T-14 Armata

[Husar]

Why do you think the non-MBT Armata will have similar defensive capacities to the MBT? It takes more than MBT-grade suspension, tracks, and active protection...

It seems that Armata heavy IFV has similar level of protection as Armata main battle tank.

The Armata is one of the most protected, if not the most protected IFV in the world. It seems that in terms of protection it is superior to most heavy armored personnel carrier and heavily-armored vehicles such as German Puma IFV.
It has been reported that it has newly-developed armor, made of steel, ceramics and composite materials. Also it has been reported that Armata has a Malakhit add-on explosive reactive armor of new generation. A front-mounted engine provides additional protection. As usual this armored vehicle is fitted with NBC protection and automatic fire suppression systems. It has been reported that it will be fitted with new Afganit active protection system. It seems that it also has a new countermeasures system that reduces the chance of being hit by enemy ATGW with semi-automatic guidance.
Due to its superior armor protection the Armata heavy IFV can carry infantry into battle and provide direct fire support on modern battlefield. It can be deployed on the battlefield alongside Armata tanks, not behind them. Recent conflicts revealed that in combat IFVs are usually kept in a safe distance from enemy firing line due to their vulnerability to anti-tank weapons.

However, the Armata IFV will not be the new mainstream IFV and more likely be a vehicle for specialist/elite troops (also mentioned in the link).

The Kurganets-25 is more likely to take over the more mainstream tasks: http://www.military-today.com/apc/kurganets_25.htm

The Kurganets-25 IFV has a modular armor with add-on modules. Protection level can be tailored to counter specific threats. It seems that this vehicle can be fitted with newly-developed Drozd-2 active protection system. Also is seems that it comes with newly developed countermeasures system, the reduces the chance of being hit by enemy ATGW with semi-automatic guidance.

Not that military today is 100% reliable but I don't think Kage made that up.
