State tests of the upgraded T-90M tank are close to completion

State tests of the modernized tank The T-90M "Breakthrough" is nearing completion, the main characteristics of the new machine have been successfully confirmed, said Alexander Panteleev, head of the research and testing center for armored vehicles of the 3rd Central Research Institute of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation on the air of the Military Acceptance program on the TV channel "Star".

One of the prototypes of the modernized T-90M tank

The machine completes state tests. The main characteristics stated in the tactical and technical task, we confirmed

- said Panteleev.

He said that, unlike the basic T-90 model, the upgraded T-90M received a fundamentally new tower and a more powerful engine. The gun on the new tank uses the same as on the T-90, but the barrel has a design feature - this is the use of accounting for bending of the barrel channel. The tower is equipped with a remote-controlled machine-gun mount of 12,7-mm caliber. A new multi-channel sight is used, which ensures the use of weapons at any time of the day. Another feature of the new tank was the ability to exchange data with other vehicles in real time. The tank has a video surveillance system, including a rear view camera. It is planned to install an active protection complex similar to the Arena.

An increased engine is installed compared to the T-90. The tower is a new, unique tower, radically different from the serial. The T-90M armor is equipped with a special anti-slip coating - the same is used on the latest T-14 Armata

- Panteleev noted.

Earlier it was reported that the Ministry of Defense and Uralvagonzavod signed a contract for the supply of modernized T-90M tanks back in the 2017 year. The first batch of new tanks should enter the troops this year. Plans were voiced to upgrade T-90M to 400 T-90 tanks.

A characteristic feature of journalists - civilians, to focus on minor details that have long been used and are not new. Some NATO member watches this video and laughs at this reporter ..... The choice of ammunition - Oh ..! I-I ..! That's cool! This is awesome.! Bend sensor ...? Ohhhh! It is fantastic..! Air conditioning..? INCREDIBLE !!! Steps in place of the commander ..? SUPER..!!!

Sorry, but you yourself understand what kind of control such frames pass ...

[Dzungar]

You don’t understand something ...! I’m talking NOT about the need to hide something new, but about how aspirated it says about simple things that have been used for a long time, or about small details like these steps of the commander, which should be installed long ago

"svp67
This tank should, no, it just had to go to the troops six years ago, instead of "fake" - T-72B3 ... "
In one of your posts, while talking about the T-90 (188), you somehow expressed regret about the "187" ...
I am joining ... Then 400 machines, produced relatively recently, would not have to carry out modernization.
Once again "alas" ...

[figwam]

The installation of an active protection complex similar to the "Arena" is envisaged.

And this must be set without fail.

[Yrec]

So the reverse modernization from the T-14 went. The screams about hundreds of Armats were, as expected, a shaking of the air. The time will come for a new tank, but it will no longer be the T-14 that we are now shown. We have no right to make a mistake in a new tank, so there is no rush.

[Orkraider]

When will the front drill appear? I want to see

[kjhg]

At the Victory Parade we will see the first combat vehicles.

[Bull Terrier]

why do you need it? a year later his image is stuck everywhere where they can)))

[kdakda]

I watched about it in the Military Reception program, the plot is of course very concise, but overall it works very well.

[Mountain shooter]

Reasonable and economical event. Great tank, quite modern and combat ready. And much cheaper than Almaty.
Although they will "spin up" Armata, they will not fuss. All the same, a new concept, not at all tested in battle. Unlike the T-90

This is also a necessary measure, although it is better than the T-72B3, at first it was announced that the old fleet was completely replaced by the T-14, now they get out with the dough that is, T72, T80 .. T90m in this situation is of course the best option, it's a pity only 400 pieces and potential T-14 will not work out (mass production, combat characteristics, etc.)

[Bull Terrier]

she is not forced. she is reasonable. t 14 redundant for combat units. for now.

That's just on this topic I recently discussed in another thread. Everything is just as it was in the reasoning.

I agree, Eugene! Moreover, there are still approx. 200 pieces (mostly of early modification) - then they can be converted into "M" - and into the troops - it will turn out "both cheap and cheerful"! And most importantly, it can be done quickly enough!

And here you are - "to the point"! "Armata" - tank fundamentally new - there is almost EVERYTHING else! In addition to the fact that it simply needs to be thoroughly "rolled" in all climatic zones, in the most severe modes, it will reveal and eliminate "childhood diseases" that are practically inevitable for any complex technique. Russia today does not have such opportunities as the USSR, when it was possible to afford the "luxury" of quickly launching a "raw" tank, and then spending huge amounts of money on "bringing it to mind" (as was the case with T-64). And the transition to such a machine is not only "build" - it is necessary to train and prepare the crews, technical personnel, create a repair base, rivet spare parts, etc. etc. And this is all money, money, money (and a lot) and more - TIME! So, with "Armata" - quickly, "a rally and a cavalry attack" - anyway, it will not work! And work on it is underway!

