T-84 vs. T-90C: the standoff in Asia

114
Like all states with a well-developed military industry, Ukraine, entering the global arms trade market, has repeatedly participated in international arms exhibitions, presenting its T-84 tank, and has achieved certain successes in this. She managed to conclude a contract with the government of Pakistan, which has already acquired part of the agreed party. tanks T-84 for its armed forces.

The domestic and foreign press has long been discussing the comparative assessment of the Ukrainian T-84 tank and the Russian T-90 tank, but the prospect of a possible confrontation between the Russian and Ukrainian tank building is not on a testing ground, but in real combat situations makes us think about a lot.

Paradoxically, but story human development confirms the fact that the most significant success is achieved in the development and implementation of military technology.

In order to clearly imagine the outcome of a possible fire collision of T-90C and T-84 tanks, it is necessary to refer to the history of their creation and analyze their design and manufacturing technology.

Both tanks have their pedigrees, the roots of which are descended during the Soviet era, when the efforts of several giants of the domestic tank building, including the Kharkov A. Morozov Design Bureau (KKBM) and Uralvagonzavod Design Bureau (Nizhny Tagil), were designed to develop an improved version of the tank. T-64A - the first post-war serial tank of the third generation. The T-64A tank (the developer of the same KMDB) was equipped with the most powerful 125-mm smooth-bore tank gun at that time, had a loading mechanism that replaced one crew member, had a remarkable protection provided by a welded hull made of combined materials and a cast tower of the same materials . The appearance of this tank triggered foreign tank manufacturers to create their own tanks capable of withstanding the T-64A. However, possessing certain advantages, the T-64 family tanks also had a number of disadvantages, the main ones of which were the low reliability of the undercarriage and the complexity of operating the power plant, where the two-stroke 5TDF diesel engine with 700 hp power was used. The result of the long and multi-stage work of the Soviet tank industry for the deep modernization of the T-64 tank was the appearance, in addition to the T-64 tank family, of two more families (T-72 and T-80), various structurally, but similar in concept and tactical and technical characteristics . And by the time the independent sovereign states — Russia and Ukraine — emerged, the latest modifications of these family tanks — the modern Russian T-90 tanks (exported by T-90C) and the Ukrainian T-84 (T-XNUMHUD in post-Soviet version) .

T-84 vs. T-90C: the standoff in Asia
T-80 Tank


Some sources reported that the T-84 was installed on the TMS on the basis of the 1А45 OMS using day and night sights of French production (manufactured by Thompson). Yes, such studies were carried out, but attempts to reach an agreement with the suppliers of these components did not lead to success, so the JMA of the T-84 tank supplied under the contract to Pakistan remained almost unchanged. In addition, the shutter declared by the developers of the optical-electronic suppression system is installed on single samples of T-84 tanks and is not included in the package on the Pakistani contract, as well as the 6TD-2 engine 1200 HP, which the Pakistani side refused to use several reasons. Instead, the tanks are equipped with 6TD engines with HP 1000 power.

Like any other, the T-84 tank has its advantages and disadvantages. Possessing the same characteristics of firepower and security as the T-90C. the car turned out highly dynamic, easy to drive. It has a high average speed in a variety of driving conditions.

In order to exclude a possible subjectivity in the estimates. consider the design features of the tank T-84. First of all, with the installation of an opposed two-stroke engine 84TD (6TD-6) on the T-2 tank, the same drawbacks of the T-64А and T-XNUMHUD tanks affecting its operational capabilities remained.

General view of the T-90C.

The aforementioned boxer 6TD and 6TD-2 engines, which undoubtedly have high structural performance (for example, overall power), as noted during the tests, have unsatisfactory starting characteristics due to the characteristics of the operating cycle. For reliable engine start, high-speed starting equipment is necessary. The main type of 6TD engine start is not airborne, as in the B-84 engines of T-90 tanks, but electrical starting, more energy-intensive and less reliable in operation.

When operating in conditions of high ambient temperatures on the T-84, serious restrictions have been imposed on the temperature conditions of the engine, which makes it much more difficult to use this machine in summer conditions. The fanless cooling system used on the tank has limited capabilities to ensure reliable operation during further engine boosting and does not provide the normal temperature of the engine (even 1000-strong) when the ambient temperature is above 30 — 35'С at all speed and load modes of the engine. Perhaps this was the reason for installing an unforced 84TD engine on the T-6 tanks under the Pakistani contract.

It should be borne in mind that a two-stroke diesel engine has significantly greater (compared to a four-stroke) power loss when operating in a tank in the so-called object conditions (due to its particular sensitivity to the resistance created at the inlet and outlet systems of air cleaning and exhaust gases). These losses increase even more in high-altitude conditions due to rarefied air.

