The modernized T-72B3 surpasses the "flying" T-80BV

74
Industry continues to supply the Russian army tanks T-72B3. Currently, in addition to Nizhny Tagil on the modernization of the "seventy-two" are also working in Omsk. The modernized T-72B3 replaces in the troops not only the old versions of the Ural tanks, but also the gas turbine T-80BV.

The modernized T-72B3 surpasses the "flying" T-80BV

T-72B3


According to the newspaper of the Western Military District "Guarding the Motherland", the tank battalion of one of the motorized rifle brigades of the district was fired for the first time with a regular shell of modernized T-72 tanks that appeared in service at the end of 2012. Earlier in service with this compound were T-80.

Such a replacement caused a mixed reaction. Many consider it unequal.
The T-80BV was adopted as early as 1985. In fact, it differed from the base model 1978 of the year only by setting the first-generation dynamic protection "Contact." At the end of the 70s, the T-80Bs were considered the best in the world, but in the middle of the 80s, they already began to give way to their western peers in terms of some characteristics, in particular, if possible, to fight at night.


T-80B


As a result, at the Kirov plant in Leningrad in 1985, the new T-80U tank was launched in a series, which in its characteristics in 1,25 was superior to the previous model. But, unfortunately, this tank, still considered one of the best in the world, was released in a very limited series. In addition, most of the machines of this type did not receive the Agave-2 thermal imager developed for them.

As for the T-80BV, then at present this machine is considered obsolete by all characteristics. The armor protection of this tank does not correspond to the existing threats, the guided weapons complex is not working, and the means of communication are also outdated. The only advantage is the engine in the 1100 HP. But he is very voracious. The fuel supply of 1090 liters plus 680 liters in external tanks, and the power reserve is very small, only about 370 km. In addition, the turbine itself is almost 10 times more expensive than the B-84 engine used on the T-72B3.

As for the T-72B3, there was an opportunity to tighten the characteristics of the machine to the modern level. The most radical, that appeared on the tank, is the installation of one of the best in the world multichannel sight "Pine-U", with a thermal imager. As a result, the gunner operator is now capable of hitting targets, including guided missiles, at any time of the day, without paying attention to dust, fumes and other adverse conditions. The sight has an automatic target tracking, which greatly facilitates the work of the shooter.


T-80BV


The commander of the vehicle was given the opportunity to duplicate the work of the gunner-operator; on the screen he has, he receives a “picture” from the main sight. The gun, communications equipment, and others were also replaced with new ones.

T-72B3 was first criticized for a somewhat flawed installation of dynamic protection, but this flaw is now being eliminated.

As for the T-80BV, the designers from St. Petersburg have developed a lot of modifications of this tank, but at present the course has been set for unifying the tank fleet, and therefore the gas turbine vehicles will be removed from the army as the resource progresses.


T-80U


Although the gas turbine direction should not be completely abandoned. It is necessary to continue the research work in this topic.

    A very dull upgrade. In fact, from the T-72B mod. 89 differs only in the sight and the absence of the "moon". The ERA units on the turret are installed in the best traditions of UVZ - crooked, obliquely and poorly. Particularly impressive is the place where the "moon" spotlight used to hang. Although it is obvious that in this case the design and technology of the tower is to blame - the cast dome-shaped crap somehow does not contribute to the normal placement of the DZ blocks, and the welded tower, unfortunately, is not included in the upgrade kit.

        The fact of the matter is that this is a lot of things that are just stuffing. Everything else is original. The power plant was not changed, the auxiliary power plant does not smell, the remote control of the anti-aircraft machine-gun installation was not delivered - they were limited to the shield. Very dejectedly, yes, but to replace the dead, the 80s will do.

