MOSCOW: Russia has unveiled its most powerful and sophisticated tank for the first time since the end of the Cold War.
According to details, the T-14 Armata appeared in public for the first time yesterday, rumbling down a Moscow avenue on its way to Red Square.
The tank was taking part in final rehearsals for the Victory Day parade on Saturday, where it be the highlight of celebrations marking the 70th anniversary of the victory over Nazi Germany.
Some 200 pieces of military hardware and 16,500 troops will take part in all.
The tank is also the first to have an internal armoured capsule to give added protection for its three-man crew.
The Russian Defense Ministry last month released a few photographs of the tank, but its turret was covered with fabric and only the platform was visible.
Yesterday was the first time the tank was shown uncovered.