Not fully resolved for the T-84 tank is the problem of cleaning the air supplying the engine. On Kharkov machines equipped with two-stroke diesel engines, tapeless inertial air cleaners of the cyclone type are traditionally used to ensure the lowest possible resistance in the intake tract. But the effectiveness of such air cleaners is quite small. Prolonged operation of the T-64 and T-80UD tanks revealed frequent failure of the tank engines due to dust wear of parts of the cylinder-piston group. To eliminate this drawback, a preliminary air purification system and dust wear sensors were installed on the tanks, but this did not give much effect. In this regard, designers will have to continue to search for new design solutions to ensure reliable operation of the air cleaning system for this type of engine, including by installing additional cassettes, which in the conditions of super-dense layout of the engine compartment seems extremely difficult power loss.

The T-90C tank is more adapted to the conditions of high temperatures, high dustiness and high mountains, which is caused by the installation of the well-proven B-84 engine on it. It is convincing that according to the results of the road tests of T-90 tanks in one of the regions of Central Asia, when daily 350 — 450 km were conducted and average speeds of movement at ambient temperature above 40 ° С and high dustiness of desert forest roads were 35 — 42 km / h As mentioned above, this year, tests were carried out at Indian test sites, within the framework of the same export order for this country, several T-90 equipped with a B-92 engine, whose power was increased to 1000 hp. (on the experimental stand, the engine developed all 1200 hp and without any problems). This eliminated the main argument cited by Ukrainian opponents, namely lower power compared to the T-84 (although tank crews say that the 840 hp is enough for the eyes).

As follows from the data presented in the table, the 6TD and B-92 engines have virtually identical engine conditions. However, the Russian engine has an adaptability factor on 10%. Due to this, all other things being equal, the T-90 tank has better acceleration characteristics and higher average speeds on smooth dirt and sandy roads.

The fuel consumption of both engines at maximum power mode is almost equal, however, a comparative analysis of fuel consumption at the most probable operation and combat use of tanks in engine load modes (0,6-0,8 from full power) showed that for T-84 on 10 — 15% fuel consumption is higher than that of the T-90. Practically in the same range, the T-90 tank has an advantage in terms of reserve compared to the T-84 tank. Higher fuel consumption of the 6TD engine is associated, as mentioned above, with the features of the working process of a two-stroke diesel engine, and it is unlikely that there will be a significant reduction in engine tuning.

Sufficiently convincing arguments against the T-84 tank are the results of the tender tests conducted in Greece in 1998 for the tanks of the leading tank-producing countries - the USA, Great Britain, France, Germany, Russia and Ukraine. According to the results of one of the tests conducted in the highlands, the Greek side noted a number of deficiencies in the T-84 tank, one of which is the “unsatisfactory environmental performance” of the 6TD-2 engine. When making a march, the Greek crew of the Challenger-84 tank in the convoy behind the t-2 tank was poisoned by exhaust gases in front of the vehicle in progress and refused to continue further movement, but they were persuaded to wear respirators to continue the march. No less depressing, which is also associated with the design features of the power plant, was the refusal of the Ukrainian delegation to participate in the test for dismantling and installing the engine by the crew for a while. The crew of the T-84 really understood that with respect to the M1 Abrams, Leopard-2А5 and our T-80, where the temporary indicators were: 40 / 45 min., 35 / 45 min. And 1ch.40 / 1ch./20 min. accordingly, it simply did not make sense for them to stand as candidates, since their average numbers ranged from 12 to 15 hours. By the way, in India, where the T-90 had to dismantle the B-92 engine, the crew’s temporary indicator was just over two hours. Since the combat weight of the T-84 in relation to the basic version of the T-80UD increased significantly and amounted to about 49,5 tons, and the engine power remained the same, this could not but affect the tractive characteristics of the tank. So, for example, the Ukrainian crew could not climb with a stop on the slope in 32 degrees. By the way, the Challenger-2E and Leopard-2A5, which had a combat weight of 60 tons with hooks (only from the second attempts, with new tracks and on clean asphalt).

Summarizing all of these drawbacks characteristic of the T-84 tank power plant, one can say that in general it is a wonderful car, a wonderful fruit of engineering, but the fruit is quite “exotic” for hot and dusty operating conditions.

As for the T-90С tank, on the purchase of which by India, negotiations with the Russian side are already coming to an end, it can be said without a doubt that in terms of its combat characteristics (firepower and security) it is identical to the T-84 tank, with the only difference that the complex "Curtain" is an indispensable element in the acquisition of all T-90 tanks. Moreover, according to the developer of the T-90С tank, certain measures were taken to modernize the T-90С tanks, related to the possibility of integrating into the tank's MSA, at the request of customers, various components (mainly sighting and observation instruments, communications equipment) as developed by the national industry and foreign production. Now it is possible to install a new welded tower with a higher percentage of protection and allowing to use more advanced BPS in the T-90, with an extended core of enhanced armor penetration. The same can be said about other systems of the T-90C, but the developer does not intend to prematurely disclose all the prospects for the modernization of his brainchild.

