Well, judging from pictures the Kurganets UFP could be 30-60mm of aluminium

UFP is same as BMP-3

Do we have some confirmation from some source that the thickness is indeed the same?

Well that should be estimated but judging by eye it seems a "little" thicker than mere 1.8 cm.

 

BTW managed to get a much better shot.

@Wiedzmin what you identify there as "plate" in the top picture is actually the ceramic-based add-on module (which might be encased in steel)  present in the IFV version but not mounted on the APC shown in the middle picture. I know its the IFV because that scene showed that and also the little fixed hooks around the driver´s hatch. What you identify as "flange" is actually the base aluminium plate. In the first picture it can be seen clearly that the add-on module and the aluminium plate are of approximately the same thickness and the closeups we have on the composite show that its clearly about 30-60mm thick.

   T-14 going through some testing at 38th institute testing ground.

   Fuel drums mounted.

 

Spoiler

   Looks like those fuel drums are connected to fuel system of the vehicle.

 

   Rubber cover on a hole to the left of main gun mantlet, probably location of coax MG.

Looks very sexy with those fuel drums. Any new info that we didn´t know about?

The only one I'm aware of is the small rubber cover that's appeared on the upper right side of the gun mantlet, which probably houses the coaxial MG:

 

 

Were there others?

I was about to say what alanch had noted.

   Another Military Acceptance show episode about Armatas. T-15 looks like is equipped with Epokha turret in this footage.

 

[LoooSeR]

   Full episode of Military Acceptance from 38th NII. Armata-based vehicles are going through state trails there currently. Nothing really new was shown or told.

 

   Few things to note:

   Tank bottom section in the front and rear are different, looks like some sort of mine protection under crew compartment was mounted.

 

Spoiler

   Metal boxes for orsion bars are visible in rear section of T-14 

 

   This time they blured monitors. Previously they were showing what was on them. Maybe software was changed.

 

Spoiler

 

 

   Doppler radar for firing tests. In the video they told that TV crew was allowed to record only a shot with old HEAT round instead of new, designed for 2A82.

   Few more things were spotted on otvaga. First is new rollers on Armata vehicles (previously were saw in production facility, pics posted in this thread months ago).

 

   And new radar for Afghanit, or at least radars external box is a bit different shaped.

   Now in Kubinka, tests of three samples of heavy armored vehicles based on the "Armata" platform are in full swing. Tank T-14, infantry fighting vehicle T-15 and T-16 BREM - armored recovery vehicle. And also deeply modernized T-72, T-80, T-90, wheeled platforms "Boomerang", tracked platforms "Kurganets", various versions of armored wheeled vehicles developed by specialists of the "Military-Industrial Company". And much more, including the latest active protection systems for armored vehicles.

   By the end of the year, the Armed Forces will receive twenty newest T-14 "Armata" tanks, said Aleksey Krivoruchko during the Single Day of Acceptance of Military Products.

   20 T-14s for Armed forces until end of 2021.

So we believe the "turret" is actually a simple box around the low profile gun housing and the optics, APS, etc, right?
