Andrey Terlikov has been the head of UKBTM since 2011
MOSCOW, February 22. /tass/. Andrey Terlikov, General Director, Chief Designer of JSC Ural Design Bureau of Transport Engineering, will celebrate his 60th anniversary on February 22. This was reported to TASS by the press service of the concern.
"Andrey Leonidovich Terlikov, General Director and Chief Designer of UKBTM JSC, is celebrating his 60th anniversary today," Uralvagonzavod's press service noted.
Terlikov is a representative of the Ural tank building school.
"He started working at UKBTM in the research department. He followed in the footsteps of his father - an outstanding research engineer, a worker of the WWII rear Leonid Filippovich Terlikov. He received a higher education on the job," the concern reported.
Terlikov has been the head of the UKBTM since 2011.
"During this time, the upgraded T-90M "Breakthrough" tank and the UBIM universal armored engineering vehicle have been developed. A number of modernization projects of the T-72 tank have been implemented. But in the history of the world tank building, the name of Andrei Terlikov will first of all be associated with a development that has no analogues in the world, with Armata," the press service of the concern added.
The T-14 tank based on the Armata heavy unified combat platform was designed as the main tank of the Russian ground forces. It used unique design solutions, which have no analogues in the world. For the first time in the history of world tank building, Armata received an uninhabited tower and an isolated armored capsule for the crew, as well as fully digital equipment. The armor protects against all modern shells of tank and anti-tank guns, as well as anti-tank missiles and ammunition.
The remotely controlled uninhabited turret of the tank is equipped with a 125 mm smoothbore gun, a 12.7 mm twin machine gun and a 57 mm automatic grenade launcher. The T-14 is equipped with an active protection system that can shoot down projectiles and missiles flying into the car. The modular system allows you to replace the armament and equipment of the tank depending on the tasks. For the first time, the T-14 was demonstrated at the Victory Day Parade on May 9, 2015. In 2019, it passed preliminary tests.
The Armata state tests are scheduled to be completed in 2022.
