Why The T-14 Armata Tank Best Tank in the World - Top Tank in the World
Why The T-14 Armata Tank superior to other Main Battle Tanks (MBTs) | Best tank in the world | T-14 Armata the most revolutionary Main Battle Tanks (MBTs). Best tank in the world - The Armata T-14 was first demonstrated during the Victory Day Parade in May 2015 in Moscow. The actual production of the tanks was delayed. The first nine t14 Armatas were originally planned to be handed over to the Russian Ground Forces (RGF) in 2018. This date then got pushed to 2019 and then to 2021. The t 14 Armata can be accurately described as the first true “Russian” tank to land a contract for production, as it is the first tank design to do so that came after the fall of the Soviet Union. Design work for it began in 2010 at Uralvagonzavod, which also designed the T-55, T-62, T-72 and T-90 tanks. Russian tanks used to rely on high-tech foreign components in some subsystems. Now the entire information management suite hardware and software is also domestically produced.

“Since it employs an automatic loader, the T-14 doesn’t need a gunner...” uhm.. I don’t think that’s how it works
(If u don’t wanna read it all skip to the last line) Yes, but with my comment I wanted to underline quite a big mistake in the teminology used. Usually a tank only really needs a minimum of 2 crew members to operate, a driver (controls the movement of the tank) and a gunner (controls the weapon/s), except some very rare occasions a thinrd member is found in the role of the commander (gives order and organizes the work and outside of the tank). Now to the point of the video, many tanks also have a fourth (or more) crew member to help in the reloading process of the weapon/s, the loader, this role can be accompished also by an automated mechanism called “auto-loader”. So what happens inside the T-14 (a pretty much every single soviet/russian mbt from the T-54) is that an auto-loader takes the place of the human loader, NOT THE GUNNER!!
If the tank gets hot and the auto-loader gets damaged the gun becomes useless as it cannot be loaded manually. With a western tank, if the loader is wounded you just get another loader.
@@englishalan222 there are pros and cons to an autoloader. Yes as you said, its a machine whoch means that it can have malfunctions, if damaged it will need to be repaired, and overall a fourth man in the tank can always come in handy (for spotting, repais...). But on the other hand an autoloader will be much more efficent than a human, yes, there are some loaders that can load a 120mm shell in under 3 secs, but they won’t be able to do it consistently. For example the M1 Abrams has around 4/5 shells in a so called “sweet spot” in the ammo rack, but once those shells are gone it will take much longer to reload the gun, or the loader will be moving 120mm shells inside the fighting compartment, which isn’t really the best, in order to always have the “sweat spot” full. An autoloader doesn’t have that issue. Furthermore both systems can have the ammo placed in a safe place, where in case of fire/explosion I won’t destroy or damage the tank. They are both 2 very valid systems, Nato tanks usually will have a manual loader to benefit from its pros, while soviet tanks usually are equipped with an automatic one, also because it can drastically reduce the size of the tank, Just look at T-80, T-90 and even the K-2, Type 10 and Leclerc turrets, they are significantly smaller compared to the Chally the Leos and the Abrams, and a smaller target is harder to hit. There is no better system at the moment, both have quite big advantages and disadvantages
Its an unmanned turret
@@vale.44peru63 Вы перечислили несколько преимуществ танка с автоматом заряжания и только одно преимущество танка с четвёртым членом экипажа: он может когда-нибудь пригодиться. Ради этого приходится существенно увеличивать объём боевого отделения. Ведь заряжающий не сидит компактно на стуле, а стоит на ногах и таскает снаряды. А это тонны и тонны дополнительной стали, чтобы забронировать увеличившийся объём (в кубе!) и снижение стратегической мобильности: танк преодолевает не все мосты, нужны более мощные тягачи, платформы, самолёты и т.д. это увеличение давления на грунт, что ведёт к снижению проходимости (сокращает варианты манёвра на карте, или снижение тактической мобильности), ухудшает соотношение веса к мощности двигателя, опять снижение маневренности и увеличивает нагрузку на подвеску, двигатель и трансмиссию сокращая их ресурс. Бесконечно увеличивать вес нельзя - поэтому в большинстве проекций, кроме лобовой, толщина брони у танка с заряжающим очень невелика в сравнении с русскими танками с автоматом заряжания и плотной компоновкой. Вы верно указали, что заряжать быстрее автомата человек может только первые несколько снарядов. Затем он устаёт и снаряды надо доставать уже не из таких удобных мест. Делать это на ходу по пересечённой местности - хуже, чем русская рулетка. Автомат заряжания гарантированно безопасно заряжает при любой тряске. Автомат заряжания позволяет сделать основную боеукладку в самой нижней части танка. Это значит, что значительную часть времени в реальных условиях боеукладка будет скрыта от прицелов противника неровностями на местности. В отличие от танка с заряжающим, где боеукладка в башне всегда удобна для прицеливания противником. Наконец то, о чём западные воины стараются не думать: в случае по настоящему серьёзного конфликта будут применены ядерные средства поражения. Облучённый заряжающий просто не сможет таскать снаряды. А вот наводчику в русском танке нужно только нажимать кнопку. Он сможет это сделать и при сильном облучении. Русские всерьёз собираются воевать до конца. Солдаты НАТО готовы к такому? Так что Ваши слова, что лучшей системы нет - некорректны. Система с автоматом заряжания значительно превосходит по целому списку боевых качеств систему с лишним членом экипажа. Да и ещё: лишний член экипажа - это и увеличение потерь личного состава.

