According to him, the company is working on the development of tank support fighting vehicles.

A promising platform for a new generation BMPT may be the heavy infantry fighting vehicle T-15 of the family of tracked vehicles on the Armata platform.

A different module can be installed on a heavy infantry fighting vehicle, and this vehicle can be used in a different configuration – a tank support fighting vehicle, Potapov added.

As of 2025, the Armata has not appeared in the troops as a replacement for the past generation of combat vehicles T-72, T-80 and T-90. Journalists stated that in the current conditions, it is at least irrational to rearm the army with a new tank model.

Earlier www1.ru reported that the Lun missile ekranoplan will be restored in Dagestan.
