Egypt: T-90S/SK tanks will be assembled in 2019

 

Quote

   According to the information of the publication menadefense.net, the assembly of T-90S/SK tanks in Egypt will begin in 2019.
   The production will begin after receiving kits from Uralvagonzavod in the last quarter of 2019.

   A total of 400 sets will be supplied to Egypt, half to SKD (simple assembly), and the second half to CKD (assembly and welding of some elements). Although there will be no local integration, the installation of the line optimizes the maintenance of the T-90S tank fleet. It is reported that Egypt received a license to assemble tanks in its territory in the amount of 50 pieces per year from 2019 to 2026.

how come Indians have a better ERA layout than T-72B3 .

[LoooSeR]

BTR-82 with snorkels (?). I guess for very sandy conditions (exercises in Tajikistan).

   Shri Ajay Kumar, a senior officer at the Heavy Vehicle Factory (HVF) in Avadi, Tamil Nadu, India, told Seithigal News about the assembly in the company in 2017 financial year (ends on March 31, 2018) 119 tanks T-90S Bhishma. In total, since 2009, 745 tanks of Bhishma under the 2004 contract for the licensed production of 1,000 T-90S tanks have been assembled at the plant.

   India in 2001 signed the first contract for the purchase of 124  T-90S tanks produced by Uralvagonzavod (UVZ) and 186 kits for their assembly in Avadi. In 2004, a contract was signed for the licensed production of 1,000 T-90S tanks in India. In November 2007, India entered into a new contract to receive 124 more T-90S tanks build by UVZ and 223 kits, completed in 2011.

   Thus, the total number of T-90 tanks in India as of April 1, 2018 will be 1402 units

MOSCOW, March 17 (Itar-Tass) - RIA Novosti. The first Soviet infantry combat vehicles BMP-1, still in service with the Russian army and Rosgvardia, will be equipped with a 30-millimeter cannon from an armored personnel carrier BTR-82, so they will be able to shoot down aerial targets, including drones, RIA Novosti reported several sources in the Russian military-industrial complex.

No more ATGM, or are they just not installed?

[Scolopax]

I'd say not installed.  It looks like the mounting points are there.

 

I wonder if direct-fire rockets (RPO?) were ever considered in place here like the Obj. 787.

Looks strange without them, but yes, those vehicles were just made and not completely equipped currently. Launchers will be mounted later.

IDK, but BMPT prototype (with 1 30 mm autocannon) still had only ATGMs.

Well, they are not that far from Tom Clancy's EndWar take on Russian tanks (T-100 "Ogre")

Russian army tested Jihadmobils and this thing. They could have bought Chaborz instead of making 100 versions of simple baggi.
