In the USA, they compared Abrams, T-90 and Chinese Type-99

Sebastian Roblen, military analyst at The National Interest, compares performance tanks T-90 (MS), M1 Abrams and Type-99.

According to the author of the publication, each of the armored vehicles has unique qualities. For example, the newest Chinese tank "Type-99" is far ahead of its competitors in speed and is capable of accelerating to 80 kilometers per hour along the road. Since "Abrams" with a horsepower 1400 motor can accelerate to 68 kilometers per hour, and T-90MS - to 72 kilometers per hour.



In the USA, they compared Abrams, T-90 and Chinese Type-99


In addition, the American tank has the "most voracious" power plant: its characteristics allow you to drive 390 kilometers before refueling. Competitors are able to drive more than 480 kilometers. At the same time, the gravity of the Abrams can be considered its advantage. According to the analyst, the 120-millimeter cannon of this tank with M829 shells with uranium cores is capable of penetrating more armor on the 15-20% than the X-NUMX mm T-125 guns.

But at the same time, Russian and Chinese tanks are capable of firing Refleks anti-tank missiles through the barrel of their gun, while the Abrams does not have such capabilities. The T-90 and Type-99 also installed a Soviet-style carousel automatic loader, while the fourth member of the Abrams crew is precisely loading the gun. Therefore, additional space is needed for the loader, which makes the Abrams М1 tank more massive and heavier.

In general, "Abrams, with reservations, have the most firepower, whereas Type-99 machines are probably best protected by their multi-level systems. In addition, they are faster and have a longer range
- suggests Roble.

The Russian T-90 (MS) tank, in turn, is equipped with the Relict protection system, an improved telescopic sight and a more powerful engine, due to which it is able to compete with American and Chinese vehicles, the analyst concludes.

            For some reason, everyone forgets to write about the amount. Well, there are three hundred Leopards, or the same ang. Challengers with Leclerks against several thousand Russian? Therefore, "small wholesale" consider it makes no sense. And Merkava with KAZ is not a gift.
            USA may 3 thousand. set, but they still need to be thrown to the theater of operations from another continent. Chinese Type-99 I wonder how many are released? That's who really can push down.
            In my opinion, Abrams is already too outdated to be called the best (there is no AZ at all, two defense systems: armor and dynamo. Defense). Chinese did not fight. The leader remains T-72 (90) (if desired, 4 defense systems: + KAZ + Shtora, due to missiles, combat power is higher, AZ and less crew).

              Allow your five cents to be inserted.
              Why would the Abrams be thrown to another continent before the theater? 90s have passed. It's time to move away from these stereotypes and return to the thinking of the 70s.
              This T-90 will have to be thrown to another continent before the theater of operations.

                Star. Last year, US Armed Forces in the EU were detailed in Arguments of the Week. 3 brigades (two light, one on the Stryker armored personnel carrier; and 1 recently thrown heavy with 8 des. Tank + 200 dr. Mshin) + 80 aircraft (F-16 and 15 - 4 escd.) + Maintenance and transport. And threw 1 heavy. brigade for one year. That is why Trump is demanding money from EuroNATO if they want to strengthen American forces on the continent.
                BABAY22. The Russian Federation has a defensive development strategy for the armed forces. And why is Russia and its territories still something? The United States actually risks staying on the periphery of world trade, which is moving to Eurasia. That kindle wars on the Eurasian continent in order to split it from the BV to the Balkans, Poland, the Baltic states. Including the Chinese Silk Road project. Therefore, rather, they will transfer their Abrams. The only trouble for them is that at the moment they cannot mass-produce them - 1 tank per month - therefore they will repair the used ones from stocks. hi
                They play out to the military-political alliance of the Russian Federation and China. Moscow needs to think about drawing up such an agreement with Beijing for a period of special "complications" with Western countries - I think that many hotheads in NATO will have to cool off with the Cold War - 2.

                  And what changes the presence of a defensive strategy? In the case of TMV, the Earth will not split in half and even the lunar landscape will not arise with the current number of warheads. So there are only two scenarios: either the Abrams crawl along the Russian plain, or the T-90 is looking for survivors on the stub of the Big Apple.

