Russia's new heavy IFV T-15 (object 148)

Thanks to DRAGON for the link!





I saw the above images floating around the net a couple of days ago but just dismissed them as more concept art designed to drive people to the guys website...I mean he kinda went crazy with the watermarks!

Dragon however linked to this website and supposedly this is also part of the Armata program!

Confused yet?  I certainly am.  I was under the impression that this was going to be a single family of vehicles that had both wheeled and tracked versions based on the same basic hull.

Now?  I'm not so sure.  They might share components, engines etc..but it looks like we're seeing unique designs for the MBT, IFV, APC and Wheeled APC.