          About the killed 80s .... to put it mildly, do not get excited. They are not dead. And the reliability of the power plant and transmission with the chassis is a cut above the T-72. I happened to serve on all types of tanks, from T-54 to T-90. Most of the positive is from the T-80.
          Now many "experts" say that we need a new tank that meets modern requirements. Here at least one of these talkers said WHAT tank is it ?? And how to fit it into modern conditions, when a penny grenade launcher is capable of burning a multimillion-dollar car !!
          The point is not in tanks, but in their application and the conditions of the environment into which these tanks fall by chance.
          And in China in 2009, the T-80 made a splash. Reliability, maneuverability, accuracy and virtually no ... damage. And this is on machines with 20-25 years of age. The guys who were in the armor just competently did their job.

      fellow Dynamic protection is placed correctly, here we copied the Chinese. The fact is that grenade launchers rarely attack a tank in the forehead, the bulk of grenade launcher shots occur at an angle, and here the protection is optimal.

        Contact-5 on the production T-72B has been made since the 89th year and it was set exactly the same crookedly. Who copied whom is a moot point. At the expense of grenade launchers - you are again wrong. On the same site there is an article with an interesting photo and its description:
        T-72B (M) 74th Guards Omsbr, struck by a shot from an RPG in an unprotected gap between the KDZ overhead of a tower and a fenced-in fuel tank (apparently, they tried to hit a tank with a second grenade in a tower’s already unprotected fuel tank). The crew of the tank died. January 1995

              It obviously didn’t hit the top plate, as it was originally planned, but if it fell into the ground, KAZ would not detonate - KAZ reacts to grenades within a radius of 2 m. On the video of a high-speed camera, the undermining of the PG-7VR is visible.

        The slingshot is the most tracked modernization of the T-72 (the T-90 was not even close). The only negative thing about the slingshot is the engine. It is high time for Russia to find an alternative to the engine with a 75-year history. But again, the greed of Russian officials knows no bounds - their children will not serve in the army, they will "serve" in Oxford and Ibiza.

                        I won’t talk about global trends, you don’t like this word. I’ll say easier, two-stroke diesel engines for MBT are not produced by more than one country in the world except Ukraine. If they were so effective + price quality. World corporations, BAE Systems, Deneral Dynamics , would have already put their production on stream.
                        You didn’t think about why tank diesel engines for MBTs are released only by countries producing aircraft engines. Although dozens of countries produce cars. Even the Koreans, with their technologies, cannot make a modern engine for their MBTs.
                        Ukraine also did not come up with anything new. The engines of the 5TDF and 6TD families operate a legacy of technologies invented in the USSR.

                And if the design bureau remains "out of business for the tank" and does not even propose modernization projects for the T-80, do you think this is normal? It was one of the two leading design bureaus in the Soviet Union, which followed its own path without putting a spoke in the wheels. There was a normal constructive competition with the KMDB, in contrast to the UVZ, which actively watered and throw mud at everyone, taking the merits of others.

                    After adopting the T-80 tank, work began to improve its design. The work was carried out in two directions. In the design bureau of the Malyshev Plant, the Object 478 tank was being developed; in parallel, work on the modernized T-80 tank under the designation Object 219A was started in the design bureau of the Kirov Plant. The Kharkov version of the modernization of the T-80 involved equipping the chassis of the “Object 219A” with a 6TD-1 diesel engine with a capacity of 1000 hp, as well as installing a new promising tower developed for the T-64A modernization project under the designation “Object 476”. In 1976, the design of the machine was completed, but further work on it was not continued, since the main emphasis at that time was on gas turbine power plants. After the death of D.F. Ustinov, the support of the design bureau of the Leningrad Kirov Plant began to weaken and the Ministry of Defense was seriously thinking about transferring T-80 tanks to diesel engines, since the chassis of T-64A tanks completely exhausted their modernization capabilities and its further development was impractical .

