    Object 490 is unusual. Well, at first frontal armor is not actual main frontal armor. Why it is like this? Because real commie shouldn't show his bodyparts to everybody, this is capitalists stuff! Jokes aside, this reminds me Leningrad Object 299. Main armor is deep inside of a tank hull, after huge frontal fuel tank (in case of Object 299 - gas turbine) and external low-protection armor. Then we have a turret/crew compartment with just 2 guys inside, and bustle autoloader (with some ammo storade between einge and crew comp.) with blow out panels on top and bottom of bustle. Sights are also strange - gunner and commander just 2 day-only panoramic sights and one separated night sight on top of the turret bustle, with some sort of active protection radar/sensors on top of that night sight. It does look like Leclerc that was designed by less sane person.

    After collapse of USSR design programm continued, based on new requirements. Tank design programm received new codename - "Nota". Titanium was used in armor of this vehicle. Tank was to be equipped with sat nav system, friendly idenification, radiocontrol/remote control of tank and gun (driving and firing) as so on. 2 test rigs/prototypes were made (one in 1992, second is unfinished, 1993, AFAIK).

    Izdelie 477/Object 477 "Boxer" In 1985 new layout and new weapon were approved. Tank was to be armed with 152 mm 2A73 gun. Gun was equipped with sensor that detected a bending of the barrel/Gun muzzle reference system. Driver is on the left, gunner and commander in the low-profile turret/hull working with one big control station (Like in Ka-52, i guess). behind the - isolated 8-round autoloader and between turret and engine a special ammorack/autoloader was located, with 32 shots in it. Second autoloader was feeding 8-round autoloader in turret. Big fueltank was located in right part of frontal hull. A part of autoloader. Those trays were able to rotate a bit, to make a loading mechanism smaller. Gun was mounted at hight of 2088 mm, tank leight with gun - 10650, almost a meter longer than T-64, height (measured from turret roof) - 2434 (T-64 was 2170 high). Because of an internal spy scandal, tank design programm received new code name - "Molot"/Hammer. This Boxer/Molot is armed with 152 mm gun and 30 mm autocannon (+ 7.62 coaxial MG). Tank had substantial armor - more than 1 meter frontal armor, 5 layers armor package on sides, and thick roof/crew hatches armor. There were plans to equip tank with Active protection system and several systems were considered - Arena, Dozhd' ("Rain"), Drozd, Shatyor. About 10 of those were made, a photo of real vehicles was posted on previous page.

    Well, previous tank had number of "gray" areas with how exactly 2-man crew will work effectively, and with commanders tank this question was critical. Next design program in Kharkov went to other vehicle - from 1982 burea was working on Object 490A Buntar' ("Rebel"). Externally mounted main gun, 2 7.62 remote controlled MGs (hi, IS-7!) and one 12.7mm HMG in RCWS. Commander had panoramic sight, ability to aim and fire main gun from his station. Gunner had day sight to the left rom gun and thermal imager to the right from main cannon. Overview of surroundings for the crew was to be provided with special fiber optic devices, placed around the perimeter of the turret (never saw a single tank with such observation devices). Ammunition was placed at right side of turret, whole crew was located on the left part of hull. Turret roof and hull sides had layered armor. In 1983 full-size mock-up was made, in 1984, a prototype tank was made for testing, which began shortly after.

    I need to update first posts in this thread http://btvt.narod.ru/3/molot.htm So, this is Izdelie 490, scale model. 2 man crew, hydropneumatic suspension. It allows you to control ground clearance of the tank, which increases its survivability in combat (you can "duck" into cover). In addition, controlled hydropneumatic suspension allows to increase effective gun elevation and depression. The crew consisted of two people, located in the turret. Stereoscopic television system ( ) installed in the frontal plate of the hull, it was to be used to navigate/drive this thing. Armor layout of Object 490 was also unusual: External frontal plate was planned to provide protection against light AT infantry weapons like RPG. Behind it - a big fuel tank. After those a main layered armor was to be placed - just in front of main crew compartment. Ammunition was carried in turret bustle with blow-out panels on top and in bottom of bustle. Between bustle and turret internal volume a serious protection was to be mounted (you can see it on a picture). Main weapon - 125 mm 2A66 gun. Optis consisted of 2 day-only panoramic sights and one separated night sight at turret bustle.

    MChS (Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations) ordered 60 Pya, Glock 26 and GLock 17 pistols in "award" configuration. http://twower.livejournal.com/1747724.html Orders (or better to say "tenders") themselfs: http://zakupki.gov.ru/epz/order/notice/ea44/view/common-info.html?regNumber=0373100038715000298 (Pya, 40 pistols) http://zakupki.gov.ru/epz/order/notice/ea44/view/common-info.html?regNumber=0373100038715000265 (Glocks, 20 pistols order was won by "Kolchuga" Ltd, with price of 2 803 333 millions rubles for whole contract)

    Colli is steam powered and not Uranium powered Atomovoz?!

    Soviet designers played with idea of using space between engine and turret compartment as protected ammorack. In fact Object 477/490 prototypes had version with 36-40 round mechanized ammorack between 6TD engine and turret, in addition to 8 round protected autoloader in turret. In case of T-72 storing non-autoloader ammunition anywhere outside is much better choice that storing it in fueltanks-ammoracks.

    I posted this in Ukrainian armor thread, but this is also belongs to this topic as well - That is very very interesting combat footage. It shows advancing LPR rebels taking fire in the middle of field, and later - a UAF tank 500 meters away, driving right into the middle of advancing forces. As i understand this was recorded in 2014. You must watch it, i am serious.

    Not totally - i yet to see a single picture of Zaslon team :-D And there is 0 information about SSO actions in Eastern Ukraine, even if during one report a western journalist was filming a checkpoint arguing that it was guarded by Russian SFs. Of course, being a journalist this idiot focused on checkpoint and not on a quickly moving BTR near it, with very interesting group of people on top of it.

    ISIS abandoned tank and APS near Syrian Qvers airbase. I am not so sure about this cage armor effectivness. Also, today there is a rumor going on that Turkish army conducted land operation in Syria, near Turkish-Syrian border.
