Default Russian T-14 tank has officially blown its cover

OK, so we have the first official pictures of the T-14 Armata platform MBT and some images of the BMP based on the same platform.

We have seven road wheels instead of six, a boxier hull at the front, but most telling is the turret. Rumoured to have an unmanned turret with the commander and driver in the hull, as can be seen in this photo. The turret seems a massive departure from traditional Russian design. Obviously taking pains to hide what could be a sensor array or gun turret. Unfortunately there is little forth coming on the net. I will however be watching the 9th May Victory parade and getting as good a look as possible.

Here is a link to the Moscow Times article.
