T-90M: tests passed, service soon

66

In accordance with the previously announced plans, the promising main battle tank T-90M "Breakthrough" completed the passage of state tests. Now the Ministry of Defense will have to analyze their results and carry out several organizational procedures, after which deliveries of serial equipment for combat units will begin.

Latest news


The start of state testing of the T-90M became known several months ago. Subsequently, officials confirmed this information and clarified the timing of the necessary events. So, at the end of November last year, the commander in chief of the army, Army General Oleg Salyukov said that in the near future the state tests of several new models of equipment will be completed - including MBT T-90M. After that, mass production starts.



In late December, Deputy Minister of Defense Aleksey Krivoruchko called a more accurate date. It was planned to complete the state tests of the Breakthrough before the end of the month. According to the test results, the Ministry of Defense will have to decide on the adoption of tank into service and the launch of mass production.

February 5 RIA "News"With reference to a representative of NPK Uralvagonzavod announced the completion of state tests of the T-90M. The tank successfully completed the checks, which opens the way for him to the troops. Now his further fate depends on the customer in the person of the Ministry of Defense. It should conduct an analysis of the test results, and then carry out the acceptance into service and start the series.

Existing contracts


It should be noted that contracts for the serial production of T-90M tanks already exist - they appeared long before the completion of state tests and the official adoption of equipment for service. In addition, the command noted that the supply of tanks had already begun.


The Ministry of Defense and NPK UVZ signed the first contract for the supply of T-90M tanks at the Army 2017 forum. This document provided for the production of 30 tanks of the new model - both built from scratch, and rebuilt from the existing T-90A. Deliveries were supposed to begin in 2018, but subsequently their start was postponed to 2019.

A year later, at the Army-2018 forum, another agreement was concluded. From unofficial sources then it became known that the contract again provides for the supply of 30 tanks, but now we are only talking about new-built vehicles.

Army 2019 has again become a platform for signing contracts for the supply of equipment. NPK UVZ received several large orders, including for the construction and modernization of tanks to the level of T-90M. In the relevant media it was reported that the new contract provides for the manufacture of hundreds of tanks with delivery over the next few years.

Thus, to date, about 160 MBT T-90M MBTs have been contracted, both new buildings and those intended for rework from existing equipment. Part of the ordered tanks is already ready. So, in early October, the commander in chief of the ground forces, General Salyukov, said that the army received the first “Breakthroughs." In parallel, other domestic MBTs are being developed.


The Ministry of Defense has to carry out the necessary procedures for the adoption of a new tank for service. By the time they are completed and the corresponding orders appear in the troops, there will already be a certain number of tanks of a new type. In addition, the industry has already mastered the production of the T-90M from scratch and the restructuring of the equipment of previous modifications - this will allow to obtain the desired rate of supply of tanks to the troops and carry out re-equipment in the required time.

Replacement Issues


The main goal of the T-90M project is to carry out a deep modernization of part of the OBT T-90 / T-90A fleet and to supplement these machines with new production equipment. Due to the use of modern components and assemblies, the T-90M Breakthrough tank surpasses its predecessors in all the main tactical and technical characteristics, which should have a positive effect on the overall performance of the ground forces.

According to open domestic and foreign sources, at present, there are approx. 350 tanks T-90 (A). Another approx. 200 cars are in storage. In accordance with existing contracts, the army will receive 160 tanks of the latest modification with improved characteristics. Of these tanks, stipulated by three contracts, only a few dozen will be rebuilt. The vast majority of equipment is planned to be rebuilt from existing MBT.

According to some estimates, the T-90M project allows you to make updated equipment not only from T-90A tanks, but also from the T-90 base modification. This will allow taking tanks for modernization not only from combat units, but also from storage. Thanks to this, it becomes possible not only to upgrade the existing "active" park, but also to supplement it with updated equipment from storage.


The Ministry of Defense has not yet specified plans of this kind. The number of tanks of the T-90 family and the share of various modifications after current orders are still unknown. Perhaps this issue will be clarified in the future.

