T-14 Armata - new gen Russian tank

[Grey Havoc]

Assuming it is a tank shell we are talking about here, it could be an enhanced radiation and/or directed effects shell. Which would be rather problematic for NATO at best.

The article has some hyperbole, as is typical of that blog (and many others).
It's not all worthless, though. The problem is mostly that the author has no clue about what's important in tank designs or tank warfare.

Whether a tank is good at cold start at -20°C, can have its powerpack changed in less than 45 minutes or go farther than 200 km with battlefield manoeuvres on soft soil is much more relevant than whether its munitions reach past 3 km range.

If that were true tanks would have nothing but machine guns. ALL of a tanks capabilities are important, there is no one to rule them all. A tank with no engine is a glorified pillbox. A tank with no gun is a glorified bulldozer.

The article is indeed bad but it hits on an important point: Long range guided weapons, especially if they can be remotely targeted, can in certain engagement scenarios inflict highly disproportionate casualties in tank engagements. The tank that fires usually wins. The US military has every reason to be concerned about this because it was their own work which demonstrated it. Hence the decades-long investigation of the concept through RAKE, X-ROD, STAFF, TERM and MRM. Since US Army tankers have poor camouflage skills, US armored vehicles lack any meaningful top attack protection, the US Army lacks EW systems capable of interfering with their opponents communications, and the military has been unable to bring an APS system into service, the US military is in many ways particularly vulnerable to a weapon like this.

US adversaries are realizing that America has an asymmetric vulnerability to new weapons technologies because the glacial pace of US procurement bureaucracy makes it impossible for the US to bring genuinely new equipment into service on a reasonable timescale.

No idea why you think US army tankers having poor camouflage skill is a fact or how it can be a factor in US army vehicles lacking in meaningful top attack protection. It is a factor of placing the armour where the majority of attacks will come from. Mainly the frontal arc. Be it the M1, Challenger or the T-14, the attack versus defence balance will continue to be made with the best data available at the time. You mention the triad of armoured vehicles but perhaps there needs to be another element, information. New tech defence systems may mitigate the top attack vulnerablity.

https://www.janes.com/article/82552/russia-unveils-t-15-hifv-armed-with-57-mm-cannon?from_rss=1

Russia has unveiled a variant of the T-15 heavy infantry fighting vehicle (HIFV) fitted with a 57 mm auto-cannon set in a remote turret at the Army 2018 exhibition being held in Kubinka, near Moscow, on 21-26 August.

The cannon is most likely based on that used by the previous AU-220M combat module. The cannon itself is based on an advanced version of the AZP-57 used by the S-60 towed anti-aircraft (AA) gun system.

The turret is equipped with an independent panoramic commander sight and an independently traversable gunner sight. The main armament is complemented by a coaxial machine gun and a bank of two 9M120-1 Ataka laser-beam-riding and/or radio-frequency-link guided missiles located on the right-hand side of the turret.

WOW, what a find. thank you bobbymike. w/ Armata not being fielded for now it seems there is a understanding that near a 60mm is the way to arm an IFV. 60mm makes sense for CRAMA/counter-UAS and potentially in/direct fire if emerging compact /nano-energetics are mature enough.

 

[Avimimus]

That would necessitate advanced fusing though (which hasn't been demonstrated).

Since 40mm is appears on the path so dont think 60 is a problem.

wouldn't you just convert space for soldiers to space for ammo?

 

[Rickshaw]

wouldn't you just convert space for soldiers to space for ammo?

Ammunition masses a whole load more than does soldiers. This leads to weight distribution problems, particularly for an amphibious vehicle.

 

[GARGEAN]

wouldn't you just convert space for soldiers to space for ammo?

Not in case of T-15 (or Kurganets for that matter). It have unmanned non-intrusion turret, thus pushing it inside hull will take a significant amount of modifying vehicle. OTOH was done on Bumerang...

 

[Avimimus]

Quick question: The AU-220M and T-15 turret clearly don't have the Derivatsiya-PVO acquisition optics. But is it still possible that they could have the equipment to control the new guided round developed for the Derivatsiya-PVO? Or should we see these systems as completely different developments of the S-60?

 

[Avimimus]

It also occurred to me that a T-15 with the AU-220M could be a very effective weapon against the T-14. The 57mm could be very good at stripping ERA, Afganit, and sensors from the tank while one of the anti-tank missiles closed to finish it off. I wonder how effective 57mm high explosive rounds would be against optics in the tank as well? I wonder if one could produce a mission kill even without the anti-tank missile as a follow-up?

 

[Avimimus]

To answer my first question: In 2017 guided 57mm ammo was presented along with the AU-220M in the UAE... so it looks like it is possible (with some variant of the turret at least).

This looks like a depressing thread, where users talk about other tanks.

I will just make a huge post of what this entire thread is missing which is to talk about the specs of the tank itself.

«Армата» против «Леопарда»: новый русский танк превзойдет все мировые аналоги - Телеканал «Звезда»

«Армата» против «Леопарда»: новый русский танк превзойдет все мировые аналоги - В начале года Минобороны получит первую партию из 12-16 танков нового поколения «Армата». Эти машины придут на смену сразу трем основным танкам российской армии: Т-72, Т-80 и Т-90.

web.archive.org

“On "Armata", as well as on the T-50 fighter, the latest radar station with an active phased antenna array (AFAR) will be installed. There are no such solutions on any tank in the world. The system is capable of simultaneously leading up to 40 dynamic and up to 25 aerodynamic targets, controlling territory within a radius of 100 kilometers and automatically destroying targets up to 0.3 meters in size. Thanks to the presence of AFAR, Armata is positioned as a universal ground attack machine, which includes a full-fledged tactical missile system, an anti-aircraft defense system, an army reconnaissance and target designation complex, and the tank itself.”

