Military And Intelligence News Briefs -- March 24, 2015



Sputnik: Russia’s Top-Secret Battle Tank Captured on Video

The first photos of Russia’s top-secret tank have appeared on the Internet. Moreover, the all-new T-14 Armata tanks were captured as they were being transported by rail to a range outside Moscow ahead of the May 9 Victory Day parade on Red Square.

Even though the tanks were partially camouflaged to hide their silhouette and size, the seven-track design was clearly visible.

The tanks apparently feature a new generation 125mm extended-length smoothbore gun.

Also taking part in the May 9 parade in Moscow will be advanced Kurganets 25 and Bumerang tracked armored vehicles, Taifun-U armored cars, Coalitsia-SV self-propelled artillery pieces and Kornet-D missile complexes.
