According to experts, very soon the Russian tankthe next generation of "Armata" will replenish the arsenal of the land forces of the country. Warriors of the late twentieth century already knew about the ongoing development of a unique object, which was named by the author "Priority", and dreamed about it. But political events did not allow this project to be realized. Now a new hero comes to the scene. This is the Russian tank "Armata". This machine has no analogues in the world either in layout or in firepower. It is capable of hitting any of the tanks that are in service in the arsenal of NATO.
According to the developers, "Armata" is a tank,developing in motion speed, not inferior to transport on the wheel, which is justified cause for pride. The mobility of these combat vehicles is high - they are adapted to transportation both by air and by rail. Management of all machines will be made on the basis of a single automated system of the Russian Federation. Thus, Armata is a tank integrated into a single combat system, therefore it should be viewed not only as a powerful independent combat unit, but also as an element of an integral state defense and strategic system. In this regard, today the Russian army is intensively trained personnel, creating modern infrastructure.
For the crew of the tank there is an unprecedentedprotection. Firstly - it's an armored capsule, in which the crew can feel completely safe. Secondly, the guns themselves are raised to a significant height, so you can argue that the "Armata" - a tank with an uninhabited tower. Indeed, its layout, which has no analogues in the world, has an unexpected solution. There is an assumption that at least 30 different complexes will be created on this base, including infantry fighting vehicles, antiaircraft guns and rocket launchers. It should be especially emphasized that "Armata" is a tank, in which, depending on the task set by the command, it is possible to change the location of the engine (transfer it from the front compartment to the rear and vice versa). And the change of the engine, like any spare part, is made in a matter of minutes, as if dismantling the machine.
The capacity of the engine of the Armata tank is inwithin one and a half thousand horsepower. Working on diesel fuel, it will generate a current due to the transmission, which is necessary for the operation of electric motors that rotate the tracks of the tank. It is also much easier to operate a smoothbore gun - the crew monitors the battlefield in isolation using the latest optical instruments.
At the present time, the collective of the Uraltankers completed the test of a new tank, specialists carry out final measures to finalize some of the units and adjust the mechanisms. This means that in six months the serial production of the "Armata" tank will start, which is called to occupy a worthy position among the best world combat vehicles.
