All previous weapons programs have been scrapped. As well as the state armaments program currently being developed for the period until 2035. The priorities of programs aimed at fulfilling tasks in the field of the Aerospace Forces and the Navy are a thing of the past. Now completely different tasks are coming to the fore, primarily in terms of developing the potential of the Ground Forces.
Tanks play an important role in the potential of ground forces. And not only there, but they also make a significant contribution to the development of the Airborne Forces, Marine Corps and coastal forces of the Navy.
The war on land is concrete, bloody, tanks are shooting at each other at a distance of hundreds of meters. For enemy losses, please refer to the website “Summary of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on the progress of the special military operation.” Our losses are also impressive.
This is a people's war. In addition to the conscription of the 300,000 conscripts, there was widespread support for various initiatives carried out by volunteers using funds raised from public money.
I will note those that are carried out for tank forces:
- equipping tanks with closed communication means that allow communication with infantry and artillery, with all interacting bodies;
- equipping tanks with dynamic protection “boxes”;
- equipping tanks with programs for firing from a closed firing position (IOP);
- equipping tanks with electronic warfare equipment;
- equipping tanks with camouflage means.
Now the troops are receiving tanks T-72B3 (upgraded in 2023), T-90M, T-80BVM, T-62MV-1. Plus, the troops have tanks from previous years of production. Where is Armata?
Unfortunately, the company of Armata tanks in the army has been disbanded; their further path follows from the desire to improve it. When will he appear in the troops? Not until next year.
The T-14 "Armata" will fully play a leading role on the battlefield when it is in a single armored battle formation along with the heavy infantry fighting vehicle T-15 "Barberry". Advancing after the firing line of the mobile firing zone supplied by 2S35 "Coalition-SV".
This offensive can be supported by:
- ATGM based on MT-LB;
- Tunguska-M1 air defense systems and Tor-M2 air defense systems;
- UR-77 mine clearing installation, BMR-3M combat clearing vehicles, MTU-90 tank bridge layer;
- PRP-5 artillery reconnaissance vehicles;
- combat vehicles of the aircraft controller BOMAN;
- a group of electronic warfare equipment.
All calculations have been carried out, the composition of forces and means has been determined.
Our cause is just, the enemy will be defeated, victory will be ours!
