New Russian High-Tech Tank Suffers BSOD Moment During Army Parade
Russia unveiled its new main battle tank as part of practices for Saturday's Victory Day parade (commemorating the end of WWII). According to RT, the Armata "is a cutting-edge vehicle with an unmanned turret armed with a brand new 125 mm smoothbore cannon, which is the most powerful gun of its kind to date in terms of muzzle energy." You decide...
Of course, the painful 40 seconds could be seen as an anology for The Fed's effort to revive The US Economy.

"You had one job Ivan!....One Job!....Get the tank from Red Square to the end of the road....!"
The end of the f**kin' road for Ivan.
Yo Vlad, put it in Neutral...
I'm not going to buy one until they work the bugs out.
Programmer got screwed on his raise.........next time a couple rounds into the stands.
I like seeing Russian officers with all those medals coating their chests....
They must get a medal for every vodka bottle downed.
Not at all like the medals of exceptional honor, valor, and glory earned by US officers for such feats of bravery as rape in a "friendly" country or remote control wedding party extermination.
That is one strange universe really.
The Armata tank is probably not much behind a Leopard 2 tank. Except that the Leopard was designed in the 1970ies and the Armata is brand new.
leopard behind t-90, armata is they ahead of all of them...
You mean "behind" like a Mercedes or a Porsche is "behind" a Russian made Lada?
nyet Lada ahead of Tank:

When you're a nuclear power, you don't need to waste money on meaningless militia. Just spit and polish on the red button is enough, after all what is a shiny new tank gonna do to your intercontinental ballistic missiles?
Now I'd be more worried about the 20kiloton nuclear suitcase bombs Russia has made, aka. RA-115 that have since coldwar, gone missing to a neighborhood near you...
Fist of all, Armata is not a tank. It's a platform. T-14 is tank. And Leopard 2 is behind T-14: tehnologically, in terms of armament, armor, manouverability, etc. Ammunition of Leopard 2 is made of tungsten and it cannot pierce even T-90 armor.
But the best part of T-14 is that its price is only half the price of Abrams and Leopard 2. You can get 2 T-14 for the price of 1 Abrams or Leoprad 2. And that means a lot. When you put things into context, probably the best tank today is Israeli Merkava, but you know what? Hezbollah took out 50 Merkavas in 2006 war probably using some older Russian anti-tank weapons. That is how "big a deal" tanks are in today's warfare. The time of tanks have passed.
Tungsten?! Oh they have a lot of that at Fort Knox and in the basement of the NY Fed.
The super intersting thing when watching the enforcers of TPTB is that they are fat, innept, and unable to even pull off reasonably entertaining hoaxes anymore. Look at jade helm. look at baltimore. Look at furgeson. Lookj at ISIS.
There is no tungston/gold in ft. knox. I'll bet there is lots of lightwieght asbestos.
was the design french? those only go in reverse.
I had a redhead girlfriend one time and she had a lot of muzzle energy, too. I surrendered.
very wise, very wise. hope you had an occasional uprising that she could put down over the years
You know what they say...
Red in the head, fire in the hole.
Don't look at the mantelpiece while you're stoking the fire.
Using tanks to fight a war is 20th century....That's like buying a new typewriter or desktop computer. Great idea in theory, but nobody uses them anymore!!! You should see the toys we have nowadays to fight a war!
A main battle tank is a combination of armor, speed and mobility and of huge fire power. Still what you want to have on a battlefield to win. Doesn´t mean tanks alone will decide who wins these days.
I agree but Armata is destined to be the first remote control, crewless, MBT, with some capable auto loading and targeting. If they can mass produce these, like the Reapers, what would you like, an overhead drone with Hellfire, or a tank that can fire a 125mm every few seconds and has SAM to deter drones? Not sure but, a tank might worry me more.
>brand new experimental prototype has a mechanical problem that is quickly fixed and won't appear in production vehicles Slow news
MBTs don't care much about weather either.
Wrong

