T-15 'Armata' Heavy Infantry Fighting Vehicle | RUSSIAN ADVANCED TROOP CARRIER 

В прибрежной зоне Энергодара дополнительно уничтожено две баржи с десантом по 140 бойцов на каждой и около 50 бойцов в районе Никополя, готовившихся к следующей транспортировке.Суммарная потеря элитных частей ССО ВСУ и ГУР ВСУ около 320 человек, 230 из которых проходили обучение в Великобритании.По данным, требующим дополнительной верификации, на побережье Днепра в районе Никополя погибли 6-8 офицеров британского Минобороны. В плену на данный момент уже 4 офицера ВСУ.

I thought it was designated the T-15 "Terminator"?

It would be interesting to see the statistics on how many of these T 15 Armada are burning in Ukraine

Giving Russia to much credit there, probably never see one out of prototype phase

@@MrMruzi177 true

You mean 7 lol

For the last six months, the Russians have been making $1 billion in extra profit from gas sales every day, which is half the US defense budget. Considering the prices of Russian weapons and the salaries of soldiers, it is more like four budgets. Along the way, it grinds out the strongest army in Europe backed by unlimited funds from NATO, plus a legion of foreign mercenaries. One has to ask, does Russia need to rush into anything?

I'm sure Ukraine & allied countries will find them very informative after capture.

and it never will be seen/used if we go with the russian track record

It was the belief they needed to swim...

@@barukkazhad8998 Oh it can swim. Same way as their cruiser Moskva.

Hopefully it fails spectacularly! Corrupt army of orcs.

@@charonboat6394 nothing wrong with a boat that can also be a submarine.

Well because of the war the military has become a way bigger priority for the Russian state. Now they have to modernize their army even if it takes away funds from other sectors. It is not just a prestige project anymore to produce these new vehicles. And do people actually still believe that these T-62s seen in Ukraine were meant for the Russian army? It has been proven a couple of times now that they have been provided for the DPR and LPR forces and not for the Russians.

they wont be able to produce anything for years after this war, they couldn't even produce them before the war when their economy was at least in working state now no fucking way lmao

@The Beginning is Near The Banderites barely used tanks. They went to guerilla war from the start and squandered their conventional forces.

@The Beginning is Near No. There was plenty of footage of tanks in good shape that never left their base.

Well, how many are in Ukraine? There's your answer.

@@unknownarchon8860 You're right. Russains lost so many soldiers in Afganistan.

This is a Russian built vehicle not soviet it is a quality peice of equipment but it really all depends on how well maintained it is as Russians aren't known for looking after their vehicles

I prefer to call it optimistic. Here's hoping Russian 'quality' continues to deliver.

Russian manufacture is not known for quality either. Recall the tank ERA panels that had cardboard or rubber in place of the explosive. Good manufacturing practice or design would not allow for that to happen.

@@hsaurid that’s not manufacturing, that’s outright corruption. There’s a difference, manufacturing would be looking at the actual equipment, not whether it’s present or not.

Only hardkill / softkill APS and not getting seen in the first place can save and IFV from an AT weapon

@@V-V1875-h even aps can fail in a forest for example, if you shoot a HAT from 30 meters or somewhere close covered by trees or bushes, the aps could fail to pick up the incoming rocket

@@bycoxtax8562 yes, that's why I mean not getting hit, cause ATGMS dont care about armor on IFVs

I can't wait for decent engineers to get their hands on some of the bluepronts of vehicles like this and the Antonev. Criminal how such marvels have been squandered by corruption...

Looks like Arma 3

It`s a shame we`ll never see it blown into smithereens in Ukraine as it never will be produced.

If they did they would have deployed them by now it took them ages to deploy the t90 thinking it would turn the battle but fount it was no better

Nothing like it

Because they are both based on the same Aramata platform

@@hansmeyer7225 Ah, simple enough! thanks

Facts bro it's a good vehicle but in Russian hands it's difficult to say

Where's Abrams??

The T-15 design seems nice on paper. Honestly, it seems pretty similar to something I would sketch if you told me I could design anything similar for my vast imaginary armor. The only problem is that Russia and I have pretty much equal capacity to field them in significant numbers in the real world. Unlike Russia, I can admit that my empire is completely imaginary.

I wouldnt trust Ukr soldiers. They used T-80 that they cannibalized for spare parts as a proof Russian tanks dont have proper ERA. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-mauaaIeoxwg.html

Well most of the really old stuff that gets used in Ukraine is being used by DPR and LPR troops and not by the Russian army. And Ukraine isn't really in the position to say that the Russians use garbage when they use some real mad max shit.

You mean btr-t?

@@osefman2763 yep

its useless

@@Brian-qj4kk BTR-T or Namer? BTR-T never went into production so kinda never saw use anyways

@@voidphobia1850 it sort of did and it didn’t. A variant of it is currently used as the BMO-T, which is essentially the same thing just without the turret and 30mm.

