Some points to consider before reading the list
- This post has no correlation with the ongoing drama in the community and I have been working on this post for more than a week, before the drama started.
- This is not a suggestion post and so this list does not include any technical details on any of the vehicles mentioned here and I have mostly just copied the description of the vehicle from other sources and pasted here, or wrote a summary of the available info on them myself.
- This list only contains High Tier and Top Tier vehicles but if you’re interested, I can make another one for vehicles in lower tiers as well (Interwar, World War 2, Cold War).
- This list is centered around the current nations in War Thunder and so it contains other nations under some nations like we have in game (For example, India under Great Britain or Thailand under Japan, etc).
- This list also contains 5th generation aircrafts and vehicles in prototype/development stage.
- Many of the vehicles mentioned here have already been suggested on the forum and this post only acts as a list that mentions most of the possible additions to the game and if you are interested to know more about any vehicle mentioned here, search it in the forum and read the in depth posts about that vehicle written by other members.
- This list does not include bombers as balancing them would be hard and they would not be considered High Tier or Top Tier and will probably be placed around Mid Tier to High Tier (I can cover them in the other list I mentioned in the first point).
- Vehicles mentioned here are not going to be added immediately and it may take years to be implemented and not all of them might get added.
- Sorry if there are lots of drop down lists, I tried to make this list as compact as I can so had to use lots of drop down lists.
With those points out of the way, here are some vehicles we can expect to be eventually added (suggest any vehicles you think I missed in the comments):

USA Air
F-15EX Eagle II
An upgraded version of F-15E that can carry 12 AIM-120 missiles or up to 25 smaller munitions with a total weight of 29,500 lb (13,400 kg).
F-15SE Silent Eagle
A modified version of F-15E with stealth characteristics developed to compete with the F-35A to be sold to South Korea but lost the competition and other potential buyers such as Japan, Saudi Arabia and Israel chose other aircrafts and F-15SE was eventually put away.
F-15 STOL/MTD
A variant of F-15B modified to have canards and 3D thrust vectoring nozzles and used to test new features such as ACTIVE (Advanced Control Technology for Integrated Vehicles) and IFCS (Intelligent Flight Control System).
F-16XL
A variant of F-16 developed to compete with F-15E but was defeated. Had 17 pylons and could carry up to 16,000 lb (7,300 kg) of payload and could also carry AIM-120 missiles (as shown in the picture).
F-16CJ/DJ Wild Weasel
Now that ARM missiles are going to be added, might as well add aircrafts specially designed to carry them and perform SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defense) missions such as F-16CJ/DJ which are called Wild Weasels.
EA-18G Growler
A variant of F/A-18F Super Hornet designed to perform electronic warfare and SEAD missions for the Navy similar to Wild Weasels for the Air Force and to achieve this, the gun had to be removed to make more space for electronic warfare systems.
YF-23
A 5th generation aircraft produced to compete with YF-22 (later F-22A Raptor) but was defeated. Some say it had better stealth characteristics compared to YF-22 and YF-22 only won because of a better maneuverability. Could carry 4 AIM-120 and 2 AIM-9.
F-22A Raptor
First 5th generation superiority fighter in the world. Can carry 6 AIM-120C/D and 2 AIM-9M/X.
X-32
Built to compete with X-35 (later F-35 Lightning II) but failed. Could carry 6 AIM-120 and 2 AIM-9.
F-35A Lightning II
F-35A is the version of F-35 in use by US Air Force. Unlike previous fighters, it uses a 25mm gun instead of the 20mm found in other American fighters and can also carry different types of missiles such as AIM-9, AIM-120, AIM-132, AIM-260, AGM-88G, AGM-158.
F-35B Lightning II
This version of F-35 doesn’t have a gun but instead has STOVL (short take-off and vertical landing) ability and contrary to popular belief, it cannot takeoff vertically with a combat load and it must have no loadout with low fuel to perform vertical takeoffs. It is used by Marine Corps and lacks a landing hook and 1/3 of the fuel capacity of F-35A and is limited to only 7g of force.

M1 TTB
Also known as Abrams Block III Tank Test Bed was a prototype of M1 Abrams with an unmanned turret that had the 120mm M256 L/44 cannon and a 44 round carousel type mechanized magazine autoloader.
M1 Thumper and M1 CATTB
These two tanks are not the same and are two different prototypes despite having the same gun and autoloader and both being built on M1A1 hull. They both used the XM291 140mm cannon and XM91 mechanical cassette autoloader.
M1E3
This version of Abrams has an autoloader and so it only has 3 crew members similar to Eastern tanks but the crew sit inside a heavily armored capsule within the hull and the turret has no crew inside.
