MOSCOW, July 5.
/TASS/. The serial production of Russia’s latest T-14 ‘Armata’ tank will begin
next year, Russian Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov told TASS on
Monday.
"The [tank’s]
state trials will come to a close next year. It will actively go into serial
production from next year," the minister said.
The Armata is a heavy
tracked standardized platform serving as the basis to develop a main battle
tank, an infantry fighting vehicle, an armored personnel carrier and some other
armored vehicles.
The T-14 tank based
on the Armata platform was shown to the public for the first time at Red
Square’s Victory Day Parade on May 9, 2015. The new combat vehicle features
fully digitized equipment, an unmanned turret, and an isolated armored capsule
for the crew.
