KUBINKA (Sputnik) – Alexander Shevchenko, head of the ministry’s main vehicles and armor department, said experimental and design work on the three Armata-platform vehicles was continuing.

"The unique character of this work is that more than one sample in the immediate family developed on a single platform is brought into service. If there are positive results from tests in 2017, then the three models will be accepted immediately," Shevchenko said.

The Armata is a Russian prototype of a heavy tracked vehicle platform that will be used as a basis for the construction of a next-generation main battle tank and a range of other combat vehicles.
