The Armata is a new Russian heavy Infantry Fighting Vehicle (IFV). It is also referred as the T-15. Its development commenced in 2011. This heavy IFV was developed as a part of armored vehicle family. It is based on the same platform as the Armata main battle tank. First mock-up or prototype was completed in 2013. During the same year it was revealed to Russian military officials. This heavy IFV was first publicly revealed in 2015.
The T-15 Armata heavy IFV has an unusual layout with a front-mounted engine. Interestingly the Armata tank has a rear powerpack arrangement. It became an issue for designers in order to make a troop compartment in the rear part of the vehicle. So the heavy IFV has a swapped front end with the rear. It is driving backwards comparing with the original Armata MBT.
This armored vehicle is operated by a crew 3 men, including commander, gunner and driver. Crewmembers are located in the center of the vehicle, behind the front engine compartment. Troop compartment is located at the rear. It is unknown how many passengers this vehicle can carry. It is likely that this heavy IFV accommodates 6 to 7 dismounts. Troops egress and dismount via rear power-operated doors.
It has newly-developed base armor, made of steel, ceramics and other composite materials. Also it has Malakhit add-on explosive reactive armor, that is claimed to be of new generation. A front-mounted engine provides additional protection for the crew and passengers. As usual this armored vehicle is fitted with NBC protection and automatic fire suppression systems. It has been reported that it will be fitted with new Afganit active protection system. It also has a new countermeasures system that reduces the chance of being hit by enemy anti-tank guided missiles with semi-automatic guidance.
This new Russian vehicle outguns most current troop carriers, based on tank chassis. It has unmanned turret, armed with 30 mm cannon, coaxial 7.62 mm machine gun and 4 Kornet-M anti-tank missile launchers. The same turret is also used on the Kurganets-25. The cannon has an effective range of up to 4 km. There are 500 rounds for the main gun, including 160 armor-piercing and 340 high-explosive fragmentation rounds. Currently the Kornet-M is one of the deadliest anti-tank guided weapons. These missiles have a maximum range of 8-10 km and can also target helicopters.
Initially it has been reported that this armored vehicle is powered by an A-82-2 turbocharged diesel engine, developing 1 200 hp. It is a new-generation engine that is much more compact than previous Russian tank engines. However in 2019 information emerged that this heavy IFV is fitted with a more powerful A-85-3 engine, developing 1 500 hp. Interestingly this rating is for a peak power which would be used only during wartime and at a cost of extremely short service life. Normally this engine develops 1 350 hp. Engine is located at the front and provides additional protection for the crew and passengers. Vehicle has 7 roadwheels. This heavy IFV has a built-in self-entrenchment blade and can briefly dig itself a defensive position.
Hope you enjoy!!

@@VerdeMorte ruclips.net/video/yi14rzol_5I/видео.html
Basically, I'd say they learned from BMP series... Those things had decent firepower to support the infantry when needed, but the protection was rather bad... That is why they used them for support rather than troop carriers, but that also meant attracting more enemy fire and combined with not much armor... Yeah... High losses... T-15 seems to address those issues. But I guess we won't know until it is actually used in real action...
and it never will be seen/used if we go with the russian track record

For the last six months, the Russians have been making $1 billion in extra profit from gas sales every day, which is half the US defense budget. Considering the prices of Russian weapons and the salaries of soldiers, it is more like four budgets. Along the way, it grinds out the strongest army in Europe backed by unlimited funds from NATO, plus a legion of foreign mercenaries. One has to ask, does Russia need to rush into anything?
I'm sure Ukraine & allied countries will find them very informative after capture.
loved that you used footage from Armored Warfare to show off the t-15 lol. Keep up the good work!
The IDF pioneered this type of very heavy APC/IFV with Achzarit, Nakpadon and Namer. I'm very surprised it has taken this long for other nations to catch up. Similarly with the front engine MBT layout. There are many pros to having front mounted engines. The major con of poor driver vision is no longer an issue, with the introduction of cheap cameras and display screens. Driver vision can be better than ever before.
