The modern machine, created by Russian developers and the military, has radically new systems. In addition, the main difference of the Object 148 tank is that each individual warhead in the cabin is divided into compartments. Of course, the car so simply did not appear. There was a predecessor, which was called "Object 450". A little later, his working designation was the "T-74." In addition, when modeling the tank, the Object 195 was also taken into account. In fact, the best sides of these models in the new Russian weapons were combined.
Armament
The first modifications had a 125 mm gun. The tower was not used manually by soldiers, it was completely subordinate to digital remote control. Thanks to this, the T-14 ("Object 148" - its second name) has become one of the most convenient in shooting when moving. The machine is capable of firing 10-12 shells sequentially in a minute. In addition, it should be noted that the flight range is 7 thousand meters. The Government of the Russian Federation has repeatedly clarified that this tank is many times more powerful than German-made NATO vehicles.
Passive booking
According to unverified data, the tank tower is protected by a special casing, which protects against fragments. Thanks to him, all the devices in the car remain safe and sound, even if a shell exploded in relative proximity. It is also capable of attenuating the radio signal of even the most powerful structures in order to hide the whereabouts of the Object 148 tank and its crew.
The main feature of passive reservation in this technique is that the commanders and the driver are in a special compartment, which is separated from the rest of the machine.
Dynamic protection
The designers who assembled the tank claim that a new type of dynamic protection will be installed on it. It will be the best solution against NATO weapons, because it can withstand many shells of the organization. Surprisingly, the head of the Bundeswehr himself confirmed this.
In an interview given by employees of GBTU, it was said that the object 148 "Armata" will become resistant to various missile structures. At the same time, this applies to both the complete protection of the hull and the roof of the tank. No one gives more accurate characteristics. But it was said that in defense the machine will definitely bypass such models as the Relic and Contact-5.
Sighting complex
According to the statement of the Russian Federation, an antenna array system will be mounted in the tank, which is used to provide the 5th generation Russian fighter. Such a radar can work, even if part of the equipment panel has already been destroyed. At the moment, in modern warfare, which use the method of "blinding" the shells, the presence of such a system will be decisive.
Automatic combat systems
Like other tanks of the Armada series, the T-14 is equipped with a combat system. This is due to the fact that many designs began to be created not for conducting a single battle, but for contact with a group of military vehicles, performing the function of reconnaissance, etc. The Government of the Russian Federation could not deny itself the pleasure of installing this unit on its vehicle. This will significantly reduce the load on the soldiers in combat readiness.
Mine protection
The mine search system and the special bottom, which is not torn from a projectile explosion, are what the T-14 Armata is rich in. Object 148 (such is the index given by the RF Ministry of Defense) has a special function that allows you to control mines from a distance. It intentionally changes the magnetic field of the machine, slightly deforming its structure, due to which the weapon breaks out of the equipment zone. The cabin has seats that are resistant to explosion, so the crew will remain in perfect order. All parts that are aimed at protecting against mines are made of a special material that absorbs energy.
Projectile defense
“Afganit” is what protects the T-14 tank (“Object 148”) from the bursting of shells. This system is capable of intercepting rocket-propelled grenades, including cumulative, and missiles designed to completely destroy tanks. Moreover, this option is capable of shooting down armor-piercing shells.
The developers shared that as an additional protection the tank was equipped with a special machine gun installation. She is able to hit on the fly, even flying BPS. Rumor has it that the Armada will have a system that will be able to shoot down ammunition moving at a speed of 3 thousand m / s.
Missile defense
In order to protect the “Object 148”, the tank was equipped with destructive elements with active action, as well as masking curtains. These options are essential in protecting against missiles. They act in such a way that they hide the signal and the heat coming from the tank. Due to this, the shells can not determine where the target is, and the equipment remains safe. In addition, if the rocket is in a certain place above the tower, it will be destroyed by an automatic machine-gun system.
Comparison with tanks of other countries
The defense of the United States of America at one of their press conferences announced that the development of Russian technology would lead to new standards in industry. It was about the T-14 tank. "Object 148" will be the next generation machine. Compared to other foreign tanks, this one has a number of advantages, and it is more resistant to enemy attacks. And the manufacturers of China, although they recognize the leadership of the Russian brainchild, still claim that their new MBT-2000 design is better. This is due to the improved suspension.
Export
So far, the export of the tank has not been established, but it will be possible in the near future. Before the order is signed, the Russian Federation first wants to fully satisfy the needs of the state defense. And also after permission to transport equipment abroad, the secrecy will be completely removed from the tank.
Already, countries such as Egypt, India and China have expressed their need for the Object 148 tank. And also interested in the assembly and neighborhood of Southeast Asia.
Suspension and better tank stability
The new tank uses a suspension that was created recently, which is different from many modern cars. It is an active type, therefore, it will allow for better retention of the structure in difficult places. US experts said that this would even help improve the level of firing from moving vehicles. This fact can be explained by the fact that the suspension will reduce the shaking of the car model "Object 148".
