As for why, after knowing the ranking of T- 14, let's look at the strength of other tanks.
As we all know, Russian soldiers were blown over one by one during this period. At present, the armor of all tanks except T-80 in his hand is inconsistent with the declared structure. The actual situation is in line with the production capacity of some key materials during the Cold War. For example, the body armor promoted by T-72B is 80mmha+140mm FRP +4 layers of 25mm homogeneous steel gap armor +80mm constrained ceramic composite armor+140mm FRP, which can be said to be very thick. But when blasting, it was found that the actual situation was only 140mm FRP +3 layers of 25mm slit armor +80mm backboard. Turrets and car bodies are not made of oxidized ceramics, but filled with quartz sand, which is more than twice as low as advertised. The car body of T-72B is used in T-90, and T- 14 is also the product of Ural Factory, the manufacturer of T-72. This factory used to produce only Soviet low-end tanks, and its main business was tractors. You can guess the technology that T- 14 can use.
In fact, the T-80 is equipped with Russia's only ceramic composite armor. It should be noted that the ceramic material here is not the ceramic used in our pots and pans, but a special ceramic material after metal crystallization. It looks like a special alloy with certain ductility and elasticity. The production technology is extremely demanding. Even the relatively low-end special tool materials for cutting metal were patented products of the United States and Japan before 20 10, and now only the United States, Japan, Germany and Britain can produce them. Among them, Germany and China are all technologies transferred by the United States, with Germany at a higher level, reaching the military level, and China at the civilian level. Soviet ceramic armor is no exception. Its production equipment is American goods from Haitao, a semi-neutral non-NATO country. Not only is the output extremely low, but the configuration of T-80 is also uneven. The equipment itself can only produce small pieces of raw materials for cutting tools, and its performance is not as good as that of oxidized ceramics for armor in the west. Even some T-80 glass fiber reinforced plastic constrained ceramic balls are only 1/3 of the design density, and there are loopholes everywhere. Going to war is equivalent to. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the United States bought back equipment from Ukraine at a high price in the name of support, completely depriving Russia and its neighboring countries of the ability to produce ceramic composite armor. In addition, the industrial center of the Soviet Union is on the Baltic Sea and the Black Sea coast, where all major equipment is produced. The factories in the Soviet Union, Russia and China mainly produce mobilization equipment. At the same time, they have some factories for the production of aircraft parts and nuclear weapons, but they have no production capacity for the core components of the main equipment. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, the production capacity of high-end equipment fell to Poland, Romania and Ukraine, and the Ural factory in Russia could not even build a high-end chassis. T-series firepower is even worse. According to the Soviet Union's own test results, its main armor-piercing projectiles 3BM42 and 3BM60 can't even penetrate the monkey armor of T-72, and their performance is at least three times worse than that of the similar American weapon M829. T- 14 152mm main gun is an old product for self-propelled artillery produced by Ural Factory. It was once used as an anti-tank gun. It has a lot of equipment in Romania and Lithuania, and it is not a new product, and its firepower is not stronger than the current 125mm2A46.
In addition, the so-called digitization level of all vehicles in Moscow is extremely low. Due to the limited quantity, even civilian products can't buy the best in Russia. Thermal camera and remote control sight are both computer city equipment. Without data link and digital information system, communication still depends on roar. T- 14 is essentially a general-purpose heavy-duty chariot chassis+various remote control turrets, with a unified turntable specification, which is the same as the current T-72 in Russia. At the same level of technology, Russia and Africa are basically at the same level, and basic industries (such as mining and steelmaking) are relatively better.
On the other hand, as mentioned above, Poland is one of the production and research bases of the main equipment in the Soviet front. After the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it still produced and improved the main weapons of the Soviet Union in technology, which was no better than that of Russia. Some people who think that Poland didn't build tanks obviously don't know much about the Soviet Union. Poland is now a member of the European Union and NATO, and is no longer a red and white muscle ball in the belly of the Soviet Union. After joining the European Union, Poland's per capita GDP is twice as high as that of Russia, and it is also technically enjoyed by Europe for free. The equipment it produces has been very digital. PL0 1 is a fully digital tank, and even the turret steering gear is equipped with gears to accelerate. Coupled with its unique radar infrared stealth ability, the survival rate, reaction speed, attack accuracy and situational awareness are all seconds. Russia doesn't know how many China-Europe railways there are. As for some people who doubt its invisibility, the invisible shell pendant of German Leopard 2 Revolution and Boxer's armored vehicle was directly purchased from Poland, which naturally passed strict tests and proved its effectiveness. Modern warfare pays attention to the speed of reaction and the level of investigation. If you can't see it, you can't attack it And P L0 1 is equipped with the fire system of Leopard 2. Although Germany's RH 120 and DM53 can't reach the unprecedented level of killing gods of M 1A2, it is not a problem to surpass Russia twice. War is not like a game in which the mouse is less than 500 meters away from the other side, and there is no name on the other side's head to help you show your position. As long as the ability of reconnaissance and concealment is slightly poor, it will lead to the difference between 1 and 0.
Russian believers should also keep their eyes open and realize that the idea of Russian weapon system in the19th century has already fallen behind the times, and it is impossible to improve the performance by blowing.
