He’s a NPC from Fallout:New Vegas and he says Get Fucked. Or can we at least make one where it’s that in Russian and it’s Loooser.

Hey Sturgeon, can you add a Emote of Driver Nephi saying “Get fucked”?

What does the T-62M1’s fire control upgrades consist of over the base T-62 model?

Some pics of Borsuk/Badger IFV. This time with Soucy tracks instead of DST(iDST 364D).

Rest of the photos.

 

Prototype of Leopard 2PL. Official presentation will be at MSPO.

 

Are the tracks made entirely out of Rubber?

Snagged this from Breaking Defense, an M113 from the robotic wingman / unmanned combat vehicle testing last year.

 

I read that as Blacktail Defense for a second there....

Niceee

Seriously, i am one of reason of increased costs?

You’re the reason that Sturgeons House has 9,214 Petabytes of photos.

@OnlySlightlyCrazy and @Jeeps_Guns_Tanks get our warmest thanks for donating to keep the site running (because seriously we probably would be shut down for a month without them).

How much does it cost to run this site?

They were using them FlexFuel Engines to flex on them Yatagan fools.

Awesome. Thanks for sharing. I would say that’s pretty impressive but from what I recall Russia found similar results in their 152mm weapon tests and with recent Vacuum-1/2 testing. Does anyone know what was been done with the CATTB pilot that was seen on the train?

I think it's the CATTB or more specifically the Thumper. The last time the latter was seen (in transit on a freight train in 2010) , its turret had a curious round piece affixed to its back, like an access panel of sorts. It could be a reload hatch for the horizontal autoloader. That system, though it would inevitably mess with the protection scheme (as it creates a weak point in the turret's rear armor) would have had its weight in gold, especially for the 140mm ATACS tests, seeing how big the XM964 round was and it could have been impractical to load them into the turret using the gunner's hatch. 

 

 

Though, I have to say, that grainy tank's turret in the aforeposted picture looks more like the original CATTB's (with turret side appliques) than the later Thumper's (which, as seen here, retains a gas turbine exhaust grille, whereas the CATTB didn't).

Is there anything on the performance of the 140mm gun?

"На сегодня подписан контракт на 132 машины Т-14 и Т-15. Первые девять машин мы получим уже в этом году, серийные машины. До конца 2021 года контракт будет выполнен", — сказал Криворучко журналистам на форуме "Армия-2018".

132 T-14 and T-15’s should be completed by 2021. The first 9 Seriel production vehicles should be recieved this year.

A friend of mine quoted this earlier. He said that Russia is focusing highly on upgrading prior service vehicles instead of the Armata Platform.

In the end of this video Boomerang with Berezhok turret is firing 2 Kornet ATGMs in "anti-APS" mode.

 

So im guessing most Active Protection Systems have cool down periods between when they’ve eliminated a threat and can do it again?

Is HBO included?

No sadly. The Premium package is more expensive than the Trophy APS so they can only do the basic one.

Ok, but what is this?

It’s for the new DirectTV upgrade package.

Wow, it’s got a horrible Power to Weight ratio for having 1000hp and weighing only 1,020kg... 😂

FWIW, I think growth of the AGT-1500 to 2000 HP would be fairly straightforward.  As I understand it, the thing is already downrated to 1500.  There would likely be some cost to engine life.

Whats the power and torque curve and delivery like compared to the Diesel contemporaries that other tanks use? The main point people say about the M1 is that the AGT-1500 is far superior too Diesel engines but is that even really true?

The General Motors prototype had hydropneumatic suspension on the first, second and last roadwheels, and torsion bars in the middle.

This curious arrangement also shows up in the South Korean K1 Type 88 tank, and is one of several reasons I suspect the South Korean design is a derivative of the General Motors design.

The K1 does look very similar too the GM XM-1 as well. Wasn’t the K1 being designed around the same time that the GM vehicle was being tested?

I think only the Geneal Motors protoype had a hydropneumatic suspension. According to Hunnicutt the Chrysler prototype had a torsion bar suspension.

Wasn’t the General Motors pilot vehicle better in testing as well?

Dat T-84 shorty

Those are all test vehicles for jet engines. Nothing really interesting.

Oh ok, just normal then...

So the AMX Leclerc’s engine has a mean effective pressure of 32.1 Bar, which equals 465 psi. That’s pretty insane for a Diesel engine of its size.
