MOSCOW, December 31.
/TASS/. Russia’s T-14 tank based on the Armata platform will undergo state
trials in the Defense Ministry’s scientific and research institutions next
year, the ministry’s press service said on Monday.
"The T-14 tank,
which has been created on the universal Armata platform and developed for the
Ground Forces, is completing the manufacturer’s trials. The fighting vehicle in
2019 will start undergoing state trials in the Russian Defense Ministry’s scientific
and research institutions," the ministry said.
The T-14 is the world’s
only post-war third-generation tank. Armata is Russia’s development, which has
no counterparts in the world.
Earlier, Deputy Defense
Minister Alexei Krivoruchko said the Defense Ministry had signed a contract
with Uralvagonzavod for the delivery of 132 T-14 tanks and T-15 infantry
fighting vehicles based on the Armata combat platform. The supplies are due to
be completed by 2021.