Thus, answering the question asked about the results of a possible battle of two unjustly separated brothers, as is the case in Indian films, it remains to wish only one thing - that such a possibility does not arise. T-84 and T-90С are practically twins, analogues in their firepower and security, although, as is the case in life, the older the twins are, the clearer their differences in individual development are. In the real confrontation of military formations armed with T-84 and T-90С tanks, the success of one side or another will depend only on the strategy and tactics of using these tanks, the professional training of their crews.

    By and large, the global confrontation between the T-90 and T-84 is a history of deliveries to Pakistan and India. And there is no confrontation as such - if you supply weapons to Pakistan, then you will not supply them to India. From a cynical point of view, it would be quite possible to agree on the division of spheres of influence and quietly drive Russian guns and komplektuh to the Ukrainian T-84 for Pakistan or other countries to which Russia cannot supply weapons (or does not want). Because if you don’t agree, then the Chinese will come there (as is the case with Pakistan).

        The engine certainly matters but not as important as indicated in the article. The main thing is the system of target detection and firing. And how the tank will return to the base, but even in tow, the main thing is to shoot first and not by. Whoever saw the first and the first hit the target is in the dams, and the opponent will only have to smoke the sky.

In the disputes about the T-84 and T-90, a lot of srach were divorced (on the same "courage" or at Khlopotov).

    Wow, that will begin right now ....)))) But for the sake of justice (IMHO) the t-84 is described incorrectly, much is not indicated, but about the engine I generally read the exact opposite. The problems were at the very beginning of operation, and this was mainly due to ignorance of new technology. And a feature of the engines of the TD family is just that they are better adapted to the hot climate (the possibility of short-term operation at t-120 degrees), and I agree that in essence this is a variation on the theme of one tank ...

    The result of the test drive made me laugh. According to the results of one of the tests conducted in high altitude conditions, the Greek side noted a number of shortcomings in the T-84 tank, one of which is the “unsatisfactory environmental performance” of the 6TD-2 engine. During the march, the Greek crew of the Challenger-84 tank following the convoy of the T-2 tank received exhaust gas poisoning in front of the vehicle in front and refused to continue further movement, And what will happen to such a "unpretentious" crew from Greece if tomorrow is a war? Or as in a joke, they will shoot from the finger, then yes, in this case there is no dust, smoke, and dirt. God forbid to have such tankers. They would keep their distance, and there would be no such problem. Apparently they sat on the tail 84-ke, like on the F-1 laughing

    In fact, this is one and the same tank, based on the revolutionary T-64 developed for its time by the Kharkovites. The Kharkov citizen's engine is noticeably more powerful, and what is not clear with reliability, the engine was a weak point on the T-64. Without comparative sea trials, it is very difficult to say which tank is better, or it may turn out that the one that is cheaper will become the best tank. Weapons in general can not be compared.

It will be known that only Ukraine has 84 T-7 "Oplot" (not to be confused with BM Oplot). T-80UD were delivered to Pakistan. They are still in the nomenclature on the manufacturer's website.

      To be honest, the article smells like the end of the nineties. Some comrades say that the T-80UD and the T-84 are one machine, hinting that our hands are crooked and we cannot do anything, but we are remaking the same thing. Only BM "Oplot" is a real machine in metal, but "Armata" so far, plus the T-90MS, does not reach the BM, and the T-80UD and T-90S are identical machines (in purpose and capabilities), on the T -80UD are the first samples of the engine, it is clear that it went into the series not finished, we are not the USA where they will immediately give a bunch of ball for development, they sold them to packs and earned money for fine-tuning, all by ourselves, there is no one to help

          The capriciousness of Western engines is caused by the production technology, or rather the precision of machine tool processing, our machines are in most 60-70 years, and there all machines are 2-3 years old, they have 2-3 orders of magnitude higher quality of processing accuracy, for example, take a CPG (cylinder-piston group) so we have a "stone with a fist" is not a hindrance, since it slips in the gaps, and in the western ones a grain of sand bears irreparable damage, for example, and in everything, to execute AK on a modern machine, it will become as capricious as, for example, G-36

    The author completely turned upside down the features of the 6TD-2 engines in Pakistan. The only thing that the engine says correctly is a high-speed start. Everything else - the level of power loss from increasing temperature, altitude and object conditions is distorted. Especially in comparison with the engines V-84, V-92. Probably the author considers the Pakistanis to be idiots, because they put the MTO with the 6TD-2 engine on a tank of their own production. Despite the fact that in the choice of engine they were not very limited.

