Now why are the Russians coming up with a new tank at this time I
wonder?



In that case why is it described as an armoured troop carrier?

It isn't. You don’t have a gun like that on an armoured troop carrier.

That is something completely different to the T-14


The why is the picture titled:-
Showing off: Kurganets-25 Armored Personnel Carrier will go on display
at Saturday's parade


Pity about all the other pictures before it labelled T-14 tank.

What exactly am I missing?


Everything, as always.


How do *you* differentiate between a tank and a armoured personnel
carrier?


A main battle tank has a ****ing great gun that sticks out quite a bit in
front of it.

A self propelled howitzer has a quite different gun and is still nothing
like an APC gun wise.