Canada built the Kangaroo in WW2 from Sherman's.
I was a merkava 4 driver and the front engine doesnt make it harder to see, the compartment was to the left of the engine so it didnt interfere, although the engine made it hot as hell in there
Why would you be surprised. Almost no one needs a “heavy” IFV when they’re almost completely useless in a modern peer to peer battle. The only use they have is against lightly to heavily armed personnel (unarmed Palestinian children) since any modern cannon can easily pen the “heavy” IFV armour
I think any armored vehicle (crewed not unmanned) still needs a backup drivers visionport to see throu incase the advanced vision cameras get hit or mulfunction.
Sorry for my english :)
@@siimpuu7548 Your english is very good Siim, thank you for the reply.
Russia has proven that while the philosophy of Quality over Quantity does hold merit, they have also proven that they are unwilling or unable to field the cost of such advanced units. Not even counting the sanctions, the T-14 has sat in Limbo for over half a decade and has now gotten to the point that, Russia wants to sell it for export without any battlefield testing. I think the T-15 looks amazing and if all of these advancements are accurate (because we all know the, Russians would never overstate the capabilities of their equipment) then it is a pretty amazing piece of equipment. I just can't see, Russia fielding these in any numbers that will matter. I could see the West utilizing something like this but again in small numbers. The forward blade reminds me of the G6 Rhino which has always looked and performed wonderfully. I wasn't paying attention but what were the measurements? Looks pretty damned big for deep penetration into urban areas.
The T-15 design seems nice on paper. Honestly, it seems pretty similar to something I would sketch if you told me I could design anything similar for my vast imaginary armor. The only problem is that Russia and I have pretty much equal capacity to field them in significant numbers in the real world. Unlike Russia, I can admit that my empire is completely imaginary.

Why would they have fielded it?

2:15 this animation is from free to play game armored warfare, game about tanks, t15 tank is highest their vehicle in game - 10, I highly recommend anyone who likes tanks to try out armored warfare, you will like it ;)
Matt it needs to be said that T14 didn’t break down in the parade the driver left the break on and that’s why they couldn’t tow it or put on a public towing display. Russia’s T14 has had an exceptional performance review and is combat ready in number now. Based on concealed mass manufacturing
All in all the armata platform is a very interesting prototype, all the derived vehicles are very well designed concepts. Would they ever see mass production? I doubt it very much.
b-but t14 armata has 80 productions 😳
Agreed. Very advanced concept but Russia doesn’t seem to have the capability to mass produce it.
It's not even that they don't have the money or ability. The Russian arms industry is woefully corrupt and has seen oligarchs get rich for very little in the way of results.
Russia going through a war and transferring to a war economy might fix many problems. Maybe we will see a few hundred units between all armata platforms in 2023/24.
@@AHalz nope they can
@@AHalz I think their priorities are to build another Vila for Shoigu 😁
But seriously they can produce them but now priorities are different. They're delivering T-90Ms for the army right now.
Bruh, the merkava isn't meant to carry infantry your confusing it with the namer (and the new namer AFV version).
The merkava can swap its ammo rack for soldiers in case of urgent med evac, but not meant to be used as such only in last resort situation.
As for the new namer fighting vehicle version, it's armed with 30mm and spike missiles, both heavier armor and more armed than the t15 amata
Yeah...I thought the same thing.
Uh no I strongly disagree
First of all the namer definitely absolutely is nowhere near the T-15 in terms of protection, not even close..
Second of all I would argue that the T-15's kornet is just better than the spike missile on the namer
@@someboi4535 lmao no.
The namer weights 12 tonns more than the t15 making it much more armored, and equipped with trophy APS which is extensively battle proven active protection system, unlike the Russian one.
And the spike NLOS is far supirior to the kornet in every aspect.
