"Armata" will not be. You can disperse

December 30 2022 417

To date, "Armata" has really become a household name, denoting either long-term construction, or fruitless attempts to do at least something from scratch. Just like "Coalition", "Kurganets", "Petrel" and other "unparalleled" works.

Let's try to answer an elementary question: can the Russian army get at its disposal, say, two hundred? It's two tank regiment, that is, practically a tank division. Shock, because these breakthrough machines can try to have a significant impact on the state of affairs in the NWO.

The whole problem is that serial production of "Armata" is now impossible for many reasons. It so happened that for a tank there is no ... however, it's easier to say that there is.

Engine

Here I will allow myself a small historical excursion. In 1931, within the walls of the Kharkov Locomotive Plant, a galaxy of talented and brilliant Soviet engineers K.F. Chelpan, T.P. Chupakhin, Ya.E. Vikhman, I.Ya. Trashutin created the V-2 tank diesel engine. Yes, the one that became the heart of the T-34, KV-1, KV-2, IS-1.

The V-2 turned out to be so successful that ALL diesel engines of Russian armored vehicles from V-84 (T-72), V-92S2F (T-72B3, T-90) to UTD-20 (BMP-1 and BMP-2) and UTD -29 (BMP-3) are further upgrades of this engine. And you can praise the V-2 for a long time, or vice versa, doubt its capabilities as a modern engine, but the fact is that almost all Russian armored vehicles are moved by this particular engine. Simple, but reliable and mastered to the screw.

V-92S2F

The A-85-3A "Armata" engine has nothing to do with the B-2. It was created by the Transdiesel Design Bureau in the early 90s as a unit for compressor oil and gas pumping stations based on the German X-shaped Simmering SLA 16 engine, also known as the Porsche Tour 212, created as an engine for the Tiger and King Tiger ". True, the ancestor was a 16-cylinder, but this, you see, is not significant.

But for some reason, the A-85-3 or 12N360 did not come to court, and they decided to try it as a power plant for the promising T-95 tank, which, by the way, can be safely called the ancestor of the "Armata", since the layout was the same: a capsule on three people and an almost empty tower.

The engine was named A-85-3.

X-shaped, 12-cylinder, the declared maximum power is about 1800 hp, in normal mode about 1500 hp. Weight 1550 kg, which is 500 kg more than the B-92. Of the minuses - heavy, complex, unreliable.

The engine was repeatedly demonstrated at various exhibitions, but could not interest anyone. And the leadership of Uralvagonzavod decided to solve the issue of this engine in a very peculiar way: to take and develop a new tank for it!

And at full speed, the Armata flew into an engine trap, because the A-85-3, under which the tank was developed, was very different in size from the B-92, and in which case it was not possible to replace the A-85-3 with the old and proven B-92 possible.

By the way, this happened when in 2014 they tried to replace the A-85-3 with Yaroslavl engines. In an experimental form, but did not work out. In addition, the automatic transmission assembly with the engine is also a problem with such a replacement attempt.

As a result, they decided to leave the A-85-3A, with which the tank moves satisfactorily only under the cover of a group of technicians and engineers. As for mass production, not everything is perfect here either. A-85-3A, although not new, but for 30 years its production has not been mastered and debugged due to the lack of demand for the engine.

And this is where you can finish with the engine, because the V-92 looks like a standard of reliability and simplicity against its background. The A-85-3A, although not as old as the B-92, is still almost 15 years of difference in favor of the German prototype, but nevertheless: over the 90 years of the existence of the B-2 and its descendants, the engine has worked out to the fullest. What can not be said about the A-85.

Now, probably, it is clear why UVZ still drives the T-72 / T-80 / T-90 line and is not at all eager to “Stamp“ Armata ”? The enterprise simply does not have such a number of factory teams that will debug engines in the fields. "Raw" engines that were not really produced.

I just don't want to talk about an automatic transmission. There is no data on it, whose hands it was, but the fact that automatic transmissions on Russian cars began to appear after the sale of car factories to foreign firms says a lot. Approximately, like German automatic transmissions on Russian military tractors.

Production capacity is a separate issue. They simply don't exist. There was a program to build a new production line for "Armata", but alas. The money was allocated, and, moreover, rather big money (they say the figure is 64 billion rubles), for which workshops were erected and contracts were concluded ... with Western manufacturers of machine tools. They took the money with great pleasure and did not supply equipment, as they included sanctions. That's all: the plant seems to be there, but there are no machines.

