[@icyknightmare4592]

A hover tank worthy of the name would still produce a lot of ground vibration from the lift fans/jets, and it would still be made of metal. Anti tank mines with magnetic or seismic trigger mechanisms would probably work against it. The armor would also have to be quite thin since by necessity a hover tank would have to be substantially lighter than a modern MBT.

[@bastiaan7777777]

It is the same problem that Ukraine has to overcome when dealing with so many varieties of western tanks. Tanks are very maintenance heavy, and you need to keep a unique logistics system in place for each type of tank. It would be nearly impossible for Russia to keep a maintenance system in place for T14s on the southern front, just not worth it for so few tanks.

We all know now that any tank can be easily destroyed by artillery and drones so it's not really a priority to get the most high tech tank out onot the field. Its much more efficient for the factory to upgrade their current t72 and t90 tanks to modernized varients with better optics and systems.

[@karakarakiri9568]

Basically they make prototypes for tests (mostly industrial tests and state engineers). Then modified pre-serial models for state tests, these models are used by state specialists such as engineers and test crews (you can find pics comparing the prototype to the serial models on the net). Then serie models that this times are sent to live units to be tested by them, and only after being tested by live units, and not only test units, the last small modification will be made and the real production will start. State tests in live units are deemed to end this summer and production should officially start at the end of this year, after the last modifications are being made, from what i kown. I think most countries work the exact same way: - prototype phase mostly to present the concept and test new tech - pre serie to make more extensive and complete tests, with a vehicule close to the serialized one - first back to be tested by live units before the serial production start I know it was the same for Abrams and Leclerc.

[@baronvonlimbourgh1716]

Pretty sure they simply can not start production without a big foreign sale first. And that was before the war, now they probably couldn't get most technology in big enough numbers to start production even if they wanted to. And who is going to buy these armata's in a decent number? I don't think we will ever see this thing in service anywhere.

[@erickrasniewski567]

@baronvonlimbourgh1716 India maybe the T14 is the best tank to meet their specs at least from what Russia has experienced in Ukriane they want a tank with APS and anti drone capabilities RU has shown their EW is effective if they can mount it on the t14 it would show RU has a leg up on the west is portable EW systems

[@ImBigFloppa]

The problem is that this is Russia we are talking about. They follow the same process of mockups, prototyping, and then production, except for that final production state. They are already flaunting their new "superweapons" pretty much the instant it can move under it's own power. They paraded their T-14s right through Moscow and were celebrating it for being innovative. They were going to build 2000 of them by 2020 and everyone would know the true power of Russia. It's now 2023 and it's still in testing and trials, and also entered production for about the 5th time now. The 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV was going to replace the 2S19 in 2016. They built their initial dozen and now it's in the "testing until the heat death of the universe" phase. Su-57 was supposed to be the foundation of the new and modern Russian air force with 52 production units by 2020 and 150 more by 2025 with hundreds of export units too boot. It's now 2023 and Russia has about a dozen (at least a few of which are prototypes retrofitted to being production level) and are churning them out at 3-4 units a year. This isn't even close to a recent thing too. The T-90 was supposed to be the foundation for a new Russian armored force (despite being a rebranded variant of the T-72). They built a few hundred for themselves and more than a thousand for export. Unless there is foreign demand for a Russian product, or it is bankrolled by a foreign country, every new super weapon Russia builds falls flat on it's face.

[@erickrasniewski567]

@bobbman3000 for what it's worth Budget has been the main issue the t90 was canceled for the t72b3 program it was argued it was cheaper and would offer similar capabilities vs the t90a so RU procurement suggested it be canceled for the t72b3 program as it was too expensive RU is stingy about costs more then anything and the main issue within that is that the procurement ideas with the Russian military is that it if it's still "modern" it's still good

[@karakarakiri9568]

@@baronvonlimbourgh1716 From what i know and we can see they can. They already produced 18 prototypes that were shown at the 2015 parade, plus at least 20 pre-serial ones for state tests, that we have seen quite a while in the past months. In fact if they can't produce some more right now, it's most probably because their factory assembly lines are being taken by current war production orders. And T-14 are not a priority for this war. And because its production should not start before the end of the year anyway, since the state tests plus last modifications are not done by now.

Given Western sanctions, I think the number of Armatas is going to be a dwindling asset from now on.

One aspect missed: Sanctions. For example if I am not mistaken the sights, night-vision cameras etc. of the T-14 were bought from Thales. Thales is however a French company. Due to sanctions Thales no longer supplies Russia and that leaves the T-14 without vital equipment. This is probably the case for more parts especially anything related to computing power. Russia can't really build T-14 completely independently and is reliant on foreign suppliers. I think there was a mishap that proved that no T-14 has been build since the prototypes. There was photo which showed the plant with a T-14 on an assembly ramp and then there was a video documentary that accidentally showed the same spot of the factory with the exact same tank still being there a year later or so...

