Sohu: T-14 Armata tank can become a real gem for India

On the pages of the Chinese information portal Sohu published material on the upcoming putting into service tank parts and formations of the RF Armed Forces of new generation equipment. We are talking primarily about the T-14 Armata tanks.

At the same time, the author in the Chinese media expresses a kind of concern that one of the main geopolitical opponents of the PRC, India, may become the first foreign buyer of the newest Russian T-14 tank.

Sohu:

It is expected that next year this tank will be officially exported, and India may become the first buyer of this tank. To date, India has ordered 464 improved T-90 main battle tanks in Russia and is interested in ordering 500 T-14 Armata main battle tanks. For India, which has recently attached particular importance to the development of its army, this Russian tank will become a real gem.

However, the author notes that India is not ready to act without looking back at the United States. This is a kind of hint that the United States may have an impact on India - similar to that which they have under the CAATSA package of restrictive measures. It is worth recalling that American politicians have repeatedly tried to scare India with sanctions when they purchase the S-400 Triumph anti-aircraft missile systems from Russia. To prevent the deal from being blocked, India has to sign major military contracts with the United States. However, recently in New Delhi they announced their readiness to reject the American proposal for the supply of the F-21 fighter (modernization of the F-16 specifically for India), which has already caused, to put it mildly, disapproving exclamations from the United States.

It should be noted that from India itself there is no official confirmation of readiness to acquire up to 500 Russian T-14 Armata tanks at the moment.

They’ll sell it to the Indians, save up money, which they will buy for their army. An expensive car, however.

[knn54]

India intended to buy 1770 Armata tanks from Russia (there are now so many T-72s in the Indian Armed Forces). The amount of the contract is about $ 4,5 billion.
That is, for one T-14, the Indians are ready to give $ 2,5 million each. This is the cost of the T-90C in the simplest configuration, delivered in the early 2000s. The cost of the T-14 is more than 2 times more. India is not ready to pay so much.

[Ross xnumx]

Quote: knn54

The cost of T-14 more than 2 times more. India is not ready to pay so much.

I do not like this shadow cast by horseradish on foreign objects. You would have already learned to read and count.
https://ria.ru/20181004/1529941355.html

... the deal is tentatively valued at more than $ 4,5 billion.

This means that India is ready to allocate such an amount for the purchase of T-14 tanks, but it is not a fact that Russia will supply the number of tanks with exactly 1770.
This is all foreplay.
You have indicated the calculated cost of the T-14 at $ 2,5 million (in the transaction option). But there are other people who also provide data:

Oleg Sienko, General Director of Uralvagonzavod, provided data on the cost of the Armata’s newest Russian T-14 tank after launching mass production. According to him, one combat vehicle will cost the customer 250 million rubles or 3.7 million dollars at the current rate.

Using the “scientific poke” method, we determine that it is in:
3,7: 2,5 = 1,48
roughly, one and a half times more, less.
Let's wait and tell us exactly what the parties agree on.

[The leader of the Redskins]

Bravo!!!)))

[_Ugene_]

Sohu: T-14 Armata tank can become a real gem for India

it can become a real gem for Russia, maybe we will wait someday

[The leader of the Redskins]

He can even become a black pearl ... for the price ....

[VO3A]

Yes there is no pearl! T-14 realizes its capabilities within the framework of Combat Information Systems (who like network-centric) ... We do not have them, T-14 is not entered anywhere, the application has not been worked out, tactical techniques, even the requirements for them, have not been developed ... this one doesn’t need and will burn 30 seconds longer than the T-72 ... There is a tank, but we don’t know how to use it ... This applies to the Coalition and the Tornado ... There are communication channels in the framework of un-created systems, and there is NO external real-time targeting system with information assessment and its exchange ... And you can protect the headquarters and carry out stripping in the 3rd echelon on the T-72 ...