                    As a result, was born
                    Object 478B - T-80UD main battle tank

            And for you, the top of the V-2 engine from the T-34? So he is 75 years old - they could come up with a newer thing.
            Junkers' Suitcase — the Jumo 205 series of two-stroke turbo-turbine aircraft engines with oppositely moving pistons — was created in the early 30s of the twentieth century. The Jumo 205-C engine features the following: 6-cylinder, 600 hp piston stroke 2 x 160 mm, volume 16.62 l., compression ratio 17: 1, at 2.200 rpm.
            On the basis of these developments, A.D. Charomsky in 1947 created a two-stroke M-305 diesel engine with take-off power of 7360 kW (10 hp) and a single-cylinder engine compartment U-000 in the USSR in 305.
            In 1954 A.D. Charomsky comes up with a proposal to create a diesel engine for a medium tank based on the U-305. This proposal coincided with the requirement of the chief designer of the new tank A.A. Morozov, and A.D. Charomsky was appointed chief designer of the plant. V. Malysheva in Kharkov.
            Since the tank motor design bureau of this plant remained mainly in Chelyabinsk, A.D. Charomsky had to form a new design bureau, create an experimental base, set up pilot and serial production, and practice technology that the plant did not have.
            So there is the Soviet 4TPD. It was a working engine, but with one drawback - the power was just over 400 hp, which was not enough for the tank. Charomsky puts another cylinder and gets 5TD (entry 11.02.57).

And what’s interesting, if the country hadn’t invested loot in the Kharkov two-stroke engine for 20 years, so that it worked, and then didn’t swallow a bunch of dough in gas turbines, and a small fraction of those financial and scientific resources would be invested by 4-stroke diesel engines, you’ll now look at all over the world on an equal footing with MTU they traded.

You read an article yesterday that the BMD-4 is $ 2,6 million (!). Imagine how much the mythical ARMATA will cost. So BMD buy 7 units per year. Modernization is inevitable, because today tanks are needed more as a deterrent. Now all local wars are waged in cities - heavy infantry fighting vehicles such as BMPT-64 and Akhzarit are needed there.

And there should be 3000 in parts and as many in warehouses. Not less. By the time the fleet is completely replaced, all obsolete cars must either be sold or scrapped.

                  In early May, the Federal State Unitary Enterprise Rosoboronexport will send Peru - on board the An-124-100 Ruslan - the T-90S battle tank, for an exhibition during the International Salon of Defense Technologies (SITDEF 2013). According to the information, after this event - which will be held from May 15 to 19 - 90 armored brigade, acantonada will be transferred to the strong general of the EP department Rafael Hoyos Rubio (Rimak) to be evaluated and subjected to a series of operational tests. T-18C is a tank - manufacturer Uralvagonzavod (Russia) - which has a length of 90 m (6.86 m with a gun forward), a width of 9,36 m and a height of 3.78 m; as their weight in battle is 2,22 tons. This is a V-46.5 9252 hp diesel engine, which gives a maximum speed of 1000 km / h and a range of 60 to 550 km. The main armament of the T-700S - staffed by 90 members: the boss truck, the gunner and the driver mechanic - the 3 mm 125A2M de anima Lisa guns are equipped with 46 shells and can be, thanks to its automatic charger (which has 42 shells at home), up to 22 rounds per minute. Estimating its range of 7 m. The average armament of two machine guns make up it: NSVT 2500 mm. - with 12.7 rounds - and a 300 x 7,62R FCT with 54 rounds. In addition, the T-2S can fire the 000M90M Rocket Reflex (AT-9 sniper) - guided by a laser - which has a range of 119 to 11 m. Ammunition weight is 75 kg. and a rocket of about 5000 kg.

Currently, the Peruvian army - as part of the modernization program of the armed forces (Ugarte project) - plans to acquire between 4.2 and 900 tanks should replace the old T-120, built between 170-55. In recent months, a technical committee evaluator (FET) - responsible for the overall team from the EP Jose Luis Gomez Sanchez - is technically evaluated in M-1973A78 Abrams (USA) .UU), Leopard 1A1 (proposed by Spain) and 2E4 (Netherlands), T-2e and the stronghold of T-6 (Ukraine) and T-64S.