Some of us actually use electronics for more than twitstuff and fadebooking. I use a powerful, as opposed to your wimpy tablet, phablet, or smartyphone, desktop computer every single day at work and at home. Why is it that stupid humans (no offense Bellevue, as ALL humans are stoopid) seem to think that every other human thinks like they do. They do not. This pathetic human trait has a serious negative effect on many facets of our lives. It also spotlights one of our worst traits..........self absorption. Humans suck.
That's funny. So you're telling me Steve Jobs was stupid and self absorbed for creating a tech giant? And whimpy tablets and smartphones? I don't twitshitt or faceblast either...So what's your point again? I'm telling you right here and right now that a battle tank is no longer needed in warfare. The next war will not be fought from the ground. To summarize, let's just say there's a generational difference between your stoopidness and mine.
This is the Microsoft windows blue screen moment, Russian new tank version, I knew this would happen.
The Armata brakes are full on, like any commerciaal vehicle brakes that fail safe; so recovery tank will not be able to pull it, only a crane onto a low-loader will do.
The 9th will be eventful!
yes but what is disgusting is that the designers were so arrogant that they didn't allow for a manual override.
Tank must be using a Microsoft operating system -- always wait for the the 3rd try by Microsoft before buying anything!
Yakov's gotta paint some new fucking lines on the street next week too!
I think it is something stupid, We will find out soon, i hope
Most likely never going to see that one rumbling down the streets of Kalifornia.
HA ha ha
Yea make fun of the people that put our spacecraft into orbit for us since we don't seem to be able to anymore.
Space X seems to be doing just fine.
They killed the heavy booster comptetition.
I very much wanted to see a modern variant of the most powerful rocket booster ever...the F-1 (which now could be built even more powerfully as the F-1B).
No dice.
The SpaceX Falcon-heavy booster seems poised to make them irrelevant.
But, IMO, a Kerox booster is more logical. And the F-1 is awesomely large and powerful.
And Elon Musk has a home battery to sell you as well.
yeh, cos elect car great investment....
Falcon Heavy has never flown yet
It's design is a derivative of the Delta which is itself a derivative of the Titan
Nothing earth-shatering there.
Lets see what happens after the first few flights
More like outright theft and copy of Delta, Titan and probably old Atlas. Elon is the police state's fair haired zio-boy.
The design doesn't have to be revolutionary if the methods used to make, maintain, and launch it make the price revolutionary.
The Auto Industry's hey-day was not built on luxuries, or technological marvels, but on solid capability at an everyman price.
The more Industry has cartelized and consolidated, the more this has been forgotten.
What do I need a technologically superior new design for, if the engineering goes, instead, into making an older design economical to operate?
Personally, I think the Russians might have somehow inadvertantly incorporated parts of the design of the F35...

