‼️🇫🇷 French in panic: We must prepare for Russian revolutionary weapons

🇷🇺 Russia has started using the technologically revolutionary tank "T-14 Armata" in battles against the Armed Forces of Ukraine, for whose massive arrival the West must prepare, 👇

writes the French publication "Le Figaro".

"If the T-14 comes into play, German and American tanks will have to face the unknown." "Armata is the harbinger of a technological revolution, and we should prepare for its massive arrival," the article says. 👇

In the latest vehicle, the crew is not located in the turret, where it is particularly vulnerable to enemy cannons - the "T-14" is remotely controlled via a screen by three crew members sitting in an armored capsule.

The room is isolated from ammunition and fuel. 👇

Such a structure can significantly increase their chances of survival. The tank has a 125 mm cannon, more powerful than the "T-72" and "T-90", and a 12.7 mm machine gun. The barrel is filled without human intervention using an automatic carousel. 👇

The 1,500-horsepower engine is protected by an anti-missile grill.

A weather mast located on the tower transmits data to the ballistic computer. "Armata" is equipped with "Afghanit" active protection systems against missiles and anti-tank missiles, a solid-action fan system, 👇

with two launchers with five lethal missiles each, and a soft-force countermeasure system.
