Merge[edit]

Merge Same content, same infobox, i don't know what is the difference. --Kafkasmurat (talk) 14:00, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merge. It looks like there's been a number of changes to both articles over the past week or so, and they are quite distinct from one another. Perhaps you're confused. nagualdesign 18:28, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merge. The Armata combat platform is the body of all its variant vehicles, including the T-14 Armata. SkoraPobeda (talk) 19:19, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merge. Armata IS NOT tank. This is plaform for several armed vehicles. Armata = engine + transmision + armored capsule for crew. No weapons included in Armata plaform. Weapons delivered separetly as "combat modules". For example tank tower for T-14 or Epoha for armored personnel carrier. 213.21.40.144 (talk) 23:07, 9 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Merge As previously stated, Armata is not the tank itself. Kitsunedawn (talk) 05:31, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose Merge As previously stated... Armata is hull, engine and transmission; serves for different vehicles. T-14 is MBT based on Armata. I'll close this case. --Markscheider (talk) 21:15, 11 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose merge - Merging the information on the combat platform into the page about the tank makes little sense, given that there are artillery platforms and APCs which use the same design as well. --benlisquareT•C•E 08:34, 12 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Main Battle Tank?[edit]

While officially, the T-14 is classified by most outside nations as a "Main Battle Tank" or MBT, most reporting agencies are classifying it as a "medium tank" due to the Amarta system being able to be used for a "heavy" tank. As CNN says: "Copies of the new Armata T-14 medium tank have been rumbling through Moscow this week..." [1] and Russia Beyond the Headlines who said quote "On the Ministry of Defense's website, the T-14 Armata tank is classified as a medium tank, which raised questions among defense industry experts interviewed by the website Lenta.ru." and "The T-14 tank and the T-15 heavy infantry combat vehicle are known to have been developed under the designation "universal heavy-tracked platform Armata."[2] Given this information, shouldn't we change the page to instead read "The T-14 Armata (industrial designation "Object 148") is a Russian advanced next generation medium tank based on the Armata Universal Combat Platform. It was first seen in public (initially with its turret and cannon shrouded) during rehearsals for the 2015 Moscow Victory Day Parade.[2]"Kitsunedawn (talk) 05:32, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever media are typing, classifiyng tanks in light, medium and heavy ist obsolete since late sixties.--Markscheider (talk) 10:03, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

CNN or any other media are hardly the most reliable source for military designations. There have been cases of media types calling tracked APC/IFV's tanks, sometimes even when the vehicle is wheeled!! As Markscheider says light/medium/heavy designations for tanks is pretty well obsolete. Proper designation is main battle tank (MBT). Jagaer meister (talk) 13:09, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

CNN definitely isn't reliable when it comes to identifying vehicles. They had pictures of "Russian tanks on the move" in Crimea, but these tanks were in reality 2S1 Gvozdika self-propelled howitzers... SkoraPobeda (talk) 15:32, 10 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I don't currently have relevant regs on hand, but I've been told time and again that the Russian GABTU (MoD Armor Directorate) doesn't actually have any "main battle tank" class on its books. While they use the term unofficially, on the paper all Russian MBTs are officially designated as "medium tanks", because that's the class they all ultimately descended from, and there wasn't any Russian heavy tank since T-10. Some people even speculate that the possible future 6"-armed version of "Armata" might be designated as a heavy tank, officially reviving the class. -Khathi (talk) 16:53, 16 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

That's what I'm thinking. Since the self propelled gun is being called the "heavy" variant, then it makes sense that the Russian military would classify the T-14 as being a medium vehicle, while the IFV is classified as light. Kitsunedawn (talk) 06:19, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

The comparison with MiG-29 is nonsense. A MiG-29 costs even as basic "Fly-away" price much more than 10 million USD. Lastdingo (talk) 16:47, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The source, as I view it, must refer to an already amortized cost for the domestic buyer, not a commercial fly-away one, though your point probably still stands. -Khathi (talk) 20:42, 17 May 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Then that stuff about the turret core size under the lightweight cover, for which there is no sources anyway, just speculations.

