However, the tank is however expensive to build and maintain compared to the T-90 and T-72B3 MBT types and requires significant crew training compared with other tank types. The T-14 is technically sophisticated, with a fully automated turret devoid of a crew as one of many new design features. After years of making do with updating Soviet-era tanks, the T-14 ‘Armata’ is the first genuinely new post-Soviet Russian design. The T-14 ‘Armata’ appearance was for Western observers as much a revelation as the IS-3 heavy tank that made a shock appearance in the Victory Parade in Berlin in September 1945. The T-14 ‘Armata’ Main Battle Tank (MBT) made its public debut in May 2015, during renewed tensions between Russia, the United States, and its NATO allies. The perfect companion if you are building Takom or Zvezda kits! Packed with 150 full-colour photos over 80 landscape pages, this is a must-have reference for modern armour modellers and covers the T-14’s design and development and features full walk-around photographic coverage. In T-14 Armata Main Battle, Russian armour guru James Kinnear looks at Russia’s revolutionary new T-14 tank. ![]()
