The T-15 Armata (), with industrial designation "Object 149", is a Russian heavy infantry fighting vehicle first seen in public (initially with its turret covered) in 2015 during rehearsals for the Moscow Victory Day Parade. The T-15 concept of a heavy IFV is derived from design of the BTR-T vehicle (based on the T-55 chassis) that never entered military service. The existing BMP-3M is a completely different vehicle, designed on a light tank chassis and supposed to be succeeded by the Kurganetz-25 platform.
