The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines
Jim Warford replied to T___A's topic in Mechanized Warfare
As was discussed previously on this site, the two most important things to keep secret about secret things are not revealing how much you actually know, and the source of what you actually know. Open sources like IDR and Jane's don't always get it right...over the years, they have provided some very good open source info, but they're not all-knowing. Here again, is the previously confidential pic of the T-80 from 1979...2 years before the IDR article. Who knows what the "West" knew at higher and higher levels of classification?- 5,188 replies

Interestingly enough, the photos shown here in the famous IDR article are from the French delegation visit in October 1977, a month before the T-72's first appearance in Red Square...and over a year after the T-64A was first spotted in East Germany in September 1976. The article confirmed that the US and NATO had incorrectly labeled the T-64A, as the T-72.- 5,188 replies

Another bit of info regarding the T-14 Armata from 2016... The producer is “considering” a tank variant armed with a 152mm cannon referred to as a “Heavy Assault Armored Vehicle” dubbed “The Tank Killer” by Russian media. According to the producer’s Deputy Director: “The 152mm caliber is pretty effective and doesn't require special ammo to deal with armor. A 152mm shell's kinetic energy is high enough to just blow a turret away. So this is a promising direction and we are considering it.”

The reality of the T-14 Armata is that it's the result of the long-standing Soviet/Russian desire to have a 152mm-armed tank. While it's unlikely that the entire fleet of T-14s (if there ever is a fleet), will be 152mm-armed versions, a number of 152mm-armed tanks deployed as tank destroyers is very possible. So, we might have two variants of the Armata; one 125mm-armed MBT and a "heavy" 152mm-armed tank destroyer. I remember reading somewhere that the Russians feel that a 152mm main gun should be able to physically defeat the target tanks structure...not necessarily penetrating the armor, but defeating the tank by brute force. Here are a couple of quotes... http://izvestia.ru/news/586485 (Translation) “Russian tank-based armored “Armata” demonstrated at the parade in honor of the 70th anniversary of the Victory in the Great Patriotic War in the future will get a new gun caliber 152 mm (2A83). We have to do with the outfit of the tank, which burns meter steel, will put on the “Armata” said, “Izvestia” in charge of the military-industrial complex Deputy Prime Minister Dmitry Rogozin. In the parade were demonstrated tanks with a gun caliber 125 mm. Such tanks are first made available to the Ministry of Defense. But in subsequent batches will be a more powerful weapon.” http://www.irk.kp.ru/daily/26381.4/3259466/ (Translation) “The gun already exists. It was developed in the framework of development work on the tank "Object 195", many know him as the T-95. Now I can even tell you the brand of the gun - 2A83. It has been successfully tested, including new types of ammunition.”

T-80 Megathread: Astronomical speed and price!
Jim Warford replied to Vasily Krysov's topic in Mechanized Warfare
One of the first good photos of a T-80BV to be released by the US/NATO back in the old days. When it first appeared, the story I heard was that in this particular case, a Soviet GSFG soldier wanted to show his girlfriend his tank...and allowed her to take photos of him in the driver seat. There is another version of this photo out on the Net with the boyfriend's face blocked-off. I can only imagine that there was hell to pay when this photo hit the street... -
