 tower turned out to be not acceptably high, for an uninhabited tower, even inhabited towers have a lower profile. The tilt angle of the T-14 armor is clearly not conducive to the BPS rebound.
Afghanit, except for the chatter of journalists and scribble, not nothing, not a single video of the test. These mortars are at the bottom of the tower ... The manufacturer claims that the mortars are forward and if the rocket flies behind, the tank will automatically turn the tower towards the incoming rocket and hit it from the mortar. Then how to explain the only forward-facing mortars of Afghanistan on the T-15 ...? they are located on the hull and cannot turn to a rocket flying up behind ... And of course, the cornerstone is a rocket attack on the roof of a tower. Not a machine gun on a turret does not hit her, this is nonsense.
for comparing dimensions

[KaPToC]

Quote: Skubudu

Accordingly, with approximately equal armor, the T-14 should weigh at least 55 tons.

You think incorrectly, subtract the weight of the tower from the weight of the reinforcement, and move this weight to the case, and here is the missing mass. On various Soviet tanks, the tower weighs 7-9 tons, for example, the Abrams tower - 20 tons.

I doubt that you have anything to do with the armored structure. You do not teach a boxer how to beat when you watch boxing?

[shonsu]

I think you're wrong. in our other tanks, all devices in general on the tower without armor and nothing quite combat ready.

[Slon1978]

There are much fewer devices on the T-90 and T-72. On the T-14, if you remove this casing, the entire tower is hung with instruments and this is all very expensive electronics.

You can read the detailed description of the T-14 tower yourself, there is enough information on the network. For example here:

Calculation of a machine gun is immortal in your opinion? 10 seconds after the first machine gun shots, a land mine will fly 125 mm into them. There will be nothing to identify. Exchange the machine gun and people for a ghostly chance to damage the tank cover with the first shots ... to put it mildly unreasonable

Quote: Slon1978

A shelling of a tank from a heavy machine gun can be carried out from relatively safe distances ....

You can't. How not twist the land mine flies on. Plus "a robotic machine gun on the turret is integrated with the tank's AFAR radar and thermal imaging sight, ensuring the defeat of high-speed targets at a distance of up to 1.5 km." No chance

Quote: Slon1978

The armor of the tower casing should definitely not just be bulletproof, but it is desirable to withstand 14,5 mm from the front and side projections

And why only 14.5mm, and not a 30mm BMP3 automatic gun, and even better 100mm 2A70 and AGM114 Hellfire in addition. So you can go far

Quote: Slon1978

Secondly, here more knowledgeable comrades may correct me, I don’t see how the T-14 is protected from ATGMs with an infrared homing head attacking from above

There's some tricky infrared masking system. I have not met the details
As for the rest: for a very long time there have been no head-to-head battles between armies of similar strength using tanks. I think the results of such a battle, with some conditions, would have changed a lot in all the schools of tank building in the world. As the saying goes, "a bullet changes a lot in the head, even if it hits ..." well, you get the idea

[Slon1978]

"Why only 14.5mm, and not 30mm BMP3 automatic cannon, or even better 100mm 2A70 and AGM114 Hellfire to boot. So you can go far."

Because it is the largest caliber of those carried by man or transported by light transport such as a pickup truck. It is completely accessible to all kinds of irregular formation. There is of course the ZU-23-2, transported by truck, but this is already a serious weapon, which is much less widespread.

------------------
The whole hour-long film was on the TV channel "Star" about "Armatu". Everything goes, shoots, functions, the crew is comfortable. In the tank there is a complex of recognition of potential threats and their destruction. The series will do, work out. Do not dilute snot.
On the issue of financing, the bankers were presented with a trillion rubles (970 billion), which they successfully converted and dumped, although they gave it "for lending to the real sector." Here's the 2000 stolen Armats. This is the question of money. This is all the mundaneity of our matsinal ilya and all their demagoguery. Even if the deputy director of the UAC speaks about the inexpediency of releasing civil aircraft. Around the unprintable "patriots" of the ruling party and their "liberal" friends from the economic bloc.

Please - the combat elements of the KAZ "Afghanit" are directed upward to protect the upper hemisphere. There was information that the incoming missiles should be detected by the radar.

