    Chinese OICW, AFAIK it was addopted to service. The only way to Operate is to wear Boba Fet helmet.

    - T-14 will have a new gun - 125 mm smoothbore 2A82 cannon. AFAIK 2 new rounds are developed for it - Vaccum-1 (~900 mm long penetrator per rumors) and Vacuum-2 (DU). Also, it will have new programable HE-frag round - "Tel'nik" and new GL-ATGM "Sprinter". - If you look at T-90M, you will see that it already have lots of cameras and RWS, pretty good thermal imager are in use by T-90A. I want to see a new active protection system, but i don't think they will go for such increase in price of a tank with ERA working as low-price solution. - Suspension will be usual torsion bars, nothing new here. - No info on armor. - Already implemented, if known information is true. - No cannon, sadly. MG/HMG and AGS-type of grande launcher as secondary weapons. - Crew is in hull between frontal armor and turret/ammunition compartment. If crew compartment is arranged in same way as 195's/T-95s, tankers will found themselfs in more comfortable place compared with T-72/80/90. Anyway, T-14 is aimed to be cheaper Object 195. 195's gun worked for 200 shots maximum, after wich it was becoming to prone to destroy itself (pressure was 2-3 times higher than any 125 guns tested before). Also, this vehicle actually had 30 mm autocannon. T-14 is planned to be new T-72, i guess, which can be a erroneous decision for future. I really like idea of arming several elite divisions like Kantemirovskaya with Object 195 tank/TD and rest of Russian army with T-14 "MBT".

    Tank usually are getting hit into upper part of hull and turret (turret have higher probability to be hit, even if it is smaller). I have somewhere Israel-made report about that matter, although it is about T-72/62/55 tanks. In case of T-72 almost 70% of hits were turret hits, which is crazy taking into account size of turret. So yeah, lower plates were made to be less protected to save weight on a part that have very low chances to be hit. Which means that transmissions were shot very rarely in general.

    Da hell is this? Underbarrel cornershot with pistol attached to some kind of rifle. We need our resident CHINA STRNG to ID that piece of dirty chinese communistic firearms. Note 2 triggers. Is this legal in Land of free? I heard about recent brace legal status shenanigans. SPTSNZ STRNG. This is 12.7x108 mm Kord HMG, i think this is some kind of training.

    Funny thing is that Die hard is still well known movie here, in land of free and land of Putin. Chief designer Zlobin f*cked it up.

    Not just accepted, but necessary/required in any "cost of tank X vs cost of tank Y" analysis.
  7. LoooSeR
    Recently those things were tested by our SF. You can see several interesting things, including AS-1 and AS-2 prototypes, AK-104 in bullpup configuration and others. FSB SF unit "Smerch" AFAIK.
  8. LoooSeR
    From Ukrianian rebels: Bullpup SKS...
  9. LoooSeR
    Chinese new Light tank, i guess?
  10. LoooSeR
    What is this rifle? And is that suit made as protection against cactus? Chechnya, lol.
  11. LoooSeR
    Anyway, i heard that T-14 use a lot from Leningrad Kirov factory works on Object 299 FCS. #Leningradpower #KirovisbetterthanUVZ #ThanksGorbachyov

    Just a little bit of Lil' Brezhnev.

    Or Object 148

    T-14 ARMATA (edited) This thread is about glorious russian MBT T-14, known as "Armada", "T-95", "black eagle", "T-99" and other stupid Western names given to Object 148 (T-14 in some recent documents). Here is number of images connected to that vehicle. Official model of unknown "artillery vehicle". Yeah, Putin, we know that this is T-14. Note Gatling gun on turret right side. Artist impression of T-14 based on known model, by Fyodor Podporin. T-14 will use Relikt ERA, which is considerable improvement over Kontakt-5 in resisting to tandem HEAT warheads and EFPs. Side skirts would be thicker on a real vehicle, i think. Relikt have AFAIK bigger size than Kontakt-5 ERA build-in blocks. Whole album with renders: http://imgur.com/a/8Tn9b Video of same render from same artist: People expect that tank would have turret weapon system like what you see on the BMP-3 "Bakhcha-U" turret - a lot of weapons in one turret for one gunner to work with. T-14 is rumored to be equipped with 30 (or even 57) mm autocannon, 4-6 barrel gatling type MG/HMG, new 125 (2A82) or even 152 mm (2A83) smoothbore cannons. Turret is unmanned, crew of 3 would be located in frontal part of hull, behind very serious frontal armor inside of compartment, well protected from all directions. Cannon would be loaded by new autoloading device. I hope that Burevestnik is working on them, those guys managed to make 100 mm Naval gun with RoF of 300 shots per minute. I really like how turret looks, but i don't understand why there is such a big turret "busket" for unmanned turret with all ammo placed inside of hull in special armored housing. Also, i don't see gunner sight and proposed FSC radar on 3D model (i assume that panoramic sight is for commander). Laser sensors on 3D model are from T-90A variant of "Shtora". Some officials mentioned works on new active protection system, that consist of powerfull radar station, that can work on "long ranges" and engage incoming projectiles (missiles) with that gatling MG. Will this system survive development stage and be presented on serial tanks is unknown. Although turret for T-15 Armata-based IFV already was shown with new APS "Afganit". If you pay attention you may see that artist used T-80 rollers for Armata chassis, and this is not a mistake - according to some sources Armata heavy chassis will use T-80 or T-80-like rollers to save weight. And looking at rear part of that tank you may notice a engine deck from gas-turbine equipped version of the T-80, which can be mistake becuase MoD want Armata with new ~1500 HP diesel engine.

    http://englishrussia.com/2009/01/06/abandoned-russian-polar-nuclear-lighthouses/ lol. Nuclear powered lighthouses. So Soviet!
  16. LoooSeR
    Yeap. This is AFAIK a rebel with his new trophy.
  17. LoooSeR
    Ewwww. Try to guess what this thing is.
  18. LoooSeR
    And from Putin's Mordor: "Degtyarovtsy" are working on 2/bicaliber HMG/grenade launcher. And possibly 20-23 mm sniper rifle for "Ratnik". (Note muzzle brake that rifle is put on)
  19. LoooSeR
    Maybe. Our Chechen comrades in Syria (ISIS):
  20. LoooSeR
    Just to put into perspective - T-72 is 3.46 meters wide. It have "oversize index" for railroads logistics ("lower" and "middle").
  21. LoooSeR
    Ru wiki syas 3.4 meters. T-54 is 3.27 meters.
  22. LoooSeR
    Look what Kurds are using in Iraq: Here is a "toy" made out of explosive by Ukrainain rebels. They attach that thing to RPG-7 rockets, add some bolts and shoot (up to 200 meters that construction work well)
  23. LoooSeR
    Moreover, taking into consideration that 6 prototypes were build at least, and we don't know what exactly was tested on them in terms of equipment, we can't say for sure what features it could have in serial production. IIRC one of main reason to cancel IS-7 were foreign made elements for electronics. Although i somewhat agree with Chief about his opinion that IS-7 was not very good vehicle for serial production for USSR.
  24. LoooSeR
    Any pics of that thing so i can point at it and laugh at it?

    STRV-2000 in Act of Agression SWDN STRNG STRV STRNG Speaking about big coaxial guns. This is artist impression of T-14 MBT (Armata-based tank). Note 4 barrel HMG and 57 mm autocannon, mounted on unmanned turret. White tank is T-14 with 125 mm gun and dark is 152 mm MBT version/assault gun.