Therefore, all that UVZ can offer is the manual assembly of the T-14 piece by piece in the semi-handicraft conditions of the experimental workshop. And first of all, this is due to the need to drive the T-90M on the assembly line in military conditions, to upgrade the T-90 to the level of the T-90MS, and not to forget about the T-72, which also needs to be upgraded.

And here everything is simple: if in the USSR tanks were made at several factories, now the lion's share of the load lies with UVZ. Omsktransmash is definitely not an assistant here, the plant is engaged in somewhat different tasks.

Electronics

Yes, all these tricky and not entirely clear boxes to which screens are connected are also huge problems with this.

The sanctions are tightening tighter and tighter, we have already forgotten about the French thermal imagers, that with microelectronics, on the basis of which all these boxes are made, no one knows for sure, but since we do not produce anything ourselves, and for a long time, we should not expect here "breakthroughs". For all the "breakthroughs" we have lead to "Ali-express".

One can understand how difficult it is to work in such conditions for domestic manufacturers of equipment such as Shvabe, Cyclone, Kathoda, when the usual supply schemes collapsed. “We don’t need to produce anything, we’ll buy everything” - this policy, which has been going on since the beginning of the XNUMXs, has to be paid for by installing Chinese civilian (and they themselves need the military) microcircuits in military equipment, which simply do not guarantee the proper quality of the devices.

The circular Doppler radar with AFAR, which was the “chip” of the “Afghanit”, infrared HD cameras of the all-round view, ultraviolet photocathode direction finders of missiles, a digital communication station with ESU TZ and other very useful electronics are under a big question mark due to the fact that access to the element base is closed by sanctions.

And if only to microcircuits... But here, even without sanctions, such things are happening in Russia, such as, for example, the disruption of the implementation of the State Defense Order by the Volgograd plant "Red October", a manufacturer, including tank armor. Krasny Oktyabr was already declared bankrupt in 2018, its owner Dmitry Gerasimenko is on the international wanted list for embezzling a loan of $65 million and transferring 6,2 billion rubles abroad. But these dismantlings will not help the plant, the enterprise seems to have begun to work, but you yourself understand how unstable it is - work is under supervision. How many military-oriented factories in our country have not risen from their knees.

And this tank, which is not yet a tank, is being sold to us as a "miracleweapon"Directly in accordance with the training manuals of 1945. Say, now "Armata" will come, will put things in order. They say that "Armata" will issue target designations to other tanks, T-90 and T-72 right on the battlefield! Network-centric principle of warfare.

But the question immediately arises: how will Armata do this? With the help of the most modern walkie-talkie R-123? In voice mode? Well, no question ... The radar will quite allow itself to detect targets, and the radio station will allow the tank commander to issue target designation to other vehicles.

But sorry, there's something wrong here.

In the Russian army, in theory (I myself saw at exhibitions how in parts of the NMD - no information) there is such a machine as the PRP-4A "Argus", designed specifically for monitoring the area.

The Argus is equipped with a fairly decent 1L-120-1 radar, which can detect targets in rain, snow, in smoke screens, determine coordinates and aim artillery at them. A tank can be detected at a distance of up to 16 km, smaller targets at shorter distances, but even a group of infantry in a jeep can be confidently “taken” from 10 km. Enough to point your guns, right?

Everything, the bicycle is invented!

Here we should not forget that if the "Armata" with the help of the radar sees the enemy, then the enemy, which is typical, sees the "Armata". Imported counterparts using radar even came up with modes to reduce the power of the emitter depending on the proximity of the target in order to less unmask the source.

But we decided not to break our heads over this at all, but let it “shine” to its fullest! The fact that the tank will become just an excellent target, for some reason, no one wants to speak out on this topic. And he will. And everything that is possible will begin to fly over this tank, from 125 mm to 7,62 mm.

Such a beautiful “Armata” left, found itself with the help of a radar (of course, there is nothing like that on the other side, everyone is still running around with rifles from Garand), received a carcass of all possible calibers (the nastiest ones are 12,7-mm and 30 mm) and ... And that's it, she fought back! Because the crew will turn into three blind and deaf people, since all this electronic attachment will be taken down from the tower. Cameras, sensors, and everything else will stop working, and without them, the Armata is nothing more than an armored chest on tracks.

How long do you think all this splendor will last under fire? What will be left after "straightening" with automatic guns of the BMP? Machine guns? Yes, "Afghanit" shells can easily be sent to hell, the system, as our tankers say, is quite, but a smaller and no less malicious one is a question.

