The Russian military will be hoping to put that little problem behind them though, as it prepares to reveal the tank at the Russian Arms Expo in September.Developers have already begun boasting that the T-14 is 20 years ahead of anything produced in the West."We made a tank invisible," said Vyacheslav Khalitov, the director of the tank’s manufacturer UralVagonZavod.
"We have applied this system stellz deep-technology radio-absorbing materials, special paint and rational architecture of the machine itself," he told a radio station in Russia.The materials act as a cloaking device and disrupt the infared signals that enemies would use to pinpoint its location.It`s also packed with top-grade military tech including heat-seeking target finders and a remote-control gun turret.
According to Russian sources, the T-14 Armata is expected to go into production in 2018.