[_Ugene_]

and without Combat Information Systems, he can’t realize his capabilities in any way? since there are no such systems, so can we completely refuse from armored vehicles? all the same, after all, everything will burn up and no matter what

[VO3A]

Why do we need a new darling with new things with the impossibility of realizing its capabilities, if the old upgraded one is fully suitable ... There are no requests for the new one, it is not needed ... Its capabilities are redundant and cannot be used ...

[_Ugene_]

if the old modernized is fully suitable

what is it suitable for? it is impossible to endlessly upgrade the T-72

Its capabilities are redundant and cannot be used.

how, for example, the security of the crew can be redundant and why it "cannot be used"? Is there at least one tank in the world with excessive, redundant crew protection? and what exactly, in your opinion, in Armata "cannot be used"?

[VO3A]

It’s difficult with such ... The most important defense for a tank is more complete information about the enemy, about the location of the squad .... And when you are beaten and you don’t know where or who, no capsule will help ... And active systems too ... now understand? To all such pluses too ... Get off your horse, you are forever behind and this is not yours ...
Modern means shoot at the tank from 12 km and closer, promising ones already in service from 24 km and closer .. And cover helicopters may not fly in and mobile defense means in combat order are not enough, they are outdated ... Without LSI and new means composition of their own battle formations, which are subordinate to tank units, nowhere ... Chew ..

[_Ugene_]

Difficult with such ... Now it is clear? Get off the horse. this is your level ... Chew ..

dear man, can you assert yourself in any way? Well, try, try, maybe it’s better
and about the issue we are discussing, it seems to you that the qualities of specific military units do not matter, the main thing is that everyone should be connected to the network and controlled within the framework of the CIUS, well, let's tie the cavalrymen with drafts into one information network and put up modern armored vehicles without them network-centric principles, and what happens? This is me to the fact that the concept of network-centric warfare is all right and good, but if each combat unit individually is obsolete, then there will be no sense anyway, so modern armored vehicles are definitely needed

[VO3A]

And then, see tank biathlon, this is for you, this is your level ...

but I still thought what the hell is there another rink in the cart, over there! )))))))))))))
72x modernization cost is several times less, generals simply save

[codetalker]

Let's wait until it becomes the pearl of our sun :)

[Doccor18]

Moreover, the author in the Chinese media expresses a kind of concern ...

And what prevents the Chinese from purchasing two or three hundred T-14s too? And the parity is maintained. Su-30 was bought by both India and China.

[Zaurbek]

They don’t need it anymore. They went to the modern level.

[Thrifty]

Is Zaurbek such a banter? A new level, like in computer shooting? The Chinese before the T90M century crawl on all fours, and you said that they themselves can do something better than T14!

[Zaurbek]

And here is the banter? They reached the level of T90CM. MSA and IR systems are, as it were, not better than ours. 3rd generation ATGM is. Localization is complete. T14 is a set of certain technologies. If they are, then the car can be done really.

[standan]

Of what? Of shit and sticks? A tank is not only an MSA and IR, it is also a chassis, and armor, and much more. Even at the last tank biathlon, the Chinese did not grow together. Although their best tip99 was sent against our T72.

[Zaurbek]

So they do not stand still. They work. They themselves can’t do it, invite those who can. Or buy them. Tank diesel engines 1500ls they are serially made. We do?

[Bad_gr]

Quote: Zaurbek

Tank diesel engines 1500ls they are serially made.

Due to the size of the engine compartment with this engine, their tank is almost a meter longer than ours.

[Zaurbek]

Which one? Do we have a 1500ls diesel? One is X-shaped on Armata. But even there, one car’s rink is longer. And it is not yet serial.

[yfast]

They also have lithium 18650 batteries of 30000 Ah, I saw it myself. Why do they need 1500 hp diesel?
I put such batteries and go take Moscow on one charge.

[Zaurbek]

So they put them on non-nuclear submarines .... and then we laugh when Varshavyanka leaves the market and does not withstand competition.