And here the main doubts are not that all this electronic wealth can be normally APPLY, but in the fact that later it will be possible ZAMENIT! Today, excuse me, electronic components are being removed from damaged T-72s and sent to factories, because the shortage is huge, but what about new ones?

By the way, everything is new there: engine, gearbox, electronics, rollers, transmission ... And where would you order to take it?

What is good about the T-72 and T-90, that a lot suits them.

But in our case, it was necessary to perform an act that was essentially similar to the industrialization of Stalin in the 30s: to modernize and partially re-profile about 200 enterprises that would supply components for the Armata. And yes, build an assembly shop with a conveyor. Then it would be possible to say that the tank would go into production.

And so, unfortunately, the T-14 will remain something similar to Lobaev rifles: modern, beautiful, efficient (maybe in the case of a tank), but individually and manually.

And who prevented the same rollers from Soviet tanks from leaving ...

The question arises: is it possible to solve some of the problems by simplification?

Easy. It is possible (albeit with a lot of effort) to organize the replacement of the A-85-3A with the V-92S2F, which is somewhat larger due to its layout and one and a half times weaker, naturally, the gearbox will go from the same T-90. Yes, such a tank will not run briskly, but it can be slightly lightened. Due to the fact that we do not install electronics that we cannot produce ourselves, and therefore we bought (although evil tongues in the West yell that Russian front companies bought almost 500 sets of French matrices for thermal imagers) wherever possible. But probably you should not count on this further, because it is still impossible everywhere.

What will happen in this "military version" of the T-14, you know? Yes, almost the same T-90, only slower. But it's already being released.

Therefore, watching this victory dispersed by the state media, you understand that, of course, a certain number of T-14s will definitely be sent to the front line or next to it. And in order to check in real combat conditions how truly a “miracle weapon” is, and in order to shoot the proper amount of ugly videos for the electorate. In principle, combat-ready "Armat" for a "special shock" tank company will most likely be scraped together. The main thing is to wait for a convenient moment for front-line tests, that is, offensive actions.

Why? Yes, everything is simple: so that the enemy does not get precious samples. When the army advances, all these “analogues” can easily trudge in the third echelon, shining with radars (a little, HARM will not joke), firing from cannons. More than enough for a beautiful picture. And even if something suddenly goes wrong, and another unplanned regrouping begins, the tanks can be safely removed to the rear. What is not always possible to do during defensive-retreat actions.

However, everyone already has an idea of how this happens, thanks to the personnel of the "Russian Lend-Lease" in the Kharkov region.

Therefore, I would not want the "Armata" to be in the hands of the Armed Forces of Ukraine.

And this is the alignment obtained with all that T-14 "Armata" is a very, very interesting and meaningful project with a huge future, because it is not just a new generation tank, it is a PLATFORM on which you can create new vehicles for any task. Including under network-centric wars, to which we will someday come.

But for this it was necessary to invest money in the industry. Re-profiling those same 200 factories that would produce components and spare parts for hundreds of Armats. Give the engine engineers the opportunity and time to bring this unfortunate A-85 to mind (they say they can, but a series and time are needed). What prevented this from being done - we are unlikely to know, but the fact remains that the T-14 will remain a prototype toy with no chance of mass production.

In fact, it would be very interesting to know how much the T-14 can even fight. But I doubt that this tank will actually go to the front line. It's too expensive - prototype testing in real combat. Both financially and reputationally. Although who would talk today about reputation ...

The novel correctly highlighted the multi-vector nature of the problem associated with the Armata: what it is made of in terms of electronic components and with the ambush (as always, however) of the high-tech spare parts for it - nothing has changed for the better for decades in terms of the availability and prospects for the development of modern electronic component base made in Russia. For an hour they once again howled on TV about the technological security of the country and that we need to catch up and overtake apparently once again and once and more than once I heard all this crap with the resulting loss and sale of MY country USSR... but the roast rooster has already taken the bait and there is only one hope left for the great neighbor, that he will share technologies and spare parts to the heap on a mutually beneficial basis, of course. Any technology requires a developed production base and an engineering corps that has fused with it in ecstasy, led by a decent and competent management team to the heap. And all this will not appear out of nowhere as if from a casket... Exhausted Iran is helping and has helped our military to get out of the hole with the presence and use of UAVs... a good thing, but for some reason it’s a bit scary and offensive. Here we have Kiriyenko in his place at Rosatom and things are going uphill there in all directions. For reasons, you can jump for a long time and tediously... but what can be done, can be done.
Now about the Armata: in my understanding, this is not a front line tank, or even more so a breakthrough tank... this is a COMBAT CONTROL vehicle of a robust assault tank fist of the T-90 BREAKTHROUGH type with multi-vector support for all interested branches of the local theater of operations. It is a hub server for collecting and exchanging data in real time for conducting NORMAL network-centric combat operations in the 21st century, and one of many nodes operating in a single connection is a server with a gun, AFLARS, advanced optics in terms of multidimensional technical vision, an increased level of personal protection and others bells and whistles in terms of accepting information coming from all corners (for this you need a universal data exchange bus), competently processing it with the appropriate software and transmitting it through secure channels to specific consumers in the appropriate body kit... I dreamed so beautifully, but it’s not harmful to dream.

