The materials suggest
that a potential enemy may create new-generation tanks at the turn of the
2030s, which will require an upgrade of T-14 Armata tanks.
The Institute’s
specialists believe that the Armata should get as its weapons suite a new
unmanned turret with a 152mm cannon (it currently has a 125mm gun), supersonic
sub-caliber armor-piercing projectiles, fuel air explosive munitions, missiles
based on the ‘fire and forget and fire again’ principle and an onboard
reconnaissance and signal relay drone.
Military specialists
propose enhancing the Armata’s protection with the system of remotely
neutralizing homing anti-tank projectiles, the technology of automatically
detecting and striking targets in probable areas of tank approaches at a
distance of up to 1 km, the laser equipment of disabling anti-tank guided
missile guidance and the system of remotely deactivating anti-tank mines.
