The T-14 is the first Russian Main Battle Tank accepted and scheduled to enter army service that uses an unmanned turret. Both vehicles were developed by Uralvagonzavod who will also complete production of the new tank. The T-14 development followed the cancellation of the T-95 in 2010 and has taken roughly 5 years. Russian companies had been developing the next generation of Main Battle Tank such as the Black Eagle and T-95 since the 1990’s, but without secured financing for development and orders, these projects have since ceased. It has been in service as a stop gap since the 1990’s and the army has not bought any new T-90 for some years, most recently opting to modernise older T-72 to the T-72B3 standard. The T-90A (the version of the T-90 in Russian service) was an upgraded T-72 Main Battle Tank. The T-14 represents a significant change for the Russian Army, in both a long awaited commitment to spending on new equipment and the much needed replacement of old technology with new, as part of its current program of modernisation. The T-14 Armata (aka Object 148) is a next generation Russian Main Battle Tank officially unveiled to the public and world media during the 2015 (May) Moscow Victory Day Parade.
