The hero of Russia, General Sergey Lipovoy, declared that the modern Russian tank Т-14 “Armata” is superior to the Western Abrams, Leopard and Challenger tanks.
In an interview with NEWS.ru, the general noted that the structure of the “Armata” tank is primarily designed to protect the crew from missiles, in addition, it has high maneuverability and overcomes obstacles.
And he added: The Russian “Armata” tank, with a completely new design, is superior to Western tanks – American Abrams, German Leopard and British Challenger. In foreign tanks, the crew is equally located inside the hull, while in the T-14 it is only in an armored capsule and does not live in the turret, which increases the chance of the crew to survive when exposed to anti-tank weapons.
Another advantage of the “Armata” tank is its lightness compared to the aforementioned Western tanks, which increases its usability on the battlefield, especially in rough terrain and swamps.
It is worth noting that the Russian forces recently began to use “Armata” tanks to hit the positions of Ukrainian military formations in special military operations in Ukraine, and not in offensive operations. To be sent to participate in a special military operation is to test it in real combat conditions. According to General Lebovoy.