  I need to catch up and overtake apparently once again and once and more than once I heard all this crap with the resulting loss and sale of MY country USSR
  
  It is important to remember: by 1992, the Agat-2 computer was ready for release in the USSR, a clone of the Apple-2 from 1982, but twice as expensive.
  To catch up and overtake now is unlikely. They will do what they can, that's all.
  In another paradigm of events, where we maintain interaction with TSMC, IMHO, Baikal and MCST could well over time compete with other large manufacturers as a fabless CPU developer. This is a normal thing, like AMD.
  But machines for the production of modern CPUs are produced by only one company in the world, in Holland. It is impossible to copy them in a year, five or ten, because this is a huge array of heterogeneous components from different manufacturers that have been developed for decades. Magic, nanotechnology.

I didn’t have the patience to finish reading this opus even to the middle. "Chief! Everything is gone... the plaster is being removed, the client is leaving.." Another "technically gifted all-rounder!" Well, remind me a bunch of how it stalled on Red Square.
I immediately remember the misadventures of Kotin and his brainchild - the thirty-four. His brainchild was given to him at the cost of his life. And the diesel engine What??? Don't start it in winter! Worthless!!! And who will repair it? The weapons are weak and complex, and the personnel are untrained. etc. etc. Nothing went through the whole war, and even gave life to a whole generation of descendants. “Wait, kids, just give it time!

It’s too expensive to test a prototype in real combat.

Stalin was not afraid to send prototypes of the SMK, KV (which later became known as the KV-1), and T-100 for testing to the Mannerheim line, and it was based on the test results that the KV went into production. Alas, today’s effective leaders are in a certain position before Stalin’s people’s commissars.

  Is it okay that the secret damaged tanks were evacuated, and the T-34 and KV-1 were classified until the start of the Second World War?
  The combat use of the excellent KV-1 heavy tank (the question of the KV-2's participation in the Finnish War remains open) and a number of other prototypes was limited and essentially experimental.

  And one secret T-90M “Proryv” has already been given to the enemy, and now it is no longer so secret. So, in my opinion, it would be better to stop the combat “tests” of the latest secret models of tank equipment. Why I think so, I already wrote in this comment:

The main problem is not the characteristics of the Almata, they are good. Apparently no oncoming tank battles are expected, which means the armata will have nowhere to prove itself. On the other hand, the cost is high, and this is important. We need to remember the lessons of World War II. While the USA made one Vilis, Germany made one Tsundap at the same cost.

In war, they produce something that can fight quite successfully and does not create big technological problems. According to our mentality, we always try to compare some ideal with our reality, but the ideal never exists. Military budgets are being “sawed” all over the world and “points are rubbed in” no less than ours. And there are also plenty of fools there... I don’t want to offend anyone, but according to my experience, the most notorious scammers and fuckers shout about “zrada” the most. What the author talked about is the usual story of the birth of new technology. No one in this country (with the exception of a small management stratum) could have imagined such a SVO in a nightmare. The creators of the Armata took everything that met the design requirements. If they took “their own”, then they could immediately forget about the innovative product. Now they will test it in war and if the game is worth it, they will create factories, attract literate people and remove the fools. Otherwise, our “rebellious Russian elite” will simply be burned out with a hot iron. Wait and see. There is no catastrophe yet. The enemy's tanks are no better yet... Everything has its time.

Therefore, all that UVZ can offer is manual assembly of the T-14 one by one

What do machines and manual assembly have to do with it?
Show me where tanks are assembled by robots?

Nobody knows for sure about the microelectronics on the basis of which all these boxes are made, but since we don’t produce anything ourselves,

Who told you that?

What will happen in this "military version" of the T-14, you know? Yes, almost the same T-90, only slower. But it's already being released.

