The T-14 "Armata" tank should be put into service in late 2020 - early 2021, said the head of the Russian Ministry of Industry and Trade Denis Manturov. According to him, applications are received from foreign customers.
"Armata" - a tank on a heavy tracked platform. Designed to conduct combat in direct contact with the enemy, support the offensive of motorized rifle units and for other purposes.
“We expect that upon completion of the state tests, the Ministry of Defense will soon adopt it. Everything, of course, depends on state tests. It seems to me that this will happen before the end of this year - at the beginning of next year, ”said Mr. Manturov in an interview with Zvezda TV channel at the Army-2020 forum. He said that a lot of applications come from foreign customers. They monitor the testing of the machine and "look forward to an early completion."
In 2018, the Russian Ministry of Defense signed a contract with Uralvagonzavod to purchase 132 T-14 and T-15 on the Armata platform. The price of one tank in serial production is estimated at about 250 million rubles. In July, the Armata tank was tested in unmanned mode.