Active protection system[edit]

No known weapon on earth can track and intercept an anti-armor hypersonic kinetic penetrator. I see that the claim is sourced, but it seems biased; likely to be exaggerating the vehicle's capabilities. 96.244.249.184 (talk) 22:54, 24 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the word "hypersonic", which generally means greater than Mach 5, as the maximum speed of an interceptable projectile is currently 1,700 m/s. That is more than adequate to stop sabot rounds (~1,550 m/s) though, and if the system is upgraded as planned the term "hypersonic" will be valid. Hope that satisfies. nagualdesign 03:23, 25 June 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Production?[edit]

Are these vehicles actually in production, or just prototypes? Some sources suggest they will be procured from 2015, suggesting productions vehicles have already been handed over to the army, but it seems more likely that these are all prototypes, and that production vehicles are still some time off.Royalcourtier (talk) 07:16, 23 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

News today, 7th November 2016, that the British military is very concerned about the superiority of this tank would indicate that it's not just about one or two prototypes. Egypt will not buy because they are obliged to buy US, as the US provide the funds. British military had not given much focus to tank development as they were not useful to fight jihadis, so said. What's baffling is that the Chinese consider their new tanks/tank development superior to the Russian tank. If the Russian tank is superior to NATO tanks and the Chinese are superior to the Russian one that's interesting. But discussion in media today confirms that fighting on two fronts, jihadis and Russia, will not be sustainable. 2001:8003:A0B9:C400:9C53:EEA:67ED:488E (talk) 05:59, 7 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Lack of components - Nightvision cameras[edit]

Should the recent addition of the bit about the lack of components for the T-14 Armata remain unchallenged, given that the original source for this information is heavily biased? (pro-Ukrainian hackers) — Preceding unsigned comment added by 37.196.228.132 (talk) 13:10, 12 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I described history with IR cameras in T-14 in new version of Armata T-14 article (see unstable version). Brif info.

  • IR cameras are more critical component as many expert thinks because this cameras create "virtual 360 IR radar". This optic radar involved in APS and assist to protect main radar against radio noise by additional info of targets
  • Main IR cameras are Russian made (http://prokazan.ru/news/view/101756)
  • Small cameras with cheap and simple microbolometer matrix may be from Thales. However may Russian manufacturers are producing all components for microbolometer IR cameras (example http://www.astrohn.ru/price/price_2A_2015_2016.pdf)
  • Thales sold its technology for Russia before sanctions

--EPC2016 (talk) 00:46, 15 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]


If this is true then the claim that Russia does not have the necessary components for the T-14 must be challenged and ultimately removed, as according to the links you provided, Russia has been and continues producing IR cameras without external assistance. If someone knowledgeable with Wikipedia's system would be so kind as to challenge that statement, I'd be grateful.

Abrams Comparison[edit]

Is extremely relevant. How is it not? SaintAviator lets talk 01:00, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

See my post below. What makes them relevant? The article cited does not say they are relevant to each other. --Katangais (talk) 01:12, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Have a look around Wikipedia, what I have put in is commonplace. SaintAviator lets talk 01:25, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Information about the Abrams[edit]

Howzit all,

Under the section "NATO response" in this article there has consistently been a sentence which states that the US is planning on upgrading and maintaining its existing fleet of "1979 designed" M1 Abrams. I do not understand why this sentence belongs in the article. Nor do I understand its significance, since that is a policy decision made by the US military that has nothing to do with the T-14 Armata. Now the Germans have indicated that they plan to up-gun their existing tank guns as a direct response to the T-14 Armata so that by comparison is relevant information which deserves inclusion.

I will helpfully point out that article used as the source for the particular Abrams tidbit also states that the American involved with the Abrams programme being interviewed declined to comment whether an entirely new tank was warranted by the appearance of the Armata. The interviewee "deferred comment". That's the only place in the article that mentions the Armata.

