MilitaryT-14 Armata MBT
Tankestimated
The T-14 Armata features an unmanned turret, fully isolated crew capsule, active protection system (Afganit), and advanced sensors. If fully realized, it would represent a generational leap beyond current NATO MBTs. However, production has been severely constrained by sanctions, cost, and complexity.
