The US Army will continue using and upgrading TOW for the forseeable future. TOW-ER is probably the Army finally going for the 'Launch Boost Sustain' upgrade that doubles TOW's range.

Renegade334 Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 ...Unless they're factoring into their equations the vehicles' respective dismounts and the theoretical AT weaponry the latter are packing (though I'm not sure RU soldiers would be packing something as big as the Kornet instead of a slimmer [and lighter] RPG-28 or RPG-32) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord_James Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 Could they be thinking of this? Spoiler Because those still aren't Kornet's, they're Ataka's, and thus would still be very wrong. Karamazov and Belesarius 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Renegade334 Posted October 12, 2018 Report Share Posted October 12, 2018 There is a BMP-3 variant called the Kornet-T (9P163M-1), but it lacks the dual-cannon turret. It's actually kind of a Khrizantema, but with Kornets instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heretic88 Posted October 13, 2018 Report Share Posted October 13, 2018 Inferior optics on T-15... Funny. I doubt there is anything known about the latest russian optics... but they already rated it "inferior"... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably based on assumption that it is either made on base of what we had on hands in T-72B3, or that we are using Chinese export crap, both of which is a possibility. GurKhan had a comment on our thermal imagers, and he wasn't postivie in it about their capabilities. That_Baka 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renegade334 Posted October 14, 2018 Report Share Posted October 14, 2018 His anecdote about the pressure sensor on the bustle ammunition compartment's sliding door was fascinating. I love those little-known details. And lucky for him, too. Having your arm crushed by a quarter-ton slab of steel sounds like an extremely bad, career-ending day. gaucho1, Laviduce, skylancer-3441 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ZloyKrolik Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 We had a guy in our unit lose the tip of a finger doing pretty much the same thing. Transferring ammo from one side of the rack to the other, the TC's side is un-powered and it rolled back and the guy didn't get his hand out of the way quick enough. Nick's wistful reminition on being back in the tank, I've felt that as well. You spend as many hours in these things as you do, they grow on you. I guess that's how sailors feel when they go back aboard ships that they've served on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mighty_Zuk Posted October 15, 2018 Report Share Posted October 15, 2018 Shifting LoS from grid to grid is just one more reason for the US Army to ditch the TOW and either modernize the Javelin, or get a Spike or MMP-like missile that could operate at its maximum range regardless of LoS.

AssaultPlazma Posted October 16, 2018 Report Share Posted October 16, 2018 I don't trust the US Army to make a good decision on trying to "replace" the Bradley. I say they just invest in the M2A4/M2A5 and replace the turret. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I say they just invest in the M2A4/M2A5 and replace the turret. You sure about that? According to that Army chart it's called the "1M2A4" - I'm not sure I even trust them to manage the Bradley. (But that chart is a comedy of goofs - at least one typo, magical 100mm Kornets, not bothering to account in potential ammunition advances for guns, no counting of protection at all, magic 8-balling the optics on T-15, really confusing TOW nomenclature...)
