The Soviet Tank Thread: Transversely Mounted 1000hp Engines

T-72B, Ukraine, 2-3 APFSDS hits in engine compartment rear armor plate.

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.

A proposal for T-90A protection upgrade kit.

From what I hear, this was pre-MS.

The new T-72B3 should look pretty similar.

T-72B3 upgrade news; http://gurkhan.blogspot.co.uk/2016/01/723-2016.html?m=1

 

   We are upgrading 32 T-72Bs to T-72B3 levels, but with some additional shit on them. Apperently, Omsktransmash is doing this contract.

 

   According to info, those T-72s will get:

- Relikt side armor modules and cage armor protection for engine compartment

- additional ERA/NERA in "soft" modules on side armor

- modifed autoloader to use Svinets-1 and -2

- V-92S2F (1130 HP) engine

- 2A46M-5-01 gun, Sosna-U and 1A40-4 sights with new FCS (with target autotracker)

- and other smaller shit like new tracks.

Will be somewhat similar to this, i guess:

 

"Soft" side armor modules are likely to be like on this BMPT:

Yeah, this is Object 219 SP2 in Patriot Park.

 

What is the vehicle in the background, next to the BRDM-2?  Can't seem to put a finger on it.

 

Came across this when looking though.  PT-76 and *OT-62* with 30mm cannons installed.  For what purpose, I don't know.
