    [Official] Armata Discussion thread #2 - Page 20 C52ba9104385

    IMO, this is the most accurate estimate of the actual turret shape.  I'm 99% sure the small box on top is a independently aimed smoke launcher. On this rendering, the artist put "Standard" APS launchers on the front of the turret. It may have them, it may not. But I'm 100% sure it will have radars, they could be up front were the artist put the APS, or they might be right below the smoke launchers off to the side. There's not a lot of other placement options. The artist didn't include it, but the turret ring should also have APS tubes radiating from it, and the far side of the turret should have a 2A42 which feeds from the Epoha-lite-esque bustle. Anyways, there's a lot of crap that needs to be placed on the turret, the true turret shape cannot be that big.

    Regarding the radars: It could be the array, or the mount for the array, I dont know. It's not terribly large.

    It depends on the quality of the diesel fuel they are using. I bet the residue is not there in all the T-14 and T-15 practicing for
    the parade. The engine is a high performance turbocharged diesel not specially tuned to burn commercial grade diesel. This
    residue is not associated with engine damage or malfunction.

    Is that what you call 'black smoke'? Looks whitish-grey to me, and the T-90 is a bigger black smoke belcher, and it doesn't stop it from preforming it's vital tasks.

    This is routine exhaust aerosol for large diesels. You can see this regularly with tractor-trailers and other
    heavy diesel engine machines. Your typical VW TDI has all sorts of filters (including urea) to make them
    environmentally friendly.

    Diesels are more efficient than gasoline engines, but as they use heavier grade fuel cracked from crude oil
    they produce more exhaust aerosols including soot. Gasoline engines burn cleaner in terms of soot but
    release more carbon monoxide.

    I can't believe anyone is asking this question. I have seen this all my life and it's not like I lived it on a
    construction site.

    Still 125 mm, but likely the barrel and autoloader are longer to allow longer APFSDS rounds.

    Well. 2A82 is indeed longer than 2A46.

    Though yes, arrangement and that tarp around that barrel making it looks even larger.

    152 mm at 52 calibres = 7.9m
    125 mm at 52 calibres = 6.5m

    So either a 152/48 cal or something else...it clearly isn't a 52 cal 152mm

    Looks like the T-14 gun is placed farther forward than in the T-90 based on these two sets of
    pictures. The diameter still looks too large even accounting for the tarp. Probably the red
    overlay is too small.

    Actually given how tight the T90 turret is, I find the T-14 turret quite big (even with the tarp and superstructure). It is looking more and more like very ambitious project in the making.

    I pulled some images from otvaga, showing the left side of the turret which for some odd reason isn't photographed often.

    Something I've noticed from these images is that bump which I suspect is the directional smoke launcher can rotate 360 degrees.

    [Official] Armata Discussion thread #2 - Page 20 T14smo12

    [Official] Armata Discussion thread #2 - Page 20 T14smo13

    Notice in this image the smoke launcher is actually pointed over the roof of the turret, towards the building with the black and gold sign.
