Can you tell more how did they do the armata transmission?

Not much is known publically, but Russian sources have claimed it to be a new electromechanical system. The idea is (allegedly) electromechanical gearboxes have lower parasitic power losses than hydromechanical or hydrostatic transmissions, and much more lightweight/compact.

Soviet vehicles did use modern hydromechanical transmissions on their newer generation of vehicles during the 80s. For example, BMP-3, BMD-4, anything with a GM chassis (like Tunguska, Tor-m1, Kub, etc) all had mechanical transmissions and steering-wheel controls. Whereas the tanks (T-72/T-80/T-64) remained fairly conservative designs, as they were designed in the 60s.

Instead of developing a single 3rd generation MBT like everyone else, the Soviets had this mess of dealing with three main Tank plants that were set (by the politburo) to compete with each other. Believe it or not, they had plans to replace T-72/T-80/T-64 based tanks with a single 3rd generation MBT with much more advanced features. They demonstrated a few very promising prototypes, but they never came to fruition due to a combination of political, economic, and logistical factors. But a lot of the technology and experience used on those programs ended up in the Armata.

Technologically, the Soviets were soaring ahead right until the collapse of the USSR, despite economic turmoils. There were a lot of really cool, ultra-ambitious projects (even by US standards) realized during that period. Most of them were shelved after the collapse of the USSR, due to lack of funding. Then Putin came along later, promising to revive a lot of those Soviet-era projects. He didn't specify which ones. But alot of the modern Russian superweapons, from Armata to Tsirkon, Project Kanyon, Sarmat, and Avantguard ICBMs, have their origins in the USSR.

@TOTUU, please do not talk more about tank and lady operators. Say something about actor Wan Qian. I am now watching "Secret of Three Kingdoms" where she acted as Empress. She looks very womanly and beautiful in this historical drama, especially when she gets angry with the Han Emperor.

Yes, women are beautiful with make-up. But, is she not beautiful even without make-up? I am asking you.

And, please note my analysis based on how Japanese women drive cars. They are quite slow and cannot just pick up enough mental power to follow the driver ahead of her. She always remains quite behind.

In my case, I usually avoid driving behind a woman driver to avoid accidents. When unable to avoid, I remain far behind because it is very difficult to guess if she will suddenly press the brake at the sight of the Yellow (not so yellow) signal when four more cars can pass through the Red easily.

After saying so, I must admit that Japanese women who work as drivers of trucks or other heavy vehicles are quite capable. They can manipulate the road turns and curves better than men. I have heard Japanese man drivers saying the same.

In our case, our women do not even drive cars (most men and women do not). So, without preliminary experience to drive even the 4-wheelers, I do not think our women can be good tank operators.

I will not say anything about how they will behave at the sound of bullets in a war field. They hate the sight of cockroaches and do you think they will love all those sounds of firing?

Women are the same everywhere though some are/were courageous. For example, Queen Elizabeth of England.

This is discrimination against women. Women also have good drivers.

Israel women soldiers operate Merkava tank too but due to absent of auto loader. I believe the loader is still men while the commander and gunner are women.

Maybe the driver are men. Gunner and commander are women. Haha.. mixed crews.
