MOSCOW, 8 Jun — RIA Novosti. Russian frigates of project 11356 and 22350, which was supposed to equip the Ukrainian gas turbine engines (GTE), will receive the Russian power plant, surpassing Ukrainian counterparts, told RIA Novosti on Monday, the press service of the United shipbuilding Corporation.
"The first three frigates of project 11356 and the first two ships of project 22350 is already equipped with GTE Ukrainian production. Subsequent frigates of both projects will be equipped with power units of Russian production with characteristics superior to Ukrainian counterparts," — said the press service.

USC will sue Ukraine for non-delivery of engines for frigates
Work in this direction is expanded Rybinsk NPO "Saturn", which in cooperation with several Russian industrial enterprises already started the revision of existing Russian projects GTE. The production of the first Russian engines of this type is scheduled for late 2017 — early 2018, said in USC.
It is also reported that there are "concrete decisions" on imports of gears for propulsion systems with GTE at the facilities of the St. Petersburg plant "Zvezda".

MOSCOW, June 8. /TASS/. Concern "tractor plants" plans to install anti-aircraft gun platform "kurganets-25", announced on 8 June TASS the representative of the press service of the concern.

"On a unified medium tracked platform "kurganets-25" planned to create a family of promising floating armored vehicles. There is a willingness to cooperate with the main developers of specimens of this family and their willingness to modify the platform to fit their requirements. For example, it is planned to create a fighting machine anti-aircraft artillery complex (calibre 57 mm)," - said the Agency interlocutor.

Earlier in the concern TASS reported that on the basis of Kurgancha" will create a self-propelled artillery gun caliber 120 mm.

Platform "kurganets-25" is one of the heavy "Armata", middle "Boomerang" and easy "Typhoon". Now on its basis created infantry fighting vehicle, shown at the Victory day parade in Moscow on 9 may. It is assumed that the mass production of the armored vehicles could begin in 2017 or 2018.

Steel research Institute: armor "Armata" invulnerable to existing anti-tank missiles
Now the army and Marines are armed with self-propelled anti-aircraft gun ZSU-23-4 "Shilka", which was produced in 1964. "Shilka" is equipped with four 23-mm cannons and designed to destroy air targets at ranges of up to 2.5 km and a height of up to 1.5 km, flying at speeds up to 450 meters per second.

MOSCOW, June 6. /TASS/. Self-propelled artillery gun caliber 120 mm will be created on the unified tracked platform "kurganets-25", reported on 6 June TASS the representative of the press service of the concern "Tractor Works".

"Armata and Kurganets": from the remote controller to artificial intelligence
"On a unified medium tracked platform "kurganets-25" planned to create a mobile reconnaissance paragraph, chassis control machinery, machine radiation and chemical reconnaissance, as well as self-propelled artillery gun (120 mm)," - said the Agency interlocutor.
He explained that the concept of "platform" implies the possibility of creation on its base of combat vehicles for different purposes.
Platform "kurganets-25" is one of the heavy "Armata", middle "Boomerang" and easy "Typhoon". Now on its basis created infantry fighting vehicle, shown at the Victory day parade in Moscow on 9 may. It is assumed that the mass production of the armored vehicles could begin in 2017 or 2018.

Traditionally gun and howitzers of this calibre are 122 mm, not 120. Mortars are 120mm, have been since three quarters of a century. Trouble with the translation?

yeah same here. Unlike planes and rocketships, building tanks (even the latest gen) are not exactly hmmmm rocket science :)

Unless the armata has some super secret alien armor, the Chinese could easily build something similar. Even then it is hardly a prize cause I doubt Russia would share the materials science of the armor (assuming alien exotic armor) with potential buyers and it's extremely difficult to reverse engineer those.

No different than trying to decipher the exact composition and process of KFC's herbs and spices just by eating their chicken or drinking coca cola. Same principle.

The Turret used on all the new IFV's in the Victory day Parade was the Russian Epoch Turret. IT's remote control operated from inside the hull is armed with a duel feed Shipunov 2A42 Autocannon of 30x165mm the Same gun used in the Havok, BMP2, BMP3 and KA50 series as well as other IFV's and Helicopters. Now If the Russians up gunned there IFVs to 57mm the most likely means would be the AU 220 turret the same one used on a ATOM IFV prototype between France and Russia. but there is one critical here, The AU 220 is manned. a single crewman sit in the turret operating it's systems. that makes the AU 220 Larger and sits it deeper in the hull.

No I just pick on the Rat a lot. NATO used Apache as a point of reference for Havok back in the Cold war even the diagrams they once circulated looked more like AH64, But this thing looks more like a Rat

The Russians are trying to hype up the Tank and feed themselves with grand designs. Although India and China might be interested in some of the Tech seen in Armada I doubt China would Drop there own stuff and dig back onto Russian Tanks. India is a bit of a head Scratch-er they could go indigenous they could buy the new tanks or they could buy western tanks.

This is what I have been taking about for about half a year. A 57mm auto cannon mounted on an IFV. No doubt that this will be used on ground targets. I wonder what that would do to a MBT, especially from the side.

I can tell you it would make a great fire support weapon.