I mean if it was the US making these things… then sure. But when it’s Russia… who has an equivalent total GDP equal to California… no.

@@LawAndTheory Yes economy is always an secondary battlefield - the main, for many products. There is an global economy war ongoing on weapons, so maybe many nations will go for more basic stuff so the're not that much entagled in this war. But you can absoluty say that T-15 is too much in one package. Great for the soldiers inside, but tricky to field in numbers able to protect such a vast nation. It was a showing of ability and advertisement, so we have to sit back and wait fro the market to cool down. So far all these 'flex' products are super expensive, and we'll see who end up on which side of teh trade wars (whcih is way more relevant as what nations need what kind of equipemnt). But i'm happy for every person in service being protected by something like this.

@@LawAndTheory It must be mighty, as i'm german and had way more complex discussions with people from all around the world xD But for sure the problem isen't on your side. That would be naive to think =P

@@LawAndTheory Happy to hear we can agree on this^^

@@LawAndTheory Usually the sane and responsible buyers wouldn't jump into big buys before the product is tested and proven. No one would pay for an army of prototypes.

Canada built the Kangaroo in WW2 from Sherman's.

I was a merkava 4 driver and the front engine doesnt make it harder to see, the compartment was to the left of the engine so it didnt interfere, although the engine made it hot as hell in there

Why would you be surprised. Almost no one needs a “heavy” IFV when they’re almost completely useless in a modern peer to peer battle. The only use they have is against lightly to heavily armed personnel (unarmed Palestinian children) since any modern cannon can easily pen the “heavy” IFV armour

I think any armored vehicle (crewed not unmanned) still needs a backup drivers visionport to see throu incase the advanced vision cameras get hit or mulfunction. Sorry for my english :)

@@siimpuu7548 Your english is very good Siim, thank you for the reply.

Why would they have fielded it?

@@TheMarineGamerIGGHQ The T14 ? Because they only have about a BN of them , there isnt a foriegn after market for the t14 so they wont get the capital to produce a bunch of them

@@StabbinJoeScarborough that doesn't answer the question

@@TheMarineGamerIGGHQ which vehicle are you refering too ?

@@StabbinJoeScarborough the T14. Its not like they were in a rush up until now. They have had no reason to field it with the T90s and such they're still running. They don't have the US' people stealing funds to put into vehicles they wouldn't be using

b-but t14 armata has 80 productions 😳

Agreed. Very advanced concept but Russia doesn’t seem to have the capability to mass produce it.

It's not even that they don't have the money or ability. The Russian arms industry is woefully corrupt and has seen oligarchs get rich for very little in the way of results. Russia going through a war and transferring to a war economy might fix many problems. Maybe we will see a few hundred units between all armata platforms in 2023/24.

@@AHalz nope they can

@@AHalz I think their priorities are to build another Vila for Shoigu 😁 But seriously they can produce them but now priorities are different. They're delivering T-90Ms for the army right now.

Sadly no, best thing it explodes, worst it just kinda burns, it doesn't have the same form of ammunition racks that make the pressure go upwards all spectacularly

Yes, of course, the main thing is to believe the media. I think in 10 years we will evaluate the real result.

Namer IFV is the closest comparison.

"from a communist country" takes t-14 as example. lmao. you think people taking your braindead ass serious??

Oh like HIMARS? Zelenski's Wunderwaffen?

What they dont take into consideration is that at some point soldiers are going to dismount. Just look at the BRDM. Would you like to crawl over the engine before dismounting ?

They often only think about the profile. The crew doesn't have the space to be confortable (which is very important when you can be days inside the vehicle...)

Yeah...I thought the same thing.

Uh no I strongly disagree First of all the namer definitely absolutely is nowhere near the T-15 in terms of protection, not even close.. Second of all I would argue that the T-15's kornet is just better than the spike missile on the namer

@@someboi4535 lmao no. The namer weights 12 tonns more than the t15 making it much more armored, and equipped with trophy APS which is extensively battle proven active protection system, unlike the Russian one. And the spike NLOS is far supirior to the kornet in every aspect. The t15 amata is far inferior to the namer in every aspect except mobility

*You're

@@bruhh249 But unmatched as a parade float 😭 lol

from what ive read up the production is worse than the T-14.. and theres even only 40 T-14s in service

Yes 3 or 4 were used in Syria and prove to perform poorly, all were knocked out and quickly covered up to not show the weakness.

