Previously, the T-15 platform had been fitted with a combat module having a 30 mm cannon and Kornet ATGW system with two subsonic missiles. In this configuration, for instance, the vehicle had been demonstrated at the Victory Parade.

Armata is a heavy standardized platform on whose basis the Uralvagonzavod Corporation has created the T-14 heavy tank, T-15 heavy combat vehicle, and T-16 maintenance and evacuation armored vehicle. It is expected that based on the Armata platform other vehicles will be built, for instance, a transporter-loader, mine planter, and bridge layer.
