Description
The T-15 Armata (Russian: T-15 Армата), with industrial designation "Object 149", is a Russian heavy infantry fighting vehicle first seen in public (initially with its turret covered) in 2015 during rehearsals for the Moscow Victory Day Parade. The T-15 concept of heavy IFV is derived from design of BTR-T vehicle (based on T-55 chassis) that never entered military service. Existing BMP-3M is completely different vehicle, designed on the light tank chassis and is supposed to be succeeded by Kurganetz-25 platform.
