Looking to raise a new Russian battalion, does anyone make the new Armata?
(See todays BBC news...) |

Posted on 28 April 2015 at 14:13:16 GMT It may take them a while if this is the version that they go on to produce. |

Posted on 28 April 2015 at 21:15:59 GMT And then you'll need to work out CWC stats! |

Posted on 29 April 2015 at 00:09:13 GMT By the time they go into full production you might need FWC stats  Looks like they've used some of the styles of other tanks, a bit of Merkava, Leopard etc. they'll be really expensive and there may be only a few hundred of them in 10 years time? |

Posted on 29 April 2015 at 09:39:46 GMT They still refusing to take the dust sheet off the turret then? I'm half tempted to conclude it's a wooden mock up still |

Posted on 29 April 2015 at 21:08:46 GMT Hmm, re production I heard the Russians say 100 units for troop trials would be produced next year. That would follow the traditional way they do things. |

Posted on 30 April 2015 at 06:50:13 GMT I should note that was on a Russian internet forum, and should be taken with a grain of salt. |

Posted on 30 April 2015 at 10:04:32 GMT I'm surprised it didn't claim there were legions of them ready to roll across the border already, then  With any luck we won't have a "live fire" Abrams/Chally/Leo vs Armata test... |

Posted on 30 April 2015 at 15:22:07 GMT There is a version of the T-14 on shapeways that would work for a FWC tank. It is based on the video with the twin 30mm auto-cannons. It doesn't match the photos with the shrouded turret or this video: http://rt.com/news/243725-armata-tank-russ... http://www.shapeways.com/search?q=t14 |

Posted on 02 May 2015 at 05:18:10 GMT That claim of 400 Armatas is way off. At 55+ tons per tank and a payload of 200 tons that is only three per aircraft. With only 80 aircraft planned that amounts to only 240 tanks plus some support vehicles. Of course they also included the fanciful video with the twin 30 guns.   |

Posted on 06 May 2015 at 21:20:10 GMT Note that the parade tanks clearly have some sort of thin metal plastered over their turret which obscures the true shape of it and the armour array.
An important point to pass on to any miniature makers looking to re-produce the T-14 from these prototypes! |

Posted on 07 May 2015 at 13:39:01 GMT They should supply just the hull, and let the gamer bodge up their own fantasy turret. It's what the Russians are doing |

Posted on 07 May 2015 at 19:54:52 GMT So, did it really break down at the rehearsal?
Or was it a drill?
Vote here please!... |
