GLORIOUS T-14 ARMATA PICTURES.

[UltraRus]

New turret modifications. Seems like they added the active protection system found on the Kurganets. 

[UltraRus]

Also the APC variant.

BMPD blog should have better photo or screengrab of the new APS layout on K-17 (or K-16).

[SH_MM]

I thought Bumerang has no APS?

[Bronezhilet]

It does now.

[UltraRus]

Anyone know what those attachments at the very end of the vehicle are? At this stage the Bumerang platform looks very matured, probably nearing production.

[LoooSeR]

They looks like vertical smoke screen grenade launchers (similar to Armata and Kurganets).

[Scolopax]

That's an interesting idea.  I can't immediately think of any other vehicles that would deploy smoke for disembarking infantry like that, rather than just for the vehicle itself.

Those smoke grenade launchers are for vehicle first, as it is part of soft-kill APS. Look at similar system on T-14 and T-15.

the horizontal constructions it's a hard kill system similary to the Armata and Kurganets

 

The position its ideal for hard kill systems and all vehicles Armata,Kurganets and this Boomerang versions have a radar

for hard kill systems.

 

Sorry for my bad english

[LoooSeR]

yeah, horizontal launchers are for hard kill APS, vertical soft kill APS against top attack weapons.

Those are not hard-kill countermeasures. They look entirely different from the Afghanit, and are most likely smoke launchers or cameras for the dismounts' situational awareness.

What a sexy beast  .

Look at this two pictures the horizontal constructions on the Boomerang looks like the same on the Kurgants-25 Afghanit

I think the Boomerang Afganit have a metal armor

 

 

 

the cameras on the boomerang are here

Horizontal tubes are part of hard-kill APS, Afganit on tank/heavy IFV is different model of APS from system, mounted on Kurganets and Bumerang.

 

Look at this 3D render of Bumerang from several years before during development and you will see launchers on it, just without armor cover.

T-14 Armata at the Army 2016 forum. Reportedly, it demonstrated its capabilities to a closed audience. 

[UltraRus]

More pics of T-14 Armata at the same event.

[LoooSeR]

Andrey will not be happy.

Andrey will not be happy.

I found this on a VK page. I'm sure Andrey won't mind  .

[Mike E]

The gun looks more polished, probably a production unit. 

 

Nice seeing an Aussie on here, welcome to SH (I realize I'm late   )

[LoooSeR]

Oleg Sienko claims that first T-14s from first 100 were already delivered to army for field test.

Thanks but I see myself as a Serb living in Australia .

[UltraRus]

.Apparently they are going to put this turret on the Bumerang and Kurganets vehicles. I hope it's not a replacement for the Epoch turret. It looks kind of cheap.
