Some sort of laser seonsors on PT-16

 

[SH_MM]

It's the SSP-1 OBRA-3 laser warning system, which can automatically trigger the smoke grenade dischargers upon receiving a laser signal.

Basically Polish Shtora.

 

Side photo shows no turret bustle autoloader, BTW.

So the rounds are stored horizontally?

Very interesting.

I have to admit, it's pretty cool being able to move the camera view around in this VR video.

 

[LoooSeR]

   Well, i was wrong. And how much it actually holds? Around 10-15 rounds i would suspect, so this is just a bit better than T-90MS turret box for ammo, not really an attempt to make Object 640-like turret bustle autoloader that i wantd to see.

PT-16

Interesting to note the chain and ball skirt around the turret.  This was not present on the first few pictures either.

[LoooSeR]

That chain and ball thing is nearly useless, AFAIK, was added for visual factor.

Here's one I haven't seen before...

 

"Experimental Russian Tank destroyer KSP-76 (GAZ-68). One Prototype was built by the Gorky car factory (GAZ) in May 1944, based on the experimental 4 x 4 GAZ-63 chassis with excellent cross-country ability. KSP-76 had a very low armored hull with an open crewcompartment and was armed with a 76,2mm divisional gun. The 16,5mm frontal armor could withstand armor-piercing rounds, the tires were also bulletproof, a very unique feature. The development of this vehicle, without a doubt a very modern and advanced design able to be used in a wide variety of roles, was cancelled due to the production of the SU-76M Assault gun.
Specifications: 4x4, weight: 5,34 t, dimensions: 6,35 x 2,05 x 1,55 m, ground clearance: 27,3 cm, crew: 3 men, armament: 76,2mm ZiS-3 (58 rounds), armor: 5-16,5 mm, engine: 85HP GAZ-202, speed: 62-77 km/h, range: 430-580 km"

Layout of PT-16 proposed autoloader

 

   Andrey-BT belives that current box behind PT-16 turret is just a mock-up, and it is not in real size (it is almost as long as shell itself, but no place for other equipemnt like motors/actuators/etc). Just compare size of that PT-16 autoloader with Leclerc, K2, Yatagan, Burlak autoloaders. It is possible that a new space dimension and nuclear reactor that powers it are conditionally not shown on schematics.

Huh, I wonder what this is:

 

 

Perforated armour in action!

[Mighty_Zuk]

Perforated armor is not a new concept, but it does help save considerable amounts of weight without losing much protection.

Note: the Mark 4B uses a different armor which is non-perforated.
