The T-14 Armata (Russian: Т-14 «Армата»; industrial designation “Object 148”) is a new Russian main battle tank based on the Armata Universal Combat Platform.
Featuring a number of innovative characteristics, the T-14 represents a new generation of Russian main battle tanks. The most significant new feature is the use of an unmanned turret, with the crew of three seated in an armored capsule in the front of the hull.
The development of the tank took five years and was initiated after the earlier, incrementally innovative T-95 (object 195) project was cancelled, after protracted development, with authorities citing excessive weight, complexity, and cost.
