The T-15 Barbaris (Russian: T-15 Барбарис) with industrial designation "Object 149" is a Russian heavy infantry fighting vehicle first seen in public (initially with its turret covered) in 2015 during rehearsals for the Moscow Victory Day Parade. The T-15 is expected to replace the BMP-2 and MT-LB based platforms of the Russian Ground Forces.[1]
Design modifier
Armament modifier
The T-15 features the Epoch Remote Control Turret with its 2A42 30 mm auto cannon, a 7.62 mm coaxial PKT[2] and a bank of two Kornet-EM anti-tank guided missiles on either side.[3]
Mobility modifier
Like the T-14, the T-15 is based on the Armata Universal Combat Platform, but unlike the T-14 it has its engine in the front.[1]
Protection modifier
Like the T-14, the T-15 is protected by reactive armour[4] and an Afghanit (Russian: Афганит) active protection system.[1] While the T-14 has its Afghanit launch tubes at the base of its turret, the T-15 has them arrayed along the top sides of its hull.[1]
