The T-14 main battle tank (MBT) can be seen at rehearsals in honor of Victory Day, but the combat vehicle will be covered with a camouflage coating. Such camouflage will distort the silhouette of the MBT and will not allow us to evaluate its layout. Therefore, the full debut of the T-14 can be expected no earlier than the parade on May 9. Earlier, some media outlets assumed that the new tanks would be shown during the transfer of the first test batch of T-14 to the troops, which will take place before the Victory Parade, according by Naked-Science.
It is reported that the crews have already begun to master the new tank. In addition to the MBT, an infantry fighting vehicle, an engineering vehicle, a self-propelled artillery unit and a number of other combat vehicles will be created on the basis of the new tracked platform "Armata". The T-14 tank will differ from its predecessors, first of all, in its remotely controlled unmanned turret - such a layout will improve the protection of the crew. The MBT will receive a 125-mm smoothbore gun 2A82-1M and active protection "Afganit".
The tank crew consists of three people. On the highway, the vehicle can reach speeds of up to 75 km/h. Earlier, representatives of the Ministry of Defense criticized the project, crystal.com.kz. They were dissatisfied with the unsatisfactory operation of the fire control system, as well as the inflated price of the product. However, the military will not abandon the tank, and the shortcomings will obviously be gradually eliminated.