The t15 amata is far inferior to the namer in every aspect except mobility
*You're
@@bruhh249
But unmatched as a parade float 😭 lol
The concept, considering Russia's military priorities, is great. The issues will arise on the back end though. Can they produce enough of them to matter? Can they support it once it's been deployed? These things are very important and based on the current performance of their military it's looking like the answers to those questions will be a hard "No."
I agree. The logistics of maintaining this vehicle will be easier, in terms of parts, given it is a shared platform. However, at nearly 50 tons, it is going to be a very thirsty beast and yet more tractor fodder, should the Russians not get their act together.
Good point, in one word CHIPS!
Are you a specialist on any matter regarding Russian defense industry? Answer a hard "NO". So don't give any answers before you know anything about it at all...
@@stingerrgb2754 Please try to remain civil. By your definition, nobody would be able to say anything about any country's defence industry, because at its heart ALL the important information is always going to be classified.
One does not need to be an expert on the Russian defence industry, to be able to make some useful observations. Defence manufacturing has commonalities around the world, so if you are familiar with the processes, and technologies, you can make useful observations.
For example, we know from captured equipment, that a significant proportion of the high tech found in Russian equipment is sourced from Western countries and is now sanctioned. This makes sense, as Russia lacks any capacity to manufacture even low end computer chips.
We also know that, following the initial 2014 sanctions, Russia has found workarounds that allow it to produce at least some high tech equipment in limited quantities. But that they appear to be making the same mistake as WW2 Germany, in that they are wasting these in one shot "precision" wunderwaffe, rather than more boring equipment, that might actually change the dynamic on the battlefield.
Given just how much equipment Russia has lost since February, combined with the fact that they were gambling on a short war, it is unlikely that they'll be able to make good their losses of high tech components without significant buy in from nations, like China, that have already demonstrated a huge reluctance to get involved and who would arguably benefit from a militarily weakened Russia.
Don't forget that the Russian port of Vladivostok used to be Chinese and they'd love the opportunity to take it back and obtain a Pacific port that bypasses the First Island Chain.
With respect to the entire Amarta program, we know that they are years behind schedule. By now, they were supposed to have over 2,000 T-14s and very few of the older Soviet era designs remaining in active service. We can objectively observe that this is not the case.
Also, they are unlikely to ever field these weapon systems, in their current configuration.
Unless the Russians are too stupid to learn from the current conflict, they'll be looking to significantly increase the top armour protection of all these vehicles. Against modern ATGMs the traditionally poor top armour of all previous generations of armoured vehicles has turned out to be a significant point of failure.
By way of example, after their experiences in the Gaza Strip, Israel redesigned the Merkava to be far more resilient to top down attacks, even going so far as to remove the loader's hatch, as this created a point of weakness.
The Russians could just slap on more armour and be done with it. But then they'll face the same issue that the WW2 Germans had with many of their rushed vehicles, in that they'll discover all sorts of problems, because you can't just throw a few tons of armour onto a vehicle, without it straining the suspension, engine, drivetrain and making it top heavy and more prone to rolling (See PzKpfw V - AKA Panther). Modern weapon systems are complicated beasts and you can't change one aspect, without it impacting the entire package.
The question about logistics and support for the vehicle, once fielded is significant. The Amarta series is a huge departure from all previous generations of tank. It will need expert maintenance personnel who are highly trained on all of its unique features and bleeding edge technology. This doesn't happen overnight.
For example, if the external cameras stop working, you'll need someone who knows exactly how they are wired, and likely points of failure, in order to get the vehicle back on track. No cameras, no ability to reverse safely, which would be a real bitch for your accompanying infantry.
We also know, from announcements made by the Russian MOD that they are focusing on upgrading vehicles currently in storage. Given that they have only limited resources, this will inevitably put the Amarta program further behind making the entry of any of these vehicles into the current conflict increasingly unlikely.
Yes, they remind me of the Israeli Nammer, which is a 60 ton APC based on the Mekava IV. The Namer is a specialized APC for urban environments and areas where they expect to face missiles. The main Israeli AFV will be the 30 ton wheeled Eitan.
You probably have more T-15 in that sim than they do in real life.