Benefits New


The T-90M project provides for the comprehensive modernization of the existing tank with the upgrade of all major systems and a corresponding increase in performance and capabilities. At the same time, a high degree of unification remains, simplifying operation.

The issues of increasing combat stability and survivability were resolved by using additional protective equipment. Own armor of the hull and turret is supplemented by dynamic Relic type protection and trellised screens. The possibility of installing a complex of active protection is being considered.

Internal volumes are rearranged taking into account possible threats and risk reduction. Inhabited compartments received anti-fragmentation lining, protecting the crew and equipment from the secondary stream of fragments. Part of the ammunition is removed from the fighting compartment in the aft niche of the tower. Comfortable crew working conditions are provided by air conditioning and a heater.


The standard 2A46 cannon can be replaced with a 2A82-1M gun with enhanced combat characteristics. A thorough modernization of the fire control system, which meets modern requirements, has been carried out. Now all the processes of preparation for the shot are carried out only by digital equipment. A DUBM with a large-caliber machine gun is installed on the tower, which allows firing without leaving the protected volume.

The effectiveness of combat work is significantly increased due to the inclusion of the tank in a single tactical management system. The corresponding devices for the Breakthrough were developed by the Constellation concern. With their help, the tank can exchange data on the situation on the battlefield, receive target designation, etc.

Tanks of the future


According to various estimates, as a result of such modernization, the combat qualities and potential of the tank grow significantly. Accordingly, the mass production and development of advanced technology will most noticeably affect the combat effectiveness of the ground forces. 150-160 tanks with modern equipment and weapons quite capable of becoming a serious force.

However, not only the improved T-90M tank is of great importance to the army. For quite some time, modernized T-72B3s have been delivered in large quantities, and the promising T-14 is also expected to be adopted. Thus, the T-90M, not yet adopted for service, is an element of a major program of modernization of the fleet of armored vehicles. And the completion of his tests becomes a major event in the framework of this program.

    Well, it is difficult to call it a "future" tank, but a "present" tank is quite! The main thing is that its introduction into the troops does not interfere with the appearance of Aromat, which is really the next generation tank. It is a pity that the article does not indicate which KAZ are going to equip it. We were the first-borns in the development of KAZ, but unfortunately we are already lagging behind in implementation. Israel already puts KAZ massively on the Merkavas. The appearance of such tanks in Syria would make it possible to preserve equipment and crew, and running in combat conditions would not hurt soldier

So you can go on wandering around in your fantasies about the usefulness of three tanks, three attack helicopters (ka-52, mi-28 and the notorious crocodile modification) I can also recall the arrogant heap of armored vehicles, which is interchangeable, about our anti-ship missiles, which became a byword all the way, so good luck and don't get sick

But the French have only one tank, and the fact that the modifications are like dirt (the spread in weight between some of more than 15 tons) is not essential, what the suppliers will bring to any modification will be out of place.

              I'm not talking about re-melting. I just think that they are out of date. Unfortunately, we always succumbed to suo. Plus weak booking. As for me, it is better to have one Armata than three T-72s. I remember how in the first Iraq campaign the Americans boasted that they took the T-72 from the Rheinmetal gun in the forehead .. I did not believe from the beginning, but then a lot of literature on this topic appeared. What was more frustrating is that at 72 nd we simply did not see the enemy at night. And in any dueling situation (although of course there were none), our tank had almost no chance. They just had thermal imagers, but ours didn’t. The same can be said about panoramic sights, the lack of normal BOPS. Therefore, I think exactly as I wrote above

                Just the essence of modernization consists in replacing the OMS, increasing the armor, even the consignment note, at least the DZ, and there’s nothing to say about BOPS. About modernizations abroad, I hope you don’t imagine that the Abrams and Leopards immediately became SEP-3 or 2A7? Or that they were originally equipped with thermal imagers?

                  Do you think the supply of modernization is so great? Honestly not sure. Western cars are larger, so the same Abrams has a larger supply of modernization. I remember how, as a teenager, I first visited a tank repair plant near Chita. And he was surprised how little space in the tank. And as for the literature ... You understand that each bird praises its nest. You just need to find a middle ground and be able to determine where the truth is and where the lie is.

