pics of 1200 I've got so far https://cloud.mail.ru/public/5DUi/5UpuLNoCY including those drawings: It seems like they were aware of Cadillac Gage Commando and Panhard EBR- 5,212 replies

The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines
skylancer-3441 replied to T___A's topic in Mechanized Warfare
From otvaga forum - another picture - from the same source, I guess (some ppt file) ...it seems to be distorted -
One may also remember this render: and this one too: or just usual arrangement in Stryker with antimine seats: so - it seems to me like there is now a driver, than 1 person behind him, than 5 seats for dismounts on the left side, 1 person on the right side behind engine compartment, and 4 seats for dismounts behind him and this passageway is gone - well, not that empty anymore, to be precise and btw it seems like they removed this hatch:

It seems to me that Waronline does not allows unregistered users to see attachments in full scale, only prewiews which are downsized to width of 100 pix, so - could someone please reupload that to Imgur or smth?

NGCV CFT panel at AUSA 2018 /I'm kinda curious as to what those people had to say when they heard about T-15 with 57mm/
-
Apparently both Stykers - A1 30mm and other one with MCAS turret - were displayed at AUSA with their ramps open, so visitors coud've seen what's inside but for some reason it's rather hard to find photos with rear-ends of those vehicles, let alone (proper) photos of their interriors

to best of my ability

from this twitter post from this twitter post and another one and photo of what appears to be some other version of Stryker
-
and from this page http://achatespower.com/achates-power-and-cummins-develop-leap-ahead-capability-for-the-us-army-ground-combat-fleet/ some info on this engine:
-
https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20181008005240/en/AeroVironment-General-Dynamics-Land-Systems-Join-Forces also from twitter: . /well, this thing is even more interesting than my (wrong) guess about MCAS/ and this collage:
-
it seems to me that MCAS turrret was described there as one "with embedded growth to 50mm". So, maybe they will show this turret with Bushmaster III?
-
slightly different version

https://forum.snipershide.com/threads/modern-day-marine-2018-updated-with-day-3-pictures.6904078/ some user uploaded bunch of photos made at that MDM-2018 exhibition /unfortunatelly, full-scale photos are available only to users of that snipershide forum, and also for some reason i was unlucky in my attempt to make an acount there/

AFAIK there are no chart in (that part of) Kostenko's book, just those two numbers Well, there is a problem of collateral damage. Soviet Army did not recieve about 6,5 thousand revolutionary tanks - that's only untill end of 1970 (probably several thousands more in 1970-1975), and also It took allmost 10 years utill T-72 appeared in production - so by the time T-72 was in production, and T-64 was finally working, kind of, - well, Leningrad, Chelyabinsk and Kharkov design bureaus were designing (if i'm not mistaken, for allmost half a decade already) another revolutionary generation of tanks. (which never entered production, just like another one after that, and another one after that... all the way untill now) (Alternate History scenario on US soil and with infantry carrying vehicles: Sheridan-based version of "austere MICV" enters production in early 70s, and they make several thousand of those, instead of some of M113s, or whatever. And than Bradley as we know it enters production in early 80s just like in real life, but with planned production numbers cut in half, so about 4500 instead of 9000. Nothing else is changed, and of course ASM, than FCS, and finally GCV ends just like IRL.) (one can draw parallels to actual soviet situation with not 2 but 3 new tanks by adding to this - a production of couple of thousand Bradleys with GT-601 gas turbine engine (expected to cost $250k each in 1987 in mass-production, according to "The nearly engine" book, page 151) instead of diesel)
-
according to Kostenko /Yuri Kostenko's book "Tanks (tactics, equipment, economics)"/ - allmost 3 times as expensive (824 thousand roubles including 104 thousand for gas turbine, vs 280 thousand) and he also gave numbers for some sort of "military technology level" - 1.25 for T-80U and 1.15 for T-72B