There also seems to be a rather skewed perception by User:SaintAviator that I am responsible for the addition of POV content and am constantly removing information simply because I don't like it. Nothing could be further from the truth. I'm neither a Westerner nor a Russian (Malaysian here) and very rarely edit on articles concerning either Russian or U.S. defence equipment so I fail to see how my opinion could be any less objective.

Look, all I'm asking is that we reconsider the addition of that seemingly unrelated sentence from a Wikipedia point of view. The fact that the US is proceeding with some routine maintenance and upgrades to its own tanks has nothing to do with a Russian tank that came out on the other side of the world, and at no point does the source cited state there is a direct correlation. --Katangais (talk) 01:11, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The Armata is the newest Tank for Russia. It is designed to combat enemy tanks in Russias main potential enemy Nato. It is the first 3rd Gen tank in production. It is innovative. So much so it has caused a stir and response in Nato nations. All this is RS available and not disputed. The US is Natos biggest nation. Its very very relevant to put in the US's main battle tank and design date. As these two tanks (Armata / Abrams) are the main tanks of each nation, and could face off, a mention is encyclopedic SaintAviator lets talk 01:23, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

So if I am understanding this correctly the T-14 was designed specifically to fight American tanks, including the Abrams? In which case then I understand why it is relevant despite their being from two different countries. --Katangais (talk) 01:32, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
With respect you may want to research military techknowledgy development similiar to tanks, Fighter jets for instance. F35 vs Sukhois (Russian) [3] SaintAviator lets talk 03:10, 4 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Much of the NATO response section seems a little propaganda-ish. Saying it's the "newest and most advanced" sounds like a marketing attempt. It is, in fact, not a third generation MBT, and certainly not the first 3rd gen to be produced. The Abrams SEP v3 upgrade cited has nothing to do with a response to the T-14. If this section remains, it should have some clean up done. America789 (talk) 20:35, 6 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This tank is notable for breaking down during Victory parade[edit]

[4] Here is] just one of many references. This tank model is notable for not working during the Victory parade, i.e. the only time it was shown to general public! Why exactly that had happened was a matter of debate. For example, according to Victor Suvorov, that had happened because of an incompetent soldier-operator, but the fact of breaking down is actually the only reason general public (like me) knows about this tank. This is the most important info to be included in Introduction - per WP:NPOV. My very best wishes (talk) 03:27, 5 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

The T-14 Armata did not break down on parade.

Weight comparison with Japanese type-90[edit]

The comparison with the Japanese type-90 tank in the main article seems to make little sense:

"Its moderate mass of ~48 tons allows it to be easily rail- and trailer-transported, conserving its engine and transmission's service life, and it can navigate most of the solidly built bridges in the country, unlike, for example, the Japanese Type 90 Kyū-maru MBT, whose 50+ ton mass and large size forces it to operate only in areas with specially reinforced bridges and railways with sufficient clearance"

The weight of the T-14 is given as 49/50 tons in the article's info box. The weight of the type-90 is given as 50.2 tons (in the type-90 article). So the difference in weight seems essentially negligible, but the article text seems to imply that it's very significiant.... What's up with this??

Snogglethorpe (talk) 03:04, 8 October 2016 (UTC) 48 not 50,2, 50,2 = breakdown of the bridge, drowning in the ground after the rain, inability to take off, destruction of wagons and railway tracks. it's like a small hole in a condom, only 2.2 mm (50.2-48) ha https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGbDtgqoCyw haha →[reply]

"Weakness" section makes no sense[edit]

It looks like it has been poorly translated, and unfortunately I don't understand it well enough to re-write it into coherent English.

Referenced below:

Weakness[edit] It remains dependent on the actions of cumulative HEAT min (important for urban warfare).

