10. T-14 Armata - Russia's Future Forward

The T-14 Armata deviates greatly from conventional tank design. Its isolated crew compartment in the hull front and unmanned turret signify a breakthrough method of crew safety. Unlike earlier Russian designs, the tank has a new 125mm 2A82-1M smoothbore cannon with enhanced accuracy and penetration. Reactive armour and advanced active protection systems offer multilayered defence against many kinds of threats. Among the sophisticated electronics of the Armata are panoramic commander's sight, computerised fire control system, and enhanced battlefield networking capability. Although manufacturing quantities are still low, the creative ideas of the T-14 will probably shape next tank projects all around.
