The T-14 Armata is the latest generation of Russian-made main battle tanks which was unveiled during the military parade in Moscow for Victory Day, May 9, 2015. In December 2019, the Russian press agency TASS has announced that the contracts for low-rate initial production batches of the T-14 Armata MBT, the Kurganets-25 IFV, and the Bumerang (Boomerang) APCs for operational evaluation and trials have been signed.

In April 2020, a Russian government official says that the country field-tested its T-14 Armata main battle tanks in Syria. Russia has long used the Syrian conflict as an opportunity to test new weapons and other military equipment.

The T-14 Armata is equipped with an unmanned turret and all the crew is located at the front of the hull. The new unmanned remote turret of Arama T-14 is equipped with a new generation of 125mm 2A82-1M smoothbore gun with an automatic loader and 32 rounds ready to use.

The basic protection of the T-14 Armat is based on a new steel armour and metal-ceramic plates to provide protection STANAG 4569 Level 5 (25 mm APDS-T (M791) or TLB 073 at 500 m with 1258 m/s and artillery 155 mm High Explosive at 25 m). The Armata is protected with additional active and passive armour. The front of the tank is covered with reactive armor and the back has slat armor to increase protection against anti-tank RPG (Rocket Propelled Grenade) attacks. The T-14 Armata is protected with a new ERA (Explosive Reactive Armour).

The T-14 Armata is equipped with the Active Protection System (APS) Afghanit which seems similar to the Israeli Trophy able to intercept and destroy incoming missiles and rockets. The system is designed to work against all types of anti-tank missiles and rockets, including handheld weapons such as rocket-propelled grenades.

The defense relation between Bangladesh and Russia is growing recently. Bangladesh has bought APC, anti tank missiles, advanced jet trainers, and MI-171 helicopters from Russia. I would like to see Russia to conduct aggressive marketing to sell T-14 tanks to Bangladesh.

I think everyone is waiting on the Russian Army to induct these systems in large numbers before they make a move. After all, how can countries be confident of these systems' capabilities when the Russians themselves have drastically cut down orders, from a projected 2300 to just over 100? The latest plan to spend massive sums to modernize the existing T-72 fleet also further diminishes the credibility of the T-14.

I don't think Egypt will be involved in the purchase of the T-14 Armata. It doesn't make any sense ATM since they have close to 1,200 M1A1 Abrams, over 1,400 M60-A1s & A3s and just signed a contract with ToT to build 500 T-90MSs locally. Unless they intend on retiring the entire fleet of M60s, then it wouldn't make any sense especially with them recently opting to locally assemble 500 units of the T-90MS. We'll have to wait and see.

With the pandemic induced economic slowdown, Defense companies are lining up to exploit India’s sense of vulnerability exposed by China this year. Everything will be offered to milk the cow of the $500 Billion in India’s reserves, but all these products are just a mirage as India will have to focus on its economy for the years to come. The recent agreement between India and China in Moscow shows that India talks a big game but knows what really matters when choosing between “guns and butter”.

important to buy weapons from those who are like yourself. Only your true allies will never in any way diminish you and will want you to succeed. False friends, traitors, parasites and double agents are everywhere. Did the weapons you purchased last time work successfully? No? then why would you trust that manufacturer to provide quality weapons that will ensure you win the next time you fight?
