    A feature of USSR tanks that may exist to this day is something called engine smoke screen. Basically it's just pouring some fuel into the exhaust in order to produce white smoke behind the tank. If I had to take a guess the rear exhaust is primarily for the smoke screen function but still serves as a secondary exhaust point regardless.

    USSR and RU tanks have transversely mounted engines meaning they're mounting "sideways".
  3. AssaultPlazma
    It's a standard engine exhaust port.

    BMP-4? When did the BMP-4 come out? Also I didn't realize the RGF already had some T-90M/T-80BVM tanks in inventory.

    Isn't it more expensive to maintain and produce spare parts for these three different platforms? That's why I am asking Because wasn't that literally the states objective of the ARMATA platform? Okay

    Why is Russia upgrading T-80's, T-72's and T-90's? This seems reminiscent of the cold war days of procuring three relatively similar tanks that have virtually no commonality.... I understand the T-14 was meant to solve this, but that appears to be a glorified tech demonstrator. So why don't they just settle on one design? I understand someone told me earlier the Turbine T-80's function better in the artic, but this doesn't seem like enough of a justification for operating an entirely different tank.... If anything why dont they just create a T-72 variant with turbines in them at that point....

    Why are T-80B tanks being upgraded instead of the theoretically better T-80U/UD's?

    I keep forgetting that's the AMPV and the Bradley hull. Seems like a easy enough solution. But alas funding and money n stuff.
  9. AssaultPlazma
    If they want to use the Bradley chassis that bad why not just stick that 30MM Stryker turret on it? It's already been made and means ammo commonality....

    I'm shocked MPF hasn't been canceled yet.... Even if it passes trials I wonder if in the end the Army will actually buy them.
  11. AssaultPlazma
    I thought the Russian Military hated the T-80 because of its gas guzzling turbines? Didn't some high level official say something along the lines of "we'll never make/use turbine powered tanks ever again!" after the whole Grozney Fiasco (not that, that was the tanks fault....)
  12. AssaultPlazma
    Any update on those missing individuals? Hope they're alright....
  13. AssaultPlazma
    Is it true the T-72BU was renamed to the T-90 in order to distance itself from the bad rap T-72s got after Desert Storm?
  14. AssaultPlazma
    Got any links to the HMWHS? Is that what's taking up all the space?

    Why do the Queen Elizabeth class carriers carry so few aircraft relative to their size?
  16. AssaultPlazma
    So is Russia building more tanks, or are they still upgrading existing platforms instead?
  17. AssaultPlazma
    Is the M2A4 still a thing or did that get canned in the budget?
  18. AssaultPlazma
    Those unbloused trousers/boots.......

    If Putin is Dark Lord of the Sith (what happened to Chaney/Bush?) then who is his apprentice?
  20. AssaultPlazma
    Why does it have that long rectangular casing around the gun?
  21. AssaultPlazma
    So are they there just as a publicity stunt? Or did they legit train to compete in the competition? Also wouldn't Russia want to put forth its best tanks for this thing?
  22. AssaultPlazma
  23. AssaultPlazma
    105MM APFSDS-Smoothbore gun.... wut?
  24. AssaultPlazma
    Who said that?
  25. AssaultPlazma
    Hopefully the damage isn't too severe. Glad no one got hurt.