In general, this system is called "Umbrella" - it protects the tank from above, from thermal homing heads, as well as laser guidance systems, using fine aerosol grenades.

Slon, but you don’t think that all the issues that confuse you were taken into account, tested, checked at the training grounds. And what the designers think I know more than ours ... well, finally, you can’t just push the tank to the Ministry of Defense just like that .... There is only one answer - we are waiting for official adoption.

After reading a lot of comments, I did not receive ANY answer in essence to my specific 2nd question regarding the protection of the T-14 from ATGMs attacking from above like Javelin, but I picked up a lot of disadvantages. At the expense of the minuses, this is expected and uncritical, but I confess I expected more constructiveness, professionalism and substantive answers from commentators. As a result, I found the answer myself, I am bringing it here to inform the "experts".
T-14 has protection against ATGMs of the Javelin type - protection of non-destructive type, unlike the mortars of Afghanistan, located in the frontal and lateral projections. The DG Javelin’s IC is passive and it is impossible to track the launch by laser irradiation of the tank, but the launch is detected by a UV direction finder on the residual traces of the plasma from the working engine, then the missile is taken to accompany the long-range radar KAZ Afghanistan with AFAR. Unlike the KAZ Trophy radars and other similar systems, the KAZ Afganit radar has increased power and can take missiles with escort over a long distance. When a Javelin ATGM is guided into the upper hemisphere of the tank at the right time to calculate the trajectory, aerosol grenades containing aluminum dust and silicates are shot and detonated, which make the tank invisible in the IR range and lead to the breakdown of Javelin guidance.

The only thing I would like to contact local commentators. Please be more constructive and do not look for "manifestations of the 5th column" where there is a critical discussion. I ended up finding the answer myself, although I was hoping someone would suggest it here.

Apparently, the designers of Almaty consider that its active defense will intercept any shell or missile

This is not a splinterproof reservation - this is a metal product outside the tower - more like a camouflage hinge that protects the tower’s power structure from prying eyes.

I read about NPO "Basalt". They appointed "effective managers", they immediately removed the leading designers from making decisions, made some of the workshops leased out, took away the equipment in an unknown direction. This is how our defense industry operates now. Of course, there are positive examples, they built a plant for the production of S-400 in Nizhny, although some of the equipment was not purchased. This is how they work.

Alfa Bank has long been time to cover up and revoke the license, since its activities are against the interests of Russia in the field of defense. But you can not consider the T-14 as a panacea for everyone and everything. The machine is undoubtedly advanced and needed by the troops, but its level of complexity is high. Along with it, deliveries of the modernized T-90 are needed, but not the T-72B3, based on the experience of their combat use.

And I don't really understand why the strategic enterprises of the military-industrial complex are serviced by a bank owned by citizens of a UN-FRIENDLY state? Stupidity of the highest standard. In the USSR, the so-called. "first department", without a visa of this first department, not a single transaction of this enterprise took place. In this first department there were special officers, and so, be it now, as in the USSR, to this Volgograd enterprise "Krasny Oktyabr" of these "Alfovtsy" from the "Promised Land" (and what can't they sit there, on this beautiful land? Can't you afford peace? On the shores of the Dead Sea, why doesn't it catch fire? at the reception of this plant, it would have been sent to the minerader ... But it would have been in the USSR, and in Russia you have what you have.
You can correct the situation by carefully analyzing for starters where foreign citizens can work, and where they cannot, and not just cannot, and where even their influence above a certain limit is unacceptable, and already carefully follow the appropriate policy. There is no such policy in Russia now, therefore, citizens of any unfriendly state, if they wish, can paralyze or in extreme cases seriously hinder the production of almost any defense products (that is, extremely important)! By the way, in Israel such a feint is impossible by definition, no matter what grandmas you have. And in Russia, any Israeli citizen has absolutely free access to any enterprise in Russia, including the saints and saints - space industry enterprises and military-industrial complex enterprises.

Superprofit of banks consists of the fact that we carry in them ourselves and no one forces us. Do not bring money to the bank and it will not have super-profits. Live within your means and you will not have to pay interest on loans. The same applies to businesses. The "effective management" of the corporation's management drove it into debt, not Alfa-Bank.
The corporation has a whole legal department, a financial department, a whole code of economists and other highly paid specialists, and a whole bunch of authorities that should have studied, analyzed, agreed upon this loan agreement.
Claims by Alfa Bank and other creditors are legal and justified. The rest is demagogy.