      Pan mga04, the author did not turn anything upside down when comparing tank engines upside down. As I understand it, you did not test the motors yourself in the “Pakistani conditions”. It is a fact that to start the 6TD-2 even in the summer it was necessary to start the heater if the air temperature was below 20 degrees, usually in the morning. You bring the coolant temperature to 60 degrees and you can start it. If you use oil injection, in the box there is such smoke after starting - white light is not visible. In addition, the engine pulls oil fog through the VO, which leads to its oiling, deterioration of air purification and, as a result, to dust wear. The fact that the 6TD-2 engine life is lower than that of the B-92C2. Although technologically and in terms of design thought, the 6TD-2 is a cut above. The six already worked in an intense mode, the loss of even 5 liters of coolant was monitored and signaled to the driver. A low coolant level definitely caused engine damage. You can’t fill the cooling system with water, only through a special sulfofilter from spare parts. He has a small resource, periodically it was necessary to regenerate by pouring salt water. If topped up with non-softened water, scale at a wild speed covers the internal cavity of the cooling jacket, which quickly leads to local overheating and to an engine accident. This trouble has been known since the exploitation of the five - in 6TD-2, with its increased critical conditions, it became even more relevant. In summer, the bypass duct was generally plugged, for the motor was constantly overheating on loose and slush - on clay soils and it was not in the desert !!!
      Six - “oiling”, oil waste is greater than on the B-92, and with an average consumption of motor resources, on the machines of the study group, with a daily mileage of about 100 km, after driving lessons we had to add 20 liters of oil.
      In the mountains, "Birch" did not happen to exploit, and drove 64 matches at a mountain range in Orekhovtsy. I will say responsibly, 1000TDF ate 5 liters of diesel fuel per 120 km. At the mountain tankodrome, the obstacle — the maximum ascent — had to be circled — 64 just skidded there, although on 62 it happened to climb steeper slopes. I confirm the lower dynamic characteristics of a two-stroke diesel engine against the “classics” when driving on hilly terrain by personal experience, at some elevations, in contrast to 72-ka, 64-ka was raised only with switching to lower gears. Fire hazard MTO Kharkov production - "The Parable of the Town." The joint of the gas turbine with the exhaust pipe is “dressed” in quilted “pants” made of heat-resistant fabric. The task of this device is to be a thermal barrier to prevent burnout of rubber goods. However, an almost insurmountable oil leak through the gas joint leads to the "pants" getting wet and their subsequent ignition, as a result: burnout of the oil pipe of the right BKP; oil leakage on the bottom; tank stop; fire in the MTO; PPO operation; "Sheer"; "Debriefing"; ogromvody ... I instead of trousers put a home-made screen of tin - I have never failed!
      Replacing the engine on the Birch - from after breakfast until dinner with lunch in the dining room with smoke breaks and without stress, replacing the engine on 72 - from dawn to dusk with meals in the field where “special song” is centering the engine with a guitar in the absence of necessary shims. Note: it is possible, of course, in both cases and faster, but in line with the educational process is not recommended ...
      Conclusion: two-stroke diesel engines of Kharkov production are certainly a design and technological masterpiece. The fact that there is a demand for them outside of Ukraine is another confirmation of this. However, IMHO, two-stroke diesel engines are a “dead end” of tank engine building because of their: high cost (own and operational), “capriciousness” and, say, not outstanding performance indicators.

                        It is worth noting the obvious difference in the product, but the trend in build quality, in the ergonomics of the workplace of the tank driver, the approach to the quality of the final product and the convenience of its maintenance.

    Hmm ... for me both tanks are so good and their ancestor T-72 went through the most cruel and merciless among modern tanks "school of life". He (T-72) showed himself to be a reliable, simple and unpretentious tank, which is what a soldier needs. Therefore, the T-84 and T-90 tanks are just as good and reliable, I would say equal. There is no point in arguing here and splashing saliva, it is important to say GLORY to the weapons of the Slavic people soldier Do not argue, friends do not.

        Why did you, my friend, get this? Even Tarasenko has not thought of this yet:
        In accordance with the initial idea, the serial production of the T-64 was to be carried out in Nizhny Tagil, Leningrad and in Omsk. However, powerful regional party clans spared no efforts to disrupt the production of the Kharkov machine and develop its own tank instead to increase its influence on the military-industrial complex.
        In Nizhny Tagil, parallel development of its promising tank was carried out, so the decision to produce the T-64 there was sabotaged. Instead of producing the T-64 variant with the B-45 engine, the “Object 172M” developed there went into serial production, which, despite the external similarity, had little in common with the T-64 and was absolutely not unified with it.

          The development of the T-72 began in 1967. In the course of further work, in 1968-69, comparative tests of T-64A tanks with a B-45 engine and an ejection cooling system (developed by the Kharkov Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering) and samples with a B-45 engine, a 22-shot automatic gun loading gun and fan cooling system (development of a design bureau in Nizhny Tagil). The latter showed better results. In November 1969, B-46 engines with a capacity of 573 kW (780 hp) and a chassis of a new design began to be installed on these machines. The sample manufactured with the indicated changes was assigned the index “Object 172M”

                      That's right, only the hull was changed in the part of the MTO, the tower was left, unlike UVZ, which made its own tower to distinguish itself (under the slogan "to reduce the cost of production"), significantly inferior in characteristics to the T-64 tower. Then she had to be brought to mind.
                      And in the T-80, the chassis was not immediately replaced - at first they tried on the T-64 chassis, but quickly realized that it was not suitable for such loads with a gas turbine engine. The transmission changes by default along with the engine - you can try to put the transmission from the T-80 on the T-72, then tell us about your impressions.