                  And after Topol what? Of course, Poplars and Voivods will cover the main goals, but the territory of the likely enemy is huge and special ammunition cannot be sent to each village. In the USSR, there were 40000 warheads to guarantee unacceptable damage to the enemy. Now there are only 1500. You want to say that fools served in the Union at the General Staff. And then missile defense systems by the way were not fancy. Why is it asking you to have 40000?
                  So Poplars without the T-90 do not guarantee any victory. And the "Berlin" will again take the ordinary infantry Vanya. Or do you think that victory over an adversary is not included in Gene’s plans. Headquarters?

                    After all the "special ammunition" will land in the New World, then there will be no time for local residents to transfer tanks overseas. And not even to repair the remaining ones. since a multi-colored population, crazy about a sharply falling standard of living, will be preoccupied with how to take away something more from their neighbors.

                Purely theoretically, without the participation of nuclear weapons in the conflict. What are we going to throw 90 matches for - Russia has nothing left for BDK and MDK? And the commissioning of a new such ship is almost a holiday ...
                The IL-76 is also a dubious option, especially considering NATO’s superiority in the air and low payload ...

(At that time, it was the Starship Stripes at our borders who were accumulating equipment. So I somehow won’t flatter myself on the topic: “On whose land will the hostilities take place.” Consider now that the situation is about the same as in 39 -40gg Only worse.

                  Yes, of course you are right. Here is such a disappointing alignment of forces. We can’t even theoretically defeat the enemy. Only hold back. Of course, there is a hope that allies will appear in our country - they will fly from Mars or sail over the Yellow Sea (the probability of one and the second is approximately the same).

                    The composition of the Russian Air Force
                    The size of the air fleet of the Russian Air Force is second only to the US Air Force. According to expert estimates, as of 2010, the number of personnel of the Russian Air Force is about 148 people [000]. The Air Force operates more than 20 units of military equipment [3], as well as 600 in storage [20].

                    According to the statement of the Commander-in-Chief of the Russian Air Force, Colonel General A.N. Zelin, in November 2010, the Russian Air Force and Air Defense consisted of a high command, seven operational commands, seven air bases of the first rank and eight air bases of the second level, as well as 13 aerospace defense brigades . In addition, eight army aviation bases were handed over to the United Strategic Command, but the Air Force is still responsible for their combat training. The total number of personnel of the Air Force is about 170 thousand people (including officers - 40 thousand, contract servicemen - about 30-40 thousand).

                    After the reform, the air regiments were reduced to airbases, with a total of 60–70 air forces (including 25 air forces with tactical aircraft, of which 14 were “fighter” air bases).

                    Tactical (front-line) aviation includes squadrons:

                    32 fighter aviation squadrons: 8 - MiG-29 (various modifications), 8 - MiG-31 (various modifications), 12 - Su-27 (various modifications), 2 - Su-30SM and 2 - Su-35
                    14 bombing aviation squadrons: 9 - Su-24 (various modifications), 5 - Su-34 "Duckling" [21] [22]
                    10 attack aviation squadrons: 10 - Su-25 (various modifications)
                    8 reconnaissance aircraft squadrons: 8 - Su-24MR
                    13 training and test aviation squadrons:
                    The deployment of tactical (front-line) aviation airbases:

                    Kaliningrad Special District - 2 AB (of which 1 is fighter)
                    Group of Russian troops in the Caucasus - 1 AB (fighter)
                    ZVO - 6 AB (of which 4 are fighter)
                    Southeast Military District - 5 AB (of which 2 are fighter aircraft)
                    CVO - 4 AB (2 of them fighter)
                    BBO - 7 AB (4 of them fighter)

In addition, at least five M-60 Pattons and two AMX-30 were shot down during the battles with the Hussites. In general, in general, UAE tankers are satisfied with Leclerc tanks and thank France for the supply of high-quality weapons. Success in Yemen led to the fact that in January 2016, the Saudi government turned to the French company Nexter, the manufacturer of Leclerc, to express their interest in buying several hundred French tanks ....

                    About 80 Leclair tanks were introduced. The coalition claims that there are no losses. In various sources of the Hussites, there are from 10 to 15 of these French destroyed “Lions”. Who to believe? ...
                    The figure announced by the Hussites is quite high so that not one of the affected Leclerc’s will appear on the video ....
                    But there is no smoke without fire. Although Abu Dhabi is silent about the losses in the press, the military still acknowledges at least four cases of attacks on the Leclerci, all of which coincide with the declared “trophies” of the Hussites. Two were blown up by landmines, one was attacked by RPG-7, but KAZ worked, another tank was attacked from the Russian Kornet anti-tank system - the tank remained on track, but the commander of the vehicle was killed. Given such data, we can conclude that other unrecognized losses can be quite real ....
                    On the modern battlefield, neither German genius, nor French wastefulness, nor American brutality will save. Like a hundred years ago, like a thousand, the outcome of the battle is decided solely by the skill and motivation of the soldiers with talented commanders ....