      They decided on it back in the 80s, when a riot of uninhabited towers, armored capsules and modular structures blossomed among the design heads. However, in the 90s, the Soviet Union collapsed, in the West they scratched their turnips and decided "to hell with this arms race", in Russia everything was much simpler: there was simply no money. And now, Europe has long forgotten about tank armadas and all their crafts are primarily intended for export to oil Honduras and only a small percentage for its troops, the United States is sawing the modernization of the m1 abrams (with which, according to rumors, the same situation as the Tu-22 and that -22m, because they don't give money for a new tank, but modernization is welcome), they are sawing reinforcement bars in Russia.

                Everyone has their own truth - one that is beneficial to him.
                In January 1957, the first prototype of a tank diesel 5TD was prepared for bench tests. At the end of the bench tests 5TD in the same year was transferred to object (running) tests in an experimental tank "object 430", and by May 1958 passed interdepartmental State tests with a good rating.
                Nevertheless, it was decided not to transfer the diesel 5TD to mass production. The reason once again was the change in military requirements for new tanks, once again necessitating a rise in power. Taking into account the very high technical and economic performance of the 5TD engine and the reserves built into it (as demonstrated by the tests), the new powerplant with an output of about 700 hp. decided to create based on it.
                The introduction of an additional cylinder seriously changed the dynamics of the engine. There was an imbalance that caused intense torsional vibrations in the system. The leading scientific forces of Leningrad (VNII-100), Moscow (NIID) and Kharkov (KPI) are connected to its solution. 5TDF was brought up to standard EXPERIMENTAL by trial and error.
                Retaining the transverse arrangement of the motor with a two-sided power take-off and two planetary onboard transmissions located on both sides of the engine, the designers shifted the vacant sides of the engine, parallel to the gearboxes, compressor and gas turbine, previously installed in 4ТD on top of the engine block. The new layout allowed halving the amount of logistic equipment in comparison with the T-54 tank, and traditional components such as the central gearbox, gearbox, main friction clutch, onboard planetary steering mechanisms, onboard gears and brakes were excluded from it. As noted later in the report of the GBTU, the transmission of a new type saved 750 kg of mass and consisted of 150 machined parts instead of the previous 500.

      There is no point, because the price of the upgraded T-72 to the T-90A level will be equal to the cost of the T-90A. It’s better to rivet T-90A, and send T-72 to storage warehouses. Moreover, the T-90 at the design level was modernized, and not on the alteration of iron, i.e. tuning.

    The most radical thing that appeared on the tank is the installation of one of the world's best multi-channel sight "Sosna-U", with a thermal imager. As a result, the gunner-operator is now able to hit targets, including guided missiles, at any time of the day, regardless of dust, smoke and other adverse conditions. The sight has an automatic target tracking, which greatly facilitates the shooter's work.

    Apparently, the range of the sight at night is 5 km. Interestingly, there is something similar on the Abrams.

        Does the tower act as a kick panel?

          Only ammunition not placed in the carousel detonates, and the fault is not in the tank, but in the charges themselves. they burn out and do not have a sleeve protecting them from detonation; in Grozny, tanks withstood an average of 14 RPG hits and "survived", although they changed several crews.

            Yes, the separate-shell loading pretty spoiled the combat survivability of the tank. In general, except for the Eastern tanks and Challenger 2 (which, incidentally, is the apotheosis of shitty without analogues - what is only one rifled gun worth), nobody uses them, which in general is very sad, looking at modern unitary NATO long crowbars.

                BOPS same. The rifled gun is not very friendly with him, unlike OFS. Yes, and it’s not enough, it impels the British to fasten some ATGM to the upgrade - oh, they are being tuned with these rifling, oh, are tuned.

                  They would have taught the materiel, maybe they would not have told such tales.
                  for example, why would Pturs go on cutting? how could Jews make ATGM Lahat under a 105 mm rifled gun

                  The ammunition types which are currently or formerly in use include:

                  APFSDS L23. This has a monobloc tungsten nickel copper long rod penetrator, and used the L8 combustible case charge, although it can use a modified L14 charge. The muzzle velocity is 1,534 meter per second (5,030 ft / s). It was used in the Gulf War, but is now probably withdrawn.
                  APFSDS L26 (alias CHARM 1). This has a depleted uranium (DU) long rod penetrator and uses the L14A1 or L14A2 combustible case charges.
                  APFSDS L27A1 (alias CHARM 3). This also has a DU projectile, but with a greater length-to-diameter ratio and is thus "significantly more effective". The round uses the L16A1 combustible case charge.

