The press passes information about, that UralVagonZavod (UVR) I decided to continue the research in the field of realization of the tank with smooth-bore gun, 152 mm. The basis for this kind of research is still a Soviet project "Object 195" tank, aka "Perfection 88", aka T-95. The main funding for the War Department for further work in this area at the time stopped, but, according to one, Uralvagonzavod decided to continue research in order "sheer enthusiasm", other, public investment is still not completely dried up.
Because of the veil of secrecy, for obvious reasons, comprehensive information on the investigations no, but the fact remains: the main direction of research in this area due to the, as appropriate to enable the T-14 "Armata" the very 152 mm gun, due to which its strike capabilities serious way could be improved.
By and large,, and th version tank T-14 "APMA", which is in the development of combat operation is actually a single specimen, in many ways, and there is a development of that "Object 195" with uninhabited tower and isolated in a special armored combat vehicle crew capsule.
experts note, what, implementing variant T-14 "Armata" with 125 mm cannon, plant can be create and modify 152 mm. Here is the prototype of "Object 292" with a gun LP-83 caliber 152 mm. It is the brainchild of the Kirov factory (Leningrad, the USSR) and Research Institute "Transmash". As a base then decided to use a modification of the T-80BV. Why not go in the tank series? All banal - the beginning of the 90s, an acute shortage of funds not only for the defense, the collapse of the Soviet Union, thesis "We have no enemies, circle - friends'.
However, experimental machine was created, technology is not lost, but sufficient volumes of funds will be sought if this time, – open to question, especially in connection with certain of the defense budget cuts in recent years.