What about the T90's unmanned turret?

One can understand how difficult it is for domestic manufacturers of equipment such as Shvabe, Cyclone, and Katoda to work in such conditions.
Of these, I dealt only with Schwabe. It left a nasty impression. They don’t need anything, they’re already doing well. The prices for upgrading our equipment were so high that we did everything ourselves on our own. And their advertising is well done.

The article focuses on the problem of the weakness of the Russian military-industrial complex, killed by years of "reforms" and the rule of "effective managers", and not on the fact that the Armata tank is crap. If you disagree, comment with reason.

You see. You, those who are looking for “truth,” constantly forget to look for VICTORY. Your entire search for “truth” is contained in the very process of blowing negative snot and whining about “corruption-everything is lost-Putins leaked-where”, etc., reassuring each other with this substance.

Under Stalin, tanks were given names, for example KV - Klement Voroshilov. T-14 Armata, also requires an author - T-14 SSh- Sergei Shoigu? Or T-14 DM - Denis Manturov? Yes, maybe also DR - Dmitry Rooozin? The result is that these are excellent specimens for the museum history of Russian tank building.

It’s definitely worth avoiding further deep modernizations of the T-72, as the years go by. I don’t know whether it will be “Armata” or something else, but sooner or later (preferably sooner) we will HAVE to lay the first stones in the further “workhorse”. In this regard, a universal platform is a very suitable solution. I’m not surprised that there are problems at least. We’ve really gone overboard with populism for years, playing with wet fantasies..

Strange person, author. Armata, not a tank. Platform. Concept on the basis of which a line of various armored vehicles will be produced. We could have ended there, but we will. T-14. Concept. Quite crude, with a full range of childhood diseases. If If you remember what was said about its production, then the question of why it is not there will disappear. And at the official level it was said that a pre-production batch will be released for operational testing in the army. This means that 10-15 vehicles will be tested by soldiers for “fool-proofing.” Based on the result will make a decision about its future fate. The T-14 in the form in which it was shown to us may never appear in units.

Some members of the VO forum have the opinion that an MBT with an uninhabited turret is the exclusive prerogative of Soviet/Russian tank building! Maybe this is true....or maybe not! I first learned about tanks with an uninhabited (“low-silhouette”) turret and about MBTs with a gun mounted on the hull on a special platform from the journal “Foreign Military Review,” whose articles are based on foreign materials from open military-technical sources! The article examined the possible development of foreign tank building in the future based on the proposed projects... That's where tanks with low-silhouette uninhabited turrets, with guns outside the turret on special rotating platforms... (for example, the "Washers" type)... with a crew were described
in an armored capsule...!

Well, how does he know that the engine on the Armata is not reliable?? Is there such data? No.
Why did he decide that we don’t have electronics? Is friendship with China already over?
Finally, he knows everything about our production capabilities. Some also say that we have the latest missiles, but the electronics for them and the factories are plowing...

It will not exist for one simple reason: our entire army lives on the legacy of the USSR and its completion.

Question: wouldn’t it have been better to further increase the power of the B92? Increase the volume, say to 46 liters (as on Leopard 2).

Install 2 turbines, one at a time for each A cylinder head, and not “one for everything” (and even with an inefficient exhaust tract), you see, this will increase power and at the same time reduce turbo lag.

You cannot promote equipment at parades that has not yet been developed into series. In the case of Armata, this led to the West hastily busy modernizing its tanks and installing KAZ on them, which they have brought to mind. Even if made in Israel. And they will bring it to mind. There are enough opportunities. But we, Armata, are a really big question.

Funny question

If there are no heat guns and microelectronics anymore, then why are the T-80bvm, t-72b3m, t-90m, t-62/2022 all being produced with new sights and equipment? Or is it all from stock?

For the same pine, the production of matrices was localized quite a long time ago

And if it weren’t possible to make radars, they wouldn’t be delivering the Su-57 with the same Afar now, for example

Engine problem - yes. But how global is the question. Without access to special information, nothing can be said about this.

The author gives a bleak picture. The existing engine does not provide sufficient power for modern tanks. The electronics that modern tanks should have are produced in insufficient quantities in Russia.
But what is the conclusion, will the decision not to improve the engine and not to establish electronics production be correct? I don't think so. Should we produce the T-90 and modernize the T-72? Yes, we should. Is it necessary to finalize a new engine in order to be able to develop the next generation of tanks? Yes, we should.