Delete the probably and ur correct
Are you guys okay? you both behave like women.
Seems like another javelin bait to me.
Edit: its a joke yall
My very thought.
Okay okay! Keyboard warrior.
Another internet military genius 😂😂
It was a really bad joke then.
Expect people to be calm when making a joke like that at a time like now? ^^
Comparing it to the Boxer AFV variant with a 120mm gun, weighs 45 tons and can carry 4-6 troops...IF I was an armoured brigade commander (which I'm very definitely not) I'd want a vehicle that enabled my infantry to keep up with the tanks, with decent protection and not get in the way...T-15 seems to do this neatly.
I’d say the Puma ifv might be a closer comparison than the Merkava
Namer IFV is the closest comparison.
Quite a sexy thing, would like to know if it can catch up with the 'relativ' low price of T-14. I guess its a great thing to have swaped so much of your armor to ERA, so they're not just lighter, it also can make repairs in teh field much easier and sustain longer operation times. Meanwhile the mass production of standardised ERA for several types of vehilces would reduce overall costs. And again in fitting more vehilces with such armor, ther more 'basic' body can be upgraded longer into the future and enahnce service life a lot. 10 out of 10 if there is no problem with money, i guess.
I mean if it was the US making these things… then sure.
But when it’s Russia… who has an equivalent total GDP equal to California… no.
@@LawAndTheory Yes economy is always an secondary battlefield - the main, for many products.
There is an global economy war ongoing on weapons, so maybe many nations will go for more basic stuff so the're not that much entagled in this war.
But you can absoluty say that T-15 is too much in one package. Great for the soldiers inside, but tricky to field in numbers able to protect such a vast nation. It was a showing of ability and advertisement, so we have to sit back and wait fro the market to cool down. So far all these 'flex' products are super expensive, and we'll see who end up on which side of teh trade wars (whcih is way more relevant as what nations need what kind of equipemnt). But i'm happy for every person in service being protected by something like this.
@@LawAndTheory It must be mighty, as i'm german and had way more complex discussions with people from all around the world xD
But for sure the problem isen't on your side. That would be naive to think =P
@@LawAndTheory Happy to hear we can agree on this^^
@@LawAndTheory Usually the sane and responsible buyers wouldn't jump into big buys before the product is tested and proven. No one would pay for an army of prototypes.
Damn, that thing is gorgeous.
Actually this IFV would be the equivalent of the Israeli NAMER IFV, that is based on the MERKAVA tank and not the tank itself. The MERKAVA can carry four troops in the back if the ammunition stored there is not carried and this is probably a feature to allow the evacuation of an other tank's crew in an emergency, rather than carry fighting troops although it is possible.
Panther KF51 👑🇩🇪
It's such a good looking IFV.
given recent events I have to wonder
1- how many do they actually have ?
2- how well can it be operated by conscripts ?
3- how well dos it respond to substandard components being swapped into it due to corruption ?
Well, how many are in Ukraine?
There's your answer.
@@Marinealver I think 0 actually got there so far
Hmm... is Russia going to afford this vehicle? I mean, just as they bring back T-62 into service.....?
Well because of the war the military has become a way bigger priority for the Russian state. Now they have to modernize their army even if it takes away funds from other sectors. It is not just a prestige project anymore to produce these new vehicles. And do people actually still believe that these T-62s seen in Ukraine were meant for the Russian army? It has been proven a couple of times now that they have been provided for the DPR and LPR forces and not for the Russians.
they wont be able to produce anything for years after this war, they couldn't even produce them before the war when their economy was at least in working state now no fucking way lmao
@The Beginning is Near The Banderites barely used tanks.
They went to guerilla war from the start and squandered their conventional forces.
@The Beginning is Near
No. There was plenty of footage of tanks in good shape that never left their base.
The T15 is so protected it’s still hiding in Russia.
from what ive read up the production is worse than the T-14.. and theres even only 40 T-14s in service
Yes 3 or 4 were used in Syria and prove to perform poorly, all were knocked out and quickly covered up to not show the weakness.
