Multichannel thermal imaging sighting device gunner "Sosna-U"

TPV Sosna-U - development of Belarusian designers of the Peleng enterprise (Minsk). However, due to various agreements, the sight is produced in Russia by the Vologda enterprise VOMZ.

That it represented on the TVM-2012 multichannel thermal imaging sighting device gunner "Pine-U".

Today, some modern modifications are equipped with this sight tanks T-72 and T-90, in particular - T-72BA and T-90S, T-90MS.

Tanks with one of the best TPVs have been successfully tested, presented at various international exhibitions and participated in several tenders, particularly in India. The sight is not the newest sighting device, as far as is known from 2006, the Russian tank “Slingshot” with TPV “Sosna-U” is being demonstrated by the Russian side at international salons. Interestingly, neither on the website of the Belarusian plant, nor on the website of the Vologda plant about this thermal imaging sight no information.

The main characteristics of TPV "Sosna-U":
- optical day channel;
- thermal imaging channel, which uses a second generation thermal imaging camera with 8-12 micron characteristics;
- laser range finder;
- channel to control missiles;
- distance to 5 kilometers of detection of objects of the class "tank";
- independent 2-x planar stabilization of the review.

This is good of course, but a modern tank needs three thermal imagers, a commander, a gunner and a driver.

[Prohor]

Needed, of course, but the "aces" from the Moscow Region need dachas and cars more!

[heruv1me]

Mass orders are needed, then thermal imagers will become cheaper and maybe they will set for all crew members. And now, probably, domestic thermal imagers are even more expensive than imported ones.

[borisst64]

"Pine" is now visible on all promising types of BT, we hope that it will justify itself.

[Cashpoint]

The castrated "Pine" and not the one on the 1m and 2m photos is visible only on the T-90MS, the one without an optical channel, but only with a television and heat

For some reason we could not place a full-fledged sight with an optical channel in the T-90MS tower

And where can I read about it? As far as I know, there is no optics only on the commander’s panaromic, and the gunner has it.
As for the commander’s, the same is clear: when the head of the device rotates 360 degrees, and the commander sits normally, without turning around, how to provide an image in the optical channel that will not be turned over?

In your photo

not the gunner’s sight, but the commander’s panoramic device

[Cashpoint]

Yes, I meant the panorama of the commander ...

[cth; fyn]

As always, a hefty figovina, although there are almost two channels (Optical and thermal), but this is already something, now it needs to be reduced in size, otherwise there will be smart people who will demolish it.
Now it’s approximately with a Bucket, it is necessary to reduce it to the size of a well-cut glass, then it will no longer be a weak spot.

And can you give a link to a modern foreign sight, which is worth equal in size?

For example, on Leclerc the sight window looks like this (red oval), and inside it is hardly small. The commander’s panoramic device (blue oval) is the same, not from the smallest. Compared to the optics on our tanks, the dimensions are no less.

[Passing]

Compare your cell phone with a "camera" and something professional like a Nikon DSLR with a telephoto lens, then you will realize that real quality is never compact. Just the laws of physics - optics, matrix, the more the better. And for tank optics it is imperative that it is better, because you need to shoot not friends within a meter, in the bright sun, but enemies, behind the smoke and five kilometers away.

[cleric4]

Firstly, a full-fledged thermal imager on the line of cooled nafig did not fall, the roughness of the road to the thermal imager is shitty, it’s better to use an ordinary night light, you can optionally give a bolometer, which is several times cheaper than the cooled one. Damn, so this pine on a bolometric matrix is ​​made by O_o. In cooled rulers, the resolution is a bit bigger and the sensitivity is higher. Interestingly, did they set a bolometer out of poverty, or didn’t the rulers put normal rulers?

[Kars]

So for me the question remained - the lenses are somehow protected from being struck by small arms and splinters or not. The pictures cannot be taken apart. The idea is to have interchangeable plates made of bulletproof glass with a possible quick change.

Armored doors + reserve sight (left)

[Kars]

Do not help the case with armored doors.
A multilayer transparent tape is glued on the helmets of motorcycle racers when the gray layer of dirt is simply ripped off by the rider, and so on up to 10 times. It’s also necessary to make a 20-30 mm triplex, and like in an automatic pencil, that would extend to replace the damaged area.

[Insurgent]

Yes, there is enough and a high-explosive projectile to smash all these garlands on the tower)))

[segamegament]

Well, after the OFS, besides the garlands, the tower may fall off

[Nuar]

strange as a tractor driver falls .. is it not a permanent photo, is it?

Pe. Behold. hmm .. although this is not a tank. Maybe in "Bedley" hatches are somehow ridiculously located?

Peh peh. is it really difficult to leave comments on photos?

[Kars]

Quote: Nuar

... Maybe at Bedley

I, too, first beguiled with Bradley, Warrior is.

[Nuar]

Karsexactly he. and I almost dislocated my brains - "HOW this with Bradley launcher "TOU" screwed up "

but even with Varion it is not clear. This man that got out of the tower and sang the Yankee doodle before falling down? and falling dancing is still a pleasure

What can I say, fortunately, I was not in such a situation.
Do you have some more photos.

[Nuar]

hm oil workers burn well.

Given that Vario’s fuel tank in Akurat under the tower, the boy still didn’t really catch fire ...

(By the way, where are the pictures from?)

Google is big, anything comes across - this one also daddled.

I have a selection of such beauty from around the internet, pieces of 250 photos of different ...

[BOB48]

come on more and more

[ALEXXX1983]

of course it’s not a bad thing - but the new equipment gets into the troops in small quantities - so the bulk of it is Soviet-made equipment with much more primitive systems

[We are bored]

VOMZ - Vologda, not Volgograd, Optical-mechanical plant!