Abrams X
This is a technology demonstrator and like M1E3, also has an autoloader and 3 man crew which inside the hull and the turret has no crew inside. It also has a remotely controlled 30mm roof mounted gun and many other features.
Griffin I
Griffin I is a light tank based on the Ajax chassis and carried the experimental 120 mm XM360 gun and was developed to enter the Future Combat Systems (FCS) program but the program was cancelled.
M3A4 Bradley
This version of Bradley has a 675 horsepower engine that gives it better mobility. I could unfortunately not find a picture of this version and most of the pictures that are labeled as M3A4 are actually other versions like M2A4.
Lynx XM30
The XM30 Mechanized Infantry Combat Vehicle (MICV), formerly known as the Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle (OMFV) is a program supposed to replace the Bradley. Rheinmetall has proposed a vehicle based on its KF41 Lynx chassis that calls it the Lynx XM30 and has a 50mm cannon paired with an ATGM launcher able to use TOW and Close Combat Missile System - Heavy (CCMS-H).
Wolf XM30
The competitor of Lynx XM30 is Wolf XM30 developed by General Dynamics to compete in the XM30 program. Wolf XM30 is an improved version of Griffin III which was showcased in 2018 but it has been changed a lot since then but I could not find a picture of this prototype in recent years so I posted a picture of Griffin III in 2018 here. Griffin III was equipped with a 50 mm XM913 gun system. It was equipped with the IMI Systems’ Iron Fist Active Protection System (APS) and AeroVironment’s Switchblade loitering munition system.
BAE Systems OMFV
Another proposed vehicle in the XM30 program built by BAE Systems. The name OMFV stands for Optionally Manned Fighting Vehicle which was the name of the program before it was changed to XM30. This vehicle is supposed to have only 2 crew members with an unmanned turret and the overall design of the vehicle looks similar to Bradley IFV.
AS21 Redback
The fourth proposed vehicle in XM30 program proposed by Oshkosh Defense in cooperation with Hanwha Defense in South Korea that built the K21 IFV which the AS21 is based on. It is equipped with a 30 mm Mark 44S Bushmaster II autocannon (The original K21 is equipped with a K40 40×365mmR autocannon instead) and 2 Spike LR missiles.

Leopard 2-140
An experimental version of Leopard 2 equipped with a 140mm cannon and a 32 round autoloader with the ammo being stored in the back of the turret and reducing the crew count from 4 to 3.
Leopard 2A7+
Leopard 2A7+ was first shown to the public during the Eurosatory 2010, featuring the label “Developed by KMW – tested and qualified by the German Ministry of Defence”. The Leopard 2A7+ has been tested by the Bundeswehr under the name UrbOp (urban operations).
The tank’s protection has been increased by modular armor. The frontal protection has been improved with a dual kit on the turret and hull front and the turret-mounted MG3 has been replaced with a stabilised FLW 200 remotely controlled weapon station. Hungarian Leopard 2A7HU is of this version.
Leopard 2A8
Leopard 2A8 has many improvements over previous versions such as Trophy APS, improved engine, better roof armor, more sensors to name a few.
German Ministry of Defence begun planning a purchase a batch of eighteen Leopard 2A8 tanks (with the option for a further 105) in May 2023. In July 2024, Germany’s budget committee approved a purchase of the remaining 105 tanks, in a contract worth 2.93 billion €. Deliveries are planned between 2027 and 2030.
Panther KF51
Panther KF51 is based on the hull of the Leopard 2A4, but with a new turret mounting an autoloaded 130mm main gun and 3 crew members, commander, gunner, and driver. Commander and gunner are still placed in the turret.
Panther KF51-U
In June 2024, Rheinmetall presented the KF51-U at the Eurosatory defence fair. It uses a modified version of the original Panther demonstrator hull fitted with the Concept Unmanned Turret (CUT). Its three men crew sit in the hull just in front of the turret. The KF51-U retains the 130 mm smoothbore gun and 20 round autoloader from two magazines, but can carry a further 5 spare rounds in the turret. As secondary armament, the KF51-U has a coaxial 12.7 mm heavy machine gun and a 7.62 mm RMG as Main Sensor Slaved Armament (MSSA). The main gun has a maximum depression of −9° and a maximum elevation of +20°. In addition to the StrikeShield system mounted on the hull, the KF51-U is also fitted with the Iron Fist and MUSS 2.0 active protection systems. Additionally, the ROSY_VL system is installed on top of the turret for protection against top-attack missiles and drones.