@@mangotaco9433 That doesn't change the fact that the basic design of most MBTs are still decades old. It should come as no surprise that a tank that was newly-built from the ground up in the last 5 years or so is better than tanks that were originally designed 40-50 years ago and have only had upgrades bolted on.
10-20 years is not much for a tank to be consider "old and outdated". You have Russian T-90AM which is 30 years old tank and still one of the best in the world.
@@matejsb4720 Compared to a new design and newer technology, it's old. This tank has other countries going back to the drawing board right?
@@matejsb4720 well the t90 is for russian standarts a good tank, but it is only a upgraded version of the t72 and compares very badly to western tanks like m1a1 or leo2a5-6 m1 and leo2 may be old, they have been kept up to date and modernised constantly and have been produced from the start to a higher standart than t72 and its competitors
I wasn't aware that issuing a press release was all it took to have the best tank in the world. No one believes the Russians would actually lie about their capabilities so everything must be true. Here I thought you had to actually build and field the tank and prove it in battle or at least in realistic simulations against your opponents. You know, walk the walk not just talk the talk.

At the end of the day, it's a super high maintenance intensive vehicle because all main battle tanks are like that no matter how well engineered they are. A tank is only as good as the mechanics and techs that take care of it. Fixing a tank is always brutal time consuming work. Tanks are the F-1 Formula race cars of the battlefield, everything engine must be completely stripped down and overhauled or replaced with a repaired engine and tracks replaced after each exercise or battle.
Truth. I know from experience. And all tanks throw track.
Engine and tracks replaced after every battle or exercise? Wow... 😳
Amm... no. You don't need to replace neither tracks nor engine after each exercise or battle. Tensioning the tracks, perhaps, sure! And the regular general daily maintenance and checks. But other than that, not really anything, unless you happen to have reached the next major service/maintenance point in the schedule. Or, if you actually managed to get hit during a battle engagement. Or, I don't know, perhaps sand gotten past the engine air intake filter, if you're in a desert environment. So, my question to you is, what kind of tanks have you been working on, since you present this bleak image?
You can see in Ukraine now how many tanks just get abandoned because they broke down. Bet the corrupt Russian army is not into regular maintenance
@@WiesoNurMistnamen I think they're mostly out of fuel

If Russia is losing so badly why spread NATO? Russia will be collapsed this year according to Western news.

This guy has made so many errors, and and now I can't take him seriously. It is irritating.
Here's one I don't think anyone caught. Minor but still a mistake. At 8:34 he says the USA had problems with the M-1 in Desert Storm. Not true. We had those problems during Desert Shield, the precursor to Desert Storm. The air filters on the M-1 tanks would cake up with sand. Chrysler had to real quick redesign the air filters and get them deployed. Desert Shield was a defensive strategy to protect mainly Saudi Arabia from further invasion. Once the problems with the M-1 were sorted and we had enough military mass, the strategy shifted to attack instead of defense. That would be Desert Storm.
@@protorhinocerator142 This what I'm saying the Abrams is combat proven, and MERKAVA tank; the armata is not, you don't know what errors a system can have till its in combat. Testing is fine but combat proven is another. And deserts storm was an amazing strategy.