    You would better compare the training of crews, the logistics of troops, and not measure millimeters of armor and horsepower of engines. A well-trained and well-coordinated crew on the old T-62 can do with dozens of your clever T-90s, which are managed by conscripts or contract soldiers with a 9-year education.
    And without an established maintenance system, even an advantage in the speed of removing the engine will not help, what's the difference that you remove the engine in 40 minutes. if spare parts will be brought up only in two days?
    From my own experience I can say that even the most indestructible equipment, most of our valiant military men easily turn into a pile of scrap metal that can only be written off.
    So, to indicate that the T-80 is weaker than the T-90 only on the basis of some millimeters, horsepower, I think is not correct. In history, you can find a lot of examples when a well-trained crew on a knowingly weak tank comes out victorious from the battle for the shield of their training.

      Well, are you kidding? Yes, at least someone planted in the T-62 - he can not beat a dozen T-90. Even if 90-year-old NUBAs will sit in the T-12. If the guys who are in the T-90, even in theory, know how to press the buttons correctly, then this is a definite death for the T-62. Time does not stand still roial. The combat potential of the T-90 surpasses the T-62 (basic) once in 10, if not more. Cases when a tank which in TTX is much inferior to the opponent came out the winner in a duel can be counted on the fingers. This is mathematics alas.

              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).
              Vladimir, nevertheless, there we digged heavily before we received 5tdf.
              Sincerely.

                    And what does it not correspond to? The T-90ms has an engine of 1130 horses. And develops them at 2000 rpm. Engines 5-6tdf give their power at 3000 rpm, which is not a plus for a tank engine and retain this power, like all highly accelerated engines in a very narrow speed range. A little momentum dipped and that’s all, there is no power. The multi-liter B-92 has no such problems.
                    By the way, in terms of power by weight, they are quite comparable (I will not look for numbers - they flashed here more than once)

          I'm not interested in arguing who is longer and thicker. Thailand buys armored personnel carriers, tanks, KrAZ trucks - pleased with their quality. Technically, the BTR-3E1 differs from the BTR-4 only in the shape of the hull and is accordingly similar to the BTR-80/82 in it. In fact, its components are practically not interchangeable with the Russian machine (except in arms).

    Some patriots of their own countries already spray foam.
    It seems that only yesterday from Pakistan (India, Syria), or at least from the landfill. Jumped off, so to speak, from dusty armor. But in fact, the tank was only seen in the news on TV (or on the VO site smile)
    Modern weapons, including tanks, are not purchased purely according to the criterion of worse or better. In contracts, the political component is of great importance. Only a complete outraged patriot can, for example, seriously think that Iraq bought armored personnel carriers and something else in Ukraine because all this is highly advanced technology. Better, they say, another. No, the technique is so-so. But Iraq was told to buy. This is a bonus to those in power in Ukraine for "good" behavior. From whom? You know from whom. And so almost everywhere.
    As for the T-90 tanks and his Ukrainian counterpart. Then they are really approximately the same in terms of performance characteristics.
    Of course, push-pull diesels, all of these TDs are not the best option. But they sell it cheaply, with a margin, resource, profitability, ecology for the tank are not so important. Talented Kharkov engineers managed to ensure that 6TD can be satisfactorily exploited (and easily changed laughing ) For others, it’s fine, for Russia, thanks, no.
    True, the real workmanship is shrouded in darkness. Like the origin of the components. I won’t be surprised if there are a lot of components on tanks delivered to Pakistan, especially in armaments, from Russia (Indians don’t speak wink ) And do not console yourself with the illusion that the real state of affairs is being signed in the media.

          I already wrote more than once.
          The motor has all the disadvantages of a two-stroke diesel engine. I don’t remember exactly, but it seems that nobody else uses them on tanks. (Yes on cars too smile )
          Heats up, loses power in the heat, prone to dust wear, oil eats, less economical than the B-84. If, for example, the T-62, you can put on a slight slope, squeeze hl. friction clutch, let it roll a couple of meters, release clutch and the car starts up, then here are some instances in order to start it in the summer I had to warm it with a heater. It is not advisable to tow a tank with a tank for a long time; sometimes a connecting rod breaks. It is impossible to repair in the troops. This applies, in fact, to any tank diesel, but especially TD.
          Exhaust manifolds go near the bottom. If the PPO is not working (the cylinders are empty, but only the squibs are inserted into the pro forma) and the fuel and lubricant leaks into the MTO, it will burn up already.
          I used to pour several buckets of water instead of PPO on the bottom. It soars, but does not burn. smile
          Excessively forced. The B-92 has 40 liters, 6td-16 liters of working volume. And the speed is 3000. There you can kill an elephant with a piston with a steel plate (so as not to burn out)! laughing
          Of the good, it’s easier to change. Centering is not needed, in front of the ball joint, behind the yoke.

