Russian t-14 armata main battle tank12/23/2023 ![]() ![]() ![]() The detection range of the tank's optical sensors is ~5 km for tank-sized targets at day, and 3.5 km at night through the thermal imaging channel. Noteworthy features include an absence of a fume extractor (due to the unmanned turret), a firing rate of 10–12 rounds per minute, and a maximum effective-penetration range of 8 km. The main armament of the T-14 is the 2A82-1M 125 mm (4.92 in) smoothbore cannon, a new replacement for the 2A46 of previous Russian and Soviet tanks. The development of the tank took five years and was initiated after the earlier, incrementally innovative, T-95 (object 195) project was cancelled, after protracted development, with authorities citing excessive weight, complexity, and cost. The most significant new feature is the use of an unmanned turret, with the crew of three seated in an armored capsule in the front of the hull. Featuring a number of innovative characteristics, the T-14 represents a new generation of Russian main battle tanks. ![]()
