Russian Dep PM Rogozin: " This Armata tank isn't for parades. But we'll make an exception for May 9th." (M.Kp).[GoogleTranslate].

The tank "Armata" tower in the desert will be a new 125 mm smoothbore gun, it - launcher. That is, you can shoot as conventional ammunition and guided missiles. 

What kind of gun, can be represented at least by the fact that its predecessor could pierce armor thickness of up to one meter of conventional shells from a distance of two kilometers. In this case, the predecessor is easy to fit a row of four projectile at a target the size of a bow scarf. Guided missile hit the target allows for the range of 5 - 7 km. In addition, there is coupled with the gun 7.62 mm and a heavy anti-aircraft machine guns. All weapons - with remote control.

So now it is not a gunner, and a high-tech fire control system (FCS). "Armata" get MSAs with radar capable of simultaneously carry up to 40 land and up to 25 air targets within a radius of 100 km, and automatically destroy them when entering the affected area.

"Armata" will shock the universal machine of the Ground Forces of Russia. It will bring together a full tactical missile system, air defense system, a complex of military reconnaissance and target designation and, in fact, himself a tank. JMA and other electronics are integrated into the combat information and control system - the "digital board." It is intended for start-up and management, diagnosis and adjustment of the machine. Even in the case of failure to decide what and how to fix will not repair crew or crew, namely "smart" electronics.

"Horses" spoiling for a fight

Mobility "Almaty was" provides an X-shaped 12-cylinder turbocharged diesel. Its capacity - 1500 "horses", while boosting of - as many as in 2000! But in order to increase its share fell to 1,200 liters. p.

Developed motor in Chelyabinsk to replace born in the late 30s diesel V-2, which remembers all the generations of our tankers. In pair with the new motor will operate a new 12-speed automatic transmission with manual shift.

Armor grows stronger

Armor "Almaty was" - layered cake made ​​of metal, ceramics, and composites. It is based on established scientific research institute new steel armor steel, which has increased by 15% protective properties. At the same share of reduced weight and design. On saving the combat vehicle is running and the system dynamic protection production Kolomna KBM - "Afghani". Here too there is a radar that detects approaching the enemy tank shells, missiles and rocket-propelled grenades. Towards protective fired munition that destroys them at a safe distance of 15 - 20 meters.

In the future, "Armata" planned to install a better system protection "Barrier". But that's not all. The crew will cover not only basic protection, but also special bronekapsuly inside the hull. It is capable to save the lives of the tanks, if a foreign shell still will not stop any explosive reactive armor or new armor.

No analogues in the world

Knowledgeable experts believe that the combined characteristics of the "Armata" a third surpasses all existing analogues in the world. On Victory Day parade in Moscow Defense Ministry plans to hold a parade from 12 to 16 new tanks. Let's see what will be the main battle tanks Russian new generation.

"Boomerang" by "approaching"

It is expected that by 2020 the Russian Ground Forces will have adopted more than 11 000 units of new and upgraded armored vehicles.

It is planned to purchase from the defense industry modernized tanks T-72B3, infantry fighting vehicles BMP-3, modernized BMP-2 and BTR-82A.

To perform the state armament program, which covers the period from 2011 to 2020, planned to send 20 trillion rubles. ***

Serial production of tanks on a platform of "Armata" starts as expected in 2017 - 2018 years. This was stated by deputy director of the " Uralvagonzavod "by Vyacheslav Halitov special equipment. Hmmm.....If they show 12 - 16 it means they're producing it.....at full speed.

Hmmm....As i wrote three years ago "Rogozin....A man with a vision". The Russian 'Bear' isn't ready ....yet but he's preparing at full speed.
