T-14 Armata

Russia's next-generation main battle tank built on the modular Armata universal combat platform, featuring an unmanned turret and an armored crew capsule isolated from the ammunition. Production has remained limited, with the tank seeing only small-scale fielding well over a decade after its unveiling.

Performance

Speed, range, altitude and engagement capability.

Max speed Maximum level speed. For aircraft this is at optimal altitude; for ground vehicles, top road speed. Higher means faster response and better kinematic performance.: 80 km/h

82th pct in class
Range Maximum distance: ferry range for aircraft, operational range for vehicles, maximum engagement distance for missiles. Higher means more standoff or persistence.: 500 km

55th pct in class
Power-to-weight Engine power per tonne of vehicle weight. Higher means better acceleration and cross-country mobility.: 25 hp/t

55th pct in class
Muzzle velocity Projectile speed leaving the barrel. Higher means flatter trajectory and better armor penetration.: 1,800 m/s

86th pct in class

Firepower

Armament, payload and guidance.

Main armament Primary weapon: main gun, cannon or missile type.: 125 mm 2A82-1M smoothbore (autoloaded, unmanned turret)
Secondary armament Additional weapons: coaxial MG, remote weapon station, gun pods.: 12.7 mm remote weapon station
Caliber Bore diameter of the main gun or rifle. Larger throws heavier projectiles; not simply better — ammunition commonality matters.: 125 mm
Ammunition Rounds carried (main gun) or standard magazine capacity.: 45

82th pct in class

Protection

Armor, countermeasures and survivability.

Armor Armor technology: composite, modular, ERA-fitted, uranium-ceramic. Exact compositions are classified.: Composite armor with armored crew capsule
Active protection Hard-kill APS (Trophy, Arena, Afganit) intercepts incoming projectiles before impact.: Afghanit
Reactive armor Explosive reactive armor (ERA) blocks that disrupt shaped-charge jets.: Yes
Countermeasures Self-protection: chaff, flares, DIRCM, towed decoys, smoke dischargers, jammers.: Afghanit APS, Malachit ERA, soft-kill jammers
NBC protection Sealed crew compartment with overpressure filtration for nuclear/biological/chemical environments.: Yes

Physical

Dimensions, weight and crew.

Length Overall length including gun/probe where applicable.: 10.8 m
Width Overall width — matters for rail/road transport of vehicles.: 3.5 m
Height Overall height. Lower profile is harder to spot and hit for ground vehicles.: 3.3 m
Combat weight Fully loaded weight. Lighter eases transport and bridging limits; heavier often means more armor.: 55,000 kg
Crew Personnel required to operate. Fewer reduces exposure; autoloaders trade a loader for mechanical complexity.: 3

Propulsion

Engine, power and fuel.

Engine Powerplant model and type.: ChTZ 12N360 diesel
Engine power Engine output power. Higher moves more weight faster.: 1,500 hp

27th pct in class
Propulsion type Turbofan, turboshaft, diesel, gas turbine, solid-fuel rocket, ramjet…: Diesel

Sensors & avionics

Radar, sensor suite and datalinks.

Sensors IRST, EO/IR turrets, laser designators, sniper pods, thermal sights.: panoramic all-round vision system, unmanned turret sighting system
Thermal imaging Thermal sights for night and obscured-visibility operations.: Yes

Program

Cost, production scale and operators.

Units built Total production run. Higher means proven manufacturing, mature logistics and spares availability.: 30

9th pct in class
Operator countries Number of countries operating the system. More operators means broader support ecosystem.: 1
