The T-14 Armata naked

Strip off! Strip off! Enthusiastic men should shout at a striptease. Similarly, it is for tank enthusiasts when they want to see their tanks without additional armor. Especially exciting is the case with devices that have only been seen dressed so far. Uralvagonzavod in the Russian city of Nizhny Tagil is the world's largest tank manufacturer. No wonder the Commander-in-Chief of the Ground Forces, Oleg Salyukov, is coming to visit. It's exciting to see what the video of the factory tour shows. The new Armata naked is just the highlight.

By the end of the year, allegedly the first T-14 Armata tanks will be delivered to the troops. And here is the production model in side view. It looks almost slim without additional armor. Particularly exciting here is the unmanned turret of the tank, where you can clearly see the components of the Afghanit Active Protection System. For comparison, in this video you can see the Armata with full reactive armor: TANKS: THE NEW RUSSIANS IN TEST

In the Arzamas engineering plant, armored vehicles such as the "Tiger" and other armored wheeled vehicles are manufactured. Among them, the latest wheeled armored vehicles based on the K-17 Bumerang platform, whose field tests are supposed to begin in the spring. A size comparison with the BTR-82 next to it makes it clear: even in Russia, wheeled armored vehicles are getting larger, not just in the West.
