The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines

T-80BV with "cage" armor, ERA removed.

 

T-80 instantly loses all its charm when the ERA is removed. Also, are these spikes left to penetrate filthy capitalists or what? Why didn't they remove them when they removed the ERA? I think Object 292 also has these.

Those "spokes" are permanently fixed to tank, they act as ERA mounting points.

Yeah, I know the ERA is stuck at it. I thought they were added on the hull after the tank is built though, not permanently fixed to it.

Well those mounts look like they are solidly welded to the tank; they wouldn't be very good for holding ERA if they just fell off before a hit now would they?

Still I wonder if they made climbing in more complicated.

 

[LoooSeR]

Actually it is easier to climb a tank with Kontakt-1 removed, using those mounts as a "ladder".

New BTR-82As.

Proof that the primitive Russian tank industry hasn't advanced in 80 years! I bet the Armata is just a modernized T-35!

Come on EE, we've known that for years. After all, the T-90A *is* just an upgraded T-34.

[EnsignExpendable]

Oh, and speaking of the T-35, looks like the restoration is going okay. At least now it's shown turning and driving for more than a short burst at a time.

I see that infamous IS/KV 2 vismod at the beginning of the video.  

 

Edit: is that a Pz4/T55 vismod in the background?

[EnsignExpendable]

Yup, two Mosfilm actors.
