The Russian T-14 Armata tanks, which emerged in the military conflict zone in Ukraine, need to be tested in combat conditions in order to eliminate possible problems. About this TV channel “360” said doctor of military sciences, captain of the first rank Konstantin Sivkov.
“There is no need to use the Armata in a special military operations zone. “The use of these tanks there is due to the necessity of testing the vehicles in combat conditions to detect potential problems,” he said.
According to the expert, although Rostec announced that it will begin mass production of these combat vehicles in 2021, it tried not to use them in order to avoid unnecessary losses. Sivkov also noted that the tanks were produced in small numbers and needed fine tuning.
The doctor of military sciences also noted that the Armata has already been shown at parades. According to him, this tank has a high degree of protection against anti-tank weapons, an isolated armored capsule for three members and a deserted turret.
“The tank is equipped with a powerful 125 mm gun with a longer barrel, which provides a high penetration threshold. Sivkov, “Armata” tanks are significantly superior to any NATO equipment in all respects.”