Yes, I heard an uninhabited tower with a view in a circle and an armored capsule. This is of course delicious but does not fundamentally change the combat characteristics. In general, I strongly doubt that at the current level of development of ATGM any tank has an advantage over self-propelled guns. And the adversaries are mainly working on uninhabited structures and there is something not to see new tanks. As for the infrastructure, logistics for valves will be added to the stock of spare parts for the T72 and T80 ranges. Of course we are so fucking rich.

Due to the lack of real characteristics, it is too early to say what is better than the T-14 of the same T-90. This machine seems to me very promising in terms of creating an "unmanned" tank. The crew already remotely, from an armored capsule, controls the vehicle and weapons, even if within the vehicle itself. It's only one step from here to an unmanned vehicle, I think it's harder to make a drone out of a T-90.

I think nifiga is not more complicated, especially since Khalitov himself spoke about the t-90 and t-72 robotics.
I am interested in another question.
The Coalition Tower is installed on a 90-teak hull, they say that the same armored capsule is inside, but WHY then make a new tank ???? Is it possible to install an uninhabited module from Armata on the T-90 and redo the case ???
Then, the conversion of Ukrainians 64-ki into a tank with an uninhabited tower does not seem so fantastic.
Please enlighten me in this matter ...
Just do not talk about the new single universal platform, savings, etc., etc. Such a platform already existed !!!!
And MSTA and Solntsepek and BMO-T, and even the Terminator are on the same platform MBT. Still, there is no big conceptual difference in the T-72 and T-90 body, only in the reservation.

In order to make at least an uninhabited fighting compartment in 64-ke - I wrote a couple of "hints" there above what it will result in.

Golden words: "We must nationalize." Any literate person understands that the state should maintain a monopoly on the state-forming industries. This is, first of all, the defense industry and, accordingly, the branches of heavy industry tied to it (machine tool building, metallurgy, etc.), fundamental science, transport and communications, energy and the extraction of natural resources. What do we see with us? They distributed everything. Now we are reaping the benefits - fraud, waste, disruption of defense orders and no one needs anything. At one time, Dr. Roshal said an excellent phrase: As soon as money interferes in any good business, the business disappears. In general, a slight feeling of hopelessness. Nobody will give anything to nationalize, they will tear with their teeth for their piece of meat. I am afraid that V. I. Lenin was right. Only the expropriation of the expropriators and the dictatorship of the proletariat (ie, methodically shoot these scoundrels).

The parent plant costs more than 10000 employees on forced leave because the cost of civilian products (wagons) is prohibitive and no one needs it at this price. High cost is a consequence of the costs of a mess in production and management.
With both one and another form of ownership, one thing is important: LOVE HOMELAND. And such education is a matter of systematic and active work over several generations.

The number of steel grades by 55 amounted to more than 558 types, the number of employees reached 2008 thousand people. In 600, the Barrikady metallurgical complex, a diversified enterprise of special engineering with powerful forging and casting and foundry equipment, was attached to Krasniy Oktyabr.
As a result of the 2008 crisis, due to the difficult financial situation at the enterprise, a monitoring procedure was introduced in November 2009. Since June 2, 2010, production at the enterprise has been resumed

In the current international situation, Uralvagonzavod and the Ministry of Defense need to agree as soon as possible on a sufficient number of T-14 Armata tanks, which should be delivered to the troops in order to sufficiently ensure the defense capability of our country. Well, those who are trying to disrupt the financing of this project, then these "figures" should be involved under Art. 275 of the Criminal Code of the Russian Federation, regardless of whether we are talking about any separate bank, or the leaders of the financial and economic block in the government of the Russian Federation, including the head of the cabinet himself.

The owner of the new enterprise for life is the state, without the right to sell and bankruptcy.

Quote: Slon1978

From this I conclude that the T-14 will never be our truly MAIN battle tank, but will be something like a "commander's" tank operating in the T-90 and T-72 groups. Including because of its price, which, of course, will certainly decrease with serial production, but it is unlikely even to come close to the price of the T-90 for objective reasons.
I sincerely like Armata, I see a clearly positive development of our domestic design thought on her example, as well as the continuation of our good tradition of "trendsetter" for the world of tank building and could write a lot of positive things about her, like many here, but this would not be too interesting. Therefore, I hope my criticism will be perceived as constructive. I would be glad to be mistaken in my assessments on these points and read adequate opinions.

