The Russian prospective tank T-14 "Armata" may ultimately turn out to be a "complete failure." This is how the combat vehicle was characterized by Stavros Atlamazoglou, a journalist for the American magazine The National Interest (TNI).
According to him, the 55-ton tank armed with a 125-millimeter cannon allegedly faced problems with cost and production delays.
By all accounts, the T-14 "Armata" "should be considered a failed project."
The T-14 "Armata" tank is the main battle tank of the Russian army with an uninhabited turret based on the universal tracked platform "Armata". The manufacturer of the combat vehicle is "Uralvagonzavod". Initially, the tank used an A-85-3A engine with a capacity of 1500 hp. The T-14 has the ability to launch missiles through the gun barrel.
Sergey Chemezov, General Director of the Rostec State Corporation, previously noted that the T-14 "Armata" is far superior in performance to existing tanks, but is unlikely to be used on the front lines due to its high cost.
Earlier, www1.ru reported that an expert found a radical solution to the problem of the shortage of AEW&C aircraft for the Russian Aerospace Forces, he proposed reviving the Yak-44.
