There was a debate (still not concluded) does Armata has two or three-member crew . From the latest pics , I would say it's just two , although I could be wrong because part of the tank is still covered .We shall see.

It is three man crew, commander and gunner enter through the same hatch.

The current speculation and discussion that is the real question is what solutions they have implemented for cook off's from amunition. Where are the blow out panels, how do they enter the turret for reload and maintenance for repairs and maintenance on battlefield.

(Defensa.com) is scheduled next April 24th French President Francois Hollande and Russian, Vladimir Putin, to coincide in the events taking place in Yerevan for the centenary of the Armenian genocide are met. This was confirmed by the French president on Sunday own speaking at a program of French television. During that meeting they will try to find a solution to the stalled delivery of the two French-made helicopter carrier to Russia.

The Russian president, meanwhile, said last week that the problem of delivery of the vessels "not important" and that the French helicopter carrier deliver waiver would infringe the terms of an agreement, which will mean money back. Recall that France decided to freeze the delivery of the two Mistral helicopter carrier type, Rosoboronexport was hired by 1,200 million euros, the outbreak of the crisis in Ukraine. France and Russia agreed in 2011 to build two helicopter carrier derived from the French Mistral class adapted to the requirements of the Russian Navy, leaving the door open for the construction of two other ships under license in Russia. Although Minsk agreements have been a ceasefire, really clashes have continued at any time, so that the conditions that have to be taken to deliver the ships to which Hollande referred would not have met. Just two days before Hollande and Putin are, Ukrainian President, Petro Poroshenko, will visit Paris to meet with French President.

Last March, the "Sevastopol", the second helicopter carriers for the Russian Navy ship being built by French shipyard DCNS, ended the first sea trials in the presence of staff DCNS, prime contractor, and STX, subcontractor . They boarded the ship around 200 people who could perform three shifts of eight hours continuously. The following tests take place this month April as the ship was scheduled to be delivered to Russia during the last quarter of this year. The first ship, the "Vladivostok" should have been delivered on November 14 last year.

A breach of contract of Mistral class helicopter carrier could result in significant losses to France, plus the return of 890 million euros already paid by Moscow and fined for exceeding the set date of delivery, which increases every week (although be limited to 5% of the total contract value) plus the amount that would require Moscow for the damages incurred, including costs associated with the delivery of Russian shipyards in Saint-Nazaire sailors. The French newspaper L'Opinion 'recently stated that the current situation will cost Paris also 5 million euros per month only with regard to the maintenance and protection of ships, which would remain in France.
