Of course in that case the enemy will have similar network as well and in matter of minutes the entire Earth orbit will be reduced to ''Clean before proceeding''.

In that case we will see more Pluto like projects.

Small nukes start escalation to big nukes and before you know it, ICBMs are flying en masse.

And reduced ammo capacity, along with reduced barrel life span.

I thought that was a rifled cannon used in feasibility study, thanks for pointing this out.

Not going to happen anytime soon. Armata is designed to take a larger gun eventually, just like Abrams was designed to use a gun larger than 105 mm, but there is no indication that development of 152 even began at this point.

Considering they just finished developing their current generation tank, well anything can happen in the next 20-30 years.