But this phrase, repeated twice, does not inspire confidence, to put it mildly:

>to modernize and partially repurpose about 200 enterprises that would supply components for the Armata

Ok, how can we imagine this in the conditions of modern Russia?
Well, suppose the government issues certain decrees in this regard, promises many preferences... to whom?
And who will lead this difficult task in a totally corrupt country? Where is that honest and incorruptible Lavrenty Pavlovich, who three times during his career transported entire industries from railway transport to state security?
Sorry, but Lavrenty Pavlovich had an idea and it was understandable.
And who will take on Armata and not steal the funds? The conventional Zolotov, robbing his own subordinates, or the conventional Medvedev with vineyards in Tuscany?
No, guys, without fundamental changes in the country, no Armata is possible, sorry for the pessimism.

"Armata" will not be. You can disperse

how many such statements were there, and from each one concerning the next new weapon of Russia.
Either the Bulava missile will never take off, or the Pantsir will not shoot down anything, and if the money for new weapons is not given to pensioners, then the “failed” project certainly needs to be closed and dispersed.
Exactly as we hear from that same West in relation to Russia, they say close the project with the name “Russia” forever and run away with your piece of the land of that very Russia.
And such articles are useful from a historical perspective, just as old propaganda leaflets in Ukraine are now useful on the eve of the referendum on its independence in the early 90s, well, the very ones in which Muscovites ate all the Ukrainian lard and Ukraine feeds and supports Russia.
History put everything in its place and it became clear to everyone who fed whom in the USSR and who hung on someone else’s neck.
The Armata already exists and in the next few months it will be tested in real combat in the Northern Military District and then for many decades it will become the best battle tank in the world.

Armata is not a tank, it is a laundromat for laundering people's money by military cronies and accomplices. They rode in the parade, fought in cartoons on TV, aroused the pride of poor patriots, scattered the resulting loot abroad, and then the grass did not grow. That the ignorant people scattered at the front are turned into minced meat is not important to the Jew (Russian women still give birth), what is important is the gesheft.

It is clear that there is no new tank, there never was and there never will be. Not everyone still understands what NOT TO do. The T-14 is of no use in the current war. For...
What is a tank for?!? In order to reach the enemy’s forward position under heavy opposition, stick the muzzle into the embrasure of the enemy pillbox, and fill it with a fire mixture in addition to the reinforced propellant charge. So that there are many corridors around, everything is either burned out or deaf. (similar to burning out an anthill with saltpeter).
Accordingly, for this to happen, the gun needs to be lowered almost to the ground, which means the tank’s layout is no longer suitable.
In order for a tank to reach this front line, it must be completely protected from hits from ground-based air and other ATGMs. And not only before contact with the armor, but also on the approach trajectory. This means that it must have an autocannon with a radar and ammunition with ready-made fragments, which shoots down not only anti-tank missiles, UAVs, and saboteur crows just in case, but also accurately sends shells with ready-made fragments to any place where, even theoretically, an enemy infantryman could be located. By the way, that’s exactly what we did with our concept.
And the enemy at the moment of our attack should not aim at the hatches of our tanks as in WOT, but sit in his trench deaf, blind, and without communication. And for this, the tank (and supporting artillery) must have shells with all sorts of flash-noise, smoke, electromagnetic, etc. shells. Which so far only exist in Putin’s propaganda cartoons.

So, summing up, we can confidently say, only in verse - Winter will pass, summer will come. THANK YOU Putin for this!
It would also be gratifying if the industry produced the Armata MSL en masse, the Defense Ministry would arm all the Putriots with it, and send everyone to proudly storm Avdeevka.

In 2014 they said that production would begin in 2015. It is not clear why the design of the tank itself, despite the opinions of experts, already contains serious weaknesses? Apparently, it was really necessary to increase the volume of the old engine a little and add a couple of turbines. Decisions were made in the dark. Why is the option of a breakthrough tank of the armored fortress type not being considered? He wouldn’t need all this heap of bells and whistles and then he wouldn’t need speed.

Unfortunately, for a correct assessment of the complex, of which the T-14 is an element, very high qualifications and access to data are required at the level of developers of tank subsystems. This does not mean that obvious things - minimum production volumes - should not be criticized.
I do not agree with the author on everything and in technical details, but I am not ready to discuss these details for obvious reasons - you cannot escape the curious, and supplying enemies with data is not only immoral, but there are simply articles of the criminal code that have not been repealed.
In general, I would pose the question more broadly: how should we organize civilian control, in particular, over developments in the military-industrial complex in order to, on the one hand, ensure objective, even developmental control (and this presupposes a very high level of qualifications and general organization of work) and at the same time, so that data about our developments, achievements, pain points did not become the property of our enemies... There is something to think about here.