[Bull Terrier]

Yes, it was a huge stupidity for the union. rearmament of the division with a new machine means for months to make it unworkable.

[Kochkolaz]

You need to steal less! And everything will work out! Well, as for the "Armata", this is not the car that our army needs. She fulfilled her role. It may have good solutions, but it was not created for this. The T-95 was no worse, and maybe better, but you see, it doesn't fit into the concept.

Instead of all this, the T-14 should already be mass-produced ... But in fact it’s good that there is at least a T-72B3, otherwise we would have sat completely naked

[svp67]

T-90M was already ready six years ago to go to the test. But the T-14 is still very raw. Even for military tests, this year, cars will be served already different from those that go on Red Square

72B3 and 90 must not be mutually exclusive!
Again everything is turned upside down ...

And why tanks of the same family should not be opposed to each other?

[Mazuta]

About how the T-90 was supposed to be somehow expressed ...
72B3 is just an option (minimized) of the modernization of the 72 family, of which the army (the former USSR, you know better than me) is just a dime a dozen ...
This, among other things, is a way to support the defense industry ...

72B3 is just an option (minimized) to upgrade the 72 family,

So is the T-90, well, the one that we now know is just a modernization of the T-72, but more advanced and better

Sorry Sergey! But the T-72B3 (model 2016) is NOT HANDMADE !!! This is NOT a "hack" !!! This is exactly the "budget option" of upgrading the T-72 to a "more or less" modern level !!! And with MINIMUM (!) costs !!! If you still do not understand .... I feel sorry for you ... And to explain something - probably - it is an absolutely useless activity !!!!

[svp67]

At the expense of the "minimum costs", you Batenki got very excited ... The costs were high and just to get a "more or less" level, and in stages. UVZ very skillfully uses its position as the only supplier. If there was at least some kind of competition, in the worst case, the T-72B3 model of 2016, we would have had it already in 2012, and in the best case, the T-90M would be ready in 2013 ... this is not taking into account what competitors would offer, and so ... everything is "a teaspoon", I already see that UVZ propose to modernize the T-90M in four years.

[Kochkolaz]

If you still knew how much this "upgrade" costs, and who needs it?

[Dzungar]

What's new in the tower ....? "Fundamentally new" it can only be like on the Armata - without a crew

[svp67]

Yes, a lot of things, especially from those that have not been shown. Believe me.

Quote: Dzungar

"Fundamentally new" it can only be like on the Armata - without a crew

No, there are options. One of them is the same "Black Eagle"

[Dzungar]

Fundamentally, this is when it is PRINCIPAL. And when the Black Orel gunner and commander are sitting there in the tower, but (should have been) at the level of the building, this is NOT a fundamentally different tower. If there is a well-developed tower niche on the Black Orel where a combat unit with a new AZ (MZ) should not be located at that time should be located - this is NOT a fundamentally new tower. If on the T-90M in this compartment behind the turret there is ONLY a reserve ammunition from which ammunition must be transferred to the AZ (MZ) outside the battlefield - THIS IS NOT a BASICALLY new turret .... We see the only fundamentally new turret on the T-14 Armata .. .

Well, of course ... it generally went so by. Money would be allocated for this project, everything would work for Omsk citizens. That’s when it’s worth regretting that we have a monopoly of tank construction left and have no competitors.

[Dzungar]

Don't you remember that the same Omsk people tried, as part of the Burlak project to create a new fighting compartment for modernized tanks, to create a similar ammo rack in the compartment behind the tower and with it a new type of AZ (MZ) ..? The work was financed, but was discontinued "due to the great novelty and complexity of creating such a structure" (I cannot vouch for the literality, but something like this) .....

Not so simple. This ammo rack has already been tested during testing of the 152 mm cannon. But the fact that the Leningrad plant was systematically destroyed, with its design bureau, the Omsk plant was put in very bad conditions, and the design bureau works "running errands for UVZ", there are many questions. UVZ has problems with the T-14, especially with its propulsion system, there are already talks about installing a new GTE on the T-14.

[Dzungar]

And thank God .. Will

[Dzungar]

It is rightly said about the mnopolist ... And the aircraft industry is planning to do this - the SU monopolizes the combat front-line aviation ... There seems to be a MIG, but for some reason it is in "one team" with the SU, in one corporation

Well what can I say, well done !!! We are waiting for the new T-90 M in the troops.

[Thunderbolt]

Yes, you already put KAZ on production cars, if it is working. This can not be saved.

[Lesorub]

Provided for the installation of an active protection complex, similar to the "Arena"

This device should go in the basic version - on all machines !!