                    Sorry, but larger means harder, I'm afraid it will turn out to be news to you that the modernization of the tank is overwhelmingly limited not by size but by weight. And by the way, let me remind you that the T-90 is by no means a separate type of tank, but a modernized T-72, approximately like the Leo-2A2 and 2A5.

                        Like the T-72. In the mid-80s, I was in practice in the workshop where these towers were made. I saw the whole process from the inside. Most of all I remember the lathe on which the shoulder strap of the tower was machined ...

                What was more frustrating is that at 72 nd we simply did not see the enemy at night. And in any dueling situation (although of course there were none), our tank had almost no chance. They just had thermal imagers, but ours didn’t.

                you contradict yourself. And write some kind of nonsense. First, write that it is more useful to throw all old tanks into scrap, but in your claim, indicate problems with the arrester and PNK of the commander and gunner. That is, with what is being treated with simple modernization. Those. In your opinion, instead of putting a more modern SUV Kalina instead of Redoubt, it was necessary to send for re-melting all the tanks on which Redut stood?

                Sometimes, on the battlefield, three cannons on 72 are better than 1 on Armata. There aren’t many tanks.

                Soviet tanks all the way from T-54 were armored much better than the western ones ... in the 90s they caught up with us (no more), but with the advent of the T-90 we again went ahead ... about the T-14 and there is nothing to say.

                If M1 of the end of the 80s with shells of the end of the 80s didn’t take into the forehead the worsened versions and the Pole (up to sand as a filler in the tower) T-72M of the beginning of the 70s it would be something .... though ... the planet has already found a photo of the affected M829 T-72M exactly in the forehead and precisely in battle? And then 20 thousand scraps of uranium scraps were written off, and all the pictures of the Iraqi tanks struck were from the kuma ...

          And what are the problems with production? Problems with exploitation. Three tanks and, accordingly, three different lists of spare parts.

              This goes without saying. And so that there is a unification of spare parts, all the rest of the equipment in the connection is also done on the basis of the same tank: Repair and recovery vehicles, engineering. Etc. Three non-interchangeable kits. And after the loss of equipment, the question arises of where to get the equipment of a particular brand for restoration of numbers, so that there would be no sorting.

          I include in the number "3" a non-formal number of weapons in the MO catalog, such as fusies, AKs and blasters. And three types of main tanks with the same gun, where the Gunner trained on the T-90m will not be able to fight on the 72 and the armature. And vice versa.

    The tank makes a good impression, the dynamic protection blocks are very neatly arranged, the side walls of the hull are improved, the heater, the condo are all great. But the question arises of active protection ......... The questions are also about control, it seems they talked about the control of the steering wheel type, but the latest driver’s mechanical drive controls the levers. A matter of habit, of course, but helm control is clearer. Yes, and it's time to transfer control to joysticks.

        and it significantly increases the overall width, which is very, very inconvenient, and there are also minor inconveniences such as refueling an external 3 fuel tank, as a mechanic go to the MTO, only through the tower, and you can get in the face for walking around the tower.

    Dist machine gun on the tower, anti-fragmentation rebound, part of the BC in the niche behind the tower, relict will significantly increase the survival of the crew. T-90m. Such a tank is a real shield of the borders of the Motherland, in contrast to the ephemeral ghostly armata.

    The effectiveness of combat work is significantly increased due to the inclusion of the tank in a single tactical management system. The corresponding devices for the Breakthrough were developed by the Constellation concern.

    Judging by the photographs, these devices were invented about 15 years ago.

    I remember how, as a teenager, I first visited a tank repair plant near Chita. And he was surprised how little space in the tank.

    What is the name of the settlement - ATAMANOVKA! Cool! I had the pleasure of driving the T-34-85 "Revolutionary Mongolia" there. Free space is normal there. There is enough space for fulfilling the standard to wear OZK in the form of a jumpsuit. It seems to be cramped out of habit.

    It is necessary to work out the version of the T-90M turret so that it can be installed on any of the available T-72, T-80 and T-90 tanks of all the early versions with minimal changes (or by installing the required module). Once we have three tanks, so at least let there be one tower.
