Panda Hobby 35051 TBMP T-15 with 57mm Gun

The T-15 Armata is a modern Russian tracked infantry fighting vehicle. The drive is probably provided by a single diesel engine with a power of about 1500 HP. The first prototypes of the vehicle were probably created at the beginning of the 21st century, and the car was presented to the public for the first time in 2015. The armament consists of a 30mm 2A42 automatic cannon, a single 7.62mm machine gun and a Kornet-EM anti-tank guided missile launcher.

The T-15 Armata was designed to replace the vehicles of the BMP-1 and BMP-2 families in the line. In order to shorten the research and development work, the T-15 was based on the hull and chassis of the T-14 Armata MBT. Finally, a vehicle weighing as much as 48 tons was created, and therefore larger than the T-90 tank, but probably with a very extensive armor that provided the landing troops with protection from shells with a caliber of at least 20-25 mm, and probably more. Almost certainly the T-15 uses Afghanite reactive armor. The car probably also has a drive unit with a very high maximum power of about 1500 KM, which allows it to achieve a considerable maximum speed of up to 65-70 km / h and - most likely - giving it a lot of maneuverability on the battlefield. The T-15 Armata also has an extensive fire control and battlefield management system.
