Probably, however it depends on different parameters, they’re not all the same. The charges on the Armata are also quite large for what it is so it wouldn’t surprise me if it had good effectiveness.
at that point we come back to how gajin only believes that russia is able to design era that is effective against apfsds. And dont realy wanna start that discussion today anymore
Most likely they are big EFPs. We have patents for an APFSDS based on such a layout and claimed to be effective vs APFSDS.
2 quick questions:
1: is there any visual proof of it being able to go 85kmph in reverse?
2: If my memory serves me well, the Abrams is capable of 72kmph but can go even faster theoretically, however the tracks can’t withstand that speed. I’m wondering if it is only capable of this speed due to its weights? Dunno how much you know about this but maybe somewhere here does.
75 being the official number makes a lot more sense, thanks for showing!

They put a regulator on the reverse so crews would not crash and damage the tank.
Okay imma be real
I unironically do not trust the russians on this

Whats so unbelievable about it?
You see american vehicle weighting 54,4 tons going max 72 km/h (a cap) is fine but 55 or so tons vehicle going 75 km/h (probably a cap) with same engine horsepower is not.

Armata weight estimates range between 48 and 55 tons. The speed of 75 km/h is based on a weight of approximately 52 tons.
Ultimately, Armata’s speed will vary depending on what weight the developers accept as an estimate, between 48 and 55 tons. The closer it is to 48 tons, the faster it is, and conversely, the closer it is to 55 tons, the slower it is.

Perfect, hopefully this means a tank that can actually reverse can be added.
Yes it gonna play completly different than all other soviet style tanks. I can´t imagine if its going to be broken or not.
nice CGs. Is it made by Uralvagonzavod? Want to see source for it.
As far as I know these aren´t CGs and were first published by Andrei Tarasenko, who is usually one of the authoritative guys regarding the soviet/post soviet tank stuff. However as usual he didn´t clarify where he got the pics from, just put his own watermark on them.

doesn’t diminish the video
He has a point, the video doesn’t really say much.

I mean I’m just hoping Gaijin doesn’t make it invincible when they add the tank >_>
