Description
Reminds me so much of this:
Pds23.egloos.com
Some info/speculation for all you curious non-Russophobes on the T-14. Or rather, a spanner in the works.
A: The turret might not actually be final. (decided to get that one out of the way first).
B: If it is final, it is likely its profile has been superficially distorted for obvious reasons (see: Se.uploads.ru).
C: As the turret armour is modular it is possible that it has not been applied in the images seen so far, further distorting its profile.
D: As seen in prior pictures of the presumed T-14 the modular side armour wasn't even applied during its transport/merry drive down the road.
E: REMEMBER; the Armata (not T-14) is a Universal Combat Platform, meaning the armour and armament varies across vehicle types. This can be anything from an SPG to a BMPT.
F: The T-14 will probably have the standard 125mm 2A82 to begin with, but the production version will almost certainly feature a higher calibre.
G: This is far from being just a step up of the T-90, and is rather a next generational leap. Certain elements of the technology implemented on the T-14 will be most likely be backported on to the T-90 MBT in the following years, as parts get cheaper due to mass production.
H: And finally, this is not a T-95.
Is it true that the crew is only 2 people for all variants?
God the hype is killing me can't wait for the Victory Day parade!
2? That's putting stress on the crew. It might be better if there's three. The third crew member would be an extra pair of eyes and a replacement for the driver or gunner in the event of either of them gets killed.
