Super tank T-14 Armata will soon be able to automatically reload extremely fast
The new series of ammunition equipped on the T-14 Armata super tank will be integrated with QR (quick response) codes to help the reloading process take place very quickly.
According toRBTHThis QR code is completely invisible to the naked eye but supports the electronic warfare system on the T-14 Armata tank, which can "read" it automatically to have a suitable combat plan before the bullet is even loaded.

“Previously, this process had to be done manually by one of the soldiers sitting on the tank. However, the tank’s turret was always the main target of the enemy, so the soldiers sitting on the tank could be in danger during the action.
However, now the turret will not need to be operated by a human and will operate fully automatically. Meanwhile, the tank drivers will be guaranteed safety when sitting in a special sealed armored “capsule” to control the entire tank system,” a military source shared withRBTH.
Specifically, the artillery shell identification system will read QR codes like barcode readers in stores or supermarkets. However, the QR code on each round of shells will be encrypted to ensure it cannot be tampered with or changed.
“Each salvo will have a unique matrix code that cannot be faked or intercepted” even if an error occurs during the operation. This salvo will be “reprocessed” according to the correct procedure,”RBTHciting information from a military source.
The T-14 Armata's shell identification system has been developed to operate well in all battlefield conditions. Kalashnikov Concern, the shell developer, said it is also focusing on increasing the accuracy of the T-14 Armata's cannons by 20% compared to cannons on enemy tanks./.
