The T-14 also featured seven road wheels, instead of the six wheels that were commonplace on almost all previous Cold War Soviet and even modern Russian MBTs. The outline of the tank, from its hull to its long and boxy turret – which resembles Western tank turret designs – was a notable departure from past Soviet designs.
The Armata program was to be from the ground up very much distinct from past Soviet/Russian tank platforms. Instead, the new Armata project was seen as a huge technological leap from Soviet-era military hardware designs. Work on the Armata program began in 2010 when the Russian Ministry of Defence terminated work on its “Object-195” – the T-95 program – which was far less revolutionary and simply too evolutionary. However, the tank has been absent from the battlefield of Ukraine – possibly where it would be needed most. Since first being displayed during the May 2015 Victory Day Parade in Moscow, the tank’s advanced capabilities have been praised. Where Are Russia’s T-14 Armata Tanks? Seemingly Not in Ukraine – The Russian military’s seeming mighty T-14 “Armata” main battle tank (MBT) has long been touted as a potential game-changer for Moscow.
