    Does anyone have information about the number of Sherman tanks produced by modifications?
  2. Karamazov
    Thanks, now I got it

    Guys, can somebody tell about MBT-70 armor components? Developer Var Thunder from Gaijin made his reservation on the "armor - air - armor" scheme. But I read somewhere that the composition of his armor is still secret. And that there was not air. Is there any information about this? Found this picture. It says that the composition of the armor consists of steel, aluminum, fiberglass and more steel.

    Tiran-6 with 105mm M68 gun. Never seen it before

    Syrian or Egyptian artillery based on the Sherman tank. Year is unknown, but I think a photo of 1969-1973. I hope this is artillery and I was not mistaken with thread. Somebody now what is this?
  6. Karamazov
    This is what I am talking about. With the advent of the 3rd generation of ATGM, the situation changes.
  7. Karamazov
    I give it as an example because it can be launched from a gun. They can shoot a leopard 2. Spike can't do it yet. Anyway - its caliber is not important. Because he hits the target from above

    ERA responds not only to ATGM. On the battlefield, many threats to the tank. If any of them cause an ERA detonation, the infantry will suffer. Look at the Israeli tanks. They had many ERA models. But in the end: they only use NERA. Because their infantry always interacts with the tank. Always nearby tanks
  9. Karamazov
    Anyway, this is almost the main reason. For example. British tanks have an ERA. British IFV / APC - not. The same is with the French. ATGM in the first place - it is a powerful tool to combat armored vehicles. It is necessary for infantry. And it is very effective at distances from 1km to 3km and even more. The problem is that in Europe there are few places where there are such open spaces. Therefore, it is always easier for them to hit a target with APFSDS. For them, ATGM is an infantry weapon. They can't carry guns on themselves. And APFSDS is a tank weapon. That's all I meant. The situation varies greatly with the advent of the 3rd generation of ATGM. Now you may actually need a similar ATGM. For example LAHAT

    1 - Infantry often walks with a tank. Hit into ERA is dangerous for infantry near the tank. 2 - 200 T-55AD in 1980s. Yeah, thas really cool. APS is a very expensive system. Even the USSR could not afford it en masse. Now in peacetime, it is generally very few people need. 3 - So what? I also speak about it. There is development - no purchases. The picture above shows this.
  11. Karamazov
    The first is a deep modernization of 2A5. Second 2A4 with composite armor plates. I do not remember that KMW revealed strength of armor. But in my own opinion, 2A7 is better in everything.
  12. Karamazov
    This is the legacy of the school of tank design designer Morozov. "More protection and features - less size" Therefore, the Soviet MBT is as compact as possible. 1 - The main reason for abandoning the ERA - was the possibility of hit the allied infantry near tank. 2 - What Soviet tanks does have any APS modules? 3 - In Europe, there is no point in ATGM. Because there are no distances at which they would be effective. Opposite - in Russia there are a lot of huge fields and valleys, where it would be useful. In addition, Western tanks could be equipped with an ATGM. Models have been developed. But not purchased. Like this: And 5 years ago Germans was tested Israeli LAHAT ATGM system with firing from smooth barrel Rh120 gun

    it starts to be scary
  14. Karamazov
    good museum. been there many times. I can go again and take photos if someone is interested
  15. Karamazov
    Yes. they are not in the army, they are all in storage. At the "Vostok-18" exercises, they trained to quickly remove old tanks from storage.
  16. Karamazov
    Is this not a rehearsal for the victory parade?
  17. Karamazov
    Maybe. But I think this is a stupid resource management. Mrap they buy. Armored cars too. There are models like GAZ Tiger. But year after year we see this ridiculous cars. I am sure this is all the influence of mobile strike groups by ISIS.
  18. Karamazov
    "Syrian experience" Why does NATO Middle Eastern wars experience look like this: But Russian ME wars experience looks like this:
  19. Karamazov
    is it their own development? or bought from someone?
  20. Karamazov
    I agree. In Russia, in tank communities, someone gave information "from an insider" that the Kurganets are being reworked. It did not suit the military. I do not know what is true of this, but since then there has been little heard about Kurganets. There were similar rumors about the T-14's onboard protection. And about the T-15, about its dimensions.
  21. Karamazov
    Maybe this is a joke on 1st April. But the news on Twitter from 31st March.
  22. Karamazov
    is very similar
  23. Karamazov
    The same, but it could be installed during the upgrade. By this I look at the chassis
  24. Karamazov
    This is 59, i think. And If you believe this source http://militarium.net/tag/chinese-tank/ this is Type-59-1
