T-95
Encyclopedia : T : T9 : T95 : T-95
The T-94 or T-95 is a prototype main battle tank, currently in development in the Russian Federation. Most information about this tank is speculative. The tank is said to be of a novel design, with a very large smooth bore tank gun of approximately 152 mm calibre, in a remotely-controlled mount. Such an arrangement increases crew survivability, because the crew compartment is separated from the ready ammunition supply, and would be completely hidden when the tank is in a hull-down position. The crew will number just 3, all being carried within the hull itself.
Historically, Russian tanks are given official designations when they are adopted for production, so even the name T-95 is speculative. The actual current GABTU code of the vehicle appears to be Obiekt 195 (Russian: Объект 195).
The current status of this project is unknown, it is possible that it has been frozen due to lack of funds and limited interest in the radically new design in the current geo-political situation.