@@Dragonfire-tn2jg That was false news. The T-14 was never tested in Syria . Theres literally no evidence of any even being deployed there. That was a false story for anti russian propaganda. Plus if the Syrian militia destroyed it they would of taken videos and pictures like they always do whenever they attack a tank
@@Dragonfire-tn2jg nice made up story
I dont understand the thinking of the people like you. If you make a new vehincle, the first thing you wanna do is to send it to the war and make it get captured and destroyed? If i use your logic, where is the abramsX , the kf51 panther, the m1a2 sep V3 abram , the pl-01, the leclerc evolution, the lynx 120....? Where are they? Somewhere in a safe place where they cant be captured and and used up against the country!! And this its the same with the t-14 and t-15 armata!
I always liked that Russia takes profile under serious consideration. Unlike the U.S that seems love barn doors
What they dont take into consideration is that at some point soldiers are going to dismount.
Just look at the BRDM. Would you like to crawl over the engine before dismounting ?
They often only think about the profile. The crew doesn't have the space to be confortable (which is very important when you can be days inside the vehicle...)
Saint Javelin awaits!
Why invest in this for your basic infantry if you let them run around with iron sight AKs anyways?
Another attempt at showing the world how advanced you are when your armored vehicles in UA don't even have GPS.
Nobody knows how far it can pop the turret. This might be a winner in the future turret tossing competition
Matt, given the quality issues seen with Russian tanks, BMPs and other equipment, I cannot see the same issues not affecting the M15 and other members of the Armata vehicle family. Only battle will see if the Russians learned their lessons, I remain pessimistic.
This is a Russian built vehicle not soviet it is a quality peice of equipment but it really all depends on how well maintained it is as Russians aren't known for looking after their vehicles
I prefer to call it optimistic. Here's hoping Russian 'quality' continues to deliver.
Russian manufacture is not known for quality either. Recall the tank ERA panels that had cardboard or rubber in place of the explosive. Good manufacturing practice or design would not allow for that to happen.
@@hsaurid that’s not manufacturing, that’s outright corruption. There’s a difference, manufacturing would be looking at the actual equipment, not whether it’s present or not.
The T-14 didn't brake down during the parade.
The driver was inexperienced with the tank and left the brake on without knowing.
If you watch the full video the tank drives away fine.

@@MrMruzi177 how am I a tanky for saying what happened?
This tank will never see combat or be produced in mass it's basically a world at war tank Russia future is gone
Can the turret FLY?
Sadly no, best thing it explodes, worst it just kinda burns, it doesn't have the same form of ammunition racks that make the pressure go upwards all spectacularly
i love all russian tanks,ivfs,an scout cars. something about them that is really cool. these new russian vehcles are awsome
Man I just found your channel because of this video definitely subscribing to you also I love Russian vehicles
if someone confuse why some t-15 has big and some has small gun.
Short 57-mm gun is more like grenade launcher, and big one is 57-mm gun. There is also exist giant 57-mm AA gun, but it used on Derivatsiya. Bigger gun - bigger armor penetration and worse ammo capacity.
Either China funds the production of these vehicles, or they end up like the T-14--a handful of prototypes that get taken out to parades and that's it. Design-wise, the T-15 is promising, and definitely representing a development that NATO nations should be pursuing already. It makes sense to have an AFV that provides extensive protection for a significant amount of infantry even in urban environments, sacrificing the armament of a tank and the mobility of a conventional IFV to facilitate that.
Nevertheless, I don't expect Russia to produce these in significant numbers while maintaining the necessary quality of the vehicles AND the infantry using said vehicles for it to make a big impact. Worse still, Russian APSs remain untested at best. And that's before you get Russian corruption compromising the technology and systems that are supposed to be there.
I think this is right. The T-15, like the T-14, is at the moment (and will probably always be) vapourware.