When the combat conditions are completely comparable for different tanks, then it’s worth comparing. In the meantime, a good advertisement was sent out for the French.

              And the funny thing is that they only think about him. And others will buy. For it is at the moment the most expensive tank in the world. Outperformed even traditionally expensive “Merkava”
              Regarding the "Abrams" almost a third more expensive. And three times more expensive than the export version of the T-90.

      It seems to me personally that at the current level of technology, at least in our army, no one will send tanks anymore in WWII for oncoming frontal tank attacks. If only enemy tanks appear on the horizon, large forces, such as a battalion or more. There, either the MLRS will immediately work there, with cassette, or self-aiming warheads, or aviation or helicopters. Or a tactical missile will fly Iskander for example. (Although a conventional Grade warhead is enough for any tank for the eyes).
      It seems to me that this will most likely be.
      And the smaller forces of the enemy’s tanks will be burned from a great distance by concentrated fire from anti-tank missiles and anti-tank systems, since now our troops are saturated with this good. From the Tigers with Cornets to STURM-S and Chrysanthemums.

        It depends on how confident the parties feel. For example, in Iraq in 2003, the Americans specifically sent Abrams to the T-72 of the Iraqi Guard. Neither aviation nor ATGMs helped them. They wanted a clean check: how strong Abrams was in the oncoming “tank-against-tank” battle. And were satisfied. Through penetration of frontal armor. Wins with a dry score. As Abrams thought, that was what happened.
        It was later that the partisans began to burn them from the sides with ATGMs and RPGs ....

If the tank got hit, prevent penetration of the armor. 4. If the armor is broken, save the crew and the tank from fatal damage (3 and 4-passive defense).

        Are depleted uranium core shells more expensive than tungsten alloy core fusion boilers? I always thought that on the contrary, tungsten is more expensive. Uranium - in fact, waste from the nuclear industry. They have a breakdown approximately equal (at meeting speeds of 1,5-1,7 km / s), but the uranium effect is higher - the pyrophoric effect makes itself felt.

        You don't need to grind nonsense. Impact energies for the perturbation of electron shells (no more than 8 electrons spin on the outer shell of any material). Moving closer to the core fails in chemical high-temperature reactions. The bonds between the molecules are born only on the valence, outer shell. And then, if they are not there a complete set. Gold, for example, has all 8 electrons, so it is not included in any compounds. It is self-sufficient. And he does not give his own, and he does not need someone else's. The impact energy of an armor-piercing projectile from uranium alloys is associated only with its greater specific gravity and high hardness.
        Further, "Scrap" - the core of the American is longer than the Russian. They have separate charging there and the length of the projectile is not so important. We have automatic loaders, and long crutches are difficult to stuff with an automatic machine. Which also increases its mass, and, consequently, the kinetic energy of the impact. Further. The charge they have provides a speed of 10-12% more than ours. The kinetic energy formula has already been completely forgotten, or didn’t know? E = m * v ^ 2 * / 2
        Your statement about 3-4 times superiority using a mythical explosion of some kind of grate there would lead to through penetrations of the tank. Or, to reduce the caliber of the guns. Why the hell to have such a mallet that drowns out over 10 kilometers. It is better to put 76 mm with a million rounds of ammunition.

        This is how ANY shell behaves. But subcaliber (with a small cross-section), especially hard and having increased speeds, made of very dense and hard materials, cause this effect to the maximum extent. The energy of the impact melts the harrow at the tip of the projectile in the form of a crater of small cross section, in the form of a lens. Which is pressed into the thickness of the armor and melts it to the entire thickness. Multilayer barriers keep such an impact well, but solid burn through like cumulative. The chemistry of the projectile metal does not play any role here. Tungsten does the same, but to a lesser extent. The kinetic effect is crucial here.

