Why It Matters
The Armata tank (object 148) is a promising Russian heavy tracked combat vehicle platform, developed by Uralvagonzavod since 2010, and is positioned as the basis of a future family of combat vehicles on a single base.
General Director of Uralvagonzavod Alexander Potapov, in a conversation with reporters, said that the Armata tank, like other Russian combat vehicles, is being finalized taking into account the experience of a special military operation and is undergoing phased military operation. His words are quoted by RIA Novosti.
According to Potapov, ammunition has already been created for the tank with various types of shells with improved performance. In addition, proactive work is underway to further improve the ammunition load.
“It [Armata] became a foundation for the future, but the main work during the SVO went to our classic vehicles - T-72, T-80, T-90 and even T-62,” noted the head of the enterprise.
He emphasized that the idea of the Russian Ministry of Defense was correct: to create not just one machine, but a whole family on a single base. The expert clarified that many foreign schools are now following the path of the “Armata” - this is both an uninhabited tower and a crew in a protected capsule.
