Russian Military News, Reports, Data, etc.

Well, don't expect official communique from Russian Ministry of Defense :D These are just bloggers, journalists and enthusiasts like us .

all right, what I meant was that it would've been helpful to me if you had provided a link (it could be to a page on some Military Forum), as sometimes it's possible to say if the text was written by somebody who cares about facts (then I might decide to read it), or by a dreamer :)

The Russians rushed these prototype tanks in to limited production just to show off.

Did any one really expect them to be battle ready? Its great tech but it takes years to work the bugs out of a system.

What we see in T14 is at best what the Russians might have in there front lines in 2018 but right now it should have stayed in the proving grounds and arms fairs not rolling over red square for propaganda.

Tank "Armata": problems with the technique no!


Stop the tank "Armata" in red square provoked a strong reaction from the public. Immediately there were many detractors, ready to pour new Russian developments with mud. Meanwhile, this case is more of a psychological, from the category of what is called "General effect", and the technique has no relation, except that will force designers to improve "protection against the fool".
"Uralvagonzavod", having shipped tanks MO, and after a rapid training of crews, suggested, not to use as drivers of conscripts. Offered to replace them with experienced factory by test drivers. The latter is not only perfectly know their cars, but being a test psychologically prepared to cope with any emergency situations. The cause of the incident today was just not the ability of a soldier to overcome psychological stress and cope with panic.
Preparation time to the management of such a new and complex machine was given very little. Despite the fact that much of the "Armata" is automated, and thus would be simplified, it is still addictive and requires practicing the skills. Driving in the columns. Because the machine has a excessive specific power, giving her the crazy dynamics. Brandon told me a little... and took the lead, braked – pecked nose - behind. Actually what happened is a small press accelerator n – tank jerked forward, then the sharp brake – he stood up and stalled. Moreover, on one of the videos, it is noticeable that the same jerk was not walking in front of the tank, not from what's next (see below for 10:49).

To stand in the middle of red square, in front of the Minister and the multitude of camera views... and how would You, if this driver, feel? The guy panicked, and began to grasp and to put pressure on everything within reach – lights, wipers, air conditioner... as a result, he did not notice how I put the tank on mountain brake. That is why I could not pull off from the place of "Armata" coming up "tow" - BRAM-1. The video is perfectly visible, as the last polishing their trucks paving, and T-14 in this case seems to get stuck and stands (see below at 0:17).

The specialists of "Uralvagonzavod" could not instantly be staying in the tank, but when there were, we very quickly realized what was happening. Got the "cap" and drove, and the one who so badly he gave the command to pull the tank in tow – it could screw up the transmission! "Vezouze" no problem took the tank off the brake and started. Everything is exactly as soon after the incident described in social networks, Deputy CEO of the Corporation Alexey Zharich. The only thing that took some time to figure out what there was on/off and lead the electronics of the control system of the tank to its original state.
I think that this is a representative case will force the military to pay more attention to the recommendations of the industry and the organisers of the parades will be forced to change the rules of their conduct. In particular, it is necessary to reduce the number of training "on the people", i.e. in the city – these rehearsals erode and undermine the whole meaning of the celebration. I believe that it is possible to do with just one dress rehearsal, and then at night. Rest to spend away from the prying eyes of onlookers and the press in Alabino. When it comes to events of this magnitude, it is not necessary for the people to know the whole story. Because what happens is it seems to be the usual technical difficulties during training, and what a huge reputational damage it has inflicted and Corporations and the Armed forces, and to the State itself. As they say, "a spoon then found, but the sediment remained"!

The cause of the incident today was just not the ability of a soldier to overcome psychological stress and cope with panic. Experience and systems management of the new and Complex machine.
translation, the Tank driver in all the Excitement forgot the clutch.
Despite the fact that much of the "Armata" is automated, and thus easier to operate, it is still sensitive and requires practicing the skills.
Driving in the columns.
Because the machine has a excessive specific power, giving her the unique handling and Manouvering characteristics.
Brandon ( who?) and took the lead, braked – pecked nose - behind. ( lost in translation) Actually what happened is a small press accelerator resulting in the tank jerking forward, then the sharp brake – he stood up and stalled. Moreover, on one of the videos, it is noticeable that the same jerk was not walking in front of the tank, not from what's next (see below for 10:49).
Lots of this i think got lost in translation
To stand in the middle of red square, in front of the Minister and the multitude of camera views... How would you feel if you were the Driver? The guy panicked, and began to grasp and to put pressure on everything within reach – lights, wipers, air conditioner... as a result, he did not notice how he put the tank on parking brake. That is why The BRAM-1 could not Tow the "Armata". It is clear as day in the video, as the last of the T-14 seems to stall and stands (see below at 0:17).
Basically The Driver panicked under the spot lights. He was driving a unfamiliar vehicle and hit the parking break stopping the tank and locking the track. this may mean that the T14 and other member of this new family are using a new steering system. T90 the current Russian MBT uses a stick system which is the traditional steering and driving method of Tanks and APC's.

Some Tanks APC's and IFV's however ditch this configuration like this M1A1 Which uses a handle bar

Or this Vintage WW2 Tiger Tank with a Sterring wheel.
The specialists of "Uralvagonzavod" could not instantly get in the tank, but when they did get there, they very quickly realized what was happening.

who so badly he gave the command to pull the tank in tow – it could screw up the transmission! "MORON!"
once they let off the brake and It started.

Okay So all is well, Just Some Noob at the Wheel who is likely right now on his way to drive BMP-1's in Siberia.

.
Translation this is Damage control.

So does this Change What I said earlier? No. They Rushed the Tank to the Parade for Propaganda. They only had partially trained Tank crews for it and some one made a mistake. Rather then spending there time getting a Tank Crew properly trained to operate the Machine they rolled them down red Square. and when some thing inevitably went wrong it went viral and now the maker, army and Putin have Egg on there faces
