The T-14 Armata has been fitted with 'the so-called life support system or, simply speaking, a lavatory.'
The designers behind the Armata system that supports heavy armored vehicles such as the new T-14 tank have now added a toilet, allowing troops to tend to their bodily needs without exposing themselves during battle. Ilya Baranov, the director for Quality and Information Technologies at the Urals Design Bureau of Transport Machine-Building, described the innovation Thursday as a major quality of life improvement for personnel.
"From the very outset, this tank provides this possibility for a crew to perform lengthy combat missions, that is why the so-called life support system or, simply speaking, a lavatory, is available in it," he added. The history of the tank may actually be intertwined with that of the toilet, and not just because modern toilets themselves rely on an entirely different kind of tank to work.
The toilet was not the only feature that made the next-generation T-14 a formidable foe, however. In addition to the various guided, high-powered and air burst ammunition that can be fired by its 125 mm main cannon, the tank has been equipped with remote-controlled Kord-12.7 mm and PK 7.62 mm machine guns. While under enemy fire, the Afghanit active protection system would be activated, capable of intercepting rockets and other anti-tank munitions.
