I know your using published (official) numbers but I know for a fact that the Abrams can go much faster than the stated speed limit. I can assume much the same for the others.

A former German tank designer interviewed on the channel of Panzermuseum Munster said that the idea of unmanned turrets was well researched, but western engineers never liked it much (outside a few ill-fated attempts like the concepts leading up to the M60 Starship). It had too many practical issues for simple things, like no longer having the option to stick your head out of the turret to look at something that's at a bad angle for a camera. The designer also emphasised that Armata's size is now much more comparable to western tanks than the former Soviet designs.

The answer is no for three reasons. Reason 1: the Russian military can't afford to buy very many of them, so it's highly unlikely that they'd play a decisive role. Reason 2: the Russian military has clearly demonstrated that they do not understand armored or aerial combat in the least and, as such, any vehicle they deploy is going to be significantly less effective.

I was thinking the same thing. Russia has only produced about 20 T-14s to date. And given the financial and technological sanctions caused by Russia's invasion of Ukraine, they may not be able to produce very many, if any, for the next decade. Meanwhile Russia's actions will have boosted NATOs military spending by another 1% of GDP or so for the next decade. And since NATOs GDP is much higher than Russia's (and will be relatively less affected by the war and sanctions) the existing spending disparity (NATO spent 12x more than Russia in 2016, so will probably outspend Russia by 20x-25x each year for the next decade) will only increase.

@@giovanni-ed7zq There's a difference between taking ground and keeping it - tanks are for the second-wave once the air-battle's been won to comb out any remaining hostile forces with less losses than you would get with pure infantry. Or, they should be at least *looks at Russia...* As for defence, a tank is significantly easier to hide than a jet (which normally needs an airstrip+hangars+all the equpiment needed to re-arm, repair and refuel it) - as all you need to do is drive to a position with a decent view and some foiliage, throw a camo net and drape some shrubbery over it - wait a week or so when the airstrikes have died down and the enemy convoys are coming in and then clean off and jump into the tank, fire off a few HE shells to decimate an incoming enemy convoy at many times the range of standard infantry anti-tank weapons - then relocate (while being entirely safe from any small-scale retaliation), cover up the tank and take cover in the 10 or so minutes it'll probably take for the enemy to scramble an airstrike. Also, don't forget that active defence systems exist and can be mounted on tanks now - so it'll take a lot more than a single missile to kill a modern western tank. Throw in the fact that countries like Germany have developed armour which can emulate different heat signitures to throw off enemy targeting/identification and they're far from irrelevent - they just have a lesser role now within combined arms doctrine than they did in previous conflicts.

The A-10 is fairly niche in the modern battlefield, as it is relatively slow and lacks stealth. It's main advantages are cost per mission/hour and ability to stay in an area for a long time (loiter time). It's great for asymmetrical warfare. However, anywhere that expensive modern assets like the T-14 are deployed would also likely have AA support sufficient to deter it. A more likely aerial threat would be smart bombs dropped from high altitude, for example, from an F35.

[@bhangrafan4480]

Some truth in this but I don't know where the overwhelming numbers of enemy tanks are coming from. NATO has greatly slashed it tank numbers, Armoured divisions are very expensive to maintain in peace time, though Poland has greatly increased them. There is even now a bizarre debate about abolishing the tank. The main NATO advantage is going to be in the air as the US can fly in almost any number of its huge reserve of aircraft within days, as long as the ground facilities are still usable. However NATO has some similar problems to that of the Germans in going to war against Russia in WW2. NATO equipment is highly engineered according to the doctrine of tactical superiority, win the battle and you win the war. This did not work out for Germany because of the prolonged nature of the conflict. NATO too has very limited stocks of ammunition which is vastly expensive to produce and it would be long and costly to also replace losses in materiel and men. In the short-term Russia has an advantage because it takes time for NATO to bring US heavy division across the Atlantic, but this advantage will quickly diminish as US airpower builds up. In the middle-term NATO has a strong advantage once it can bring its full ground forces and air power to bear. If however NATO cannot force a victory quite quickly they could be faced with a sudden massive downgrading of their tactical capabilities due to losses of the their most expensive and difficult to replace weapons systems and shortages of extremely expensive ordnance. NATO has another problem in a technologically downgraded long war, the shortage of manpower. NATO armies are capital intensive relying on the firepower of technology, but have much reduced manpower. This caused serious problems in Iraq. Russia still has a rather more labour intensive army. If the war goes on for long NATO will struggle to hold any ground against Russian infantry.

Thanks Binkov. If Russia produced a new generation tank that outcompeted all other tanks by far, however it would never rule the battlefields as Russia simply does not have the money to build any high end military units an any kind of meaningful numbers. Having said that, the Russians do really need the T14 in meaningful numbers, because their current tanks and armoured units are getting absolutely OBLITERATED in Ukraine. It's a horrible situation for 90% of the Russian soldiers who do not even want to be there.

Very innovative design and even with all known-unknowns I guess a force to be reckoned with.

Not.

@@oyundashzeveg8883 I think so too. Albeit not in isolation but as a key element in a combined arms team.

That "innovative" Design was already tested in USA and Germany 40 years ago...

Nope, it's an obsolete bucket of bolts before it even entered production and they can't even afford to build many of them. It's been one year since the invasion of Ukraine and the T-14 has yet to appear on the battlefield.

Still miles behind the challenger 2 tank and that's 23 years old.

It really depends on who has the air superiority.

I think your gun mantlet protection kenetic stats are very inflated. To achieve penetration and crew kills through the gun mantlet might be more difficult than normal turret armor because the kenetic penetrator needs to get through the massive steel gun breach after the mantlet armor. However, to damage the gun so it can no longer be used it is likely that any modern projectile only needs to hit the mantlet or barrel because the subsequet transfer of energy would warp the gun breach and barrel in an irreparable manor.

Any hit to the T-14 turret should be able to critically damage the auto loader or fire control systems and mission kill it.

[@kden9772]

@@roceye yes that’s the point