Their Type99 where it stands, as they say 1500 strong engine

By the way, the X-shaped engine (a relative of what stands on Armata) stood at our facility 187, the hull of which is only 30 cm longer than the T-72 hull and everything fit together with cooling radiators. The power of the X-shaped easily changes from 1200 to 2000 horses, but affects the motor resource.
By the way, the type-99 weighs 54 tons and to a large extent the weight was added due to the longer engine compartment, which is accordingly armored.

[Zaurbek]

But the size of X diesel is larger ..... but the Chinese have 1500ls diesel engine serial, but we do not.

[Bad_gr]

Quote: Zaurbek

But the size of the X diesel is bigger ....

Where are such conclusions from ?

[Zaurbek]

Larger displacement engine, larger in size .... and MTO in Armata larger in size

[Bad_gr]

And what I wrote above did you read? I repeat:
Tip99 per meter longer than T-72
The X-shaped engine (from the same line that stands on Armata) was placed on the object 187, which is 72cm longer than the T-30, with some of these 30 cm falling on the front of the object (the weakened area of ​​the driver was removed)

[Zaurbek]

Ok .... X serial diesel?

[Bad_gr]

Quote: Zaurbek

Ok .... X serial diesel?

(ChTZ) a whole line of engines of the 2B family is produced, from 6 to 16 cylinders. X-shaped layout only for multi-cylinder. They are used in the oil and gas industry on diesel generators, tractors.

[Zaurbek]

X-shaped, 12-cylinder diesel turbo-piston engine A-85-3A / 12N360 / 2V-12-3A, rated at 1500 hp, developed by the Chelyabinsk GSKB Transdiesel. The engine was developed for two decades and was originally designed as a completely new power plant for new tanks, such as the current "Armata". In 2011, the engine passed the full cycle of state tests and is mass-produced at the Chelyabinsk Tractor Plant (ChTZ). Nevertheless, during the International military-technical forum “Army-2019”, military experts noted that they held "An analysis of the characteristics and structural appearance of the ChTZ engines shows that the 2V-12-3A is inferior to its foreign counterparts in fuel efficiency, resource, oil consumption, specific heat transfer and other important indicators." Therefore, for the development of the Armata platform, the Ministry of Defense wants to get an engine that provides better performance than 2V-12-3A, and considers the 12TV373CH diesel engine (the Seagull) as the base. However, not everything is smooth with him. Despite the fact that the development of 12TV373CH should have been completed in the fourth quarter of 2017, this has not yet happened.

The engine was developed for two decades and was originally designed as a completely new power plant for new tanks,

More precisely: ".... One of the directions of development work carried out in the 70s is the design of a new unified family of 2B diesel engines for a promising generation of military tracked vehicles and the possibility of their use in national economic vehicles. The basis for its implementation was the Resolution The Central Committee of the CPSU and the USSR Council of Ministers dated June 8, 1970. The task was to equip new machines of all classes with unified diesel engines that meet modern and future requirements for power, efficiency and reliability ... "

Quote: Zaurbek

their analysis of the characteristics and design of the ChTZ engines shows that 2V-12-3A is inferior to foreign analogues

Passed a full test cycle at facility 195, and at facility 148 (Armata or T-14) ceased to meet the requirements?

[Zaurbek]

Apparently: modern requirements.

[Bad_gr]

Quote: Zaurbek

Apparently: modern requirements.

I think undercover games between managers from engine manufacturers.
The same picture is with "Kurganets-25" - they still do not decide which of the two proposed engines to install. It’s bad that they don’t put the best one, but the one with the smartest representative.

[Zaurbek]

As far as I read, there is either an old volumetric set or some new one .... which one I did not understand. And the whole layout of the lower part and the place of the mech-water depends on the diesel engine.

[Free wind]

The Chinese drove a T-96.

But what did the Russian Federation drive? T72 with diesel 1180ls. This is not the crown of tankostronium.

[strelokmira]

They don’t need it anymore. They went to the modern level.