By the way, there is a very interesting idea of ​​the "COMMANDER TANK", like that of helicopters of the Ka series, it can also be equipped with UAVs that are launched through the barrel of a cannon))), there will be no price at all ... then the ratio of one Armata to 5-10 T-90 or 72 is quite justified

[dsm100]

Whatever anyone says, this is a new tank and this is the first development that reached prototypes after the collapse of the USSR. Everything will be brought to mind and I have no doubt about it. Even if there were miscalculations somewhere. And this is our tank without Ukrainians and everyone else. Proud of our country and the achievements of our scientists and designers. And whoever criticizes the T-14, let them blow on ...!

[Shuttle]

Stop srach about T-14. This is a transitional stage to real teletanks. When the crew will not be not only in the fighting compartment, but in general on the battlefield. When the tank will be controlled completely remotely by feeble cranks with burning eyes and the reaction of the best Counter-Strike players sitting in a warm dry bunker near Moscow with lemonade and buns.
Remember my word - strong men in the tank units will be engaged in the maintenance of these glands at the bases of armament and repair. Repair infrastructure will be at least two-level. Field modular repair on the first line. Repair of the modules themselves will be carried out in the rear. The fighting compartment will become the same interchangeable module as the engine-transmission unit. Those. the tank will actually become a carrier for combat modules. This has almost happened with rocket artillery. The same will be with tanks and infantry fighting vehicles. And someday with field aviation.

"Red October" is not going bankrupt by accident. Someone really does not want Armata to join the troops. And again this is happening, like the bankruptcy of other enterprises of the defense industry, with the initiative of the banking sector in Russia, which, as you know, does not belong to it. The parent company is ABH Financial Ltd., registered offshore in Cyprus.
More than 75% of the bank’s shares are owned by Alfa Group: in fact, this package is indirectly owned or controlled by Mikhail Fridman (36.47%), German Khan (23.27%) and Alexey Kuzmichev (18.12%); the remaining shares are owned by individuals, including the president of the bank, Peter Aven (13.76%).

Secondly, here it is possible that more knowledgeable comrades will correct me, I do not see how the T-14 is protected from ATGM with an infrared homing head, attacking from above. No laser irradiation (to trigger the "Clouds") occurs when the Javelin is hovered over. Further, the rocket attacks from above, and the active defense elements of the Armata are directed to the frontal and lateral projections, but not upward.

Little educational program for the Elephant1978.
1. The javelin is targeted by a contrasting infrared image; the Javelin operator must select a target that has IR contrast against the battlefield. Javelin can be launched along two paths: straight and "from above". The Javelin's armor-piercing ability does not allow to effectively work on the T-14 with a direct launch (even on board), i.e. in this case, we are dealing with a situation where Java will be launched along a trajectory "from above". So, structurally on the T-14 it is made so that the upper projection has a minimum IR contrast (the exhaust slots are directed downward and have their own cooling system, most of the area of ​​the upper projection of the MTO is covered by the rear part of the tower). Those. from above, Java simply will not find the T-14 (the IR picture is not only low-contrast, but also differs in projections). And then there is the "Cape" ...
2. For the protection of the upper projection - see the photo. Obviously, the presence of a remote sensing device on the roof of the tower and the direction of a part of the Afganites upward.

And now you have an educational program.
1. Javelin is aimed at a contrast target in the IR range, such as the Dushman clay wagon.

The tank, even with the engine off, is an excellent contrast target.
Both "straight and top" paths are actually top.

Upper projection is irrelevant. Capture the target is at the same level as the tank. Roughly: forehead, side or stern. See flight path.
Javelin doesn't need to "look for" anything. He stupidly holds the target. Exhaust gases have nothing to do with it. The GOS is not aimed at them.
"Cape" is easily overcome by reducing the distance of the shot.