The nearest line for intercepting missiles, shells or rocket-propelled grenades is 15-20 meters, and the maximum speed for intercepting armor-piercing subcaliber shells is 1700 m / s. In the future, it is planned to install an even more advanced Barrier protection system on Armata. It will already be able to intercept targets flying at speeds from 2500 to 3000 m / s.”

Armata tanks to be armed with 'Pterodactyls'

Armata tanks will be equipped with reconnaissance drones to ensure all-around scanning of the terrain for the crew

www.pravdareport.com

“The drone was called "Pterodactyl." The new lightweight UAVs is made of composite materials to ensure its durability and lightness. The cable-powered drone will be able to fly around the tank in a radius of 50-100 meters. It will also be able to ascend in the air for tens of meters. The portable radar and thermal night vision device will serve as the eyes of the "Pterodactyl."

125-мм пушка 2А82 для танка «Армата» Т-14

Коллега Gur Khan attacks! разместил в своем блоге небезынтересный материал 2А82 - супер пушка для Арматы про новую 125-мм танковую пушку 2А82, устанавливаемую на перспективных российских танках Т-14 (Объект 148) на платформе Армата. Опытный образец…

bmpd.livejournal.com

“A 152mm caliber 2A83 gun was planned to arm the promising Russian T-95 tank, which had just begun to be developed in those years. But the 2A82 125mm caliber was intended for completely different purposes. Namely, for the modernization of tanks of previous models. It was assumed that it would easily fall into place of the familiar 2A46 (D-81), in the worst case, with a slight refinement of the fighting compartments of the T-72, T-80 and T-90 tanks.

The 2A82 tank gun with an auto-bonded and partially chromed barrel uses all existing 125 mm ammunition and new promising ammunition. In particular, the BPS "Vacuum-1" (tungsten), "Vacuum-2" (uranium) 900 mm long, OFS "Telnik" with an explosion on the trajectory and the 3UBK21 Sprinter rocket. For this, the chamber part of the barrel channel is made with an additional forward taper section offset forward to pinch the leading belt of the projectile being charged. During the development, the possibility of placing serial tanks in the combat departments was taken into account.”

Can the T-14 Armata Main Battle Tank Possibly Match Its Hype?

by Sébastien Roblin. He holds a Master’s Degree in Conflict Resolution from Georgetown University and served as a university instructor for the Peace Corps in China. He has also worked in edu…

www.offiziere.ch

“Russia claims the 2A82 can pierce the equivalent of one meter of Rolled Homogenous Armor (RHA) at 2 kilometers using its new Vacuum-1 APFSDS round, which has a 0.9 meter long penetrator. If this claim is accurate, this would pose a real threat to top Western main battle tanks even at medium combat ranges”

Just looking at the Svinets-2 for being a uranium round had 90mm more penetration depth than the Svinets-1 which consists of Tungsten so there might be a possibility that the Vacuum-2 can go deeper.

What is the difference between sub-caliber and armor-piercing. Armor-piercing projectile. Arrow-shaped shells of anti-aircraft guns

“Apparently, the projectile for high-power guns in its appearance will be similar to other representatives of its class. He will receive a core of large elongation, equipped with a ballistic cap and armor-piercing damper in the head, as well as a stabilizer of a relatively small caliber. Earlier it was reported that the shells "Grifel-1" and "Grifel-2" will be equipped with cores of tungsten and uranium. At the same time, there are no data on the parameters of armor penetration of new shells.

According to various estimates, based on caliber and estimated energy indicators, "Slate" can penetrate at least 1000-1200 mm of homogeneous armor with an optimal angle of impact. However, there is evidence of some characteristic problems in the development of such ammunition. Due to certain objective limitations, the efficiency of the use of shot energy in 152-mm guns may be lower than in systems of a smaller caliber. Whether it will be possible to cope with such problems and make full use of the energy reserve of the propellant charge is unknown.”

I am hearing stories about these Grifel rounds having more than 1 meter penetration depth claims from a 152mm canon, so this might be a useful reference to the armata having a 152mm canon.

Producer of Russia’s Armata T-14 plans to create army of AI robots

A Russian defense firm that produces the brand-new Armata T-14 tank also plans to build an army of new combat robots within the next two years. This would be a next step towards machines guided by artificial intelligence, the manufacturer says.

www.rt.com

“Uralvagonzavod, the company that introduced the ‘super tank’ Armata T-14 back in May, is now trying to step away from piloted military technologies and is eager to develop artificial intelligence.

"We will be able to show prototypes in 1.5 to 2 years. We are gradually moving away from crewed machines," Vyacheslav Khalitov, the company’s deputy director general, said Tuesday.

As an example, he noted that the Armata now requires three crew members.

“Then it will be two and then without them at all,” Khalitov said.”

To answer your question with a question. How come a thread created back in 2012 does not list those so called old yellow papers? This thread is exactly like this thread https://www.secretprojects.co.uk/threads/2s35-koalitsiya-sv-howitzer.24163/ and that is providing no specific information on a project even though range estimates, rounds per minute, etc have been listed from sources before or information like what rounds they will have in the future, etc depending on their ongoing developments.
