Tanks of the future will become adaptive and modular, capable of operating without a crew, while receiving enhanced multi-level protection and powerful weaponry. This was announced by Igor Meshkov, a member of the board of directors of the Uralvagonzavod concern.
According to him, the main role of a tank on the battlefield is to destroy the enemy by direct fire, withstanding the impact of the main means of destruction.
The need for such a combat vehicle will not disappear. Therefore, the tank of the future, as today, must retain its basic qualities: it is a maneuverable, cross-country vehicle on a tracked chassis with the possibility of equipping powerful cannon armament, with a rotating turret and with the strongest protection among armored vehicles.
Meshkov added that future vehicles will be subjected to even denser and more powerful fire from anti-tank weapons, artillery and other tanks, as well as air strikes and, of course, FPV drones, UAVs with artificial intelligence and swarms of drones. In this regard, tanks of the future should have more multi-level all-aspect protection.
This will be an echeloned protection consisting of passive and active armor, add-on screens and fences, an active protection complex, an aerosol interference complex, electronic warfare systems and laser destruction, and other means.
Earlier,www1.ru reported that the "Akhmat" armored vehicle survived the attacks of seven kamikaze drones and drove to the rear on three wheels.