2. The upper projection is a priori the least protected. And where in the sight of the tank above the radar looking up?

The points.
1. According to the clay wagon - the video does not have a clear understanding of the purpose for which they worked. There could have been a car and a bonfire around which dummies are basking.
2. If the appearance of the tank does not give an unambiguous understanding of the presence / absence of AFAR, this does not mean that the existing radar does not see the approach of Java or the same type of ammunition. Radar for this and should not look strictly up.

This is just the case when it is necessary to prove the presence of something, and not the absence thereof. Moreover, looking at the tank from above, I never see the KAZ charges looking up. Maybe show the arrow? Nevertheless, the presence or absence of KAZ does not in any way change the performance characteristics of Javelin, its advantages and disadvantages. As well as the fact that Javelin’s hit on a tank (any tank) is likely to lead to a tank defeat. Roof knowers ...

Regarding the lack of technology - do you apply this postulate to cars? Taliban Islam bans internal combustion engines as a class of technology?
It is possible to work out on foot militants from Java, but this is called "grenade launcher mode" - there the GOS is not involved at all. Or do you really believe that the GOS Java is designed for the "lonely wandering Homo Sapiens" target?

Thanks for the comment, you are probably the first who tried to answer on the merits. But I do not agree with you. Firstly, those events that you listed only reduce the thermal contrast of the T-14, but do not exclude the capture of its GOS Javelina. They still needed to be implemented, but they did not give a guarantee. Modern infrared imagers / infrared seekers have extremely high sensitivity, seekers cooled with nitrogen. Therefore, in theory, such events may complicate the capture of the T-14 GOS Javelin possibly on a hot sunny day (and for the second attempt, there may not be enough GOS cooler, it will be necessary to change the cartridge), but not in the morning or in the evening, and even more so not in the cold season. . Secondly, the T-14 does not have a DZ on the top of the tower - these are technological hatches for maintenance. What you took for KAZ shots on the left side in the back of the tower, pointing up, I did not find reliable evidence of this (from the manufacturer or officials), so far this is only a guess. I personally believe that these are shots from the Stor system. They are too small in comparison with the shots of Afghanistan on the sides ...

Javelin, like any "Shot and Forgot" missile, is vulnerable, or rather EXTREMELY VULNERABLE to a laser missile defense system, such as "Vitebsk", aka "President-S".
The tank has everything necessary for capturing and tracking the target (circular SOAR cameras, 4 radar in the tower, onboard CIUS) - I can’t give evidence - everything is secret and there is no data, but I’m ready to eat a hat without mustard if under one of the tower hatches a laser emitter of such a system is not installed - the issue with Javelin / Spike / Hellfire and others like that has been resolved.

Not so fast
1. Similar systems were not used and are unlikely to be used on the tank. They are VERY expensive and narrowly targeted. Unlike the traditional KAZ, they are even theoretically unable to intercept RPGs, ATGMs of the 1st and 2nd generation and anti-tank shells.
2. Even if the EETA system manages to blind the ATGM’s GSN, then it’s sneaky will continue flying by inertial and since it’s more agile than the tank ...
3. The laser is monochromatic and the simplest filter on the anti-tank guided missile array makes the laser useless.

The truth is that the thought of an IR filter came to my mind after 5 minutes from how I learned about such systems - and that means that it came to professionals in this field after 5 seconds ... and yet a number of such systems stand on armament of the Republic of Armenia and is protected not only by the KA-52, MI-28Н, Su-25, T-50 and MiG-31, but also the aircraft of the President of the Russian Federation.

A similar system was developed in Germany, at the moment something similar is being developed by the French together with the Hindus - but all these guys are fools - after all, they did not think about filters ...

The truth is that a beam projector with a special sapphire lamp of modular radiation clogs the entire working range of the infrared seeker from several hundred meters - this is confirmed by actual tests using the SAM launcher, whose seeker works in the same range as that of Jov ... exactly how the spotlight is working, I wouldn’t tell you even if I knew, but I saw the result of its work - it’s very impressive (it was this spotlight that was tested - the range is certainly not laser - the light scattering is strong, but the whole range is clogged and even not one out of cancer em didn’t hit the target, moreover - missiles fled from the target in the opposite direction from IR traps).
I just won’t say for sure about the laser, TOP SECRET, but according to rumors, through friends I knew, my friends finished it, so there’s no need to develop anything - ALL ALREADY IS.

For this I leave you alone - tired.