Can u actually name one AFV subsystem affected by "corruption" or is this just another Reddit copy/pasta
The T15 looks so good Russia has realized that it is time to abandon BMP and BTR That's why the T15 Armata is made to replace the BMP. And Boomerang is made to replace BTR
The head of the plant that's supposed to build these was arrested for embezzlement of the funds lol
Has anyone noticed how matsimus viewers have fallen from milions to thousands
It's better to compare this to the Namer. The Merkava can carry troops but at a cost of removing some of the shells for the main gun.
How many washing machines will have to be scrapped to feed the electronics of one of these?
The T-14 Armata did not break down on the parade, what happened then was just an inexperienced driver accidentally pulling the hand break. That is why the recovery vehicle struggled to move the tank
Yeah, sure 😂
Sounds logical. Would be a good reason to equip the Russian ammo dumps with handbrakes instead of ashtrays. 😉
@@Rampart.X "yeah sure" living in denial of basic facts when you have never even seen the video of the tank when it stopped which shows that the hand break was engaged

Hey you! Yes you! The one that's going to comment about how it is a javelin target or that it would be a pretty pile of burnt metal. Remember that a any IFV will have problems against antitank missiles, so do not get biased and think critically, do not write off pieces of equipment because the ones that operate them are useless

@@V-V1875-h even aps can fail in a forest for example, if you shoot a HAT from 30 meters or somewhere close covered by trees or bushes, the aps could fail to pick up the incoming rocket
@@bycoxtax8562 yes, that's why I mean not getting hit, cause ATGMS dont care about armor on IFVs
Russian units equipped with T-14’s?!? I think there might be 1 tactical parade unit ready to go now(hopefully with counter “E-brake” training) don’t want to appear broke down in red square whilst the west is watching. Well apparently(I just found this out from RT) at the beginning of the “special combat operation” in Ukraine a column of T-14’s and T-15’s leaving from Belarus penetrated all the way into the center of Kyiv shaking off 100’s of attempted javelin and NLAW strikes and captured “so called” president Zelinsky but Putin declared this victorious victory too easy and released him withdrawing his T-14 and T-15 armor columns back into Russia in order to just win this war…… sorry “special combat operation” with old Soviet era hardware in order to instill fear in the west and make the playing field a little more even, that’s just what I heard but since it’s coming from RT it’s obviously 100% accurate.
People keep saying the Merkava can transport troops.
Have you actually looked at the compartment ? It's not for transporting troops, it's to bring back corpses !
So yes, a few people can fit in there but if you think travelling in an IFV can be uncomfortable think again.

Lol, I used this thing in Armored Warfare before I quit playing like a year ago. Seeing it here almost makes me want to play again.
honestly, just strap Drozhd on it that covers the front and sides and a roller or something to trigger mines would make the older Russian ifvs fairly viable. heat warheads and mines are the 2 biggest threats, counter those and your good to go.
That is a cool looking vehicle and Seems capable.
It`s a shame we`ll never see it blown into smithereens in Ukraine as it never will be produced.
Great presentation thank you Sir
Both parts of this statement are true and false at the same time:
"T-15 Armata doesn't exist. It can't hurt you."
Great sponsor. It's a Russian tracked troop carrying version of the HMS Rodney.
The turret is not autonomous. It is unmanned, or crewless, in the sense there are no humand heads inside it.
Thats basically a concept vehicle.
Not hating on Russia or anything, but a lot of their vehicles seem more capable on paper than on practical combat, like the Pantsir S1, BMP 3 and 2, T-72B3, T-80, and even the T-90 and T-90M series of tanks.
Corrupt, Soviet style military industrial sector.
What's your basis for comparison? European hardware that's never seen combat? US hardware that has never been put up against a capable military?
To be fair .. they are facing an enemy (UA) that is far more organized and equipped than lets say Iraq, Argentina, Chechnya , Afghanistan for example.
@@SteelheadCrusher are you joking?
@@Rampart.X you want to compare the differences between a Javelin, NLAW with an RPG7
Could you please do a video on the French Jaguar IFV. Sadly it never gets any love 🙁
But will any ever exist? Probably not in great numbers.
