It was supposed to be the tank that would demonstrate the superiority of Russian arms in the face of Westerners, however, the first public presentation of the T-14 Armata, one of eight tanks should march, froze moments after making his grand entrance on Red Square in Moscow, and only returned to move 15 minutes later.

Fortunately for the reputation of the Russian military, it happened today, May 7, during the test of the Victory Day celebrations marking the 70th anniversary of the end of World War II and the defeat of the Nazis, and not during the official ceremony to be held in Moscow on Saturday, 9th.

Evil entered the Red Square, opposite the Lenin Mausoleum, one of the T-14 Navy stopped. And though the motor to continue working, the prodigious vehicle to resist an attempt to tow it, keeping property. Only after a quarter of an hour, came back to walk by himself.

The service host, did not lose the pose, announcing the microphones it was just to show “how the evacuation of a tank “ensuring that” It was planned that the tank was going to stop. ” The audience responded with laughter.

The great advantage of T-14, the first chariot being developed by Russia in 40 years, is the control system at a distance the tower and cannon operated from inside the vehicle, from a shielded enclosure. The radar uses the latest technology to detect up to 40 targets on the ground and 25 in the air, within 100 Kms. Still being studied is the possibility of making it work only through robotics.

This first demonstration did not go very well, but the T-14 is still in testing and will only become operational in 2020 and is planned to build 2,300 of these war vehicles under the Russian program for replacement of weapons inherited from the Soviet Union.

However, Uralvagonzavod, the company that produces the T-14 Armata, ensures that there is nothing wrong with the tank, blaming the military for the arrest.
