But there is no money for "Armata", or is it that - doesn’t it mold without foreign components?

[Proton]

And why the heck in Armata’s battle? Well, not a breakthrough tank.

[rammjager]

Well, Armata didn’t seem to have been adopted yet. So where is the T-90? That's interesting. Or are they unwashed for “friends”? Will ours cost the old equipment?

[Damir]

Well, you burn right ... verb ....

that’s just written ....

[cariperpaint]

how did you get tired ... even if you make them at 100 pieces a year, the declared 2300 pieces, you probably can calculate their delivery time yourself?))) it’s a long business

[Incvizitor]

"Armata" military passes yet.

The Ministry of Defense "is satisfied with Armata, but so far does not seek to force purchases."
The deputy minister noted that "the T-72 tank still possesses a good modernization potential."

[Lord of the Sith]

Armata ordered 100 units, but so far they have made 20.

[Plombir]

And why is the badly modernized T-72? This is one of the best tanks in the world, if not the best. For armata, the crew needs a specific one. They still need to be trained. Work out application tactics. These are the years. T-72, like a Kalashnikov assault rifle, is trouble-free and deadly. And their fucking!

[Yarik]

It is strange why on the tank tower, near the gun, there is such a big hole in the dynamic defense and such large gaps between the blocks of dynamic protection? There is nothing at all on the roof of the tower. Maybe the photo does not match the real type of tank? Who will say?

[Proton]

I wondered right now, it seems that the towers are from t 90, in the nineties there are two spotlights with infrared light from the "curtain", maybe because of this hole.
And the tower is 72 x taller

[Bronevick]

On the T-90, the spotlights are farther apart than the holes near the gun

[Bronevick]

The photo matches, just so cheaper. Blurred, blurted, that's how it happened.

No, the photo does not match. Here is this B3

[Michael newage]

On your photo "T-72B3 sample 2016". In the article, the usual B3. And most likely "samples" arrived.

Just the photo in the article does not match the text. This happens here.
The article explicitly states what was received in the ZVO:

The upgraded T-72B3 are equipped with a more powerful engine of 1130 hp. and improved weapons. In addition, the machine received a new aiming system with a digital display, as well as a television rear view camera.
The changes also affected the armor of the tank, which is reinforced by an onboard screen with dynamic protection modules "Relic", hinged lattice screens, and new dynamic protection systems in a "soft" case.

It’s even clear from the engine that this is not the basic “50 millionth” T-72B3, but its improved version. In which, in particular, a hole above the driver’s head is closed with a remote sensing.

[Lord of the Sith]

All right! Received once a month for 20 units of T-72B3 sample 2016.

[Bronevick]

Dasha could not blurt out the DZ record from above. On the other hand, it's a hole anyway.

[Juborg]

Muvka, in your photos, this is T-72B3M or just T-72M (2017 sample). The article presents a photo of T-72B3, the previous upgrade.

[Muvka]

No. There is B3 and there is B3 of the sample of 2016. It was the latter that arrived. And the B3M is a biathlon tank.

[Proton]

blurt out to the one who blurted out on the tower

[Incvizitor]

Here is another version of the BZ:

[Proton]

I don’t understand something, they’re on t 72 towers from t 90A or something , the impression is that yes.

[Bronevick]

This is the T-72 tower

[Proton]

it’s just landing and angles, like that of the t 90, but the 90th it is lower than the t72 can and is so impressed that they put on a muzzle rotation as a children's cap

[Michael newage]

This is an old tower, and the “holes” are a flaw simply. But there is a chance that this will finally be fixed in the future. 72B3 of two modifications are, the first and the "sample of 2016". On the sample, the side screens finally hung normal. Maybe in the future, and bare places on the tower will be removed.

[Proton]

Nichrome itself is a "flaw", well this is how to design, in a kindergarten chtoli, what would actually leave a gap in the frontal part.

[Michael newage]

Well, this is our view of things that cannot be completely objective. We don’t know the reasons why we did this. Maybe, in the event of hostilities, additional places will be installed in these places. equipment or something else.

[Proton]

What additional equipment in place is the interface between the gun barrel and the tower, what are you talking about?
“Something else”, it’s only a shell can fly there. This is a frontal projection of the tank, there should not be any gaps there. And the rationale for the DZ working and repulsing is bad calculation.

[Michael newage]

New "curtain" for example .

What it means what additional equipment? The head of the driver!

And you will remember - when and in what situation did you decide on the T-72BZ. At that time, the BTV tank fleet was not updated since the times of the USSR. In parts, the T-72A and B somehow ran, remembering Gorbi, and in some places there were even T-62s with T-55s. It was urgent to replace about 2000 tanks of warheads — and the new T-90s were delivered at 60-65 units a year, and UVZ raised the price from 70 to 118 million per tank per year.
The army needed a cheap mass tank - no more than 50 million rubles, at least 180 units a year. So we chose the budget option, which was still better than what was in commodity quantities in linear parts.
If improved options were chosen immediately, then most of the BTV would have remained on the Soviet T-72A or B.

[Bronevick]

Under the tower flies with a bang.

[Hadji Murat]

very informative .... if this is a tank association then most likely the 4th Guards Tank Kantemirov Order of Lenin, the Red Banner Division .... although they like there the T-80s were in service ....

Or maybe this is the 2nd Guards Motorized Rifle Taman Order of the October Revolution Red Banner Order of the Suvorov Division named after M. I. Kalinin?
Judging by the photo on the network, they have just a mixture of T-90 and T-72B3.

[egsp]

if unification, then the army. most likely the newly formed 1st Panzer Army.

[Alexander War]

Why didn’t they put on the updated version of the T-72B3M Relict on the frontal armor as in the photo on the T-80 upgraded already put this is the first, second where the anti-aircraft machine gun with remote control like here and where is the panoramic sight of the commander of the Hawkeye

[Lesorub]

The answer is obvious - why there is no panoramic sight, why there are “holes” in the tower’s reservation - Because our Partners so wished !!!!))), I don’t see another reason - to weaken (it seems like a global diversion) armored troops, because the troops could be satiated with the modernized T-72 to the t-90MS level, which would ensure high-quality parity with Western tanks! (and by the way T-90 is not so much in the army)

[Michael newage]

Money. That's all. Both paid and modernized. Partners have nothing to do with it. 90MS is an export tank.

[Lord of the Sith]

Because the photo for the article does not match the text. And not nonsense about partners.

[Muvka]

Probably because people there own the information and have done many tests? Once made so - it means at the moment this is the best price-quality ratio.

[Music]

This tank reminds me of the T-34/85. Type - we’ll do the modernization. T-54 can not yet.

[Michael newage]

T-44 and not 54. And we can. He is right now called T - 14. And 34-85 was very good.

[SCHNIFER]

It seems that the Ukrainians and Poles recognized the T-72