            For 6-TD at 55 Celsius, power loss is about 5%, for T-90 you know better. By the way, Malysheva plant concludes new contracts for the supply of its two-stroke engines every year: China, Pakistan - the most well-known contracts, T-72 for Ethiopia at the request of the customer were remotorized by 5tdfma (1050 hp).
            By the way, do not remind why the Indians call the T-90 a night butterfly? The correct answer: because during the day at a temperature of 45-50 degrees they stall and move on them only at night. You can read on the internet.

Such easy light trolling for yourself, they say your T-84 is not bad but our T-90 is better, but for some reason the author of the article did not write how your T-90 stalled in the desert during tests (the desert dust load engine could not stand it), when like T -84 calmly went all the way.

    For such scribbling the author has to "take away the boat, the oars, and the net." Mixed up compares the T-90 with the T-80UD and T-84U Oplot. If anyone is interested in comparison with specific facts and figures:

    I hope you know the history of the T-34 and who is M. Koshkin

    On the basis of government Decision No. 667 / SGKO dated September 12, 1941, the plant director Yu.E. Maksarev gave the order to curtail the plant and immediately evacuate it to the rear. The first train left the plant on September 19, 1941 and headed for the Uralvagonzavod in Nizhny Tagil, Sverdlovsk Region. He took away the designers of the tank design bureau, the technical drawing documentation of the tank and the most valuable equipment.

    The Kharkov plant evacuated to Nizhny Tagil and the local Uralvagonzavod were merged into one enterprise, which became known as the Ural Tank Plant No. 183. At this plant, the numbering of workshops and departments, adopted even before the war in Kharkov, was preserved. The Tank Design Bureau was still called the “520 Division.” The main designer, as in Kharkov, was A.A. Morozov.

    December 8, 1941 the Ural Tank Plant launched the first T-34 tank, and in April 1942, the plant exceeded the pre-war level of production of these military vehicles.

    wink But he who does not know, will think that the first T-34 from UVZ came out. And the text is from the official site of HCMB. In general, this cf-hch, the HCBM versus UVZ, was pretty tired of it, and the little article, so-so, amateurish, though copied from a serious magazine.

Each subsequent tank developed at the KHKBM after the T-80UD was an order of magnitude better in terms of maneuverability, protection and SLA. Firepower did not change due to the lack of new shells (except for Combat UR).

    Hello, to all Ukrainian friends from Russia! Thank you for not forgetting and upgrading the 64-ku. This legendary and beloved tank by me. For two years he served in the Desna in 84-86. My regiment was based on it ( one more on T-62, and one on T-10). Of course, my opinion is subjective, but I, as a driver-mechanic, fell in love with him. I drove about a thousand km on it (I was a "primer"), and the instructor's "fuel oil" the order is bigger. And in the service staff it is not difficult, all repairs are conscripts (a couple of warrant officers per regiment does not count). And the cadets were trained for a maximum of 3,4 months (although the most intelligent and talented commanders and gunners, but to us ...). in a word, not a tank, but a song ... I think the subsequent upgrades are no worse!

    the best tank is the one that is produced in a sufficiently large series and enters the masses in large numbers, all childhood illnesses and shortcomings will be immediately visible, soldiers and officers will master the equipment. Also, as a result of mass exploitation, weak strongholds will be visible and it will be clear where to go further + whether the army operating this tank will be able to create a competent and trained crew for it, etc. There is an advantage, in my opinion, for the T-90. Frankly, Ukrainian developments are impressive. The T-84 looks solid, as it is more brutal and more secure). Only its real characteristics, not declared ones, are incomprehensible. You can write anything you want, you need a series, a larger number, you need feedback from soldiers and officers who served on it. The T-84 does not have the norms of the series, which means there will be childhood diseases. If a tank goes into the troops in dozens of units, everything will be brought to the declared characteristics and parameters, then it may well turn out to be better than the T-90, only the creators of the T-90 do not stand still and this is normal, someone took one turn forward, someone else) Constructors Cup, but need a series)

    After reading the article and the comments on it, I was once again convinced of the validity of the statement: “the topic is sour, it amused the discussion!”
    Regarding the Pakistani contract: firstly, the supply by Russia in particular of guns would be regarded by India, Pakistan's geopolitical rival, as a betrayal, with all possible consequences; secondly, cooperation in the military-technical sphere with Ukraine, whose leaders at that time in memorable time “on every corner” declared the MAP in NATO, the leadership of the Russian Federation did not consider it possible. We should not forget that during this period a counter-terrorist operation was underway in Chechnya with tragic consequences, and at the same time, militants were treated in Ukrainian sanatoriums for money - of course, they gave them broadcast on TV as moral support, and the politically-conscious politicians, in every possible way, showed their solidarity with the “fraternal Chechen people”, they kicked Russia at all the gay-political political partners.
    So, pan Kars, Russia, in fact, could not disrupt the Pakistani contract, because for a number of reasons, including the above, it formally consisted of only fraternal, but not relevant contractual relations with Ukraine !!! As one movie hero said: “That's what guys. I won’t give you a machine gun! ”
    However, without going into details, Ukraine nevertheless fulfilled the contract with Pakistan, which confirms its high technological potential!

