In the Russian Federation announced "Armat" tanks in the war against Ukraine: whether they will be able to influence something
The focus understood whether a new technique would be able to influence the course of war and how many of them are in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. On December 25, Russian propagandist Volodymyr Solovyov stated that the T-14 T-14 tanks will soon be transferred to Ukraine by the Russian Federation. A video has been posted with at least two tanks are preparing for sending. The armata armored vehicles made their debut on the Red Square in 2015.
The T-14 T-14 T-14 should become a car for the "network-centered war". On the battlefield, they will be able to work in the same connection with T-90m "Breakthrough", BMPT "Terminator" and SAU 2C35 "Coalition-SV". Defense Express writes that the SAU has not yet received the army, "terminants" in it have up to ten, and "breakthroughs" too little for the same "network -centered war".
There is also fears that the T-14 can get into the hands of Ukraine, and from there by Western partners who will be able to disassemble the novelty of the Russian "defense". This has already happened to the T-90m, which not only destroy the Armed Forces, but also capture as trophies. In addition, the T-14 was very expensive for the Russian army. The cost of one tank ranges from $ 4. 5 to $ 5. 5 million. For this money, you can modify 7 T-72 level B3.
Speaking of the technical aspect, the T-14 offers a new crew layout. One of the main problems of survival of any tank is the tower where the crew members are. And in the Soviet-Russian also the fact that the crew sits just on the ammunition. In the Armat Tower is deserted, and all the fighters are located in the front, it should significantly increase the survival of the military when the rocket gets into the tower, as does the Javelin PTRC.
7 years since the appearance of equipment in public, the Russian army has received a experimental batch of 20 cars. The tanks have not yet gone into mass production because of engine, gearbox, tower and chassis. Therefore, in the Russian Federation the tests were completed again in 2023. At the same time, some of the problems have already been resolved. In the latest videos with "Armat", the sound of the engine is characteristic of a gas turbine power unit.
Therefore, even in connection with the T-14 terminants will not be able to significantly affect the battlefield. Such tanks need hundreds with other armored vehicles. And given the western sanctions, the question of the ability of the Russian Federation to produce tanks remains open. In addition, on April 15, Ukrainian intelligence noted that the Russian Federation stops the production of T-14 "Armata" tanks through Western sanctions and debts "Uralvagonzavod".