Let me know when we have an APC that can operate on Mars.
What the West would call a technology demonstrator
I vote best intro on RUclips
But the most important question is: will it use dishwasher microchips?
Good video mat.
Looks great but there’s something special about the Cold War Era
Both western and Soviet equipment looked damn good in the mid to later 20th century
It’s good parade vehicle, but not much else
Wheres all the Soviet throbbers these days ?? I miss reading that the mig 21 would beat a f22 or the t72 would destroy a m1 abrams
Tf you talking about
hes just schizophrenic@@purhepechatumbi3915
Where's Abrams??
The only issue is, that Russia would need at least 800+ pieces of this machine. Which takes a lot of time.
It’s as if a Bradley and BMP had a IFV baby! ☺️👍
There's nothing in the world quite like russian sci-fi weapons. God! they are so neat on paper and YT videos (hell! - even better on "Tik-tok"! - the global mediatic platform for the mentally insane!).
Could you do a video on the ASCOD Tanks, like the American Griffin MPF and the Philippine Sabrah
Coffin for eight brothers.
I think the T-15 would be more comparable to the Namer than anything else, it's definitely alot closer to that in weight than others.
What a beautiful Indian vehicle....
Ooh! Both of them.
Despite US sanction Russia could make high tech
Maybe if Russia and China collaborated they might be able to develop a dependable washing machine and dryer at best!
Looks they have taken a BTR and added on some extra stuff.
We know better now than to believe Russian hype for its "advanced" systems. Even if it IS as good as advertised, you can bet your ass that the mass-produced vehicles will not be nearly as capable as advertised due to corruption, quality control, sanctions, and poor crew training/poor maintenance.
Facts bro it's a good vehicle but in Russian hands it's difficult to say
i cant wait for the T-16 i wonder what it will be
The pavement princess
look into the Namer
I wonder if they have even 10 of them
If they did they would have deployed them by now it took them ages to deploy the t90 thinking it would turn the battle but fount it was no better
Anyone following the war in Ukraine knows that the reality is that a majority of Russian equipment is outdated and not kept in very good condition on top of that. Ukrainian soldiers have said that most Russian armour they have found doesn't even have an anti-spall liner inside. So 1960's tanks and APC at 1960's standards. These T-14, T-15 and a couple jets and other weapons are just smoke and mirrors pretty much. Very few of them actually exist, and none are actually in service.
Russia's own corruption has castrated their military over the last 20+ years, and we are seeing the results in Ukraine.
I wouldnt trust Ukr soldiers. They used T-80 that they cannibalized for spare parts as a proof Russian tanks dont have proper ERA. ruclips.net/video/mauaaIeoxwg/видео.html
Well most of the really old stuff that gets used in Ukraine is being used by DPR and LPR troops and not by the Russian army. And Ukraine isn't really in the position to say that the Russians use garbage when they use some real mad max shit.
Keep this content coming!
That thing cost is about 7 million dollars , so yes ... its more expensive than a T-90M
I wonder if it will be of any actual use in combat unlike the "Terminator 2" which arrived with real fanfare to Ukraine and turned out to be completely useless because of bad visibility, worse mobility than MBT and useless arnaments in case you fight middle and long ranges, and as far as I know Ukrainians managed to destroy one completely and badly mangle two more.
Janes defense analysts say 6 were sent in total so 50% losses there. Oh and yes Slava Ukrajini!
Now for the fun part tech and money
So how many yachts will this program yield?
Well - every time the Russians come up with something new. People like Maximus jumps on the band wagon stating these are awesome vehicles or planes. But, when push comes to shove… Russian equipment spectacularly fails. So we will wait and see
Not related to the T15 but can someone please answer , what is the purpose of the rubber skirts on the front lower hull of Russian tanks ? Camo , mine detonation? Thanks
rpg stand off armor.
@@Sir_Godz thank you !
What game is that with the T15?
Looks like Arma 3
