Tests for a new version
Tests for a new version of the T-14 tank are almost done. These tests are happening at the 38th Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense of Russia. In December 2023, we learned that the Rostec corporation is making progress on this powerful T-14 Armata tank. Sergey Chemezov, the head of Rostec.
Chemezov highlighted that the new T-14 tank will soon be more challenging for enemies, as final adjustments are being made during tests. “We finished it some time ago, so we will soon see the results,” Chemezov said last December.
He added that the latest T-14 tank, built on the “Armata” platform, now has advanced electronic systems made in Russia. This upgrade also includes a new fire control system. However, he did not provide more details about this enhanced T-14 version and its increased firepower.
Later, details came out from a source in the defense industry. They revealed that this new T-14 model replaces the 125-mm 2A82-1M gun, which is 56 calibers long, with a much-improved 152-mm smoothbore 2A83-1A gun that has a chrome barrel and is 48 calibers long.
Some believed the project was paused to focus on another version with a 125 mm barrel. Others thought the project might have been permanently stopped. However, no official statements were made about this vehicle until December 2023.
