A little more abot TVG from otvaga

Quote

   The solid-state wave gyroscope (TBG) is the representative of a new generation of gyroscopic devices built on new physical principles. Its basis is the theory of waves.     

   Structurally, the TBG consists of a sensitive element in the form of a hemispherical resonator and an electronics unit. The product has a small weight and dimensions, it does not have rotating parts, as well as elements that can fail from large oscillation amplitudes. Uniqueness of the device provides a lot of parameters, in particular, the minimal in comparison with analogues the time of readiness, the maximum wide dynamic range, high resistance to mechanical influences.

 

   The application of the TVG allows successfully solving the problems of increasing accuracy, reliability, vibration resistance, impact resistance, providing the possibility to work in conditions of high radiation background, strong electromagnetic field, etc. Possessing a whole complex of characteristics that are inaccessible to the traditionally used instruments - mechanical, laser and fiber optic gyroscopes - TVG will be beyond competition in modern control systems. Gyroscopic instruments of the new generation can be successfully used both for military purposes and in the civilian sphere: in industry, oil production, quality control systems for roads and railways, for building the origin in the orientation system in robotics, for building orientation systems in cosmonautics, in navigation systems and control systems for water and air traffic, ground transportation. According to Marat Ziyatdinov, many enterprises are interested in purchasing these devices.

   I also add that a standing wave is conserved for a considerable time in the resonator in the absence of power supply, which allows to take into account the displacement accurately when turning on the power. Roughly: a powerful EMP caused the safety circuit of the power circuits to shot down, when they are turned on, the TVG can immediately restore the final position of the PTS or allow for the offset in the BINS.

Hmmm... anyone want to hazard a guess as to what this means exactly?  My guess is that it's something like a ring laser gyroscope.

 

It's a HRG. Hemispherical Resonator Gyroscope - it would be a major accomplishment of Russian industry if they have actually put these into mass production. Only two firms on the planet so far make them.

 

(Also, first actual post of a longtime lurker!)

This is a long one so I'll do the recap:

 

1)Its Kornet missiles have an extended range of 6.5km.

2)Shitty joke about Bumerangs going into combat and returning.

3)Afghanit gives it a full peripheral protection. Almost complete reliance on APS. Anti-mine/IED system included as well.

4)More than one kit exists for the Bumerang. One for amphibious operations, which is the lightest, and another heavier one for combat.

5)Base armor protects against sniper fire, MGs, and basically all sorts of small arms fire.

6)Plans exist for a "wheeled tank" on the basis of the Bumerang, but without reducing the internal volume of the vehicle. i.e fully overhead high caliber weapon system.

7)Production series vehicles will be more spacious.

8)User Interface (UI) allows easy access and view of the vehicle's full diagnostics data.

9)Weight of the vehicle can exceed 30 tons, which may refer to its heavier armor package, although for this brakes testing they used special weights placed on top of the vehicle.

10)Bumerang is built to accommodate even exceptionally large individuals.

Spoiler

On the basis of the heavy unified platform "Armata" it is planned to create a whole family of armored vehicles for various purposes. At present, the need to create the so-called "Russian Merkava" - versions of the T-15 BMP with tank armament is being discussed. They will include the "heavy units" of the ground forces of the Russian army. This is reported by sources in the military industrial complex of the Russian Federation.

We are talking about the possibility of equipping some infantry combat vehicles with a unified combat module, which was created on the topic "Breakthrough 3". At present, we see it on the modernized T-90M tank.

As expected, the novelty should remain the possibility of transporting motorized rifles, but in a somewhat reduced composition.

Experts emphasize that the new version of the heavy infantry fighting vehicle should not replace the T-14 tanks, but be their addition on the battlefield. They will be in the same battalions along with the usual T-15.

What. The. Fuck?

 

(Please don't ban me from this christian forum.)

 

EDIT: Okay now that I've come to my senses, let's analyze what we're seeing here and seriously hope this is not an official sketch. 

Seems like it is a T-90M turret with a combination of the T-72's turret rear ERA modules. It is going to protrude into the hull, which means they're going to give up a portion of the infantry section they're carrying. Better just design a new turret IMO and put all the ammo inside a bustle, with just a service hatch beneath the turret. No need to unify anything with the T-90 because it's produced in low numbers and is no longer in production anyway.

 

But then, that turret's right at the rear, so there's not going to be much they can put at the rear. Infantry will also have to go past the huge turret basket every single time, which is uncomfortable to say the least, especially in gear.

 

Last but not least the actual doctrine, how are they going to combine 3 different types of IFVs in the same formation? They have the 30mm, future 57mm, and now 125mm. 

What's most worrying is when you give a vehicle such firepower, the crew start thinking like a tank crew, not an IFV crew. That's an easy way to get less efficiency in their prime role!

First I've heard that particular accusation.

It's a minecraft joke.

 

Anyway, glad this turned out to be a hoax. It's just odd they would try to make the annual bamboozle relate to weaponry. Putin stepping down, or someone firing a nuke would be more dramatic. Maybe some KGB-led revolution.
