    That image is not right. It shows T-72, and it assume that T-72's rollers have same size as T-14s, which is unlikely. T-80BV and T-14 size comparison.

    I have a question - what is this device on top of the turret roof (right part of photo), that looks like combination of commander's panoramic sight with something else?

    I feel that Spotters are sitting on all trees around Alabino. They even infiltrated Alabino itself! T-34-85, lol. Ok, look at Kurganets-25 IFV - there is something mounted on the edge of UFP. I think those are camera systems for driver, because he is located in such place, that engine obscure driver "close" vision - he don't see 5-7 meters in front of the vehicle. There is a photo of the BMP-3 with some kind of device, similar to what Kurganets-25 have, although rumors say that this device on BMP-3 is part of "Veer" active protection system. Yeah, those 3 things looks like some kind of active protection system. Allegedly. Side armor plates are installed, they look like Relikt ERA blocks from armor package for BMP-3. Compare tracks width of the Kurganets and BMD to the right from it. IIRC they have comparable length of tracks, so Kurganets is noticeably heavier. Frontal hull is also equipped with some sort of add-on armor plates, 1 big and 2 smaller blocks at lower part of hull.

    MYGOD!T-14ISBASEDONOBJECT195! BTW that box behind engine can be gas turbine APU, somewhat similar to T-80's APU.

    Peshmerga Serbian Black Arrow?

    T-64BV. Here is other photo of that tank. Rebels moded one of their T-72 with additional side ERA. They also added something to the rear.

    Some random photos. T-64B1 ?. T-64BV UAF. BTR-4 used by rebels as practice target. Just turret in the middle of the road. One more T-64BV.

    Well, one guy on otvaga forum, that known more about Armata suspension than average human should IMO, noted several things about T-14's chassis. He said that it use rotary shock absorbers amongst other things. In fact, here is some of his posts (sorry for some mistakes, he use some professional jargon): "Supporting surface is increased. Therefore there was no need to "broaden" tracks. Longer length provides better passableness. However, it increases resistance to rotation. In general, suspension is well optimized. Perfect geometry, correct rollers diameter. Note the lack of sagging in not loaded areas of tracks [he talk about tracks near/between support rollers]. Suspension is not active, but it is controllable, it is controlled by rotary shock absorbers. And because of this support arm is thick. "Telescopes" [telescopic shock absorber] - they are hydro stops that create a very progressive force when [terrain] is applying to much force ["trying to break trough"]. Exhaust goes to the sides, where it is mixed with air [exhaust gases are going trough side armor module, where it is mixed with air]. Reduce thermal signature. It is [located] above vital units, so penetration does not resulting in damage to vital parts. Exhaust to the rear would impair state of health of infantry, which is moving behind the tank [during operations]. Layout [with side-mounted exhaust] is easier. Rear plate - without holes, provides the necessary rigidity for engine deck. Engine is X12 diesel, steering gear and transmission are mechanical. Specified turning radius and shifting is controlled by an automatic movement system, as well as suspension. All fuel is under armor. Hatches have double armor plates [sort of spaced armor], as well as all the desired zone on the top [of hull]. Generally, there are no traditional weakspots))). Thick side armor covers, amongst other things, autoloader and ammunition. All ammunition is automated (in autoloader). Each person has his own hatch. There is no need to climd to other [crew working stations], because there is a duplication of control. Hatches are opened in such way, that in any position of the turret soldiers could leave the vehicle. About the participation of rollers in protection of the sides - it is far-fetched. The probability of hitting this zone is small. If there is a hit, it is usually a small caliber weapon. Protection of the sides - new modular screens/skirts and thick, non-homogeneous side armor [of the hull]." Although this guy don't know anything about turret design. Well, at least it is what he said for now. And that all can be just joke or something else. Anyway - this vehicle is clearly was copied from Western designs - it doesn't have a SUPERIOR SOVIET LOG!

    Kalashnikov needs to produce them for civilian markets.

    This guy is not the best reviewer, but he is right in many things about Battlefield 4.5: The bullshit cops. Check tank combat in cop game, turret section and all other crap in game with police officer as main hero.
  12. LoooSeR
    Possible Active protection system (soft kill or hard kill) for T-14 could be located in that part of turret.

    Frontal hull: Possibly it is not equipped with ERA at this photo for safety/transportation reasons. Stolen from Otvaga forum: Commander and driver are visible. Commander is on right side of tank, driver is in the center, and slightly "ahead" of commander. And size of that hatch (thickness)... i feel that they considered measures against top-attack weapons. Possible layout of crew compartment: (Wrong) Driver ("MB") is in the front center, commander (KT) on the right, gunner (HO) is on the left, while autoloader ("BO/A3") is behind driver/slightly between gunner and commander. Or like that. First and second rollers have 2 different shock absorbers - "2" is telescopic shock absorber [metal detail to prevent overtraveling of the roller support arm], while "1" is rotary shock absorber, and all that system is similar to Merkava 4 shock absorbers: Merkava 4: Turret, another angle:

    Armata is Russian copy of GLORIOUS ABRAMS - CONFIRMED!

    So i heard that T-14's rollers are 700 mm in diameter... Of course, if 700 mm rollers are actually 700 mm in diameter (T-80's rollers were IIRC 670 mm). And i feel that something is wrong with my measurements, maybe because of camera. Clearance is about 400-450 mm. Frontal part of hull height is around 1100 mm, but it could be actually bigger. Another measurements, from BMPD LJ comments, which is much better than my attempts. (in sm).

    Yeah, i posted that in T110 thread day before: "lol, somebody likes how Merkava 3 Bet Baz dor Dalet looks. " On a subject of leaks: https://www.google.ru/maps/place/%D0%90%D0%BB%D0%B0%D0%B1%D0%B8%D0%BD%D0%BE,+%D0%9C%D0%BE%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B2%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B0%D1%8F+%D0%BE%D0%B1%D0%BB./@55.5388955,36.9662454,223m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m2!3m1!1s0x46caa89465ee6f95:0xd67333ab8d1ca003 That guy with a tennis court and pond have very interesting veiw from his house on Alabino prooving ground (west from his house). #CIAsalaries #taxpayersmoney #frenchwinesallday #Armataphotosfrommykichen I hate Maskirovka sometimes.

    Internet is leaking heavily in those days. https://news.mail.ru/politics/21485415/?frommail=1 Turret shape is really different from official model and artist impression, based on it. Sideskirts are removed for transportation.
  20. LoooSeR
    I wanted to post it, but i was in bed when this photo surfaced otvaga forums and Gurkhan blog. Note how close 3D render was to actual vehicle. On that photo BMP is driving without sideskirts. I don't understand why they try to hide turret- it was filmed pretty well months ago. In fact, people already found a patent for turret-mounted air intake for engine in hull, that is used with BMP's new turret.

    Spartan MRAP with RCWS. BTR-4. And this is BTR-3E.

    Hmmmmm............... Look at that lower hull plate and 7 rollers. And as i see, main gun does not have fume extractor.

    ARTISTS IMPRESSION STOP OPPRESING ME YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND HOW DARE YOU PLEASE STOP Yeah, this is Shtora 0.5. 0.5 litres, just like most popular vodka bottles! On serious side Shtora IR dazzlers are useless, i don't think we will see them.

    Some "new" pics. Sad thing is that i don't think it will look so tactikewl.