Leopard 2 A-RC 3.0
Variant presented in June 2024 at the Eurosatory exhibition. It is equipped with an unmanned turret armed with a 120 mm smoothbore gun fed by a modular linear autoloader, the 120 mm gun can be exchanged for a 130 mm or 140 mm gun, the auto loader is capable of loading 3 rounds in 10 seconds. Its secondary armament consists of a RWCS armed with a 30x113mm cannon capable of countering drone threats and an anti-tank missile. The weapon suite can be configured for 3D line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) engagement. For its protection, it has a proven active protection system and smoke grenade launcher. It weighs less than 60 t (59 long tons; 66 short tons), measures 7.95 m (26.1 ft), extending to 11.17 m (36.6 ft) with the barrel, 3.77 m (12.4 ft) wide and 2.44 m (8 ft 0 in) high to the roof of the turret. Its engine generates 1,500 hp (1,100 kW), allowing the tank to move at a speed of 65 km/h (40 mph) and its autonomy is 460 km (290 mi). It has a crew of 3 men, commander, driver and gunner, all located inside the chassis.
European Main Battle Tank (2018 EMBT)
A first technology demonstrator known as EMBT or European Main Battle Tank was presented in 2018, combining a Leopard 2A7 hull with a Leclerc turret using a special turret ring adapter. It was sometimes nicknamed Leo-Clerc. Compared to the Leopard 2 turret, the Leclerc turret is operated by only 2 crew members instead of 3 thanks to the autoloader. Since the Leclerc’s turret is therefore lighter compared to the one of the manually loaded Leopard 2A7, the EMBT is lighter and has a greater growth potential of around 6 tonnes (5.9 long tons; 6.6 short tons).
Enhanced Main Battle Tank (2022 EMBT)
At Eurosatory 2022, a second technology demonstrator was presented as Enhanced Main Battle Tank, featuring a modified hull and a new turret fitted with the 120-millimeter CN120-26 L/52 main gun. The hull of the EMBT is based on the Leopard 2A7’s, but modified in a few key areas: the power pack is replaced with the EuroPowerPack, consisting of the MTU MT883 engine and Renk HSWL 295TM transmission. As the EuroPowerPack is smaller in size, this allows moving back the turret ring by about 0.2 metres. This enabled KNDS’ engineers to lengthen the glacis plate, making enough space for a fourth crew member (sitting in the same location where the hull ammo rack is in the Leopard 2). The fourth crew member can operate the remote weapon station or drones. The turret of the EMBT is completely new and has a reduced profile with an 80 millimetres (3.1 in) lower roof height than the Leclerc. The EMBT’s main armament is the 120 mm CN120-26 L/52 gun from the Leclerc, but its architecture is designed to be compatible with the ASCALON gun system under development by KNDS France. It is loaded by a 22-round conveyor-belt type autoloader located in the turret bustle. Secondary armament consists of a co-axial 12.7 mm machine gun with 680 rounds, a 30 mm x 113 mm ARX30 remote controlled weapon station with 150 rounds and a 7.62 mm machine gun with 800 rounds, which is attached to the commander’s sight. The EMBT uses vectronics derived from the EBRC Jaguar and is fitted with the Trophy-MV hardkill active protection system for protection against ATGMs and rocket-propelled grenades. The EMBT’s turret was designed with the system in mind from the onset, hence the sensors are directly embedded into the turret structure. Additionally, the EMBT is fitted with the ELAWS laser warning system from Elbit Systems.
EMBT ADT140
At Eurosatory 2024, a new configuration of the Enhanced Main Battle Tank was presented as EMBT ADT140, featuring a mock-up Ascalon Demonstrator Turret (ADT140) with autoloaded 140-millimeter Ascalon main gun, a coaxial 20 × 102 mm autocannon and the ARX30 remote controlled weapon station. The hull of the earlier EMBT demonstrator was reused, while its turret was mounted on a modified Leclerc hull, creating the Leclerc Evolution. The EMBT ADT140 features six anti drone radars, four laser and missile warning sensors, an acoustic gunshot detection system and provides 360-degree coverage of the surroundings for enhanced situational awareness. It was also fitted with a mock-up of the Prometheus active protection system and features an AI enabled “SAFE” fire control system, an internally developed solution designed to assist the autonomous selection and queuing of weapon systems on board the platform to successfully prosecute targets in order of priority.
Boxer Skyranger 30
The German Army ordered 19 systems on GTK Boxer vehicles for €595 million in February 2024 and 30 more are planned. The variant of the German Army will carry 9 SADM missiles.
