OFFICIAL WIRE (MOSCOW) - Four-star General of the Army Nikolai Makarov, Russia's current chief of armaments, looks forward to a breakthrough in tank building soon. In 2009 the Russian army will get a new tank - the T-95 -- far superior to existing models. This is an entirely new battle tank, with new running gear, power plant, armaments, fire control, reconnaissance and target identification facilities. Russia's is the only army in the world using two types of main battle tank: the gas turbine T-80 -- T80U -- and the diesel-powered tank T-90 -- T-90S. The T-95 is currently undergoing tests, which the army expects to complete this year. The army anticipates that its adoption for service will bring the long-awaited unification to this sphere.