I personally have no gloating or pleasure from the above. But even since the publication of the appearance of this machine, I have repeatedly written that it has no future. And this is not my vision and my understanding of the futility of this direction. The USSR State Commission after the tests of this machine in 1989 with a 152 mm gun refused to accept it for service.. The answer is simple. Due to the combination of costs, complexity of production and limited range of actions, this machine is not capable of being a multi-purpose tank. After all, what is the merit of Soviet tank building. Our scientists managed to create tanks multi-purpose with the requirements for a “peacetime” tank.. Often our home-grown armchair experts, when comparing foreign tanks with ours, are mistaken in the most important thing - Western vehicles have a narrow range of actions.. Even the vaunted Abrams cannot perform some of the functions of a combined arms tank... From the first day criticism of this machine, an alternative was proposed - the creation of combat land complexes. But alas, this will not happen in the existing Tsarist Russia until these complexes appear in the West and we shed a lot of blood... The USSR would, but the Russian Federation - no. .They will copy, steal, but it will never be better, simpler and more reliable under this regime and the existing model of power in the Russian Federation. Russia has lost its individuality and independence.. and not only in matters of defense... The intellectual reserve of the USSR is drying up.. And the corrupt elite is always ready and continue to trade in the Motherland.. Although Russia is not the Motherland for them, given the massiveness of one nation that has bothered everyone.. Look around and take a closer look at the large “businessmen” around you and you will begin to understand a lot with surprise..

I understand that you will have to climb into the tank with dirty feet? The hatches are made so that, for example, now in the Donbass a generation of dirt can crawl out and then climb into the tank with the dirt? Plus, to straighten up in the tank you need to open the hatches. In my opinion, it is not very conveniently invented. But where a tank would come in handy is during counter-battery combat, against flying targets from above, all sorts of javelins, and so on. I’m thinking of removing the cannon altogether and installing missiles. If such a tank is not the first to go into battle. He has no protection on the tower. There are almost no tank battles, mostly battles in urban areas where large calibers are needed. We need systems so that they work automatically, shoot at you, and so that a rocket immediately flies to the same place.

From the beginning of the author of the article, a BIG PLUS, the truth and complete leads to the better, no matter how bad it is.

They never managed to correctly solve water cooling in either diesel or gasoline engines. Take the idea from the Germans for a tank and an engine error at the start.
How to get rid of this? And here 3 and the mortal sin is PRIDE. China is a strategic partner of Russia, China today is the leading industrial state in the world, their electronics often exceed their Western counterparts and Russian air defense systems, radars and avionics on new aircraft. They have copies and licensed production of all the best engines in the world, AND WHAT WOULD “CONSTRUCTORS” in Russia know AND KOREA AND THE JAPANESE MAKE MUCH BETTER ENGINES THAN THE EUROPEANS OR THE USA.
Hyundai, Korean, etc. This means there is simply an agreement with China on JOINT DEVELOPMENT AND PRODUCTION OF A NEW UNIVERSAL ENGINE FOR MILKING TANKS AND SPG AND QUICKLY WAITING FOR NOTHING AND WASTING TIME!!! " ACCIDENTALLY "

  In addition, it looks like a German or a Frenchman regarding industry or electronic devices IT LOOKS IN THE PAST CENTURY, THEIR TIME IS LONG GONE. zpr. The thermal matrix of the French, or the radar of the Italians, the Chinese are already at their level or better today, and TOMORROW THEY WILL BE MUCH BETTER THAN THEM!!!

“On November 26, 2021, during an inspection of production by Deputy Minister of Defense Alexei Krivoruchko, the military representative of Uralvagonzavod said that twenty of the newest T-14 Armata tanks will be delivered to the combat units of the Ground Forces by the end of 2021. He did not specify which unit the newest tanks will receive, noting that “this is determined by the main armored department”[120].