>brand new experimental prototype has a mechanical problem that is quickly fixed and won't appear in production vehicles
Slow news day?
We reserved an automatic, but no,...
lol. Who's the commander of this-U-boat?
"Risky Business" circa 1983.
so the actual parade will have a recovery demonstration, tow drivers in white suits showing how if a malfunction did happen they could tow and transport it oh so efficiently.. always spin it positive folks..
There have been transmission problems during development.
It is much heavier than previous Russian Tanks.
Generally the Russians make a good product.
Don't read so much into a simple parade.
The Germans had the same problem with their tanks in WWII. bigger guns, more armour, bigger engine, same drivetrain. Something had to give.
"Generally the Russians make a good product".
Like the Yugo?
I really haven't seen many Russian-made luxury vehicles, lately. Maybe I just don't get out that much.
obvious you don't...
cos yugo.......
The Yugo was not Russian, but Yugoslav
It's refreshing, and telling, that RT was the first to voluntarily broadcast this story; being a Kremlin propaganda tool and all.
RT is good sometimes but could not be mostly further from official-Kremlin.
No news is good news at RT.
The Wolverines strike again
The T-14 is strangely divergent from previous Russian Tanks.
Bigger.
Heavier.
With a departure from the rounded edges of previous Russian Tanks.
And featuring angular armor.
Almost like the secret wester chobbam armor?
It must be good to have such great Engineers.
Chobbam is 40 years old.
you know nothing comrade john .
You were about to call me John Snow, weren't you?!
I have eyes. And I know what older Russian Tanks look like. If you think this Armata is not more angular, then please post these photos next to T90's, T80's, T72s, T64's, T62s, etc.
It is more angular. Even a blind man could see it.
And I can see the height of the tank's deck relative to the men standing next to it.
Post pictures of men standing next to older Russian tanks. Their heads and chests are above the deck. On the Armata, their heads are level with the deck. There should be plenty of May-Day parades to compare to.
And I can read articles about transmission break-downs. (It also happened during practice.) You don't believe Channel 1? RBK news? RT?
Engineers, can work out kinks.
The M1 is an old tank, already. The creme of 1960's technology. It would be no shame to be equaled by a tank 50 years newer.
!
.
maybe it's hard to tow with the electric motors, oh well, they have thousands of other tanks... plus all the WW2 tanks still work and are effective in numbers.
The Armata is not even in service yet... is the F35?
Haven't they learned yet that you have to put it in neutral to be able to tow it?
Handbrake is on your right, darling.
Women !
It looks naked without all the carbon ceramic armour plating.
After the F-35 fiasco, the Russians are using the same Chinese back-doored chips?
Nope. Just that one.
John McCaine Supposeldy fixed that little issue, when he was not hanging out with the ISIS leadership. They are Saying princess lindsay might give him the VP nod he has always wanted on the 2016 republican ticket. Weird, 'cause his wife was probably hot when she was younger and she is still rich.
Italian tanks have six gears - one forward and five in reverse.
But the eleven cupholders still work.

Meh. New drivers on brand new equipment. Could be anything from a stall to blown transmission.
Musta been made in China and bought at Walmart.
You don't see the bodies stacked like cord-wood of the parties considered responsible.
tanks are obsolete, Putin knows that, this just for show-primarily the "fake" US minutions industry
The most important thing is to have huge stockpiles of rockets of all kinds: the more, the better. As for tanks, just let those Western tanks come close to their gravyards:
one e.g. TOS-1 Buratino:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TuyCZiI2f8U
They can be armed with what Muricans call HEAT (High Explosive Anti-Tank) warheads. They sow death to enemy's tanks, or any other type of armor. Something to think about.
great example of russian jews stealing tax money from host
us jews still stealing more (f35 400$billion crapjet witch cant fly at night or rain)

