Russia's Armata T-14 Tank Super Dangerous on the Battlefield

The 48-ton vehicle continues some Russian/Soviet tank traditions including use of a crew of three, an autoloader for the main gun, and primary armament being a smoothbore 125mm main gun. The T-14 has been developed with extensive modern and advanced systems to make it a featured product of any future Russian armored spearhead. One of the key internal characteristics is the tank's crew all being located in the forward hull - none residing in the turret - meaning that the driver is front-left with the commander at front-right and the gunner at center. The main gun is a remotely-controlled 125mm 2A82-1M smoothbore and features 45 ready-to-fire rounds. In keeping with Soviet Cold War tank tradition, the main gun also features the useful capability of firing Anti-Tank Guided Missiles (ATGMs) - a feature sorely missing from Western counterparts. Secondary armament appears to be of some confusion - sources stating a 7.62mm medium machine gun with supporting 12.7mm Kord heavy machine gun (HMG) for local air defense (a Remote Weapon Station (RWS) is showcased atop the turret roof) or 30mm ranging autocannon with 12.7mm HMG for use against low-flying aerial targets. The finalized weapons set will undoubtedly be revealed over time.
