Recently, the Russian company Rostec announced that they are working on improving the firepower performance of the T-14 "Armata" tank. This important information was revealed to RIA Novosti by the general director of the company, Sergei Chemezov. He said that the company will show the public the results of research and development in this field in the near future, which will undoubtedly significantly improve the combat effectiveness and battlefield adaptability of the "Armata" tank. 
Sergei Chemezov praised the T-14 "Armata" tank, which he considered outstanding in that it is equipped with state-of-the-art electronic systems and a next-generation fire control system. As a masterpiece of the new generation of main battle tanks developed in Russia at the beginning of the 21st century, its new 125-mm 2A82-1M smoothbore gun has been carefully designed to achieve technical performance that is claimed to be 20-25% higher than all tank guns in the world. The tank has an unmanned turret design, requires only 3 crew members, and has a turret front armor protection zone made of "cold-resistant" armor. In addition, it is equipped with its own radar and a digital system of combat command, which allows it to operate in extreme climate zones. 
In terms of firepower, the 2A82-1M smoothbore gun of the T-14 "Armata" tank is mainly equipped with a variety of ammunition, including the 3BM69 70 vacuum tail stabilized sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile, the 3VOF128 close-shirt anti-personnel blaster projectile and the 3UBK21 sprinter artillery missile. Among them, the 3BM69 70 vacuum tail stabilized sub-caliber armor-piercing projectile is a new generation of long-rod armor-piercing projectile of the Russian army, which uses depleted uranium or tungsten alloy core. The length of the body of this armor-piercing projectile can reach 900mm, the weight is 11 kg, and the armor-piercing capacity at a distance of 2000 meters exceeds 800mm homogeneous steel. 
However, Russia was not satisfied with the performance of existing artillery. Faced with the pressure of NATO countries to develop 130 or even 140 mm tank guns, Russia decided to replace the "Armata" with a larger caliber 152 mm 2A83 tank gun. This is a 55 times diameter large-caliber smoothbore gun, and the muzzle velocity of the shell can reach an astonishing 2,000 meters per second when firing tail stabilized shelling armor-piercing shells, which is 50% more powerful than the 2A46M 125mm tank gun in service in the Russian army. This will allow the Armata tank to penetrate any main battle tank in service in the world. 
Previously, before the development of "Armata", Russia was developing the "Black Hawk" tank, or the OBJ. also from UralvagonmashProject 195 (T-95 unmanned turret tank) has proven experience in equipping tanks with 152-mm tank guns, so it is not difficult to replace the "Armata" with a more powerful gun if there is a need. 
The T-14 "Armata" tank excels not only in its powerful firepower. In the future, the tank will continue to be upgraded with the addition of an advanced air defense system, which is equipped with a KORD machine gun, which can be controlled by a remote commander or gunner, and is used in conjunction with the 2A83 gun. This innovative design further enhances the tank's overall combat capabilities, making it more deterrent on the battlefield. 
Overall, the T-14 "Armata" tank, as Russia's most advanced main battle tank, has powerful firepower, advanced fire control system and excellent battlefield adaptability. On the battlefield of the future, it will provide the Russian army with more powerful fire support and tactical mobility.