HELLSTORM
The Biggest Cover-Up In History
This documentary tells the tale that the victors still do not want you to know.
Winston Churchill told Lord Robert Boothby:
Hellstorm - Exposing The Real Genocide of Nazi Germany
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMCOKNCwHmQ (1:30:20)
Published on May 1, 2015
This documentary tells the tale that the victors still do not want you to know. Learn the terrible truth about the rape, torture, slavery, and mass murder inflicted upon the German people by the Allied victors of World Word II. This is the biggest cover-up in world history.
I took a quick look at it. Interesting. I never heard that "Judaism declares war against Germany" in history class, did anyone else. What's your opinion on the doc, Goldy?
Are you forgetting 25 million Russian (Christians) murdered by the NYC and European Bolsheviks backed by Wall Street and the City of London?
what a piece of work is man..
years ago, an Englishman would rant on about this to me. it was like his 9/11 awakening, which is an observation I can only now have. years before the actual 9/11.
and my family suffered at the occupation of German Soldiers during WWII, I'm only on the side of peace because of SHIT like this.
may history not always repeat?
Just went little browsing about T-14 specifications and this is the best description I've found:
The Armata is a new-generation tank. It has little in common with the current T-90. Exact technical specifications of this MBT remain classified.
It has been reported that this main battle tank is operated by a crew of only 2 men, including commander and driver. If it is true, so far it is the only MBT to have such a small crew. Older Russian tanks have a crew of 3. While most Western MBTs have a crew of 4. Reduction of the crew to just 2 men allowed to reduce crew compartment, overall the size of the vehicle and improve protection.
The Armata might be one of the most protected MBTs in the world. It has been reported that it has newly-developed armor, made of steel, ceramics and composite materials. Also it has been reported that Armata has a Malakhit add-on explosive reactive armor of new generation. As usual this MBT is fitted with NBC protection and automatic fire suppression systems. It has been reported that Armata will be fitted with new Afganit active protection system. It seems that it also has a new countermeasures system that reduces the chance of being hit by enemy ATGW with semi-automatic guidance. This new Russian tank uses smoke grenade dischargers of new type.
It has been reported that crew members are seated in a well protected armored capsule. It is separated from automatic loader and ammunition. The tank has improved resistance to damage. It can fight even with penetrated armor, as far as the crew cell is intact.
It was reported that Armata wil be armed with a 2A82 125-mm smoothbore gun. It has improved ballistics comparing with a 2A46M gun of the T-90 MBT. The gun is mounted in unmanned turret and is completed with an autoloader. This tank will be capable of firing gun-launched anti-tank guided missiles in the same manner as ordinary rounds. These missiles have a range of about 5 km and can also target low-flying helicopters.
The Armata MBT is fitted with new fire control system. The tank has a hunter-killer capability. It is also equipped with a battlefield management system.
In addition, as I read on some other site, T-14 is the only tank today that has capability of surviving an encounter with the tanks' killers - helicopters. All of the stuff is pretty unique for the tanks. Would make dead iron out of Abrams and Leopards, which is all that matters. :)
The Leopard 2 tank has hunter-killer capability since decades. And it looks like the T-14 armor is a copy of the Leopard 2 armor. And there is a 140 mm cannon with auto loader on the shelf at Rheinmetall for the Leopard and the Abrams tanks since 15 years read for use if needed. Having just a 2 men crew is new, but i doubt this will be an advantage in battle. So, the Russians just catch up with the Western tank technology the West uses since decades, lets see if they can afford to build them. If so, the West will just build the next generation of MBT and the gap will be as large as before. That kind of arms race killed the USSR and will kill the Russian federation too.
germans thought they had the lead before barbarossa, too. then came the t-34s and kv tanks. by the end of the war, is-2 was more than a match for king tiger. who is to say things are any different today?
Like i said here before, the T-14 /Armata MBT is probably on eyesight with the Abrams/ Leopard 2 tanks of the western armies. This is hardly a great achievement, since the later were designed in the 1970ies and the T-14 is brand new. Up till now the western tanks had the advantage of quality and the Russians of quantity of MBT so things were petty much even. If the Russians really are building the T-14 in huge quantities, the West will react and introduce a new generation of MBTs. That´s no problem for the West at all since the technology for that is on the shelf already. So what´s the purpose for the Russians to do this? Is "national pride" for having a new main battle tank really worth wasting Russia scarce resources for that?
Russians are NOT nincompoops! Whatever the takeaway from this video is, it's not that!
Do not skip medications.
It probably won't be Russian tanks pointing at Americans, soon.
Most likely, during JADE HELM, it will be the M1A1 Abrams...
but just an exercise, of course...
The benchmark for Russia's new tank was the Bradley. Unfortunately, they fell a bit short.
Hope this guy is not Latvian, as his efforts are very much not worthy of potato.
The Russian military is at the vanguard of the world's militarizes, you can be assured of that!
Ten-hut!
Your stupidity has a certain unique stench, Bob.
Looks like your sock puppet iofera has been tossed onto the dung heap, where it joins stopeuro, asophocles, 5e0V2a3, and Amerikan Patriot.
Put it in neutral.
Stalin...er, Vlad...is going to have someone's head on a platter for this!
I don't know why the Russian, American and other military feels the need to show off what they have. The best way to fight a war is through the element of surprise. Let the enemy think they are superior then prove yourself on the batlefield.
Or show what you have to make the other side think before they try anything.
The best wars are those which never get fought.
-IrakVhet (sorry to say).
That will never work. If the enemy is determined they are going to attack regardless of how powerful you are. If anything they can be among the crowd looking for weaknesses before they attack. Remember war mongers aren't sane people so you can't convince them that they will lose. Rational people don't go around looking for wars only irrational and insane maniacs do that. So flaunting what you have is the equivalent of exposing your weaknesses to an irratonal lunatic who's only interest is in finding an easy way to defeat you.
Hey, what's with you guys?
Wasn't this parade supposed to be a demonstration of the new Armata? Well, a new tank isn't like a new Mercedes. You don't just make the tail lights cool in the extreme and then demonstrate them. No, there are other mechanical features to point out to friend and foe.
Like Tracklock. (tm) The ability to make an Armata immobile without entering the password. (at least one capital letter and one lowercase one. plus a few other requirements.)
So if NATO finds a gaggle of Armatas on the field, they will need the tanks' passcode to get them on a flatbed rail car or tank hauler truck.
That cloud of diesel exhaust was for General Breedlove to choke on.
.
When General Philatio Manlove chokes, it is on something else.
There are gaggle of reasons that the tracks on the now notorious Armata tank did not turn when the tow tank gunned its engine.
And one of them was that the event was a demonstration of the Armata's ability not to move when movement is counterproductive. No one who saw the video has any idea what caused the track and its wheels to freeze.
You can be sure that every armoured cavalry officer in NATO has seen that brief demonstration, and like the commentors at zh has an opinion as to why it froze.
It prolly was the transmission or the brakes.
But there is a longshot chance it was purposely done because my man Putin, wanted to show the world what his new tanks can do without having a halting, stop and start segment to his commemorative parade on Saturday honoring the 70th Anniversary of the Defeat of the Nazis, whose cock all of the leaders of Western Europe are cheerfully sucking on the advice of Obama.
Ukies know how to load a tank on a flatbed.