Actual shooting is Confirmed. Rate of fire for two GSh-23 is 16-20 thousand rounds per minute (allow without restrictions to make 1200 [53] a couple of shots of guns in the time interval of 10 seconds, or 100 shots in one second). On range two km rate of the fire with high probability will destroy the gun, instruments (the sights and vision of the review), elements to armours, sought-after part. Most of the components will be destroyed Afghanit, (many elements of reactive armor Malachit is destroyed a large number of hits). The actual firing of proof for such a possibility with a rate of fire weapons only 700 shots, the gun still get 4 breakout.[54]

Review for link of the tests to Afganit hardkill https://regnum.ru/news/polit/2272620.html

Practical tests confirmed the destruction of the uranium subcalibration projectile (goal speed up to 2 km / s).https://iz.ru/news/633700

20 - 30 km/h?[edit]

Infobox says max speed of 30 km/h. That can't be right. 89.241.27.247 (talk) 09:16, 2 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

production number not well cited[edit]

for the sentence 'The Russian Army initially planned to acquire 2,300 T-14s between 2015 and 2020.', two of the three sources do not mention this figure, and the last is a seedy global security article. this is a long standing mistranslation of a russian defense industry official hoping for figures to rise that high and is not real 98.97.141.232 (talk) 09:43, 21 October 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Probably the end of R&D and production of the T-14 Armata[edit]

This could probably be the end of R&D and production of the T-14 Armata ... https://www.moscowtimes.eu/2022/11/11/20-trillionov-na-veter-krupneishaya-v-rossiiskoi-istorii-gosprogramma-proizvodstva-oruzhiya-ostanovlena-posle-provalov-v-ukraine-a26303 - Kleiner Stampfi (talk) 14:49, 14 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

moscowtimes is a strongly pro-Western site, so the article is nonsense with too much propaganda without any sources, and the Wiki entry of course too.
This is an entry on arms, not politics. As such, the normal procurement programme was suspended as it was designed for peacetime, not for the needs of an ongoing war.
There is no news regarding the T-14, in fact, there are now videos of T-14s rolling into training ranges, which points to slow and gradual adoption continuing, or at least testing in the final stages. BoringGuy69 (talk) 12:39, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
The Moscow Times is a reliable journalistic source. There is no propaganda in the article in question. It links to sources at Kremlin.ru and Vedemosti.ru, and quotes others.
Second paragraph in the comment above is self-contradictory: this is about arms not politics; the procurement of arms was affected by politics.
That said, the T-14 is mentioned in passing, and the source doesn’t offer much more to this encyclopedia article than “introduction of the T-14 may be affected by the halting of the strategic state armaments program (GPV), while Western intelligence sources say that affected by sanctions, the Russian military-industrial complex is unable to produce and maintain significant equipment for the war in Ukraine.”  —Michael Z. 18:01, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Are we talking about the same sources that said Russia had run out of cruise missiles a year ago, or the ones that claim you can simply take a chip out of a washing machine and put it in a weapon? BoringGuy69 (talk) 18:29, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
If you are trying to criticize, please actually cite something that actually exists. “A year ago”?  —Michael Z. 22:32, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
Another source on the same subject: Newsweek.[12] —Michael Z. 18:17, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
It does not matter what this could probably mean. The cited source is on topic with respect to the program halt. If further, notable developments are reported by WP:RS then that can be added too. Lklundin (talk) 19:21, 20 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Recent videos of Armata T-14 on training grounds in Russia[edit]

BlackFlanker has cited a couple of sources that a T-14 Armata has been seen driving around on training grounds inside Russia. As a general note to editors, we should be careful to not editorialize or synthesize changes involving these reports. On social media (i.e. I see no WP:RS now) it is noted how in that video - and in a similar one from October - the gun stabilizer is not operational, essentially making the whole tank useless in battle. Lklundin (talk) 08:58, 21 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I can't see what a tank being spotted driving around on some training grounds nearby brings to the article, anyone able to enlighten me on that? BP OMowe (talk) 19:06, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
I agree. Lklundin (talk) 19:17, 22 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
