EVENT VEHICLE???
omg W GAIJIN
W would be in the tech tree
yeah but this really cool tho
atleast it isnt another prem
Kaktus is nonexistent, and the T-14 doesn’t use malachite.
Does this get the 25km reverse or whatever? That’s gonna be more useful than anything else.

I’m so sorry, it appears as if I’m wrong. I can see now, thanks to your enlightenment, that they exist.

Then is it an improved version of K-5, being called Kaktus by magazines and wikipedia?
What about big daddy round griffel can it fire long sabot rounds?
Engine is stated to be 1400 hp it could have the 25km reverse speed no idea about transmission.

In its most barebones configuration you get a T-80U with a quick reload and the ability to not explode upon being touched.
In its most paper configuration you get a new hull ERA array for good measure.
I’d say while these attributes aren’t revolutionary or unique in themselves they do address most of the weaknesses inherent to your typical conventional T-80. You won’t get a meme machine but you’ll get one of the most powerful, even if boring, vehicles in the game until the 1980s monster tanks show up.

Dude what kind of 3d models are you presenting, they kinda resemble the black eagle but suspect at best.
This one is better.
That was what ‘if prototype and production mades’. Like Object 292, Object 640 also not go stage further out of technological demonstrator. So vehicle that actually made and pictured is quite different from what Omsk wants to develop.
That diagram is also wrong as really made Object 640 has hull ERA only Kontakt-5, not Kaktus.

Wikipedia isn’t a credible source and “magazines” are irrelevant.
Kaktus doesn’t exist, you can cope it out however you’d like but it’s nothing more than a classic Zalog savior-complex cope over his favorite vehicle falling behind in the 4th generation race.
Just as the '640 never planned for a 152mm, it didn’t have Kaktus.
The variant gaijin should add
I already know that magazines and Wikipedia are not credible, its just that a lot of sources in English and other languages use the word “Kaktus” to label the armor of Object 640. By appearance the frontal plate armor is covered in K-5, but the turret is more interesting since the reactive armor blocks appear to be bigger than the T-80U and are packed together without any space between them.
I have also read that there is a difference in performance of later generation K-5 than the one first used in the middle 80s. As for the 152mm that is just speculation, the actual prototype uses 125mm, but non the less, in theory therefore in game. I also like the layout of the Black eagle in comparison to the Armata tank. T-14 has all 3 members sitting in one row. They should be spaced out to increase survivability.
Of course it is a prototype and it is probably different than what was intended to be, for all intents and purposes it might not have had its reactive armor blocks filled. It most likely did not carry ammunition with it, when it was driven around and displayed. With tech like this one its mainly speculation, unless of course some one was part of the tank designer bureau and knows the project inside out.
