How would you know that?
Leopard Einz prototype, is that you?
No side armor modules, much smaller turret than first thought, pretty much confirms it's unmanned. Hmmm have to wait and see on May 9th.
It seems that most people are skeptical on what it is exactly. Probably Armata, but T-14? Certainly not the final version.
After checking out some stuff: looks like Armata is based pretty hard on объект-195 (Object-195) which was supposedly ready for production ( http://vestnik-rm.ru/userfiles/663435.jpg -> ? ). Or maybe that's object 195? After searching I found this resource (on Object 195): http://vestnik-rm.ru/userfiles/663435.jpg and especially this: http://defence.pk/threads/object-195-aka-t-95.84754/ - it looks really uncannily similar to that thing on the pic. Certainly looks blocky and similarly bricky.
Genius mate, genius.
On dem internets--- a dark land... where you can't tell the sacrasm and the truth apart... one spudd... changes everything...
Btw, lel, the road wheel configuartion and turret look similar to that one as well: http://mtdata.ru/u19/photo1E5B/20343189943-0/huge.jpeg , and that thing is ******* old, it's rusting already...
Guys, I am from Russia, I read a lot information about "Armata" (Blogs of peoples from УралВагонЗавод, Reports the Ministry of Defence, etc.). That sources available only for peoples, who's know russian language.
I see news from west about T-14 (Object 148, Armata, whatever), they all be wrong. In truth, the majority of Russian Internet resources write nonsense, which themselves and come up with. Because all internet "experts" write what they think, they haven't real sources of information, other than his fantasies.
I read just information from Ministry of Defence, and from blog's of peoples, who work on that tank.
That's video from Sverdlovsk outskirts, I know that. That tank bigger, than T-72\80\90, that's just perspective of video. It's are Armata, and you can't see real silhouette of turret, because it's surrounded in wooden planks.
Side skirts removed for transportation and secrecy.
And that's are all we know. New 125mm gun, 2A82, unmanned turret, 7 new track rollers (not from T-80).
Conclusion:
- Think about it - it's are first video with T-14, published in internet. All that came before it - failed prototypes or someone fantasies.
- 97% that you read or see in Internet about that tank are lie.
- It's are real new tank of our Armed Forces. Not now, in 2016-2017. 15 prototipes be in limited use from February 2015.
- And yep, object 195\T-95 (Based on T-72) cancelled in 2010. Object 640\"Black Eagle" (Based on T-80) cancelled in early 2000. Armata are 100% new.
I hope the information was useful and interesting. This is what is stated in the official sources.
Sorry for bad english, hope you will no longer write about what you do not know. With respect, from Novosibirsk!
I guess we'll see if you are right on 9th of may, hmmm? =)
