Equipped with a new engine, dual-reactive armor, lower radar cross section, and the Afghanit active defense system, NATO tank forces viewed the Armata as a formidable new threat. Moscow promised to build 2,300 Armata tanks by 2020, enough for about eight tank and motor rifle (mechanized) divisions.
In June 2015, the Russian government unveiled the Armata, which was designed to replace older T-72B3 and T-80 tanks in the arsenals of the Russian Ground Forces. Production problems with the Armata, however, could allow the “Burlak” tank to take its place. Neither of the vehicles was completed before their production was ceased. Only two prototypes were ever produced, neither of which was capable of firing due to time constraints. The tank would be cheaper and easier to produce, while still being a formidable adversary to NATO forces.Ī “new” tank concept has surfaced in Russia, about 10 years after the country abandoned it in favor of the sleeker, newer-looking T-14 Armata tank. The Obiekt 490A 'Rebel' (Russian: 490 ), or Object 490A, was a Soviet experimental main battle tank developed between 19.The Burlak builds on past Russian tank technology to produce a tank that has many of the same advantages as the Armata.Russia’s difficulty building new T-14 Armata tanks could provide another tank concept, the Burlak, with the opportunity to take its place. Russias T-14 Armata main battle tank (MBT) is to enter series production in 2022, Industry and Trade Minister Denis Manturov told the TASS news agency on 5 July.