The best thing about this is that it doesn't exist. Putlins tank is delayed - again.
The Russian military originally dispatched numerous reservists equipped with aging and underpowered equipment. As a result, the intended targets were weakened, and the missiles supplied by the West were used against less valuable targets instead. This tactic dates back to the dawn of warfare.

@@MT-pp9yy He said 2A7 , not 2A4. And those Leopards were destroyed because of shit Turkish crews.
I think it is way to early to say T-14 is the best. BUT I would bet every completely new MBT designs, will include all the following elements the T-14 has. 1) Modular design. 2) Crew-less Turret with autoloader 3) Armored modular crew compartment 4) Soft and hard kill protection.
The T14 Also has.... AI with auto detection, tracking and target lock. The ability to go fully robotic. Stealth. Ability to designate targets from stand off ranges and pass target coordinates to other more powerful long range anti tank platforms. Ability to deploy two drones for greater NLOS situational awareness.
Yeah but T14 is the first...and others are far behind...and by the time others are catching up, T14 will be an already tested and mature platform ready to implement newer technologies....
@@nerdianz8081 Well that is my point, you call it mature, but it is not. It is still only produced in small scale and at least from what is shown it is hard to say if all the systems are fully integrated and work in real world scenarios. Just to be fair I would put something like the F-35 in the same category. But tech that they wish to use in the T14 looks good, so if that can work as intended on a battlefield under those conditions then it would be the best tank. But this has not been shown yet.
The Russians build things to look dangerous, not actually be dangerous. Until the T-14 sees honest to god combat, it's a question mark. I am not sure about the crew less turret. Maybe if the west starts using bigger guns, that could force them to use an autoloader. As of now, there are a number of significant advantages to have the loaded. He's a 4th man to help with repairs and maintenance, which is a bigger deal than most realize. A well trained NATO loader can reload faster than an autoloader. He can also swap ammo on the fly far easier.
@@Elthenar the 13cm Rheinmetall that is currently in development is projected to probably use an autoloader... however I've heard from a few ex-military mates that tank crews always would have liked to have a 5th member (like in german tanks ruing WWII) to help with maintance and just in general. Going down to 3 from 4 would put more work load on the other 3. Also the issue of an unmanned, thinly armoured turret is that it's far easier to take out. And then you're left with a well protected hull...
Given that production started in 2015 and some of the basic designs elsewhere (like the abrams) are as old as 1975 (1980 production or so), one would hope that one for one, it's a little bit better. But you'd better have air superiority if you're riding around in it. Tanks are more useful for keeping your subjects in line in the last 50 years, and to that end, they may have arms customers who really like that feature.
the original Abrams yes though the newer models are up to date and capable there really isn't a best tank
Abrams constantly updated.
The worst threat to a tank is anti tank weapons. You need infantry moving with the tanks clearing the area before the tanks can go in otherwise they will get taken out as we are witnessing in the Ukraine.
Abrams M1A1 is into is second iteration now the M1A2 and in its third revision known as SEP(system enhanced package)V3. The Abrams is constantly being upgraded and retrofitted with new technology. It’s platform is too efficient and there is reason to go back to the drawing board and start from scratch.
The Leopard2 is same design and production period of the Abrahams.
Best tank in the world that will never see a battlefield due to only a few handful being produced, and those that are produced will likely be combat ineffective due to nearly non existent maintenance. But..... best tank in the world.
The same was said about Russian hypersonic missiles until Russia used them. And then everyone screamed in horror that these missiles exist.
@@Khetaggoldenboy ??? What are you on? Everyone knows hypersonic missiles exist, it's literally 1945 tech.
@@khangluong5672 I'm talking about new missiles. Which Putin showed at his inauguration. In the West they said that he shows cartoons. But it turned out that Russia used them in Ukraine, albeit the weakest of its arsenal.