RCH 155
The RCH 155 is the world’s first howitzer that can fire while in motion. This is mainly to avoid enemy counter-artillery fire, as modern counter-battery radars such as COBRA can be used to reconnoitre fire positions after firing in near real-time. Its traverse and firing controls allow firing the gun at targets in the vicinity, such as an enemy tank, in a direct-fire, rather than indirect artillery mode.
Framework agreement approved by the German Budget Office for up to 500 RCH-155 in December 2025.
Panzerhaubitze 2000 A5
In 2021, Germany and the Netherlands agreed to jointly define & execute a Mid-Life Update to the operational Pzh2000 in their inventories and ensure standardisation and availability. The MLU variant is the PzH 2000 A5, it is designed for all customers, with core common elements, and optional elements, it is expected to be ready by 2028. Upgrades include the options below and other upgrades done in previous versions:
- Transition to a fully electronic / digital architecture, with a semi-open architecture (standardised electronic interfaces) of the weapon system.
- Ammunition auto loader improvements.
- Gun laying system improvements.
- Two-slip ring solution for the turret (to cope with the ammunition handling system).
Wiesel 1 MELLS
This variant of Wiesel is equipped with Spike fire and forget missiles instead of TOW missiles.
Wiesel 1 ATM HOT
This variant of Wiesel 1 could carry different weapon configurations consisting of HOT launchers, Mk 20 Rh202, RMK 30.
Marder 1A5A1
This version of Marder 1 carries the MELLS launcher which fires the Spike fire and forget missile. It is similar to Puma VJTF but with weaker armor and gun but a higher fire rate.

Su-27M/Su-35
Su-27M was the original Su-35 and was later renamed to Su-35. It was powered by a pair of AL-31FM engines. It could be considered to be somewhat between Su-27SM and Su-30SM in War Thunder.
Su-37 Terminator
It was a technology demonstrator based on the eleventh Su-27M (T10M-11) and only one prototype built. It was powered by a pair of AL-37FU engines specifically designed for Su-37 and N011M radar. It had 12 hardpoints and could carry up to 8,000 kg (17,630 lb) of ordnance.
Su-47 Berkut
A technology demonstrator built by Sukhoi that had forward swept wings giving it better maneuverability in low speeds. Supposedly, it had 14 hardpoints and could carry different types of missiles and a 30 mm GSh-30-1 cannon could be installed on it.
Su-35S/Su-35BM Flanker-M
Su-35BM was a major redesign of Su-27M/Su-35. The canards and dorsal airbrakes were removed, new N035 Irbis-E radar was added, the cockpit was redesigned and the engines were upgraded to AL-41F-1S amongst other modifications to the plane and was designated Su-35BM an it received the designation Su-35S in the Russian Aerospace Forces.
Su-35SM
This is supposed to be an upgrade for the current Su-35S that was announced pretty recently based on the experience gained during the Russian Ukrainian war. This upgrade aims to enhance the electronic warfare capabilities of Su-35S and adds the N036 Byelka AESA radar for more range and better detection, Himalaya electronic warfare suite for protection against radar guided threats and a DIRCM system to counter the infrared missiles. Unfortunately due to how recent the upgrade is, I could not find any pictures of any Su-35SM.
Su-34M
Upgraded version of Su-34 also known known as Su-34 Sych (Russian for Athene). The Russian contract was signed in 2020 and replaced basic Su-34 in production. This upgrade seriously affects almost all of the aircraft’s avionics. The radar, sight, and communication systems improved. The range of guided munitions that the bomber can use significantly expanded. EW capabilities also expanded with introduction of new hardpoints. The version was reportedly armed with long range cruise missiles in September 2023. An armed reconnaissance version entered service in July 2025.
MiG-25PDS Foxbat-E
After the introduction of MiG-25PD (Izdeliye 84D) which we have in game as an event vehicle, a program was launched to upgrade the existing MiG-25P aircrafts to MiG-25PD specifications and the upgraded MiG-25P aircrafts were designated MiG-25PDS. In this upgrade, the RP-25 Smerch-A radar of MiG-25P was replaced with S-25 Sapphire-25 radar and the its R-15B-300 engines were also replaced with R-15BD-300 engines. The upgraded MiG-25PDS were able to fire R-40RD and R-40RT and R-60/R-60M missiles. This variant of MiG-25 can be a tech tree replacement for the event MiG-25PD.
MiG-25RBSh (Izdeliye 02Sh) Foxbat-D
A single seat reconnaissance bomber version of MiG-25RB (which itself is a reconnaissance bomber derivative of MiG-25R (which is high altitude daylight reconnaissance aircraft version of MiG-25)) with the Shompol side looking radar for all weather radio reconnaissance of the ground targets in poor visibility conditions (night time and clouds) featuring enhanced resolution at low and high altitudes and “moving-target-selection-within-the-swath” mode. This variant could carry bombs as well.