@@Dragonfire-tn2jg That was false news. The T-14 was never tested in Syria . Theres literally no evidence of any even being deployed there. That was a false story for anti russian propaganda. Plus if the Syrian militia destroyed it they would of taken videos and pictures like they always do whenever they attack a tank

@@Dragonfire-tn2jg nice made up story

I dont understand the thinking of the people like you. If you make a new vehincle, the first thing you wanna do is to send it to the war and make it get captured and destroyed? If i use your logic, where is the abramsX , the kf51 panther, the m1a2 sep V3 abram , the pl-01, the leclerc evolution, the lynx 120....? Where are they? Somewhere in a safe place where they cant be captured and and used up against the country!! And this its the same with the t-14 and t-15 armata!

especially after seeing how the reddit battalions & ghost of kiev are wrecking the whole ruZZian orc army in the successful kherson counter offensive... #slavacocaini

While it does look like that, don't take it at face value. Western vehicles haven't yet encountered modern ATGMs in a near peer conflict, while it did perform recently against old RPG-7s and the likes, it has not been tested against contemporary ATGMs, so it "retains" its prestige so far. For example, turkish Leopard 2A4s got knocked out by russian atgms, does that mean Leopard 2 sucks now? Obvious there are more factors in play. Not saying russian equipment is better in any way and they do have obvious flaws, but that comparison is just skewed and biased. Hypothetically speaking, if you compare T-90s blowing up in Ukraine by Javelins to M1A1 Abrams getting hit by modern ATGMs like Kornet and survived and compared it like that, then its rational to conclude that Russian equipment sucks from that.

I agree. The logistics of maintaining this vehicle will be easier, in terms of parts, given it is a shared platform. However, at nearly 50 tons, it is going to be a very thirsty beast and yet more tractor fodder, should the Russians not get their act together.

Good point, in one word CHIPS!

Are you a specialist on any matter regarding Russian defense industry? Answer a hard "NO". So don't give any answers before you know anything about it at all...

@@stingerrgb2754 Please try to remain civil. By your definition, nobody would be able to say anything about any country's defence industry, because at its heart ALL the important information is always going to be classified. One does not need to be an expert on the Russian defence industry, to be able to make some useful observations. Defence manufacturing has commonalities around the world, so if you are familiar with the processes, and technologies, you can make useful observations. For example, we know from captured equipment, that a significant proportion of the high tech found in Russian equipment is sourced from Western countries and is now sanctioned. This makes sense, as Russia lacks any capacity to manufacture even low end computer chips. We also know that, following the initial 2014 sanctions, Russia has found workarounds that allow it to produce at least some high tech equipment in limited quantities. But that they appear to be making the same mistake as WW2 Germany, in that they are wasting these in one shot "precision" wunderwaffe, rather than more boring equipment, that might actually change the dynamic on the battlefield. Given just how much equipment Russia has lost since February, combined with the fact that they were gambling on a short war, it is unlikely that they'll be able to make good their losses of high tech components without significant buy in from nations, like China, that have already demonstrated a huge reluctance to get involved and who would arguably benefit from a militarily weakened Russia. Don't forget that the Russian port of Vladivostok used to be Chinese and they'd love the opportunity to take it back and obtain a Pacific port that bypasses the First Island Chain. With respect to the entire Amarta program, we know that they are years behind schedule. By now, they were supposed to have over 2,000 T-14s and very few of the older Soviet era designs remaining in active service. We can objectively observe that this is not the case. Also, they are unlikely to ever field these weapon systems, in their current configuration. Unless the Russians are too stupid to learn from the current conflict, they'll be looking to significantly increase the top armour protection of all these vehicles. Against modern ATGMs the traditionally poor top armour of all previous generations of armoured vehicles has turned out to be a significant point of failure. By way of example, after their experiences in the Gaza Strip, Israel redesigned the Merkava to be far more resilient to top down attacks, even going so far as to remove the loader's hatch, as this created a point of weakness. The Russians could just slap on more armour and be done with it. But then they'll face the same issue that the WW2 Germans had with many of their rushed vehicles, in that they'll discover all sorts of problems, because you can't just throw a few tons of armour onto a vehicle, without it straining the suspension, engine, drivetrain and making it top heavy and more prone to rolling (See PzKpfw V - AKA Panther). Modern weapon systems are complicated beasts and you can't change one aspect, without it impacting the entire package. The question about logistics and support for the vehicle, once fielded is significant. The Amarta series is a huge departure from all previous generations of tank. It will need expert maintenance personnel who are highly trained on all of its unique features and bleeding edge technology. This doesn't happen overnight. For example, if the external cameras stop working, you'll need someone who knows exactly how they are wired, and likely points of failure, in order to get the vehicle back on track. No cameras, no ability to reverse safely, which would be a real bitch for your accompanying infantry. We also know, from announcements made by the Russian MOD that they are focusing on upgrading vehicles currently in storage. Given that they have only limited resources, this will inevitably put the Amarta program further behind making the entry of any of these vehicles into the current conflict increasingly unlikely.

Yeah man so many trolls around now

You mean, he needs a open hatch to watch out for enemies, hahaha, good luck with that!
