This looks like a depressing thread, where users talk about other tanks.
I will just make a huge post of what this entire thread is missing which is to talk about the specs of the tank itself.
«Армата» против «Леопарда»: новый русский танк превзойдет все мировые аналоги - В начале года Минобороны получит первую партию из 12-16 танков нового поколения «Армата». Эти машины придут на смену сразу трем основным танкам российской армии: Т-72, Т-80 и Т-90.

“On "Armata", as well as on the
T-50 fighter, the latest radar station with an active phased antenna array (AFAR) will be installed. There are no such solutions on any tank in the world. The system is capable of simultaneously leading up to 40 dynamic and up to 25 aerodynamic targets, controlling territory within a radius of 100 kilometers and automatically destroying targets up to 0.3 meters in size. Thanks to the presence of AFAR, Armata is positioned as a universal ground attack machine, which includes a full-fledged tactical missile system, an anti-aircraft defense system, an army reconnaissance and target designation complex, and the tank itself.”
The nearest line for intercepting missiles, shells or rocket-propelled grenades is 15-20 meters, and the maximum speed for intercepting armor-piercing subcaliber shells is 1700 m / s. In the future, it is planned to install an even more advanced Barrier protection system on Armata. It will already be able to intercept targets flying at speeds from 2500 to 3000 m / s.”

“Target hit range - 7000-8000 m” For laser systems
Armata tanks will be equipped with reconnaissance drones to ensure all-around scanning of the terrain for the crew
www.pravdareport.com
“The drone was called "Pterodactyl." The new lightweight UAVs is made of composite materials to ensure its durability and lightness. The cable-powered drone will be able to fly around the tank in a radius of 50-100 meters. It will also be able to ascend in the air for tens of meters. The portable radar and thermal night vision device will serve as the eyes of the "Pterodactyl."
Anyone can go use this for the radars.

https://en.topwar.ru/164860-tankovyj-kompleks-upravljaemogo-vooruzhenija-sokol-v.html I have heard one of the latest Sprinter ATGM has a 12km range, maybe the range of this new ATGM will be longer.
Коллега Gur Khan attacks! разместил в своем блоге небезынтересный материал 2А82 - супер пушка для Арматы про новую 125-мм танковую пушку 2А82, устанавливаемую на перспективных российских танках Т-14 (Объект 148) на платформе Армата. Опытный образец…

“A 152mm caliber 2A83 gun was planned to arm the promising Russian T-95 tank, which had just begun to be developed in those years. But the 2A82 125mm caliber was intended for completely different purposes. Namely, for the modernization of tanks of previous models. It was assumed that it would easily fall into place of the familiar 2A46 (D-81), in the worst case, with a slight refinement of the fighting compartments of the T-72, T-80 and T-90 tanks.
The 2A82 tank gun with an auto-bonded and partially chromed barrel uses all existing 125 mm ammunition and new promising ammunition. In particular, the BPS "Vacuum-1" (tungsten), "Vacuum-2" (uranium) 900 mm long, OFS "Telnik" with an explosion on the trajectory and the 3UBK21 Sprinter rocket. For this, the chamber part of the barrel channel is made with an additional forward taper section offset forward to pinch the leading belt of the projectile being charged. During the development, the possibility of placing serial tanks in the combat departments was taken into account.”

“Russia claims the 2A82 can pierce the equivalent of one meter of Rolled Homogenous Armor (RHA) at 2 kilometers using its new Vacuum-1 APFSDS round, which has a 0.9 meter long penetrator. If this claim is accurate, this would pose a real threat to top Western main battle tanks even at medium combat ranges”
Just looking at the Svinets-2 for being a uranium round had 90mm more penetration depth than the Svinets-1 which consists of Tungsten so there might be a possibility that the Vacuum-2 can go deeper.
“Apparently, the projectile for high-power guns in its appearance will be similar to other representatives of its class. He will receive a core of large elongation, equipped with a ballistic cap and armor-piercing damper in the head, as well as a stabilizer of a relatively small caliber. Earlier it was reported that the shells "Grifel-1" and "Grifel-2" will be equipped with cores of tungsten and uranium. At the same time, there are no data on the parameters of armor penetration of new shells.
According to various estimates, based on caliber and estimated energy indicators, "Slate" can penetrate at least 1000-1200 mm of homogeneous armor with an optimal angle of impact. However, there is evidence of some characteristic problems in the development of such ammunition. Due to certain objective limitations, the efficiency of the use of shot energy in 152-mm guns may be lower than in systems of a smaller caliber. Whether it will be possible to cope with such problems and make full use of the energy reserve of the propellant charge is unknown.”
I am hearing stories about these Grifel rounds having more than 1 meter penetration depth claims from a 152mm canon, so this might be a useful reference to the armata having a 152mm canon.

Title seems self explanatory although I don't think it would hurt for others to atleast post source references even if they are talking about other tanks other than the one on this thread.

Relikt has 1100–1300mm VS KEP. The Malachite will probably offer more or less protection than this. The claims for relikt armor are based on having 50% more protection than Kontact-5
Tank comes with additional protect with a 900mm vs RHA capsule.
While much has been written about the T-14 Armata’s layout and armament, the Afghanit active protection system, or APS, utilized on the Armata also contains many innovations and even some systems that have never been seen on an APS before. The issue with many APS on Russian and Soviet tanks...

claims of having lower infrared signature and lower RCS on radar.
A Russian defense firm that produces the brand-new Armata T-14 tank also plans to build an army of new combat robots within the next two years. This would be a next step towards machines guided by artificial intelligence, the manufacturer says.

“Uralvagonzavod, the company that introduced the ‘super tank’ Armata T-14 back in May, is now trying to step away from piloted military technologies and is eager to develop artificial intelligence.
"We will be able to show prototypes in 1.5 to 2 years. We are gradually moving away from crewed machines," Vyacheslav Khalitov, the company’s deputy director general, said Tuesday.
As an example, he noted that the Armata now requires three crew members.
“Then it will be two and then without them at all,” Khalitov said.”