                  Do you know how to decrypt APFSDS?

                    You climbed into the jungle. It's much easier. The Nona's rifled gun fires 120mm mines with absolutely no problems.
                    And ATGM can be launched not only from rifled and smooth trunks, but also without a barrel at all.

    Although I served the lion's share of the time on the T-72B and I am a fan of this machine, I think that removing the T-80BV from the troops is not an entirely competent decision. Upgrade electronics and sights, strengthen armor protection - yes, but do not remove. Only with the full development of the possibility of overhaul.
    It’s just possible to write off older equipment, rather than the unique T-80.

    As for me, the modernization of T.-72: to put a good thermal imager with the possibility of multi-channel sight at the gunner and a stabilized panoramic view from the commander. Plus coded radio communication and circular reinforcement of armor protection. That's what we dreamed about, and everything else is just gadgets, albeit important, but not basic. Maybe he said rudely, but it was offhand which was immediately remembered.

    The T-80BV has not exhausted the reserve of modernization, if we change it, then on the T-90MS and not on the upgraded T-72Б.

        Factories have business, they have money on their minds.
        And what is necessary for tankers on "hardware" I wrote above. Colleagues will add.

        T-90ms is very good, only a little expensive of course.
        But it’s too early to remove the T-80 from the troops, only to modernize.

          If the first 90s were the level of 80s, then if you modernize the filling and protection of the same T-80U, then even Tagil, literally and figuratively, will again be below the line. And the eternal Russian question will arise.

      Absolutely accurate definition! good
      Such modernization (the main thermal imager, aiming and surveillance devices, communications and remote sensing) as a temporary measure to maintain the benefits tank units and the loading of production capacities (there’s no part request ) will come down before the commissioning of a new tank of the 21st century.

      Not exhausted, but nevertheless there are a number of problems with the T-80BV, one of which is the loading mechanism, or rather the impossibility of its modernization for new, long shells.

        Yes, AZ is easier to operate than MOH. There are fewer failures in the AZ, there is no need to mess with hydraulics, there is less risk of jamming the conveyor with PCT sleeves and getting into the mechanic's gearbox in the T-72. As well as the charges around the gunner with the commander do not show off.
        But nevertheless, the T-80BV is quite a serious and knowledge-intensive machine, so that the crew on the T-80 should be trained more seriously to write it off at the moment.

        And the length of the shells can not be changed either in the AZ or in the MOH in existing transporters without reducing the cells of the shots.

          In addition to dancing with the Ministry of Health, there is another problem - it is called the GTD-1000TF. Its production was stopped in the union, the mobile reserves were exhausted, most of the repair kits remained for the more modern T-80U.

    A tank that has projectile catchers in the frontal part of the tower on either side of the barrel cannot be considered modern.
    And he "flies" or jumps - it doesn't matter.
    The tank must be protected first of all.
    So, we expect the T-90 MS in the troops (as a temporary measure), until a full-fledged modern tank appears.

      I do not agree.
      In the folds of the terrain, it is difficult to get into something that "jumps and flies".
      In the exercises on such machines (with a competent crew), it’s even possible to aim at, not to get into ...
      And the Chinese type 99 with all its armor was crawling like an excellent target. Neither dynamics, nor maneuver, nor speed, reaching the target head-on, etc. ... Maybe not the first time, but at these speeds he will be hit. And even hitting a simple blank in a case will cost him a lot ...

    I already wrote on warfailes that you can put any stuffing on a tank, let's put on the T-80 "Relic", "Sosna-U", brand new electronics (walkie-talkies, a computer with BIUS ballistic digital computer) and the T-72, and the T-90 deflated, and if there are still normal steel side screens with the Relic, finally smoke Tagil aside.
