…T-14 Armata? "Army and industry weapons developers have begun work on an advanced next-generation Abrams tank specifically engineered with new weapons, ammunition, laser-spotters and advanced thermal sights able to outrange, outgun and outmatch the most modern Russian and Chinese tanks, service and industry officials said. Advanced networking technology with new, next-generation sights, sensors, targeting systems and digital networking – are all key elements of an ongoing upgrade to position the platform to, if needed, successfully engage in combat against rapidly emerging threats, such as the prospect of confronting a Russian T-14 Armata or Chinese 3rd generation Type 99 tank. "Right now we are at parity with near peer competitors, and a sight upgrade will give us operational overmatch," Lt. Col.

Can the T14 take a depleted uranium sabot hit? So far no tank can. Hard to imagine a tank in the 48 to 50 ton range being able to defeat that round. On the other side can the T14's 125mm gun defeat the Abram's armor? Don't know, could be a case of 1st round on target other side loses. |
