This year's parade featured the T-14 tank, Kurganets-25 series armoured fighting vehicles and the Bumerang armoured personnel carrier. We judge that all three systems represent significant improvement over their predecessors.<\/p>
The T-14 will have improved projectile performance; a gun launched anti-tank guided missile capability and increased crew survivability.<\/p>
The T-14, Kurganets-25 and Bumerang will have the new and improved Epoch remote controlled turret. Advanced defensive aid suites are likely to be common to all new vehicle types.<\/p>