MiG-25BM (Izdeliye 02M)
A special variant of MiG-25 designed for SEAD (Suppression of Enemy Air Defenses) missions able to carry Kh-31 and Kh-58 missiles.
MiG-31 (Izdeliye 01)
First variant of MiG-31 that entered mass production. MiG-31 was built to be an upgrade over MiG-25 and replace it. It was equipped with a 23 mm GSh-6-23 gun with 260 rounds and could carry different types of missiles.
MiG-31B (Izdeliye 01B)
Second production batch with upgraded avionics and in-flight refueling probe introduced in 1990. Its development was the result of the Soviet discovery that Phazotron radar division engineer Adolf Tolkachev had sold information on advanced radars to the West. A new version of the compromised radar was hastily developed. MiG-31B also have the improved ECM and EW equipment with integration of improved R-33S missiles.
MiG-31BM
A modernized version of MiG-31B with increased detection range to 320 km (200 mi) and the ability to track 10 targets automatically and simultaneously engage up to eight targets. The on-board Argon-K is replaced with the new Baget 55-06 computer that selects four targets of the highest priority, which simultaneously are engaged by long-range R-33S and R-37M and medium range R-77-1 air-to-air missiles. The MiG-31BM has a multi-role capability, and is capable of using anti-radar, air-to-ship and air-to-ground missiles. Some of its avionics are unified with the MiG-29SMT. It also has a refueling probe.
MiG-29KR Fulcrum-D
MiG-29K is a carrier based multirole fighter developed from MiG-29M and is used by two countries, Russia and India. MiG-29K in Russian Navy gets the designation MiG-29KR. It is equipped with N010M Zhuk-M radar also found on MiG-29SMT but it has better engines compared to MiG-29SMT. MiG-29SMT is powered by two RD-33 series 3 engines while MiG-29KR uses the RD-33MK “Morskaya Osa” (Russian: Морская Оса: “Sea Wasp”) engines which were developed in 2001 and can produce up to 9,000 kilograms force (88,000 N; 20,000 lbf) while using afterburner.
MiG-35S/MiG-35UB Fulcrum-F
MiG-35 is essentially an upgraded variant of the MiG-29KR. The single seat variant is designated MiG-35S and the double seat variant is MiG-35UB. It is equipped with N010M Zhuk-M radar but it is stated that the export variants (single seat MiG-35 and double seat MiG-35D) will have AESA radars (Zhuk-AE/Zhuk-AME).
MiG Project 1.44/1.42
It was a technology demonstrator but was cancelled and PAK FA program was instead chosen which resulted in Su-57. MiG 1.44 was just the demonstrator prototype and MiG 1.42 was the production version and there were other version as well such as MiG 1.42K which was the naval variant with folding wings, arrestor hook, strengthened landing gear and enhanced corrosion protection, MiG 1.42R which was the reconnaissance variant with reconnaissance equipment in the weapons bay and a double seat version to be a trainer. MiG 1.44/MiG 1.42 was equipped with a 30 mm GSh-30-1 gun with 250 rounds and had 12 hardpoints. It was powered by two AL-41F engines and N014 PESA radar.
Su-57 Felon
First Russian mass produced 5th gen fighter (I don’t care that it is less stealth or you think that it is a 4.5th gen fighter, I’m just writing the things I find).

Ka-52K Katran
Ka-52K “Katran” (Russian: Катран, ‘mud shark’), a navalised derivative of the Ka-52. Its features include folding rotor blades, folding wings, and reinforced landing gear. Since its wings are shorter than those of the land-based variants, the Ka-52K only has four weapons pylons, instead of six on the land-based Ka-52. There are plans to install a new radar in the Ka-52K, with longer range compared to the Ka-52’s radar. The Ka-52K will also be able to use Kh-35 and Kh-38 missiles. However, they haven’t yet been integrated in the helicopter’s mission suite.
Ka-52M
An upgraded version of Ka-52. Upgrades include a modernized GOES-451M electro-optical targeting turret with an increased range, stronger undercarriage wheels, and improved cockpit ergonomics, with better adaptation to the use of night-vision goggles. The LMUR missile is added to the helicopter’s armament options. Several new radar types are being considered for the Ka-52M. A new self-protection system will also be fitted to the Ka-52M, replacing the current L370-5 Vitebsk. Lastly, the Ka-52M is adapted to work within a new battlefield command and control system.

