Moscow. November 10th. INTERFAX - The new state armament program for 2024-2033 assumes serial deliveries of Armata tanks to the Russian military, Mikhail Osyko, a member of the Board of the Military-Industrial Commission (MIC) of Russia, told Interfax.
"Serial (deliveries) are provided," Osyko said, answering the agency's relevant question.
According to him, quantitative indicators of purchases of military equipment under the new GPV have not yet been determined.
"It's only in 2023," Osyko said.
The state armament program for 2024-2033 will receive funding in the amount of at least 21-22 trillion rubles, first deputy chairman of the Military-industrial Complex Board Andrei Yelchaninov said in mid-April.
As Interfax reported, the Armata platform was developed by Uralvagonzavod Concern as a base for the T-14 main battle tank, the T-15 heavy infantry fighting vehicle and the T-16 armored repair and evacuation vehicle. Armored vehicles on the Armata platform are being tested.
The T-14 is considered the world's only tank of the third post-war generation. According to military experts, "Armata" is a new word in tank construction, has no analogues in the world. This is a fundamentally new and completely Russian development. The T-14 tower is uninhabited. For the first time, the crew is placed in an armored capsule separated from the ammunition.
