    Yes, but Wiedzmin's plans are for Arjun Mk.II/IA not Mk.I

    The bustle ammo rack is isolated, it is using system known as CABIS- Containerised Ammunition Bin (with) Individual Shutter, rest of the ammo is also placed in CABIS derived fireproof containers.

    It will replace the BRDM-2 with Malyutka, in service with 14th anti-tank artillery regiment which is part of the rocket and artillery forces, so the answer is artillery, at least for that unit.

    Those are BTR-3s, they don't have/use cage armor usually (to be honest i never saw a pic of a BTR-3 with cage armor, so i don't think they use it at all) BTR-4s on the other hand do use it extensively, you can see it in the background and it has screens on the turret attached

    Well, we have first "combat" footage of the T-90M in Ukraine, if we are to believe the vid description this was taken near Izyum.

    true that, he was complaining that he can't move the gun but that was his own fault

    Nice vid showing gunner position in T-72B3 (2011)

    Yeah, but still, even with computer calculating impact point and lead, S-8s ain't exactly the epitomy of accuracy when launched like that. Either way, it will be interesting to see if with introduction of M142 and potentially M270 we will see some of these problems go away. I honestly bet it won't change much but im ready to be proven wrong. Also on the note of lost equipment, with lists like one made by Oryx you would be lead to believe that Ukraine now has more equipment than when the war started, ex. he lists 19 lost MLRS systems for Ukraine and 32 they "captured" from Rus forces, one can argue that making a photo of something doesn't mean it got captured and recovered by UA, but who would bother with such unimportant details.
  20. Volke
    Quite possibly, it is obviously more effective than just dumping rockets over ballistic trajectory and hoping they hit, tho it begs the question, if they are now jerry-rigging such contraptions, are they running low on traditional MLRS systems?

    Seems Jihad Design Bureau is doing great with their brand new UkraineAkbar line of products

    First T-90M confirmed to be lost in combat, nearly 2 weeks since first spotting the type in the field.

    K2 hasn't failed any bid in Poland yet, we bought Abrams outside the Wilk MBT programme as a replacement for rapidly aging T-72M and M1s. The main future MBT project is still ongoing, and K2PL is the favourite so far. Thing is, it doesn't exist, and who knows how long it will take to build it, and even then who knows if politicians won't change their minds.

    Well, we have first pics of T-90M in Ukraine, screengrab from Rosgvardia vid around Kharkiv.

    On the picture i posted it is a T-72B obr.1989 you can very quickly verify that by the fact it has the IR emitter on the right side of the barrel. As for why the K5 is missing there. NLAW has a directional downward facing warhead. So when it detonated on the metal contraption the stream passed thru frontal K5 that we see missing, the weakned stream damaged the fuel tank igniting it, and so we got that photo instead of a new photo of a T-72B wreck. The entire idea with these "roofs" is just an extremely cheap way so that the tank has those "slighlty higher" chances of survival against modern anti tank solutions. And while it won't work every time, it is so cheap, that if it works once in 10 times it is good enough.
  31. Volke
    Yeah im pretty sure it was attacked by NLAW, as on picture we can see that the projectile came from the side, not from top, as for Javelins, indeed they didn't seem to appear yet. Quite interesting why we see no footage of em.