T-90M2 Ryvok-1
This is the upgraded version of T-90M based on the experience gained in Russian Ukrainian war. It has a better reverse speed and Arena-M APS and other upgrades applied. Unfortunately, I could not find a picture of this tank similar to M3A4 Bradely and Su-35SM.
Kurganets-25 with the Bumerang-BM turret
Kurganets-25 is a Russian tracked amphibious IFV planned to evolve into various models, gradually replacing BMP, BMD, MT-LB and other types of tracked Soviet armored platforms. The Kurganets-25 is based on the Armata Universal Combat Platform while being lighter than the T-15 Armata. This version of Kurganets-25 is equipped with the Bumerang-BM remote controlled turret that has the 30 mm 2A42 gun and 9M133 Kornet-EM ATGM launchers and 7.62 mm PKT coaxial machine gun.
Kurganets-25 with the Epokha (Epoch) turret
This is another variant of Kurganets-25 equipped with the 57 mm low velocity LShO-57 gun, 4 9M133 Kornet-EM and 8 9M134 Bulat on top of the turret.
Kurganets-25 with the AU-220M Baikal turret
Many sources claim that Kurganets-25 can be equipped with the unmanned AU-220M Baikal turret that has a high velocity 57 mm cannon similar to 2S38 but I could not find a picture of any Kurganets-25 with this turret.
VPK-7829 Bumerang/Boomerang with the Bumerang-BM turret
This is a wheeled amphibious IFV equipped with a 30 mm 2A42 gun and 8 9M133 Kornet-EM ATGMs and 7.62 mm PKT coaxial machine gun. It is built to replace the BTR-80 and BTR-82 vehicles.
VPK-7829 Bumerang/Boomerang with the AU-220M Baikal turret
Many sources claim that VPK-7829 Bumerang can be equipped with the unmanned AU-220M Baikal turret similar to Kurganets-25 but yet again there’s no picture of a VPK-7829 Bumerang equipped with this turret.
2S31 Vena
This vehicle is a tracked amphibious self propelled 120 mm gun-mortar system based on the chassis of BMP-3 and equipped with the 2A80 rifled gun mortar with the ability of direct fire that can fire high explosive and HEAT rounds with a penetration of up to 650 mm.
2S35 Koalitsiya-SV with the T-90 chassis
2S35 Koalitsiya-SV is a self propelled gun based on the T-90 chassis and equipped with the 2A88 152 mm gun. The turret can be remotely controlled and it can fire up to 16 rounds per minute thanks to the new pneumatic loader. The 2S35 will feature a modular ammunition charge system, which allows changing the amount of propellant used in firing of each individual shell.
2S35 Koalitsiya-SV double barrel
A prototype of 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV with two barrels which was cancelled and the single barrel version has been chosen instead.
2S35 Koalitsiya-SV with the Armata chassis
Many sources claim that a number of 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV have been built on Armata chassis but I could not find any photo of a 2S35 Koalitsiya-SV built on Armata chassis and instead they were all T-90 chassis. But why write it separately from the T-90 chassis one if I am not sure of its existence? because being able to have a 152 mm high explosive launcher with a reload rate of 3.75 seconds that can reverse at around 80 km/h and quickly go back to cover makes all the differences in the world.
T-15 Armata with the Bumerang-BM turret
T-15 Armata is a tracked heavy infantry fighting vehicle based on the Armata chassis. This variant is equipped with the Bumerang-BM turret that has a 30 mm 2A42 gun and 9M133 Kornet-EM launchers. This vehicle is also equipped with the Afganit APS.
T-15 Armata with the AU-220M Baikal turret

This variant of T-15 Armata is equipped with the DUBM-57 Kinzhal turret that also has the 57 mm BM-57 gun and 9M120-1 Ataka missiles.
BMPT Terminator 3
This variant of BMPT Terminator will be based on the Armata chassis and could also be equipped with a 57 mm gun instead of the two 30 mm guns it currently has. It has not been produced yet and so there are no pictures of it available.
BTR-T
This was a heavy infantry fighting vehicle based on the T-55 chassis built in the 1990s. It could have different weapon configurations with 30 mm 2A42 guns, 9M113 Konkurs missiles, AGS-30 grenade launcher, 30 mm 2A38 guns and 12.7 mm NSV machine guns.
T-14 Armata
A main battle tank built in 2010s that has an unmanned turret with 3 crew sitting in an armored capsule in the front of the hull that also has a toilet for them in there (super important information btw). This tank is equipped with a 125 mm gun but it is said that a 152 mm gun can be installed on this tank in the future.