ahaha the main feature is the ejectable turret!
Like a guy in the age of tanks series said, weapons always beat armor. Someone will probably just develop a warhead that deploys anti clusters before impact or something to stop it from being destroyed before impact.
Unfortunately, war has rules. If they didn't then every country would have this.
In the medieval ages tho somewhere around the invention of the gun armor surpassed the sword for a while.
@@whyarewestillhere8562 Yeah, it did, but the sword was usually a sidearm. Weapons in the medieval period should be looked at as a collection, because all cultures had sword equivalents or axe equivalents, and all of them were used where appropriate. Plate armor was superior to conventional sword tactics ( although half swording was a thing ) but in those cases, there were axes or Lucerne hammers, which were capable of transferring enough destructive force into the armor to harm the wearer. You might not break or crack the plate but that doesn’t mean it didn’t hurt.
@@attacpowdergaming7098 Whack someone in the side of the head with a warhammer and they are likely to just vomit and pass out.
Russia actualy has something like that. Their new RPG launcher features secondary projectile fired. Its designed to defeat ERA and possibly trigger the Active protection systems. The Israel active protection system has a long reload time and wont be able to fire twice. For comparison the tubes the t14 has on the sides are active all the time and can deal with multiple projectiles without reloading.
Impressive spec. I don't know what to make of the potential foreign customers' list though. At least two of them are close and getting closer to a major competitor, who would love a sample for both industrial and military intelligence. Also, with all 3 crew members encapsulated and digitally connected like that, are we almost at the point of having a full telepresence MBT?
Very far. Such a vehicle would be extremely vulnerable to both comms jamming and e-warfare.
M1 Abrams, 4 crew members. T-72, 3 crew members (no loader). T-14 Armata 2 crew members.
This Dident age well
would be if it actually fucking existed!
History has shown that, even with disparities in equipment capabilities, CREW TRAINING is usually the deciding factor, as Israel showed on Golan in 1973.
Naturally, when comparing hardware, the crew skill is and must be out of the equation. And yes, you can still be a super-skilled CS player using a old hardware, beating players using cutting-edge hardware.

And always will be. There is also logistics and deployment. Refueling, maintenance, deployment, etc...This is b where the US rules the armor world.
Full of inaccuracies... there are a lot of better YT channels contributing on the T-14
Even spelling and grammatical mistakes
Can u name them. Id like to see their videos.
@@danny_d_bongo start with Red Effect, TankNutDave, Matsimus, Blacktail Defense, Defenseupdate, the tank museum
@@superwout nice thanks
@@superwout I watch all them too, as well as The Chieftain, The Scottish Koala
Yeah it is surely the best, thats why they cant use it in Ukraine it will be the best tank target for javelins and nlaw. They stil use auto loader with built-in pressure cooker.
And this why I get kicks from reading old predictions! 🙂
Im impressed, but remember Desert Storm? Saddam had just bought a lot of "unbeatable russian tanks". If memory serves me right, after the largest tank battle in modern history, the US had one tank down, because of a broken track, Saddam's entire tank force was destroyed. History doesnt always repeat, maybe this is indeed very different, but it gives me a large pause. All sides are always bragging and then increasing funding while the contractors are rubbing their hands together lol
I think it's not a big deal for the tractor to tow it
Probably even sh!ttier than the T-90
I guess we know now that the Armata was quite literally *_too good to be true._*
We will never know because it sits in garage all day long.
Very interesting information, thank you! Do you have more information on the armour steel grade and type of composite material that is used?
Of course he has. It is absolutely NOT a secret information :)
he made by plywood...like other russian fake weapon)))
@@user-di5fx9gc2c из фанеры у вас калаши, и кастрюли вместо касок, а танки на изоленте🤣
It's superior to other tanks because it won every battle on paper and imagination.
perfect post
Well, you aren't wrong there.
If the T-14 Armata is a super tank. Then what the actual hell is a Ukrainian farmer? Superman and Batman in one?
Javelins and NLAWS: “yummy”
Every new tank will take same principles as Armata platform,it just makes sense!
Except auto loader.
@@tommygun5038 Autoloader too, its dumb not to use it since human loaders cost more than replacing an autoloader + autoloaders can load heavy shells in just 6 seconds or even less
@@St.Matthew422 True but it makes the tank overall more expensive and harder to maintain, not to mention if 1 or 2 little things go bad the entire loading system will need to be checked and it'll probably be out of the fight if that happens for who knows how long.
@@tommygun5038 Guy, are you manually loading your machinegun too? I mean manual feeding. Did a shot? Feed a round! Did a shot? Feed another one!
@@worldoftancraft ....Tanks aren't machine guns and auto loaders have their own drawbacks. Which is why very few countries have that system on MBTs. During the first gulf war a M1 crew had 3 kills in 5 seconds.
Let us all hope that we never find out how good it really is as opposed to TV productions and gymkanas.
It's not any good as they haven't made any.
Ukrainian farmers just stole one while you were watching this video
Не в мире, а в мечтах.

