    Merkava 2 after some modifications, i guess. I still don't understand where are laser sensors now. Their original mount is empty, although mount itself is still in place.

    I don't see a real reasons to use this in actual combat. You can't just start to dig a mounting point of this rockets in the middle of the fight and that trying to aim it with some old and slow methods of pointing this thing at your enemy. If you have an actual ATGM with fast-deploying factory-made and tested mounting system this weapon become useless. It is some kind of partizan/insurgency rockets/mortars, rather than a guns and missiles for seriously equipped regular army.

    T-14 and Leo 2A6. Also, rollers are much more visible at new video, and they are indeed from T-80. You can compare: T-80BV in St. Petersburg. Even number of bolts is the same - 10 per each roller. So they are 670 mm rollers, which means that my own previous estimation is wrong, and estimation from BMPD LJ comments by one reader is correct (~8.5-8.6 meters long hull with APU, tracks contact surface is ~5.2 meters long, turret is possibly ~4.5 meters long (without gun, with unknown "box" behind that look like T-90MS-like turret basked). For some reason turret of the T-14 from new video looks wider than from "old". I still don't know what is this giant thing on top of this turret, can be combination of RCWS and commander panoramic sight, or it can be a device similar to Object 195's sight system. There are rumors that a "box"/turret rear is T-90MS-like ammunition box. I really hope that it is not true, or it was seriously improved. Object 195's unknown divece on top of the unmanned turret: Note size of this thing. T-90MS turret ammunition compartment: Yeah, it is just a stupid box with ammunition for a main gun. Reasons why it is there, where crew can't get it from inside of tank? Vodka, of course! And here is RCWS with commander panoramic sight. This thing could be mounted on top of the T-14.

    Those 2 weeks were weeks of leaks. New video of the T-14 Armata-based MBT. Yes, this is new video, compare lighting in that video and in previous one:

    Poroshenko is ready to go to battle! BEWARE!

    I am interested in size comparison of this vehicle with T-55 and T-62 (which are roughly equivalent of the AMX-30). Something like this: Do we have detailed size of the AMX-30 hull/turret/overall?

    VSK Vykhlop sniper rifle, in the field.

    Lol, that your Firearm blog post generated over 200 comments and plenty of hurt feelings.

    Possible looks of the Kurganets-25 APC (Object 693), although this picture shows B-11 Kurganets-25 - based reconnaissance vehicle. This is possible unmanned turret of the Object 693 (B-11 Kurganets-25 chassis based APC) and Boomerang.

    Somebody made this, vehicles are roughly at same distance from cameraman. Kurganets-25 hull have very similar height to SU-100, lol. Those are either cameras for crew, or active protection system parts (launcher and radars), or both. Size comparison between BTR-82A and Boomerang APCs. Of course, it is rough comparison.

    Some information about tank crew casualties during 2006 Lebanon "Missiles war".

    And i thought that leaks are over... At second minute of this video Kurganets can be seen moving, at minute 7 - Koalitsiya SPG, and in the end (13:16) you will see a new Boomerang APC! Kurganets-25 (note a different turret, i don't think it is an IFV) have similar size to the BMP-3. So Kurganets ~= BMP-3 (at least in height). Also those "holes" in frontal part of side armor are just steps for crew to get to their hatches. Different turret? I don't see a 30 mm autocannon. Compare it to that Kurganets: Turret is bigger, and there are those active protection system parts (allegedly), mounted on hull roof neat turret (under canvas), which i don't see on previous picture. Answer in simple - there are 2 vehicles on B-11 Kurganets-25 chassis. First is tracked APC, Object 693. Here it is: And here is IFV based on B-11 Kurganets-25 chassis, Object 695: Turret is give away. And some new toy: This is not BTR-70/80/90, judging by wheels, hull shape, turret placement and turret size. And no side doors. Those new wheeled APCs are VPK-7829 "Boomerang" vehicles. Apparently, "spotters" were so bussy with T-14, that they managed to not notice those things until this day. Drivers locations suggest that there is engine compartment right next to them, very similar to BMP-1/2. Rear doors, and note where this guys are siting - if it was old BTR-80, it would be engine compartment.

    For AK-105 and 74Ms lovers.

    T-64A, UAF. T-64A, Donetsk, rebels.
  17. LoooSeR
    Yes. But those holes are not the only one in Merkava hull/turret and that is a problem, when your tank is hit by HE. In fact, i am really interested how Merkava's add-on armor would work against big caliber HE, because they are just T-72-like NERA with textolite plastic.

    Another photo of a T-64BM1M, that i posted some time ago. Nozh ERA wrecked side armor.
  20. LoooSeR
    Note gaps in side armor in the middle and near rear part too. Add here a fact that this armor is not so thick.
  21. LoooSeR
    Storage area with lots of T-64s. T-80Us.
  22. LoooSeR
    T-64BM1M after Nozh ERA was triggered - destroyed fuel tank and side armor ERA block. Another angle.

    Some more footage of the AK-12. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KF2rICmlkHk What the? Somebody actually use it?

    https://medium.com/war-is-boring/the-t-14-is-a-new-russian-tank-plus-a-whole-lot-more-9df3a817c975 This article have several mistakes. 1)The T-14 use diesel engine, X-shaped, 12-cylinder engine. 2) There is no confirmation that T-14 have 30 mm autocannon, or 12.7 HMG. The Object 195 had 30 mm 2A42 Shipunov's work horse. 3) Export is not very likely to be priority for 5-6 years after this year. Those years would be used to "cure" T-14 from problems, connected to creation of new design.

    I think China have those things while Russia don't because of all those treaties were signed with USA. Which means that China have ability to build them without having problems that we would have, even if our forces are interested in such weapon. Interesting to see how effective those systems are.
