During the past decade, Saudi Arabia has been interested in a promising Ukrainian tank of the new generation. It is a question of the development of a project, which in the Soviet times received the designation - "object 477".

This was on the air of the "Line of Defense" program, Sergei Berezutsky, an expert on armored vehicle engineering company "Science technology", said.

According to him, he participated in the development of this project in the 80's. Repeatedly received information about the possible participation of the running model of the latest tank in the parade (before 2014). However, it was kept secret.

Despite the fact that the design of the tank began more than 40 years ago, the ideas that underlie the concept of this tank are still promising, says S. Berezutsky:

" The armor does not have analogues, the charging mechanism, the 152 mm gun, the seven-channel fire control system. It was based on the Soviet elemental basis of those times. The screen was pixel-sized with a fist. So, with the use of modern electronics it would be possible to make a Tank which, as Americans say, is a game-changer. This is a real treasure of our defense industry. "

The expert believes that the further development and start of production of these tanks is "more than possible, it is necessary". He believes that the demand for tanks of this type will be "extraordinary".


Reference: Works on the tank of the new generation began in Kharkov at the KMDB after the Soviet era. After the collapse of the USSR, the work on the tank, which received the conventional name "Note" (object 477A1) lasted until the 2000s.

There is information on the production of about 10 samples of tanks that some were stored in Russia (It is now called the Armata T-14) and some on the territory of the KMDB (object 477A1 to be modernized)

*Saudi Arabia wants to revive the project and participate in the development and production with the transfer of technology in full.

So, this is the secret brother of the Armata T-14

The most important point is that the manufacture of a tank and possessing its technology and intellectual property rights will give KSA the base of all types of trucked armoured vehicles, tanks, tank hunters/killers, infantry fighting vehicles, missile vehicles/platforms (TELs), air defense vehicles/platforms, radars mounts/ vehicles, mortars' vehicles, guns vehicles.. All this in one project with some modifications..

Ukraine is now the US? Hiring a F*cking movie star as president who has no political experience. The tank will be good if it goes into production with modern technology.

That is why they need a partner to add western gear to the Tank.. the concept is the same as the Armata..

If he is pro Russia.. he will not be able to work in the Ukrainian defence industry..there are other highly qualified scientists in Ukraine..

I hope petro win presidential election he wearing an Saudi order and he is business man

And yes a tank platform is like an aircraft platform like an132 and a big Valuable asset

Can you answer my questions in made in KSA

There are only three candidates.. no one of them is pro Russia..
 
That's a sleek looking tank. Will have an edge in desert warfare.

True..Sleek and powerful.. it is the Armata's brother..same exact design just need modernisation from the Ukrainian side..and for KSA needs, some more modifications to suite the desert environment.. combining both countries capabilities they should be able to come up with a real good and potent tank.. just like what they've done with the AN-132..

Could make a valuable export item. Many middle eastern countries need new tanks such as Jordan which is phasing out their challengers. If this does go through I expect a good number of exports.

Also, is it just me or does the turret resemble the Falcon Turret?

Correct, the JV will make sure that it will be at least regionally exported..
They certainly look alike.. just the canon and a few elements are different..

God gift? So far Saudi Arabia got nothing from Ukraine except fantasy stories and paper projects. You still dont understand what is Ukraine. Its just a huge fake generating fraud entity. Their defence industry is unexisting. The only military product that was developed in Ukraine and in serial production is a failing BTR-4(upgraded BTR-80).

The AN-132 is another Ukrainian fraud scheme like many others. Its the old Soviet An-32 plane with installed Western components. After 5 years of announcing this new development the new AN-132 airframe that is supposed to meet modern requirements doesnt even in production. There are more than 50% propbability there will never be any AN-132s in Saudi's inventory like there are no An-158 in Kazakhstan, An-178 in Azerbaijan and India, An-188 in Turkey. These are just some of many examples of their fraud projects.

I agree they don't have a good defense base right now. As I stated in previous topics the new leader of Ukroboronprom is focused on making the company better and focusing on stopping "Russian aggression" by using new technology and inherited technology from the Soviets.

The AN-132 will finish being developed as the Saudis have the monetary capabilities that Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, and India don't have. Even if the project is really expensive it will happen as the Saudis will not settle with the project not being completed.


@The SC Your opinion about his statement?

Saudi Arabia is dealing with both Ukraine and Russia in a very pragmatic way.. it will buy technology from both .. already done for many systems.... as for the AN-132 it can already be considered a success.. Saudi Arabia alone needs at least a 100 planes.. it has also confirmed orders from other countries.. the plant is under construction on phases installed..to be ready by 2020, but not only that, all the advanced equipment for making the composite body were bought, delivered and installed..So as a project defined in time.. it is going according to schedule..