Object 195/T-95
This prototype that was being developed from 1988 to 2010 had an unmanned turret equipped with a 152 mm 2A83 gun and a 30 mm 2A42 gun for softer targets. The crew sat within an armored capsule placed in the front of the hull. This prototype was unfortunately cancelled in 2010 but the experience gained from it was used to develop Object 148 which became the T-14 Armata.
Object 640 Black Eagle
Two prototypes of this tank were built, one in 1997 and the other in 1999 and they were based on the T-80U tank. This tank had an elongated hull with seven pairs of road wheels instead of the T-80’s six, and a turret still mostly obscured by camouflage netting. Later footage and photographs revealed it without the netting, where gunner sight on the right, commander’s panoramic sight on the left, and Arena APS launchers have become clearly visible. On each side of the turret, there were three forward-facing and four side-facing APS charges, turning it up to fourteen charges in total. The tank had a new turret. It appeared to have had very thick turret front armour and new-generation multi-layered Kaktus (Russian: Кактус, “cactus”) ERA on it. Two additional Kontakt-5 ERA modules were mounted on each side of the hull, to the existing three on each side.
Object 477A Molot
It was a tank built to carry the 152 mm 2A73 gun and had an unmanned turret and the crew sat within the hull. The project began in 1981 but couldn’t be completed before the collapse of USSR but it was resumed in Ukraine after the collapse of USSR however it never moved past the prototype stage.
Object 299
Another 152 mm tank concept but some sources say that it was not completed and only the hull was built but the weapon was not mounted on it similar to E-100. It was supposed to have an unmanned turret with the engine being placed in the front of the hull and the crew sat behind the engine within the hull.
Object 490 Poplar
A prototype made in 1980s which was supposed to be the next main battle tank of USSR but had many changes applied to it during its lifetime and many versions were made. This tank usually gets mistaken for Object 490B which I will not include in this list because I’m not sure if it will be considered a high tier tank due to its unconventional design but I will include it in my lower tiers list.
Object 490A Rebel
A version of Object 490 that had the cannon outside the turret giving it a lower profile, kind of similar to HSTV-L and RDF/LT.
Object 785
This was an improved variant of T-80B that had a 7th road wheel added and was armed with the 125 mm 2A82 smoothbore gun, carrying 50 rounds of ammunition, 30 of which in the loading mechanism. It was also testing a 130 mm rifled gun, an improved variant of the M-65 gun used on tanks like the Object 279.
Object 187
This tank was developed in parallel with Object 188 which later became the T-90 aiming to replace the T-72B. This tank was superior to Object 188 but it eventually was cancelled after the collapse of USSR when the newly established Russian Federation lacked the budget to continue its development and chose the cheaper T-90 tank to be mass produced. There were 6 prototypes built in 3 different phases and sb5 and sb6 are the most advanced prototypes equipped with better engine and many other upgrades over the previous prototypes and over Object 188.

Minerva class
The Minerva class is a series of corvettes of the Italian Navy. They were built in two batches of four units during the 1980s and 1990s. The ships have fairly good speed and armament, including a 76 mm general-purpose gun, but, due to their emphasis on anti-submarine warfare, they lack anti-ship missile capabilities.
Sirio class
The Sirio class of patrol vessels consists of two units operated by the Italian Navy named Costellazioni II series or Nuove Unità di Pattugliamento d’Altura (NUPA). These vessels were financed by the Italian Department of Transport and Navigation, under law 413/1998, for maritime economic zone surveillance, antipollution, and rescue operations.
Bergamini class
The Bergamini class was a class of four frigates operated by the Italian Navy. They entered service in 1961, with the last one being stricken in 1988.
Alpino class
The Alpino class were a group of two frigates built for the Italian Navy during the Cold War. The design was originally conceived as an enlarged version of the Canopo class frigates. The design was however changed radically with a CODAG machinery suite comprising gas turbines and diesels. These ships introduced the use of ship-based helicopters and variable depth sonar into the Italian Navy.
Lupo class
The Lupo class is a class of frigates built by Cantieri Navali Riuniti (CNR) for the Italian Navy. Designed as multipurpose warships with an emphasis on anti-surface warfare (ASuW), they have enjoyed some success in the export market, being acquired by the navies of Peru and Venezuela. A small run of a slightly updated version is known as the Soldati class.

Leclerc XLR
It is a modernization of the third-generation Leclerc tank with the addition of a turret-mounted remotely-operated 7.62mm caliber machine gun manufactured by Belgian company FN Herstal, additional modular armour on the turret and hull, and rear wire cage armour to protect the engine compartment against rocket propelled grenades.