It really makes me proud that our government supports these idiots.
thanks for that.
does anybody know if the driver had his seat belt on?
Makes the old 88mm positivly unassuming.
I couldn't imagine being in a tank with today's modern warfare with satellites and drones.
The only thing worse would being stationed on an aircraft carrier.
Talk about sitting ducks.
Both are obsolete.
Obsolete for everything except using on your own population or an unarmed population.
Have the Finns been informed? I hear they have some new inventions and tricks that could be put to use stopping tanks. No one is sure though.
Any war ship is little more than a steel coffin for a large collection of young males; very convenient way to silence a few potential trouble makers - otherwise known as dissidents.
Langley trolls...hello losers. Its a practice parade, its why they have one. Also losers just one phrase nails the lemon tech prize......................F35................roflmao. You dumb fuk American wankers youre a defunct, broke and enslaved nation distracted by food drugs booze and crime ridden TV who are controlled by a small A hole elite who own you. There is no American dream. Its over. Youre fatter, dumber and more incarerated. Thats what you are good at. As a populace you know this. Hence the social disintergration.
Yes, this an accurate description unfortunately. Idiocracy... That is what we have become.
You must have visited the country last year. Sounds like you stayed in the D.C. area. Your description is dead on except the people you saw don't call themselves wankers. The call themselves politicians and .gov workers. The term "Workers" is a total misnomer.

The tracks locked up, hilarious. They fought Hitler virtually alone for 4 years that's enough to get my respect.
Don't forget the supplies, airplanes, ammo... oh yes, and the equipment stripped from American gold mines that were shipped to the Soviets under Lend Lease.
and then they paid for the stuff..
They just gotta put it in neutral.
Yeah, looked like it was stuck in Park to me!

