Exactly, and I'm hoping that stays true. Maybe Rand can travel around some more so he can be better recognized. I swear though, if Bernie, Hillary, Cruz, Rubio, or Carson is elected, I'm packing up my backs and moving to Russia. Maybe Putin can run for the election here, he'd have my vote.

FIFY The Ted victory is a massive disappointment, for me at least. I'd rather have Trump, at least he doesn't have a hate-boner for Putin.

The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines

From what I hear, this was pre-MS. The new T-72B3 should look pretty similar.- 5,188 replies

The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines
Mike E replied to T___A's topic in Mechanized Warfare
After 3 hours of trying to solve (the) a formula for MMP without Wolfram, I finally gave up, bought the $3 app (worth it), and got my figure... T-90MS has a MMP of 237.3 kpa or whatever the figure is. My only possible source of error is the track pitch, where I used .172 m after measuring and scaling some pictures. Using the same formula, you get 232 for the T-72B3, and (probably) 234 for the T-90A. The difference in these figures is negligible. ----- T-72B3 upgrade news; http://gurkhan.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/723-2016.html?m=1- 5,188 replies

You think? I keep hearing the MS isn't well rounded enough to be a properly 'good' tank. -

Thanks to a friend of mine grinding XP for me, I'm about to get the T-90. It better be as STRONK as it is IRL. -

The real question we all have on mind; does anyone here have good information on the 2E26M gun stabilizer (used on early T-64B and T-80B)? I can't seem to find anything.- 5,188 replies

T-80 Megathread: Astronomical speed and price!
Mike E replied to Vasily Krysov's topic in Mechanized Warfare
I have a question regarding the T-80U (for a project I am working on). Did it use the same 5-layer Glacis armour arrangement as the T-80BV? Aka this; I'd expect at least the early units to use this ^, but the USSR never really settled on one layout (and they were moving to NERA at this time point). -
They were showing off the microwave ignition propellants. Not the best demonstration, but Zvezda has done far, far worse.

Great news and I predicted it a while ago on a different forum, ego boosted. Ukraine was so slow with the BM Oplot deal, that this makes sense. Thailand originally wanted over a 100 MBT's.- 5,188 replies

Don't insult STRONK Russia, Putin is just around the corner. To me, it seems like we won't see the Armata-based 2S35 until further into the program, maybe serial units.

This is no B, it is an early-export T-72 (not A or . It does look off, maybe Iraq modified the glacis somehow. Their "tank factory" could not build any tanks (hence the Asad Babil is debunked), but it could work on them.
-
Thoughts....well, it basically was nothing more than a fan render. I don't think anything from this concept with make it into the serial T-14. The units we have seen are pretty much the final result, though the turret and its' "canopy" will probably change.

Such a tease, only one minute. Zvezda better have a long episode in store. Still, good to see it fire. Apparently it fired a round in the same crater as a round it had already fired, at 4-5 kilometers.

No such thing I'm not completely sure, but they might be the Object 172M-E2 of which Iraq purchased a few hundred of (in the late 70's).

Changing that would require a new turret, new Glacis armour, new ERA etc. B3 is no stunner, but at least it improves the FCS and firepower. Hopefully we will see Relikt kits being fitted in them to minimize the issue of armour. To Ukraine (in a B3) I go!- 5,188 replies

Well, the Proriv-3 T-72B to T-90AM/M would be a massive pain, given the new turret. If Russia had more time and money, they might have.- 5,188 replies
