American M1A2 MBT Vs Russian T-14 Armata
American M1A2 and Russian T-1414 are known as the world's most deadliest tanks in this time, here is their short comparison.
The M1A2 is armed with a manually-loaded 120 mm smoothbore gun. The tank has modern fire control system with high first round hit probability.
The Abrams is operated by a crew of 4, including commander gunner and driver.
Unique feature of the Abrams tank is its gas turbine engine. It is a multi-fuel engine, which can run on any grade of petrol, diesel, aviation fuel or kerosene. The engine has impressive performance and is running silent. However it is troublesome to maintain and has very high fuel consumption comparing with traditional diesel engines.
The Armata has an unmanned turret and is operated by a crew of 3. It is in line with Russian tank-building concept, that the tank should be operated by a smaller crew in order to reduce its dimensions and weight and improve protection. However this new tank has new layout. All crew members are seated at the front of the hull in a well protected armored capsule. The gun is loaded automatically and ammunition is separated from the crew compartment.
∆.Protection system of both tanks
The Abrams is one of the most protected tanks in the world. It uses composite armor, reinforced with depleted uranium armor mesh. Also it can mount add-on explosive reactive armor. The tank is well protected against most known anti-tank weapons.
Also the Abrmas tanks are fitted with countermeasures system, which interrupts infra red and laser guidance of anti-tank missiles.
The Russian Armata uses newly-developed base armor, made of steel, ceramics and composite materials. Also the Armata has a new Malakhit add-on explosive reactive armor that is claimed to be of new generation. Protection level of the Armata tank remains classified. It might be one of the most protected tanks in the world.
∆. Guns
The Abrams is armed with a 120 mm/L44 smoothbore gun. Even though it is not the most advanced tank gun available on the market today, it packs a formidable punch. It is accurate and has a range of effective fire in excess of 4 km. Its effective range was successfully demonstrated during numerous military conflicts throughout the world. It have hunter-killer engagement capability too.
The Russian Armata is armed with a new 125 mm smoothbore gun. It has longer range and can target any tank size thing or low flying helicopters in 5km range. But it is not battle tested yet.
∆. Engine
The American Abrams tanks are powered by a gas turbine engine, developing 1500 hp. Basically it is a modified helicopter engine, that can be operated by multi-fuel.Its mobility is well proven in other lands.
The Russian Armata is powered by a new turbocharged diesel engine, developing 1200 hp. It is a new generation engine but not battle tested. It is better than other Russian tank engines but have disadvantages due to some technical faults.
so in short,
American Abrams have some miner disadvantages in range but T-14 is less capable in engine technology.
