T-15 is heavy IFV based on the common platform what T-14 Armata is using too (like Israeli Namer) and is heavy IFV while Kuragents weights less than 30 ton.

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
I don't what to advertise certain fora that deal with Russian defense exclusively
But it seems completely logical to me - they didn't put that contraption on top of the tank for nothing .

MOSCOW (AP) — A state-of-the-art Russian tank, which was shown to the public for the first time earlier this month, on Thursday ground to a halt during the final Victory Day rehearsal.
The tank, T-14 Armata, is said to surpass all Western versions because of its remotely controlled cannon and the protection it offers to its crew. The T-14, which replaces the T-72 and T-90, is set to undergo trials next year.
Weaponry was rolling across central Moscow Thursday morning in the dress rehearsal of the military parade on Red Square on May 9 as Russia commemorates the 70th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.
One of the eight T-14s suddenly stopped while others drove on. The engine was still rumbling but it wouldn't move. After an attempt to tow it failed, the T-14 rolled away under its own steam about 15 minutes later.
While the tank was stranded on the cobbled Red Square, the presenter commenting over the PA system said it was part of the training to "evacuate weaponry" and had been planned.
The tank's producer insisted that the T-14 did not break down.
Alexei Zharich, deputy general director of the Uralvagonzavod factory, said on Twitter that the military were responsible for the way the rehearsal was held but insisted that the tank "was functioning properly and left on its own power."

Yep...sure.
And there were no US tanks entering Baghdad either. Baghdad Bob told us so.
After posting that article I began thinking “I hope that this tank is not a mechanical nightmare as were the T-64s”
Pity if one were to break down during the real parade
heheheGetting ready to watch the parade and drink my Grenache

If it did break down then they would need to make repairs, no one made repairs meaning it was not a break down nor any engine problems. No one can fix an engine without reaching for the engine and not in 15 minute time. Untrained crew while UVZ drivers were trained for it and all previous testbeds and models.
