Russia has unveiled a new-generation battle tank called Armata T-14 ahead of World War Two Victory Day celebrations on 9 May.

[h=2]'Fully robotic'[/h]The Armata tank has an unmanned turret and a 125mm smooth-bore cannon that can fire guided missiles as well as shells.
The two-man crew has better protection than in existing Russian tanks. They will be housed in a reinforced chamber, away from the main gun, Russian media report.


Zvezda TV, a Russian defence ministry channel, says the tank's chassis is adaptable as a platform for other weapons systems.
And Russia's RT news says the Armata could "evolve into a fully robotic battle vehicle".
Its computer technology, speed and manoeuvrability are said to be far superior to those of the T-90, the current mainstay of the Russian army.
Russia plans to bring in about 2,300 Armatas, starting in 2020, to replace Soviet-era tanks.

Question for US military men out there- what is your opinion on this?

Do you think that next generation warfare will present a need for hulking MBT's?

Is the US designing/making anything comparable?

to be honest, what's coming down the pike the next 2 years, is almost beyond belief..... and
it
will
take amazing grace , either to live (right with God by grace in Jesus) while it's going on, or to die at peace with God.....

one day at a time, whatever comes to pass, trust God by grace through faith in Jesus....

A fully robotic tank? What happens when the robotics fail? Well, I suppose it doesn't much matter when a cheap military drone with a ranged missile can zero it out of existence by an operator enjoying a cup of java far away.