Windoze 10 launch date. Yum, yum, let's install this beast of viruses.
Smoothbore? What? Why? I personally like rifling. Is the 125 mm gun a flintlock blackpowder as well?
Well, I am not throwing stones at the Russsians here because I have a Honda motocrycle that has a bad coil so no spark on the right cyclinder, a Harley with a bad speed sensor which fucks with the speedometer, the turn signals and the idle and a Hyundai that will run just fine down the freeway but as soon as you come to a stop it dies but then will restart. The common thread is that it is all electrical bullshit. So to fix that tank I would start with the electrical components and then move to the hydraulics. I doubt that the tank has mechanical gearbox. If nothing else there should be a bleed off on the hydraulic motor that can be opened so that it can be towed.
To me all vehicles, governments and financial systems are pieces of shit that are all ready to break down at any given moment.
Sounds like you need to post on Craigslist in Russia.
Craigslist in Russia? I saw all sorts of stuff over there when I was there that I would like to take a look at but you will never get through the TSA with a toolchest.
I want an old Soviet Russian car because that is a statement car but I refrain. Where are the parts for them? Nyet! You might enjoy this video of old Russian cars.
Smothbore becaue they are using fin stabilized sabot rounds.
A smoothbore enables you to fire types of munitions you can't fire from a rifled barrel, such as rocket/rocket assist projectiles or wire guided munitions. Also, the spin of imparted by a rifled barrel disrupts the shaped charge effect, reducing or nullifying it's armor piercing potential.
The new Lada among main battle tanks ;-)
A tank without fast exchangeable components is not suitable. Take Leo-II: Each technical part is exachangeable between minutes - e. g. the whole motor in less than 20 minutes. Assembly takes 5 minutes.

How many Germans want to fight for the banksters. Sadly - tens of millions of Germans were murdered in two bankster world wars that made the banksters even richer. This is the purpose of wars. Kill off the able bodied men and loot the countries. This has been the way going back to Rome.
They should have had the ATV race ready to go like when the monster trucks break.
It's a riot of laughter. Who sold the outdated Windows OS? I might of given them $25 for a floppy version of 3.1.1

A good chess move.
"A military operation involves deception. Although you are competent, appear to be incompetent. Though effective, appear to be ineffective." - Sun Tzu
The problem with projecting appearances is that they tend to become true, particularly with soldiers.
This is embarassing, of course. But that's why they practice.
Anyone who has served in an armored unit knows that these buggers can happen at any time.
But the folks at RT.com showed that -after waiting for the rest of the rehearsal parade to pass by- the crew got the gears unjammed, by rocking the tank backward a few times. It then drove off under its own power - to the cheers of those nearby.
This is called taxpayer funded money around the entire globe. Fuck you. If it doesn't work, why sign the contract for taxpayers to fix? Another fucking parasite working the system. Your contract should of been canceled.
Unless, the driver inside the tank turned a key and threw a switch when the tank started to rock.
That is, if they were trying to fool us.
A top Formula One car costs a lot more that that tank and they break too.
This is a big tank. It will get stuck in Ukrainian mud before it gets stuck in Kiev's alleys. Better stick with the smaller tanks. Looks cool though.
No need to go into the city when you can level it from afar...
The Abrams is ten tons heavier than the Armata in full on tank configuration.
"Dirt in the fuel line, done blewed it away, comrade".
The tank was fine; they just had a hard time finding a sober tank crew. You shouldn't drink and tank around.
Or this ways a great false flag?
Whose engineers are the most medicore - US or Russian ?
How many US engineers are foreign imports?
We all have had failures in our lives.
Tanker'd tank driver for sure, probably used the Grey Goose instead of the Stoli.
Fucking MIcs are the same everywhere.
PLAYBOOK!
