Is the BMPT Armata even confirmed?

If it is for the UAE perhaps they are giving up the amphibious capability for a better positioned engine and improved entry exit arrangement.
"Hero", "Derivation", "Dragoon" - supernovae RAE-2015
It was possible to see and get information on new machines created in the "Kurganmashzavod" (Corporation "Tractor Plants"). Unfortunately, I have no right to publish the fact that we managed to get, but I assure the right word, it is very impressive!
I generally like BMP-3, and I believe that its potential is far from being discovered. What CMH show exhibitions - one more proof of that.
And now briefly ... "Knight" - BMP-3 with a new MSAs are available, an appropriate name - "Hero". Some developments which, albeit on paper, but still have already been presented at the previous exhibition RAE-2013. Let me remind you of them:
"Derivation" - a BMP-3 with remote-controlled weapon stations, equipped with 57mm automatic cannon SU-220M. Angles pumping vertical: -5 ... +60 degrees. The AZ 80 shots, and the total BC - 200. Ardent greetings UKBTMovtsam their BMPT! Personally, I whined and moaned about the need for 57mm machine with high elevation angles since 2002 - since the first show BMPT. And so it happened, but, unfortunately, not Tagil! There is clearly Kurgan machine builders are getting ahead. It should be said also about the JMA - a campaign to "derivation" is the same panorama as a "biathlon" T-72B4. Actually, personally I got the impression that if you give the task to design a forward-looking CMH tank, we get something better "Almaty was" in much more quickly. "Dragoon" - is generally pestnya! Nothing is going to talk about it right now, but as soon as I saw him, and proyachital TTX, the first question that arose in my mind: "If there is a" Dragoon ", the second tries ... then need a" Kurganets "?" Actually, if you remember the year my publications for the past two or three, where I have repeatedly criticized the "promising platform," make sure that I was right again! I would venture to suggest that native IO, "Dragoon" will not take - purely out of principle even if (they wanted a "Kurganets" - and they got it), but for export, "Dragoon" will fly away like hot cakes! Of course the car is still not quite ready to sample, but after a year or maximum two, it is quite possible to put on a series of sheikhs and ship - the latter will be very pleased to receive such a "toy" !!!

Can someone tell me a bit more about this gun ?? From the design it looks like an autocannon.
It looks bigger than a 30mm though. Can it be the 76 mm autocannon that everyone has been talking about ??
