Damian90 Posted May 22, 2018 Author Share Posted May 22, 2018 It is possible yes. Truth to be told there was no unification of armor in Soviet tanks and armor package could differ even during the same production year batches. Of course there are more variants, we have T-80U, T-80U (45M), T-80UE, T-80UK, T-80UE-1, T-80UD, then we have T-84 series. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian90 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 https://ria.ru/arms/20180730/1525561724.html Well it seems first they say they won't purchase Su-57's because they are "too good", now it seems the same fate faces the "Armata", "Boomerang" and most likely "Kurganets". What is funny however is how their idiotic propaganda try to camouflage a fact that Russian economy is in bad condition and they simply have no money to afford these new vehicles. Let's face it, officialy production and purchases will be postponed, in reality it will be cancellation as production will never restart. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damian90 Posted July 30, 2018 Author Share Posted July 30, 2018 Very probable that only small series will be made, for example what was builded till today, and used only for propaganda and parades, and nothing more will be produced. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marko Posted July 31, 2018 Share Posted July 31, 2018 (edited) From what i have read the T-90/ T-72B3/4 will be the primary tanks of the Russian army For the foreseeable future. I do think the Russian arms industry will try to export some of there newer designs. So they can maintain low rate production. they mite even sell /licence some designs to china as a way of generating revenue They have done so in the past. The videos is a couple of years old but it gives a insight in to Russia's deployment strategies Edited July 31, 2018 by Marko 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damian90 Posted August 11, 2018 Author Share Posted August 11, 2018 http://gurkhan.blogspot.com/2018/08/15-564.html So it seems that Russians more and more talk about "Armata", "Kurganets" and "Boomerang" ceased production, this time, heavy IFV T-15 based on "Armata" chassis, will be replaced by... T-72B based BMO-T APC that will be upgraded. Also on Gur Khan blog we can read, that there are informations leaking about some unspecified problems with "Armata" and other new vehicles detected during tests. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damian90 Posted October 25, 2018 Author Share Posted October 25, 2018 http://btvt.info/2futureprojects/490_21vek.htm Something that will interest everyone, very unusual Object 490B "Belka" prototype tank designed by KMDB in 1980's by Evgeni Morozov, son of Alexander Morozov.

Kev2go Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 (edited) so how much would the T90 Welded turret be improved over say a T80UD welded style turret any ideas on conposition material or rough guesstimate how many more MM of protection it would have improvements. Can M829A3 penetrate the main Turret armor ( Kotact 5 sure is bypassed) given its improvements over the T80UD welded turret?

Damian90 Posted November 21, 2018 Author Share Posted November 21, 2018 Both welded turrets for T-90A and T-80UD/T-84 are developed from the same general NII Stali welded turret design. However special armor inside is different, T-90A uses NERA arrays, while welded turret for T-80UD/T-84 uses metal/ceramic/metal arrays. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damian90 Posted June 28, 2019 Author Share Posted June 28, 2019 (edited) https://военное.рф/2019/ФорумАрмия64/ So it seems that during Army 2019, Anatoly Tarnayev, chief engineer at Plant no.9 in Yekaterinburg (this plant developes large calliber artillery weapons), said that all research and development work on 152mm high pressure smoothbore tank gun 2A83 had been... cancelled. T-14 MBT's will be armed only with 125mm smoothbore gun 2A82. Edited June 28, 2019 by Damian90 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panzer_Leader Posted June 28, 2019 Share Posted June 28, 2019 This recent post from Australian Strategic Policy Institute (ASPI) refers to Russian strategic analysis linking achievement of Russian strategic goals to fundamental reform of its economy: https://www.aspistrategist.org.au/russias-strategic-priorities-viewed-from-within/ A courageous call in today’s political environment but also borne out to a degree in this thread and preceding posts. At least, I linked the two in my mind. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Ssnake Posted July 10, 2021 Members Share Posted July 10, 2021 Not in the configuration that I remember. Yes, it's bristling with an abundancy of guns, but if you don't have radar guidance and airburst munitions, I'd remain skeptical. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
