kotplus Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Interesting. Turret without crew. TC, Gunner and driver placed in front (special armored capsule). Munition under the turret separated from crew. We can see TC and driver on video 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marko Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Thanks for posting Looking forward to the Russian mayday parade we should get a good look at the Armata Tank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAJ_Fubar Posted March 24, 2015 Share Posted March 24, 2015 Looking at the large number of AFV losses in Ukraine due to flank/rear ATGM and close range RPG strikes, I think a reliance on sensors over the good 'ol Mk. 1 eyeball will come back to bite them with this design, but given the Russian propensity for fighting buttoned-up I guess it's par for the course. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 that's uncharacteristically tall for a russian tank 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
profevil Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 look at the spacing of the road wheels... And then at the M1A1.. Doesent look that tall, the tarp makes it look tall, but it looks like that is just covering instruments. Maybe metrology instruments for the gun or similar. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpow66m Posted March 25, 2015 Share Posted March 25, 2015 Looks like an old 1960s era AFV,not a modern Tank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesent look that tall, the tarp makes it look tall, but it looks like that is just covering instruments. Maybe metrology instruments for the gun or similar.I used the person standing in the hatch as a reference point (above pic). From what we can see of him, measures around 40 pixels. It's about 100 pixels from the ground to top of the hull. He would have to have an abnormally small head to measure 100 pixels in height.The upper covered part is probably a remote gun station/optronics. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Armata is a big tank, at least as large hull wise as a Leo 2 or Abrams, and with out the tarp I doubt it'll be much (~.25m at best) shorter. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dejawolf Posted March 26, 2015 Share Posted March 26, 2015 according to this pamphlet, the BMO-2, (flame thrower IFV from what i've gathered) based on the Armata chassis, is 9.19m long, and 2.86m tall, fitted with a 1500hp engine, and weighs 49 tons. so apparently the new russian IFV is going to be an IFV armoured like a tank. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wishful thinking on my behalf but could you imagine a Russian tank. That may be more advanced then the western Tanks in SB 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jartsev Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Engine front and turret rear. Poor infantry.Its not a turret, but a remote-controlled weapon station in fact, and virtually does not protrudes to the troop compartament.Did anyone notice the 4 tubes mounted in different directions on top of the hull, right of the TC?Its a hard-kill APS(probably "Drozd-2" derrivative). There are also a somekind of sensors visible. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Its not a turret, but a remote-controlled weapon station in fact, and virtually does not protrudes to the troop compartament.I thought they would bend the infantry into a new shape to make them fit like they have in the past.For a nation that needs large numbers, they chose the most expensive route for IFV/APC. Any info on procurement plans?There are also a somekind of sensors visible.I would guess viewing optics because the front face is too large for a detection sensor. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agiel Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 Well the Russian MOD has progressively slashed its order from ~166 for the production aircraft that would eventually come of the PAK-FA T-50 program down to as of this post 12 airframes as a result of the recent sanctions. I think it quite likely for the foreseeable future that the biggest customer for the latest and greatest of Russian conventional military tech will continue to be India. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jartsev Posted March 27, 2015 Share Posted March 27, 2015 For a nation that needs large numbers, they chose the most expensive route for IFV/APC. Any info on procurement plans?I have no idea. T-15 is a dedicated assault vehicle for high-threat environment(concept is somewhat close to Israely "Achzarit") and it can not be a primary vehicle of mechanized infantry units. The role of cheap mass-produced tracked IFV probably should be filled with BMP-3(its procurement was restarted recently) or new "Kurganetc-25"(development is far from completion, presumably), if russians will be able to fund such massive rearmament program.I would guess viewing optics because the front face is too large for a detection sensor.May be... Its too early to make any assumptions, IMHO. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note, particular test vehicle does not have an APS.it's as freakishly ugly as it's tall.i'm guessing the large box above the gun is the primary sight, with missile guidance device to it's side. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

May be a pano sight on top with radar antenna near it, and GPS is on the turret`s left... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