      Here I disagree, it’s interesting about the engine, but acquaintances who served in the Desna River didn’t speak so critically. But about the contract --- she, the Russian Federation - I could not disrupt, but tried.

    Pan mga04, the author did not turn anything upside down when comparing tank engines upside down. As I understand it, you did not test the motors yourself in the “Pakistani conditions”. It is a fact that to start the 6TD-2 even in the summer it was necessary to start the heater if the air temperature was below 20 degrees, usually in the morning. You bring the coolant temperature to 60 degrees and you can start it. If you use oil injection, in the box there is such smoke after starting - white light is not visible. In addition, the engine pulls oil fog through the VO, which leads to its oiling, deterioration of air purification and, as a result, to dust wear. The fact that the 6TD-2 engine life is lower than that of the B-92C2. Although technologically and in terms of design thought, the 6TD-2 is a cut above. The six already worked in an intense mode, the loss of even 5 liters of coolant was monitored and signaled to the driver. A low coolant level definitely caused engine damage. You can’t fill the cooling system with water, only through a special sulfofilter from spare parts. He has a small resource, periodically it was necessary to regenerate by pouring salt water. If topped up with non-softened water, scale at a wild speed covers the internal cavity of the cooling jacket, which quickly leads to local overheating and to an engine accident. This trouble has been known since the exploitation of the five - in 6TD-2, with its increased critical conditions, it became even more relevant. In summer, the bypass duct was generally plugged, for the motor was constantly overheating on loose and slush - on clay soils and it was not in the desert !!!
    Six - “oiling”, oil waste is greater than on the B-92, and with an average consumption of motor resources, on the machines of the study group, with a daily mileage of about 100 km, after driving lessons we had to add 20 liters of oil.
    In the mountains, "Birch" did not happen to exploit, and drove 64 matches at a mountain range in Orekhovtsy. I will say responsibly, 1000TDF ate 5 liters of diesel fuel per 120 km. At the mountain tankodrome, the obstacle — the maximum ascent — had to be circled — 64 just skidded there, although on 62 it happened to climb steeper slopes. I confirm the lower dynamic characteristics of a two-stroke diesel engine against the “classics” when driving on hilly terrain by personal experience, at some elevations, in contrast to 72-ka, 64-ka was raised only with switching to lower gears. Fire hazard MTO Kharkov production - "The Parable of the Town." The joint of the gas turbine with the exhaust pipe is “dressed” in quilted “pants” made of heat-resistant fabric. The task of this device is to be a thermal barrier to prevent burnout of rubber goods. However, an almost insurmountable oil leak through the gas joint leads to the "pants" getting wet and their subsequent ignition, as a result: burnout of the oil pipe of the right BKP; oil leakage on the bottom; tank stop; fire in the MTO; PPO operation; "Sheer"; "Debriefing"; ogromvody ... I instead of trousers put a home-made screen of tin - I have never failed!
    Replacing the engine on the Birch - from after breakfast until dinner with lunch in the dining room with smoke breaks and without stress, replacing the engine on 72 - from dawn to dusk with meals in the field where “special song” is centering the engine with a guitar in the absence of necessary shims. Note: it is possible, of course, in both cases and faster, but in line with the educational process is not recommended ...
    Conclusion: two-stroke diesel engines of Kharkov production are certainly a design and technological masterpiece. The fact that there is a demand for them outside of Ukraine is another confirmation of this. However, IMHO, two-stroke diesel engines are a “dead end” of tank engine building because of their: high cost (own and operational), “capriciousness” and, say, not outstanding performance indicators.

      I completely agree with my colleague!
      It may reach the patriots that the two-stroke Kharkov diesel engine is a mediocre tank engine for a number of objective reasons.
      And this is not the fault of Kharkov engineers.
      History stretches back to the time of the USSR.
      It just happened. request

    Choosing between a loading mechanism and an automatic loading device, I will definitely choose MZ. And here's why: 28 shots are undeniably better than 22; the loading speed of the gun with the MOH is higher than in the AZ - which means higher and practical rate of fire TP. There is really one constructive problem associated with the use of longer new generation BOPSs, but I am sure that Kharkiv citizens will cope with this task. Well, and not without bitterness: at the AZ, the pallet is automatically ejected from the tower, which improves its habitability; at MZ, the pallet is transferred to a free tray emitting caustic smoke, and sometimes burning with the remnants of a sleeve. When the burning pan goes down to other shots - Shock !!! I categorically forbade the use of the “Series” mode of the loading mechanism. For, if the conveyor is with combat payload, and on the bottom there are leaks of diesel fuel, oil, hydraulic fluids, you can “fly up”.