What do you throw beads before the Urahs, you don’t see here the adherents of the numbing analogues gathered ...
This is all exactly what the land planners to explain that the earth is round

[Zaurbek]

What I mean is that a tank, in principle, can now be built by a technically developed country ... if desired. There are specialists and technologies. The question is how much money the country is willing to spend. And China is one of those countries. And its technological level is specifically in the engine structure, electronics, ammunition in something like ours, in something better, in something a little worse. But precisely in doing what they did in T14, I don't think the Chinese were too late. In the 21st century, the main performance characteristics of tanks are very close and the "coolness" will be in the presence of KAZ and the exchange of data between tanks and drones. Without this, even the coolest tanks will suffer terrible losses even from guerrillas with systems like the Cornet and Tou. The 152mm cumulative will take out 120 cm of any armor on any tank.

[Cyril G ...]

They are there different Su-30s. Indian will be better!

[Zaurbek]

Not a fact ... the Chinas also heaped up both J10 and J11

[Cyril G ...]

Gee is ten single-engine, but G-11 is an unlicensed copy of the Su-27

[Zaurbek]

1. bought a license of the Chinese. On AL31 did not buy.
2. Wisely made a light fighter with the same engine. If we had one, now we would be modernized in the image and likeness of the Su35C.
10 and 11 already fly with AFAR.

[Cyril G ...]

Is there any evidence for this? Are you sure that the Chinese AFAR is even better than Barca?

[Zaurbek]

The reverse question is the same for you. Well, if the energy of radars is similar and this is AFAR (and this is the next generation of arrays) then there should be a definite advantage. Not as devastating as with a slot antenna, of course.

[Cyril G ...]

According to Chinese radar with AFAR. Firstly, such an AFAR requires intensive cooling, and secondly, efficient operation in the multi-frequency mode (I mean such a pulse formation at which each anti-clock pulse operates at its own frequency) and the multitasking mode raises serious doubts as to whether the radiation power of the Chinese AFARs and, accordingly, the detection range are comparable with Irbis, it is doubtful somehow.

[Zaurbek]

Well, the Americans decided this topic .... AFAR went to F15,16,18 ..... The Chinese are much dumber in Soft?

[Cyril G ...]

and. To what extent all these issues have been resolved, the question is complex.
b. The point is not software at all, but the technologies for creating radar equipment.

[Grits]

Quote: Doccor18

And what prevents the Chinese from purchasing two or three hundred T-14s too? And the parity is maintained. Su-30 was bought by both India and China.

China rivets its tanks in unlimited quantities, of various types and purposes. And moreover, at the world level. So now honor does not allow him to buy. In Russian - to the bastard.

To me America more and more resembles a merchant accompanied by a dozen unshaven bald guys with clubs. “If you buy from competitors, we'll beat off the kidneys. Or maybe we'll break our heads altogether.” Just think - if the product is of high quality, you won't have to force anyone, just collect the bucks. The fact that America has slipped into banal blackmail shows the real state of affairs best of all. As for India ... apart from the Chinese, Pakistan hangs on its tail. I don’t think that they will decide right now to contact China, especially with its explicit support from Russia. A glance at the United States may just turn out to be blackmail on the part of the "hegemon." India has no reason to quarrel with either us or the United States, so they don't know what to do.

[krillon]

What does it mean reminds, if it is. Smedley Darlington Butler, 1881-1940, Major General of the United States Marine Corps, wrote an interesting book in 1935, "War is Just a Racket." I recommend.

[etherion]

India is far away ... China and the USA are close. If only they wouldn’t rattle the profit again. And they did not disgrace themselves with poor-quality assembly and spare parts, as was already the case with an aircraft carrier and aircraft.

There are no friends, there are partners. Different degrees of friendliness, hostility.