      The structural basis of any metal is a rigid crystal lattice, the nodes of which are occupied by positive ions. The space between them is filled with almost free negative electrons, the chaotic motion of which resembles an ordinary gas. The lattice retains its shape only due to the energy of the metal bond existing between these oppositely charged particles. By binding energy is meant the energy that is required for sublimation or separation of a solid into separate neutral atoms at its initial temperature of 0 K.

      according to quantum theory, if the cloud of electrons is somehow ordered, their kinetic energy will increase. In other words, it is worth at least part of the free electrons to group, "distract" from the role of glue, collecting, for example, in a directed flow, as the same charged ions instantly leave the lattice sites, repelling from each other. This is the constant readiness of the metal crystal to explode.
      Consider the projectile as a stopping coil. Its atoms are rigidly connected by a crystal lattice into a single array. When the projectile hits the armor, the lattice stops, but the free electrons continue to move by inertia. The kinetic energy of the directed electron flow in the projectile will be ten orders of magnitude higher than in copper. It is this energy, due to the localization of free electrons, that causes the partial decay of the projectile or the complete decay of the sub-caliber projectile.

      The signs that determine whether a metal will explode or not are the speed v of the body’s movement before the impact, the atomic mass A of the metal of which it consists, the kinetic energy W 10-8Av2 / 2 (in electron volts) of each of its atoms, corresponding to the speed of motion, particle binding energy in metal and their ratio a = W /.

      The kinetic energy of the projectile serves only as the "fuse" that upsets the energy balance of the metal crystal during the deceleration of the projectile.

    A strange comparison. Tanks of what years and what modifications are compared? For reference: Shells with a uranium core show a mixed result for even T-72. In Iraq, there were cases when, when hit even on board, the projectile stuck without causing damage to the vehicle. And in general, the Iraqi desert on the site of past battles is simply dotted with these shells, and in such a quantity that it is many times greater than the number of all Iraqi tanks. But 80% of Iraqi tanks were hit from the air. At the same time, the latest modification of the T-90 has a cannon from the T-14 (surpassing the best NATO cannon from the Rheinmetal by 15%) and significantly exceeding the range of guided projectiles. The engine is also new for 1000 l / s and, accordingly, the speed also became higher. Not that it needs to be compared with the Chinese, but it’s really stupid to compare by the numbers that the Chinese give. Moreover, Type-99s are released in a limited edition and are not supplied anywhere. Therefore, in this regard, I have some questions about reliability, real protection, tank avionics, etc. There is no detailed information on any tank under discussion, only a comparison of brochures. Only war statistics put everything in its place. if we compare what we see in the Middle East now, it says that Abrams, in the modification of the beginning of the 2000s, practically merges the T-90 in the modification of the beginning of the 90s ... The Type-99 has never met a real enemy.

    It seems to me personally that at the current level of technology, at least in our army, no one will send tanks anymore in WWII for oncoming frontal tank attacks. If only enemy tanks appear on the horizon, large forces, such as a battalion or more. There, either the MLRS will immediately work there, with cassette, or self-aiming warheads, or aviation or helicopters. Or a tactical missile will fly Iskander for example. (Although a conventional Grade warhead is enough for any tank for the eyes).
    It seems to me that this will most likely be.
    And the smaller forces of the enemy’s tanks will be burned from a great distance by concentrated fire from anti-tank missiles and anti-tank systems, since now our troops are saturated with this good. From the Tigers with Cornets to STURM-S and Chrysanthemums.

      And they are trying to get rid of him. The Americans have long come up with the concept of designing military equipment not as an independent unit, but as included in the general information field. The concept of network-centric warfare. Physically, the crew didn’t see it themselves, and almost didn’t see anything (despite the fact that they had installed cameras), but it took a picture from those who could see it perfectly — from infantry, from another tank, from a UAV, from a satellite, etc. . It’s worth working in this direction. Situational awareness is no less important than crew training, armor or a tank gun.

    And this is only the USA, and not all NATO countries. (

    super, you have given an advantage in people and planes, this is not air superiority, there may be no planes at all, but this is not a reason for enemy flights)

    Are you really so naive or pretending to be?
    The fact is that NATO has air superiority 2-4 times. And this is already at the moment. And they also increase it.

    yes shozh you are so stupid
    means the achievement of such a position in the airspace, in which their sukhutnyh troops, the navy and aviation are provided with the opportunity to successfully fulfill their tasks without encountering organized and serious opposition from the air

    what is their superiority in the air, if the bourgeois in most territories already fly, if something happens they can’t?
    you think all planes are ridiculous already, the Second World War was 70 years ago, adjustment from the air defense system from Vietnam has more than a serious impact
