side panels of arjun external fuel cells, 10mm ceramic plate on 10mm FRP backing(aramid fibers based) - IV by NIJ 0108.01 
 


 
 
engine hatches, same thing, ceramic on FRP, how they planing NOT to damage ceramic tiles during daily maintenance of tank i have no idea 
 
thanks to KR15T0F for help

the final version of Arjun's calculations, all the thicknesses of the plates correspond to the real ones according to the nomenclature of the armor plates (those that existed), the dimensions of the special armor of the turret may not be accurate because there is nothing to check them with, 2 fuel tanks inside the engine bay have been added to the diagram which were not previously visible, more accurate estimates only possible if someone undertakes to build 3D...
 
*pink plate - pure frp

Of course，War thunder is incredible.In real world,the weak area in 99As turret maybe even bigger.
 
They didn't fix the weakspot at all.

 

It will replace the BRDM-2 with Malyutka, in service with 14th anti-tank artillery regiment which is part of the rocket and artillery forces, so the answer is artillery, at least for that unit.

Well, we have first "combat" footage of the T-90M in Ukraine, if we are to believe the vid description this was taken near Izyum.

First T-90M confirmed to be lost in combat, nearly 2 weeks since first spotting the type in the field.

K2 hasn't failed any bid in Poland yet, we bought Abrams outside the Wilk MBT programme as a replacement for rapidly aging T-72M and M1s. The main future MBT project is still ongoing, and K2PL is the favourite so far. Thing is, it doesn't exist, and who knows how long it will take to build it, and even then who knows if politicians won't change their minds.

Well, we have first pics of T-90M in Ukraine, screengrab from Rosgvardia vid around Kharkiv.

If one wishes to join Discord, one must have had a sufficient number of posts on the forum website. 

Seems the cages aren't that useless in the end, it detonated the top attack missile before it could reach the crew compartment and so only the fuel tank next to turret got ignited.

ah yes assured you ukranitian government already know of deals, no need 4 u to call an verify!

We are friends, yes? I make special deal, very low price for you!

Wow, a confirmation that D-technology is an internal armour package. Years of debates can finally be put to rest.

good overview of the leopard 2a7v upgrade by ralph zwilling
 
"For example, the protection level of the chassis will be increased by replacing the internal protection modules in the front of the hull with modern protection modules in D technology, adapting a front protection module at the bow, a duel glacis plate protection as well as catchers in the side hull area and the installation of universal brackets for the optional mounting of heavy side skirts. Since the hulls of the 68 Leopard 2A4s scheduled for conversion to Leopard 2A7V were already too worn and the conversion would have been too complex and cost-intensive, new hulls are being built for these vehicles. 
...
 
Due to the new P 25000 HD final drives with modified transmission ratio, the Leopard 2A7V is now again able to adequately perform the tactical „jump“ from cover. However, this advantage is bought by a reduced top speed, which is anyway rather a pure nominal value without any practical use. In addition, the vehicle receives a 570 Z end connector track adapted to the increased weight, new sprockets, reinforced torsion bars and four additional hydraulic bump stops.
...
In addition to an Attica 3rd generation thermal sight and a new eye-safe laser rangefinder in the EMES 15A2 main sight, the gunner will have an additional display to the left of his control handles. This allows him to observe the EMES and PERI R17A3 fields of view more fatigue-free during longer operations due to the more ergonomic seating position.
...
All 68 vehicles originally based on the Leopard 2A4 main battle tank will be equipped with the new L55A1 120 mm smoothbore gun, including new breechblocks, recoil brakes and recuperators, which permits significantly higher gas pressure."

T-14 with "naked" turret. Weird cylindrical objects on top are unknown to me, maybe containers for shells.

Congratulations, it's only Monday and you win the prize for "most retarded thing I read on the internet this week"

I mean... It's textolite which is sort of like plastic. But this wouldn't be the first time you demonstrated that you know fuckall about armor technology!
