The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines

[LoooSeR]

There is a 1 minute long video with that T-90A in Gumri shelling terrorists, i will post it later, when will get to PC.

Patriot Park. This is temporary exibition, tanks will be moved to new building after it will be finished. And yes, Kubinka tanks are slowly being moved to that new park.

Taking into account that T-72B from different years have different frontal armor layout i would expect that different models of T-90s also have different armor. IIRC during live fire test T-90 showed iteslf to be better protected than T-80U.

It's a possibility for sure... I was hearing some ~680 mm LOS thickness, which seems unlikely given the size of the interior. Another theory is that it uses two extra layers of bulging armor. 

 

That Object-430 is one smooth looking chi...I mean tank. 

[SuperComrade]

I really love the 430's looks, if only it was as good in WoT

Video of T-90A near Gyumri, shelling a cave(?).

 

 

More vehicles moved to Patriot Park.

T-90s were in Chechnya 1?

According to this chart, T-72's glacis actually got thinner when they switched from textolite laminate to NERA.

[Mike E]

Really? I thought it was 235mm at 68 degrees, giving a LOS of around 630 mm.

680 mm was just an estimate someone he gave for the T-90A.

Russian speech can be heard from 2:02 to 2:15

"Давай!" ( "Give them" /Fire!)

"Ещё раз!" (Once more!)

"Ещё раз!" 

"Ещё давай!"

 

At 2:30

"Павлин, мы выходим" / "Peafowl, we are going out"

 

 

Remaking an old joke -

"Syrians, give up! 

Syrians don't give up, Ivanov, fire!"

They aren't Russians, they are famous North Korean pilots Lee See Tsin and See Nee Tsin.

68 km/h and reinforced ditch can do wonders! BTW, it shows frontal armor layout and it seems to be unchanged from late 1980s, i think.

[Sturgeon]

I figured it was more on the side of extreme driving than extremely shitty welding, but I had to get my elbow in.

[LoooSeR]

 

Only in Russian.

Timestamp?

Of what?

That is just Episode 1. And i didn't completed watching it

Object 770 with smoothbore 140mm M-65GL:

 

 

Also the Object 277, 278, 279, 770 all had -5 degrees of depression checkmate T110 thread.

FUCKING NERA.

[Sturgeon]

FUCKING NERA.

 

Looks like spaced steel armor to me, actually.

[Collimatrix]

According to diagrams there are layers between the steel, although apparently not at the edges.