[Anchonsha]

.... the Chinese are not at ease even from rumors about the supply of T-14 to the Indians. But how they poured dirt on the T-14 in order to compromise them. Only not soon we will put T-14 in our troops

[A. Privalov]

Something I doubt that it will be possible to sell the Indians such a still green technique as "Armata".
When we sold them the Barak-8 anti-aircraft missile system, we first had to install on two ships at our own expense, conduct training demonstrations at various targets, and then each shot costs 500 thousand dollars. They twisted their faces for a long time.

[Cyril G ...]

Are you sure that we are talking about Barak-8? And then there is infa, including in Jane for the 15th year that it was Barak-1 that was put on a bunch of ships. As far as I remember, the first Barak-1 received the Godavari type. And the eight silence.

that it will be possible to sell the Indians such a green technique as "Armata".

With the Su-30MKI, for example, it happened. Although it is unlikely that they will now buy Armata.

[A. Privalov]

There were no problems with Barak-1. The system is old, tested, 30 years in operation. But the eight, when they were finalizing for the sea base, then the requirements were increased.

[Cyril G ...]

And where exactly did the eight put? And then I see that on all Indians just Barak or Barak-1 is registered.

[A. Privalov]

I don’t know the details. Excuse me.

[Cyril G ...]

Clear. It's just that I was somewhat amazed at the mention of the "Eight". That's why I specified it.

[veritas]

Hindus are a difficult buyer, Su 57 did not suit them, it will be the same with Armata. While the car is damp and expensive, they will not succeed in boiling it.

[Cyril G ...]

it's not even a matter of dampness, look at how the "mega" tender for the purchase of 126 light fighters instead of the MiG-21 was held, which ended with the purchase of 36 Raphales. The series Santa Barbara nervously smokes on the sidelines ...

[APASUS]

It may become, but it will not! The problem is not in the tank, but in the tricks of the Indians themselves, they will change hands three times a day and what they need to not understand

[Lara Croft]

It should be noted that from India itself there is no official confirmation of readiness to acquire up to 500 Russian T-14 Armata tanks at the moment.

Key phrase of the article ... it looks like the article was written for the sake of the article ...

[Aleks2000]

I see the people are already used to fairy tales. No hype, listless skepticism.

[Vladislav_2]

with "Bedouins and their dances with a tambourine" you can expect anything .... until they bring down the price in favor of their "pocket", they will find fault with and criticize this technique (regardless of the manufacturer) until the price decreases ..... maybe they came from the great Ukrov and helped them dig out the Black Sea

[Evil 55]

It would be the greatest stupidity to export a tank that has not undergone experimental operation in the army .. I know from experience that complaints about military equipment in this case are calculated in suitcases, not pieces.

[Zaurbek]

To begin with, if you approach correctly, having production and a license for T90, you need to set up the same program as in the Russian Federation, the production of T90SM and the modernization of the existing more than 300 pieces of T90 to the level of SM. Moreover, the Indians can make the car more progressive than our T90M, because have cooperation with both Israel and France, and therefore optics and communications can deliver the most modern.

[Devil13]

This will not cure the water penetration rate that is made possible by the main modern OBPS.

[Zaurbek]

Why? Replace overhead armor plates, put a new DZ .... another question: who is protected from the ATGM Cornet with 1200mm penetration?

[Devil13]

Because the armor plates are not overhead, they are a combined "package" fused into the body, and not overlays on the forehead.
If the cornet is 1200mm per DZ (tandem), then any car with KAZ.
And yes, we are talking about battle options and tank-tank comparisons, don’t you be bothered that they don’t shoot cornet from the tank?

[Zaurbek]

98% of tank defeats after the war were not from tanks .... and yes, I agree, the T90 will not survive the weight gain .... there’s Armata ... And Abrams and Leo are initially more powerful carts and can be heavier .

[Ros 56]

They haven’t come up with a dance for this tank yet, so far it’s written with a pitchfork on the water.

[Devil13]

Please sell it to the Indians.
And the run-in, and a lot of dough UVZ and military-industrial complex, and maybe then at least 1k in our army will be able to put, and also upgrade
