Future of Russian unmanned T-14 “Armata” is revealed

The Russian T-14 Armata tank “will not be mass-produced in an unmanned version and will rather be used to test the relevant technologies.” Bekkhan Ozdoev, industrial director of the Rostec armament complex, revealed the corresponding future of the combat vehicle to Izvestia.

The manager remarked that “this demonstrates well the height of the bar that we have set for ourselves.” “Given the fact that this combat vehicle implements unprecedented design solutions, the path from blueprint to commissioning cannot be short,” said the industrial director.

Ozdoev added that the T-14 “Armata” is distinguished not only by “good protection and firepower”, but also by its “intelligence, that is,” a high level of automation, which gives the crew more opportunities on the battlefield. ” >

In February, RIA Novosti, referring to Rosoboronexport, reported that the T-14 Armata had “an advertising passport.”

In July 2020, the agency reported that this Russian tank had worked without a crew during preliminary tests.

In July 2018, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Yuri Borisov noted that the country’s Armed Forces do not seek to massively purchase T-14 Armata tanks due to their high cost, preferring to increase the combat potential of the existing military equipment through its modernization.
