T-15 Armata

The T-15 Barbaris (T-15 Барбарис) with industrial designation "Object 149" is a Russian heavy infantry fighting vehicle first seen in public (initially with its turret covered) in 2015 during rehearsals for the Moscow Victory Day Parade. The T-15 is expected to replace the BMP-2 and MT-LB based platforms of the Russian Ground Forces.

Armament
The T-15 features the Epoch Remote Control Turret with its 2A42 30 mm auto cannon, a 7.62 mm coaxial PKT and a bank of two Kornet-EM anti-tank guided missiles on either side.

Mobility
Like the T-14, the T-15 is based on the Armata Universal Combat Platform, but unlike the T-14 it has its engine in the front.

Protection
Like the T-14, the T-15 is protected by reactive armour and an Afghanit (Афганит) active protection system. While the T-14 has its Afghanit launch tubes at the base of its turret, the T-15 has them arrayed along the top sides of its hull.
