T-72B1 Russian tank

Russia's military has a new tank that it claims can outgun the US' Abrams, but that's just one of many it has in its arsenal.

Moscow unveiled its T-14 Armata battle tank in 2015, and it has since a caught a lot of attention from the west.

It reportedly has a 125mm smoothbore cannon, and could possibly one day get a 152mm gun that fires low-yield nuclear shells, according to Task and Purpose.

Still, the Armata won't be ready until at least 2019, which means that other designs, like the T-72B3 and T-80U, still make up the majority of Russia's roughly 2,700 tank fleet.

Here's what Russia has right now.