At this point, I would call Russias nuclear bluff. I would bet if shit hit the fan, that less than 1% of Russian nuclear weapons are operational.

[@nabilkhoury2494]

That 15 horses/ton for the T-90 is incorrect. Also the T-14 is NOT much heavier than the older tanks.

[@ianlewis9317]

The T-14 Armata as Russian propaganda portrays it does not exist. To my memory we have only seen eight T-14's in a parade and one on an obstacle course in a Russian documentary.

[@oompalumpus699]

Reminds me of the ninja parade by The Onion.

[@flybobbie1449]

Bigger tank, does it fit on rail cars?

[@BenVaserlan]

6:54 Apart from S-350, S-500, R-37M, Iskander, Kinzhal, Zircon, Gorshkov class frigates, Koalition self-propelled cannon, and new submarines.

[@sH-ed5yf]

S350 doesnt exist. S400 is basicly an upgrade to s300

[@BenVaserlan]

@@sH-ed5yf I have seen it.

[@Сергій-щ3б]

Yeah, yeah😂 cool story.

[@BenVaserlan]

@@Сергій-щ3б South Korea has an equivalent of S-350. Joint project with Russia produced both systems.

[@pwdajjal]

Even if the Russian were able to deploy the Armata in large quantity it would still be difficult to really confirm it is far better than any of their previous older tanks. So far no types of defensive system has able to defeat US made Javelin or Stinger missiles. Tank warefare has coming to an age of near obsolete and Russia has no plan B for their tanks except to try grind out "new" tank models whenever they can. The economic sanctions sure don't help them either so is the current war in Ukraine.

[@sargonassarg4356]

The use of 3D animations saw better use in this video. I take it you rendered those models for this video?

[@memoriblewerd]

And why has the Bear bomber seen little use

[@MehrLovin]

Why are they not able to produce at least 40-50? Did they design the entire thing around imported parts?

[@sabundus590]

You could say it like that. Furthermore those things are very expensive

[@techtical7079]

Russia imported their thermal imagers from a French company and they rely entirely on chip exports from Asia and the west. Also the tank is just a propaganda tool, it was likely never even intended to work seeing as how terrible it is. There is footage inside the tank and it looks like an archaic piece of shit.

[@Cooky00123]

Are they still putting extra fuel in those external drums on the back of the tank? Great idea.

[@bluntcabbage6042]

The tanks are _supposed_ to be drained/taken off before combat. _Supposed to._

[@sawney_bean]

Are they even nedeed in the Battlefield ?

[@danielc3003]

I believe it is called the T-14 because they only made 14 of them.

[@artjomsrimdjonoks2938]

T-14 main feature is a toilet for the crew. It is the most expensive armoured toilet in the world.

[@drgonzo305]

Oh they’re there, trust me they’re there

[@MongooseTacticool]

They should stop cereal production and start tank production 😂

[@RafaMieses]

Where are the t-14 armatas? In pieces, in the ground, waiting to be mined and turned into working parts (in another country) and assembled

[@exoticdachoo007]

We all joke about how the T-14 has invisible camo, but imagine if they actually do have some top secret technology that nobody knows about. Just some memers in the comment section guessing correctly

[@marengo6990]

Yeah that technology is called "spending your defence budget on luxury yachts"

[@yamatohime2035]

It was used for field test once and gathered data was sent back for improvement. Logically, no one would deploy any combat vehicle into battle while it still in polishing stage aside some real field tests.

[@matthiasfuhrmann8603]

As far as i know for sure they produced only twenty prototypes and never came in regulary service. They refused by the army cause of severals serious mechanical and further problems.

[@Xeonophon]

The price of oil does not affect the budget of Russia that much. the ruble devalues if the price of oil goes down, since oil is traded in Dollars , Russia still gets more rubles if the price is low.

[@bobbybates2614]

But it comes with the pop up turret

[@michaelpielorz9283]

T 14`s are still in the arsenals until the brake mystery will be solved!

[@BadgerBadgerBadger28]

What is a leo pard

[@3rdcain356]

hmmmm okay Tanknerds and maybe even Tankers. It might be that my brain is still waiting for its first dose of caffeine and im tripping, but should a stabilized gun behave like that? 5:09 to 5:17, is there an "STAB on/STAB off" switch or something? For like Transportation or something?

[@vahehatch2800]

What happen to the much extalled British tank?. No one promised t14s to spearhead the offensive.

[@RocketPropelledMexican]

It wasn't me this time, I tried to eat them but couldn't find any
