Mohamed A

Welcome to SH, I see you've already started posting documents. Thanks!

Thanks

This has some nice pictures of the (covered) parade vehicles. Not sure if it was posted here though, didn't go through all this thread yet.

Which one would be better? The normal BMP-3 w/ 1 100mm and 1 30mm, or the 57mm unmanned turret AC? 

I heard the 57mm has higher RoF and range, but this is all what I found on it. I guess it also works like the T-14 (crew in hull), so it would improve safety? The turret of it is also at display at RAE 2015 I think. That's where I first found it. 

Rear mounted turret BMP-3 looks.. interesting. But not sure if it can be considered useful.

I forget where I heard this from, but that has actually been confirmed. It was something like "The Armata family of vehicles will be presented; including T-14, T-15, T-16, and 2S35". Can't confirm this though. 

If only I could've been there..

Alright then, here's the rest:

Challenger Manual 1

Challenger Manual 2

M1A1/M1A2 TUSK 1/2 Manual

T-72B Manual

T-64 1984 Manual

I'll post more tomorrow. Tired now

OK, more:

M1 Abrams Procedure Guide

Not sure if this would be relevant in 2015, but Soviet Tank Recognition Guide

Challenger Stowage Illustrations

Armament of T-72

T-72M1 Technical description and operations manual: (no idea why it's supplied in pages. oh well):

I also have manuals of jets and helicopters, but not sure if they apply here.

2S35 hasn't been seen at the RAE grounds, and will be showed thanks to official confirmation. We may or may not see Kurganets, and I wouldn't be surprised to actually see it. 

 

Welcome to SH Mohamed 

I may be optimistic, but I think the 2S35 we will see will be the Armata based version, not the modified T-90 version.

Thanks. 

I am not sure if this was posted before, but this is said to be a new Ukrainian IFV based on the T-64 chassis:

There was also a picture of it being produced in factory, but I lost it

I already posted several times about Ukrainian VDV receiving first repaired T-80BVs ;-)

Yes, they got them in July 15 2015 if I am not wrong. Kharkov refurbished old T-80Bs and applied Kontakt-1 ERA on them.

Would a T-90S Russian manual be worthy of being posted here?

I also have Challenger 1 manual. And M1A1/M1A2 TUSK 2 manual if you want. I am also looking hard for The -10 (M1 technical manual), but my efforts are fruitless so far.

I feel sorry for whoever had to do the cleaning on the T-14. It just looks so clean. It's as if it just rolled out of the factory.

Kurganets-25 most likely will not be presented at RAE-2015, instead some models will be avaliable to look at :-/

Like those models:

Was it said why? It seems odd.

T-14 arrived all green, photos are in Armata thread in this subforum.

I'll go check that out, thanks. 

Welcome to SH, Mohamed A! This camo is UVZ "PR" camouflage, which can be called glamouflage. It is there to attract clients and to make vehicles look different, helps to be noticeable in PR material (camo is unique for Russian AFV).

Thanks. It looks like quite a nice forum.

Thanks. I wonder if the T-14 & Co. would receive a similar form of treatment. Oh well, it's [RAE 2015] starting tomorrow anyway. 

Do excuse my lack of knowledge but, why are RAE tanks usually colored in that color? Is it to attract Middle East/African clients or..?

(on another hand: Hey EE and Tied. Not sure if you remember me though  )