On December 24, 2021, Rostec announced the launch of serial production of the Armata tank[121]. year, we must assume that the number of T-30s has grown significantly during this time... At the end of December 14, serial production of the Armat began, apparently the production of pre-production tanks (and over a hundred of them were planned for testing) was completed (“August 2021, speaking at at the Army-14 forum, Deputy Minister of Defense Alexey Krivoruchko said that the Russian Ministry of Defense signed a contract for an initial batch of 2022 T-22 and T-2018 combat vehicles on the Armata platform. Wikipedia)... Total: most likely, over 132 Armata tanks are available, soon there will be much more.... So, not everything is as bleak as the author of the article is trying to make it out to be. As for chips, not everything is so bad here: a tank is not a smartphone, there is no need to fight for every gram of mass... So Russia may well use the chips that it produces, well, and purchase chips, including .h. and parallel imports have not been canceled. Mr. Skomorokhov has already proven here that at the beginning of September 14, near Izyum, the T-15M was abandoned by its crew and captured by the Ukrainian Armed Forces as a trophy... Mr. Skomorokhov then demanded that all those responsible be brought to justice without any leniency: ordinary tankers, officers, generals, etc. d Almost six months have passed: somehow our T-100M is not visible, no one is filming in front of it, there are no excursions to it for Biden, Scholz, Macron, etc., Zelensky is not trying to climb onto the T-2022M (but what kind of PR), not shown in the news... In reality, no one saw the allegedly captured T-90M, not a single soul and, most likely, it never existed... Which is what I also wrote about in September... This is how pseudo-sensations are born from Ukrainian propaganda... It’s unpleasant that these rumors are being circulated here, the same can be said about various “Svidomo” gossip about the T-90 “Armata”.

Everything is written correctly.
We had thermal imagers, UV receivers, homing heads and were mass-produced back in 1985. Then we rebuilt them. Now there is nothing and nothing is expected. There is no industry, but come on, you can get money, but you won’t be able to create something worthwhile.
I will add that we need armored vehicles on a massive scale, the T-34 was not better than the Tiger, but tens of times more of them were produced, which is why they won.
In our realities, this is a T-55/T-62 (and the T-55 is even more interesting because of the rifled gun) supplemented with a laser rangefinder and ATGM "Metis", "Cornet". You need to make a turret box, open at the top, and put a fighter there with this ATGM (in this turret box I would also make a simple turret with manual guidance for the second fighter under the AGS). You need to cover your forehead with dynamic protection tiles, hang a remote screen and... it will do.
This is a temporary measure until the T-55/T-62 runs out.
In general, it is necessary to put on the assembly line analogues of ASU-57, ASU-85, PT-76, modernized BMP-1 (with the Bereg/Berezhok complex), MTLB, i.e. everything we can give.
You just need to give 500-1000 units of armored vehicles per month and make boilers for them (preferably deep ones).
"Armata", wow, they made me laugh.
Three of them were made. We show one at the parade, test another, and take the third to exhibitions.
Even if we cure all the “childhood” diseases of “Armata”, our funding will be enough for 20 units. "Armat".

But for this it was necessary to invest money in industry. Repurpose those same 200 factories that would begin to produce components and spare parts for hundreds of Armatas.
And return the factories to the state!!!

  Take it away from the privatizers? It would be right. But it is necessary to prescribe a corresponding law for this...

All this is fortune-telling from scratch in the style of “grab the bags, the station is leaving!” Only the developers and production workers know how in reality, and they have never stated anything like this. The T-14 is shown at all forums and exhibitions definitely not to disgrace the whole world. I admit that the T-14 will not reach mass production, just as the T-44 did not go into production, but instead they received the T-54/55.
By the way, about military tests: during the Karelian War, KV and SMK, which existed in single copies, were sent to the front. Su-57s that “do not exist in the series” were allegedly kept secretly in Syria. Why not examples? Why can't the same thing happen with the T-14?

I read the title. I immediately scroll down the article and find out who the author is. I see Skomorokhov. I am closing the article.

  Yes, there are enough armchair experts. It seems like other reviews are coming from the battlefield.

The country is suffering losses due to the greed and impunity of some pro-government leaders and managers. Even during the Soviet “stagnation” this was not allowed: either the wall, or “sunny Magadan”......

The T-14 tank is the brainchild of the unsinkable Shoigu. And as always, we got into trouble...

I think that we need to create a new tank, since we have finished with the armature, on the same suspension according to the classical scheme with a large manned turret, we will bring the engine to life

  Merkava seems to be quite good as a model for us.

Colleagues, after this publication, showed them online more than once: “Armata” in battle. The "terminator" installation has proven itself to be the best.
The T-73b3 "biathlon tank* was criticized a lot
And my boy is now fighting on it. He says: “T-72 b3v modification 2016 is one of the most advanced of our time*
It seems to me that my son, on the front line, knows better
