The T-14 Armata Main Battle
Tank made its public debut in May 2015, at a time of renewed
tensions between Russia and the United States and its NATO
allies. The appearance of the T-14 was for Western observers
as much a revelation as the IS-3 heavy tank that made a
shock appearance in the Victory Parade in Berlin in
September 1945. After years of making do with updating
Soviet era tanks, the Armata is the first genuinely new
post-Soviet Russian design. The T-14 is technically
sophisticated and the first with a fully automated turret
entirely devoid of crew as one of many new design features.
However, the tank is expensive to build and maintain
compared to the T-90 and T-72B3 MBTs and requires
significant crew training compared with other tank types.
