125mm 2A82M1, 12.7mm Kord MG and 40mm Grenade launcher AGS-17.
AGS-17 and AGS-30 are 30mm grenade launchers. The Balkan is 40mm.
I am not aware of any 57mm grenade launcher must be new design and i doubt we will have it at Parade, maybe later that decade.
I am actually very disappointed that we don't have any APS on the T14 and no anti top-attack APS on the Kurganets and T15. No
Against the most lethal weapons this whole family is going to end as scrap metal. Great job...
the vehicles shown so far are not serial machines... I was under the impression that all vehicles would have standardised systems, weapons, and sensors and that all armatas would have afghanistan APS and all other vehicles will have Standard APS systems.
Where? We've seen the APS on the T15 and Kurganets but nothing on the T14. I doubt that they've placed it only on the turret.
The worst thing is that the APS on the T15 and Kurganets is not able to intercept top attack weapons! Take a look at the APS launchers on the chassis and the turret, not a single one is pointing up, well that's it 360° without top!
On the armata thread TR-1 posted some details and they included that the APS system is reloadable, very advanced, and multishot... perhaps it can aim?
I hope so! But there is no APS against top attack on the T15 and Kurganets...
Of course they will reveal all their secrets at a parade...
Insider specifically mentioned the APS was meant to deal with top attack weapons as well.
Which is as one would expect since the main criticism of ARENA was a lack of ability against top attack munitions.