@@DTczsk1999 Чего?
How can you rank a tank that is not field/battle proven. I might be biased due to being a US Army Veteran once assigned to the 3rd ACR How Battery at Ft Carson. I know what M1A2 can due in combat. Just because it looks nice doesn’t mean it is the best tank in the world. This is my opinion only. Great Video👍🏽
They don't have to test it in battle, they can just test it.
What's better, nimitz class carrier or ford class carrier? Later have not been battle tested yet afaik
That's because the T-14 armata is the most advanced tank in the entire world to this date.
With the technology the world has you can battle test a tank without it even being in combat. And you look at the statistics of a tank. Like how much armour it has size of the gun the kind of thermals it has how much gas it takes to operate speeed mobility ect
And you also look at how dated the tank is in general aswell. Like the Abrams although it has upgrades the model itself is still 50 years old and outdated compared to the model of a t-14 which has taken the good stuff from previous tanks and other counties tanks throughout the years. And it also has an auto loader which gives it an advantage over tanks that don’t have them. And the armatas crew is separated from the ammo completely so if the tank does get hit the crew is completely safe. So you Jsut look at stuff like that. And like I said before with the technology we have now you can simulate battles without the tank leaving the garage
The ammunition magazine auto-loader should be inside of a heavily reinforced container with a blowout panel, instead of having the cannon shells contained in a ring pattern around the turret. This design flaw has caused many Russian tanks to explode spectacularly when the turret armor his penetrated by any anti-tank projectile. The United States' new AbramsX tank was designed with lessons learned from the armored combat in the Russo-Ukraine war.
Why T-14 is best tank in world... because it's only seen on the parade grounds and it cleans up nicely? High maintenance and Russian are things that don't really tend to go well together. Have you ever seen a Russian Air Force base? Good gawd they can't even be bothered to throw garbage in a garbage can. No way they pay to maintain those vehicles properly. Their tank crews don't get maps or mission objectives and you're going to put them in a high tech vehicle? Hilarious. Ukrainian farmers can't wait to start towing them.
This is *thee* GREATEST tank ever designed! It cannot be destroyed by any other tank, not even at point-blank-range. It is armed with a 16-inch naval gun that is accurate to 24 miles. It can drive along the ocean floor at close to 50 knots. It can fly! It can shoot down fighter jets, satellites, you name it! And it is equipped with the PIONEER FH-X830BHS Double Din Stereo system. It even has an ice cream maker! ... *(JUST DON'T TAKE IT TO A PARADE.)*
When you try so hard to be funny, but end up being stupid 🤣:
Hahahaha! "The only feature it lacks is a washer/dryer, but they are working on that as we speak" :))
Don't worry, none of the top 5 has proven anything. All of them are 3+ generation and look very good on paper. In one-on-one terrain, you don't know. Abrams in simulations in Germany was hit hard by a TR85M1. So what are we talking about? The details make the difference and how well the crew knows their car and above all how much they can get out of it. The rest is just fine. It's like formula 1. The driver is 80% of the car. If he's weak, the car is called a Ferrari for nothing .
It can drive? - Not for a long time. I think that's the main problem.
It's so good they stopped production and is currently trying to develop an entire new tank, amazing.
How to evaluate something that is not used in real combat.
Never seen in action. You would imagine it was used in Ukraine 🇺🇦 long time ago 🤷🏼♂️ Never was
So, a tank that Russia cannot afford to produce, and which has no reliability is the best in the world? Russia planned to have 2,300 T-14's by 2020. Instead it has just 10-20 parade-models. Seems like a HUGE fail to me.
The best? You can't say the best about a tank that had only been seen in a parade and has never been tested in battle.
A legend, in their own mind.
On paper it's the best tank in the world, but in terms of combat, It's still cannot be said the same since we've never since this in active combat
Pronto lo estara no te preocupes , ya desde 2014 lo habían anunciado y en 7 años ya deben de tener cientos de ellos

Bruh, we all know it can’t stand up against the Bob Semple tank.
The video says it’s has a auto loader so the crew don’t need a gunner. Why would you not need a gunner because of a auto loader?
he also said gunner sits in the middle. lol
he also said that the anti-HEAT cage protects the exhaust pipes, not the engine compartment
The gunner aims and fires the gun, and usually there's a separate crew member who loads the gun, which is what an autoloader gets rid of
@@MGZetta he does
To fire the weapon on the commanders order