Leclerc Evolution
The tank is equipped with a turret armed with the ASCALON (Autoloaded and SCALable Outperforming guN) gun, capable of firing 120 or 140 mm shells, an ARX30 turret, a PASEO sight coupled with a 7.62 mm machine gun, a “Trophy” active protection system and the ability to use remotely operated ammunition.
European Main Battle Tank (2018 EMBT)
A first technology demonstrator known as EMBT or European Main Battle Tank was presented in 2018, combining a Leopard 2A7 hull with a Leclerc turret using a special turret ring adapter. It was sometimes nicknamed Leo-Clerc. Compared to the Leopard 2 turret, the Leclerc turret is operated by only 2 crew members instead of 3 thanks to the autoloader. Since the Leclerc’s turret is therefore lighter compared to the one of the manually loaded Leopard 2A7, the EMBT is lighter and has a greater growth potential of around 6 tonnes (5.9 long tons; 6.6 short tons).
Enhanced Main Battle Tank (2022 EMBT)
At Eurosatory 2022, a second technology demonstrator was presented as Enhanced Main Battle Tank, featuring a modified hull and a new turret fitted with the 120-millimeter CN120-26 L/52 main gun. The hull of the EMBT is based on the Leopard 2A7’s, but modified in a few key areas: the power pack is replaced with the EuroPowerPack, consisting of the MTU MT883 engine and Renk HSWL 295TM transmission. As the EuroPowerPack is smaller in size, this allows moving back the turret ring by about 0.2 metres. This enabled KNDS’ engineers to lengthen the glacis plate, making enough space for a fourth crew member (sitting in the same location where the hull ammo rack is in the Leopard 2). The fourth crew member can operate the remote weapon station or drones. The turret of the EMBT is completely new and has a reduced profile with an 80 millimetres (3.1 in) lower roof height than the Leclerc. The EMBT’s main armament is the 120 mm CN120-26 L/52 gun from the Leclerc, but its architecture is designed to be compatible with the ASCALON gun system under development by KNDS France. It is loaded by a 22-round conveyor-belt type autoloader located in the turret bustle. Secondary armament consists of a co-axial 12.7 mm machine gun with 680 rounds, a 30 mm x 113 mm ARX30 remote controlled weapon station with 150 rounds and a 7.62 mm machine gun with 800 rounds, which is attached to the commander’s sight. The EMBT uses vectronics derived from the EBRC Jaguar and is fitted with the Trophy-MV hardkill active protection system for protection against ATGMs and rocket-propelled grenades. The EMBT’s turret was designed with the system in mind from the onset, hence the sensors are directly embedded into the turret structure. Additionally, the EMBT is fitted with the ELAWS laser warning system from Elbit Systems.
EMBT ADT140
At Eurosatory 2024, a new configuration of the Enhanced Main Battle Tank was presented as EMBT ADT140, featuring a mock-up Ascalon Demonstrator Turret (ADT140) with autoloaded 140-millimeter Ascalon main gun, a coaxial 20 × 102 mm autocannon and the ARX30 remote controlled weapon station. The hull of the earlier EMBT demonstrator was reused, while its turret was mounted on a modified Leclerc hull, creating the Leclerc Evolution. The EMBT ADT140 features six anti drone radars, four laser and missile warning sensors, an acoustic gunshot detection system and provides 360-degree coverage of the surroundings for enhanced situational awareness. It was also fitted with a mock-up of the Prometheus active protection system and features an AI enabled “SAFE” fire control system, an internally developed solution designed to assist the autonomous selection and queuing of weapon systems on board the platform to successfully prosecute targets in order of priority.

Le Normand class
The Le Normand class (or E52 Type) was a class of 14 fast frigates (Escorteurs Rapide) built for the French Navy in the late 1950s. They were an immediate follow-on from the earlier Le Corse-class (or E50 type) frigates, and like them, were long-range convoy escorts capable of high speed.
Commandant Rivière class
The Commandant Rivière class was a class of frigates built for the French Navy in the late 1950s and early 1960s. Labeled “aviso-escorteur” (fr: “sloop-escort”), they were designed to perform the role of overseas patrol in peacetime and anti-submarine escort in wartime. This vessel class is named after the French Navy officer Henri Rivière (1827–1883).
Spoiler
The D’Estienne d’Orves-class avisos, or type A69, is a class of French Navy avisos, comparable in size to a light corvette, mainly designed for coastal anti-submarine defence, but are also available for high sea escort missions, notably in support missions with the Strategic Oceanic Force (FOST).
