Object 148 - T-14 tank "Armata"

A modern machine, created by Russian developers and military, has radically new systems. In addition, the main difference between the "Object 148" tank is that each separate combat unit in the cabin is divided into compartments. Of course, the machine just did not appear. There was a predecessor, which got the name "Object 450". A little later, his working designation was "T-74". In addition, when modeling the tank, "Object 195" was also taken into account. In fact, the best sides of these models were combined in the new Russian weapons.

Armament

The first modifications had a gun of 125 mm. The tower was not used by soldiers by soldiers, it was completely subordinated to digital remote control. Thanks to this, the T-14 ("Object 148" - its second name) has become one of the more convenient in shooting when driving. The machine is capable of firing 10-12 rounds per minute. In addition, it should be noted that the flight range is 7 thousand meters. The government of the Russian Federation has more than once clarified that this tank is many times more powerful than a German-made NATO machine.

Passive booking

According to unconfirmed reports, the tower of the tank is protected by a special casing, which protects from debris. Thanks to him, all the devices in the car remain unharmed, even if the shell exploded in relative proximity. It is also capable of weakening the radio signal of even the most powerful designs to hide the whereabouts of the Object 148 and its crew.

The main feature of passive armor in this technique is that commanders and the driver are in a special compartment that is separated from the rest of the car.

Dynamic protection

The designers who assembled the tank claim that a new type of dynamic protection will be installed on it. It will be the best solution against NATO weapons, because it will be able to withstand many of the projectiles of the organization. Surprisingly, this is confirmed by the head of the Bundeswehr himself.

In an interview given by the staff of GBTU, it was said that the object 148 of "Armata" would become resistant against various missile designs. In this case, it concerns both the full protection of the hull and the roof of the tank. No one gives more precise characteristics. But it was said that in the defense, the machine will bypass exactly such models as "Relic" and "Contact-5".

Aiming complex

According to the statement of the Russian Federation, an antenna array system will be installed in the tank, which is used to provide the Russian fighter of the 5th generation. Such a radar will be able to work, even if part of the equipment panel has already been destroyed. At the moment, in the conditions of modern combat operations, in which the method of "blinding" shells is used, the availability of such a system will be decisive.

Automatic combat systems

Like other tanks of the Armada series, the T-14 is equipped with a combat system. This is due to the fact that many designs began to be created not for conducting single combat, but for contacting a group of combat vehicles, performing the reconnaissance function, etc. The Government of the Russian Federation could not deny itself the pleasure of installing this unit on its own machine. This will significantly reduce the burden on soldiers in conditions of combat readiness.

Protection against mines

The mine search system and a special bottom, which does not burst from the explosion of the projectile, is what the T-14 Armata tank is rich in. Object 148 (such is the index given by the Defense Ministry) has a special function that allows you to control mines at a distance. It deliberately changes the magnetic field of the machine, slightly deforming its structure, due to which the weapon is torn apart from the machinery area. In the cabin there are chairs that are resistant to an explosion, so the crew will remain in perfect order. All the details that are aimed at protecting against mines are made of special material that absorbs energy.

Protection against shells

"Afghanistan" is what will protect the tank T-14 ("Object 148") from the rupture of shells. This system is capable of intercepting rocket-propelled grenades, including cumulative grenades, and missiles designed for the complete destruction of tanks. Moreover, this option is capable of knocking off armor-piercing projectiles.

The developers shared the fact that as additional protection the tank was equipped with a special machine gun installation. It is capable of hitting even flying BPS on the move. It is rumored that the "Armada" will have a system that can shoot down ammunition moving at a speed of 3 thousand m / s.

Protection against missiles

In order to protect the "Object 148", the tank was equipped with destructive elements with active action, as well as masking veils. These options are fundamental in protecting against missiles. They act in such a way that they hide the signal and heat emanating from the tank. Due to this, the projectiles can not determine where the target is, and the equipment remains safe. In addition, if the rocket is in a certain place above the tower, it will be destroyed by an automatic system of machine-gun construction.

Comparisons with tanks of other countries

The defense of the United States of America at one of their press conferences announced that the development of Russian technology will lead to new standards in the industry. It was about the T-14 tank. "Object 148" will become the next generation car. Compared to other foreign-made tanks, this one has a number of advantages, and it is more resistant to enemy attacks. And the Chinese manufacturers, although they recognize the leadership of the Russian offspring, still claim that their new MBT-2000 design is better. This is explained by an improved suspension.

Export

So far, the export of the tank is not settled, but it will be possible in the near future. Before the order is signed, the Russian Federation first wants to fully meet the needs of the state defense. And also after securing the transportation of equipment from abroad, the secrecy will be completely removed from the tank.

Already, such countries as Egypt, India and China expressed their need for the "Object 148" tank. And also interested in the assembly and the micro-district of Southeast Asia.

Suspension and better stability of the tank

The new tank uses a suspension that was created quite recently, which is different from many modern machines. It is an active type, so it will allow better to keep the structures in difficult-to-reach places. US experts said that this will help even improve the level of fire from moving equipment. Explain this fact can be due to the fact that the suspension will reduce the shaking of the machine model "Object 148".
