Soviet study of M113 APC, in general they liked it very much

Simple, cheap, good protection.

And another thing important to those who like history.

1-1 model made in the 1-st half of 70-s of future NATO tank (so called MBT-80).



This was designed to check anti tank weapons in development.

Interesting Soviet Autoloader project for 1+ m rounds

it's I suppose from VNIITransmash
70-s - ealy 80s
maybe has some connection to this -

Concerning shaped charge Beyond-armour effect.
The results of soviet tests in 1968 (development of integrated ERA) using pressure sensors and rabbits. In case of penetration of 115 mm HEAT round inside the testing rig sensors recorded overpressure with an amplitude of 0.4 kg / cm2. Such overpressure can be considered dangerous for humans.

12 March fresh new video here
just so many of good footage,praise the IRINN.IR

so,Karrar MBT aka T-90MS mod 2017 Iranian limited Edition 2.0
Has finally have a bit long TV report,and what is this?

when i see this ‘barrel protective case’ thing，the only thing in my mind is
"NO,T-72I4! It's him! He is Back!"


but after watch the video i pretty sure it's nothing but reference ~
first noticed difference is the ERA kit

Karrar 'ERA kit is smaller, have 6 plate on each slide front
compare to T-90MS 's 4 larger size Relikt ERA

the thickness of the ERA are pretty close so i guess it's just the smaller new Relikt variant

RCWS/Commander panoramic sight Station
huge muzzle brake but it seems just a 7.62mm RCWS，but looks cool

also the sight itself looks a cheaper product compare to T-90MS


Digital map,commanding system and Vehicle information Display 
this is pretty good, Karrar may have the best digital equipment in all Iranian tanks，not even Zulfiqar-3

normal vision channal of the commander sight
 
for the gunner，i noticed something interesting

now this is something new, the Karrar have a whole new gunner sight,so obviously the new gunner sighting system is not simply rip-off from russian
but the really interesting thing is, it keeps the 1K13,which compare to T-90MS removed 1A45 completely and replaced by Sosna-U and a back up sight

why is this?  @Lightning think, that Iran hasn't prepare or able to create their own laser guide coding equipment，if they want to use 9K120 ATGM system,they need keep the 1K13 for laser coding
which i found is a high possibility that could be true

karrar‘s gunner displayer compare to T-90MS

 
let's expect more information of this tank in the future

 
 

Object 640 “Black Eagle” and it’s successors

The “Object 640” also known as a “Black Eagle” was created in 1990-s by the designers of Omsk KBTM (transport machine building bureau). The tank belongs to a new generation and realizes a lot of innovative constructional decisions and arrangement which differs it from all classical Russian and western tanks. The tank uses the new design turret with low frontal profile and detachable transport and loading module. The armor protection of front hull and turret is modular design. The crew is stationed in the hull below the turret ring and completely separated from ammunition and fuel.

We all know, that it was created in 90s without state financing and led to creation of 2 testing vehicles, than the idea of a whole new tank was abandoned as very complex and budget-unfriendly. But this development continued up to end of 2000-s. Several projects were realized like a T-55M6 upgrade with “black Eagle” components (turret bustle autoloader, reactive armor and so on). But state financed “Burlak” project is more interesting project. The only tank with 2 separately functioning autoloader. T-90 tank was upgraded under this project and experimental tank on T-90 chassis was created.


 

 

 


Well, maybe it’s bad translation but give an idea about this design  - http://btvt.info/7english/640a/640.htm

T-64B with panoramic sight -80s -

Hi! Yes of course but don't forget to give a link on my new site )))) You make great pictures )

In the beginning of 60-s cast turrets with composite armor were introduced for T-64, T-64A (later for T-72A and T-80B) which had a significant protection against shaped-charge projectiles and APDS rounds. Such protection provided Soviet tanks with protection superiority over western designed tanks of that time like M60A and “Chieftain”. But in same period of time in the 1-st half of 70-s it became evident, that future development of tank cast turrets has no long term perspectives comparing to welded design. An experimental turret was tested with results published in 1977 special literature.

Armor protection of the tanks of the second postwar generation T-64 (T-64A), Chieftain Mk5P and M60
 
Technical data on soviet 1-st post WW2 generation of tanks, Like T-54, T-55 and T-62 are well known and well described in literature. But what if Soviet “premium” tanks of 70-s era were engaged into real combat against western tanks in Europre.
This article provides description of "Object 432" (T-64) and T-64A tank combined protection (composite armor, anti radiation and chemical protection) in comparison to western designed tanks – “Chieftain” Mk5P and M60A1. Information on T-64 protection includes technical project (presentation) dated 1961 and technical drawings from various periods. Information on “Chieftain” Mk5P and M60A1 tanks is a result of study of captured tanks delivered to USSR in 1970s and beginning of 1980-s, published in technical reports of that period. The importance of information is the common testing criteria based on Soviet approach to tanks testing and protection design. This article contains mostly direct citations of facts and numbers published in reports with some comments.
 
 
Well, suppose this is a useless task.

Prepared a first article in English, but translating this materials is very complex task in question of terms.

Will be grateful is anybody assist in corrections of this material (terms and so on).
