The T-99 "Armata" Universal Combat Platform is a Russian fourth-generation main battle tank. Russian officials claim that the "Armata" combat platform will utilize many feature of the T-95 tank, of which only few prototypes have been built. The ammunition storage will be separated from the crew, increasing operational safety. Additionally the engine will be more powerful and the armor, main gun and autoloader will be improved. It apparently will be in service around 2015. In spite of this, however, current tanks in service, such as the T-72, T-80 and T-90 will be upgraded to extend their service lifetimes.

There are also plans to develop a heavy IFV, a Engineering Vehicle, a Heavy Armored Personal Carrier and a Tank Support Combat Vehicle under the same codename based on the same chassis, though at this moment no additional information is available.

Name of this tank (or more correctly "perspective family of heavy unified battlefield platforms" - "перспективный ряд тяжёлых унифицированных платформ поля боя") "Armata" is derived from Latin word "arma" (weapon) and was old russian word for first guns. Inevitably this was wrongly transcribed as "Armada" by journalists.