    Dear, Alexander D., I read your posts and understand how you "carries". Well, don’t have to “cock up” like that - a bad sign! Excuse me, which tanks did you personally exploit, which engines did you change? Particularly “smiled” about the night butterfly - T-90 - pearl of the highest category, E !!! I operated B-84 engines similar to those that were installed on the machines of the Indian contract. I will tell you a case: it was necessary to advance from the landfill to the railway station for loading. The loading time is set, the counter is on. In the courtyard, February, minus 17, and on one of the cars the boiler candle burns out. The column is already built, the engines are rumbling, there is no one car. The tank commander comes running, reports - the boiler is dead! We take a candle, fly to repair, the column went. We change the candle, start the boiler, - on the horizon there is a slight smoke of a departed column. The coolant temperature is 15 degrees, - crankshaft cranking with a starter, the pressure with MZN is above 3. We continue to heat! Coolant temperature - 20 degrees, cranking, - pressure is above 3, we warm further! Temperature 30 degrees, pressure with MZN - 2,5, scroll without fuel, launch combined. The temperature drops below 20, the fan switch is at low revs, the blinds are closed, I sit down on the levers, I start moving in first gear, warm up the engine and catch up with the column before turning to the station. I assure you, in such conditions, neither the fifth nor the sixth TD would simply wound up!
    And in hot weather, the engines of the 72s never ever overheated, unlike 64 rock. On one route in the summer in the heat drove 64-ku and 72-ku. At the first coolant - above 100 !!! And 72 matches a maximum of 90. Fact!

          On 64-ke running "dead" in its design features. If the caterpillar is weakened, there is a high probability of its dropping during turns. The most disgusting case when it is carried under a rotten winter’s bottom in a pit with liquid mud or carried out along with a fenestrated shelf. The caterpillar can fly off even with a partial collision with a stump or stone.

          I’m sure they’re wildly warming up, but they work, otherwise they wouldn’t buy

            I myself am not a tanker, but as I wrote, the guys from the gum told. Of all that you have told, there is only about the caterpillar rally.

            about the smoke from the pan, I asked, they say normal, they told how they turned on the supercharger to create excess pressure.

            and here many MOH consider it almost a tragedy.

        So in the war tanks and self-propelled guns were heated. They dug a ditch, installed a potbelly stove there, drove a tank or self-propelled gun on top, so that the stove was under the MTO and drowned with wood. The crew immediately rested in the rovik.

          Vereshagin, so I’d listen and listen to you! By chance I came back here and saw fresh comments. I would have liked more in the topics discussed, such as you and AlekseevIt is interesting to read what people who really worked with technology write. This is much more interesting than the article itself (and many similar to it). You (practitioners) should cooperate and file your article about service and operating experience. It would be a real exclusive! Think ... Sincerely.

      This is spoken by Ukrainian comrades, not Indians.
      In the article, Arjun is extolled and scolded by the T-90, and in fact they reduced the order for Arjun many times and are negotiating additional supplies of the T-90.
      The second one. The article extols Ukrainian tanks compared to the T-90. But in fact: in the period from 2001 to 2010 more than two thousand T-90s were sold, and how many tanks made at their enterprises were sold by Ukraine? 14 years ago, as three hundred tanks were delivered to Pakistan, this was the end of the demand for Ukrainian-made tanks. True, they write about the won tenders, about the contracts concluded .... and only an exhibition copy leaves the country.

      So what will we believe: facts or any scribble?

        I do not protect the T-80UD. If you want, consider the T-90 to be the top of perfection. But since you do not believe in this plan Ukrainian military analytical sites (just like I am Russian) read the Indians themselves.

          I do not consider him the height of perfection. But this tank is the evolutionary pinnacle of the T-72 line, a tank with very great military practice. Changes were constantly made to the tank: they changed the engine, changed the chassis, changed several towers, changed the gun, replaced the automatic loader, FCS, communications, etc. A tank in which changes are constantly being made to improve its performance cannot be bad. This is not a single product for you, in which something turned out successful, but something is not. And the facts speak for themselves: the T-90 is the best-selling tank of 2 thousandths.

          Colossal funds have been invested in the development of this Arjun, and talking after that that the tank did not work is fraught. They cannot but praise him. But the Indians do it wisely: they reduce the order for the production of Arjuns, and increase the purchase of T-90.
          No matter how much the T-90 is scolded, but, apparently, it is the best of all proposed.

            That's not why they cut and buy T-90s. It's just that the T-90 is the best tank in the region. It matches both Pakistani and Chinese new tanks. Better in some ways, worse in others, but on the whole they are equal. Sense of purchasing a more expensive tank with approximately the same characteristics? Although the Arjun tank brigade is in the desert, where the T-90 does not compete with the T-80UD and Al-Khalids. Therefore, the Mark2 and Mark3 are being developed as a cheaper, but advanced alternative.

    The merit of Ukrainian Tank Builders is that they make Tanks for sale a hundred, therefore they are looking for options and improvements in order to survive.
    The trouble, and the curse, of Russian tank builders is that they have a place to fuse their rarities. Its deep modernization T-90 was late by 20 years, when the improved T-72 smalets were also named 90th (the head designer of UVZ mentioned the inconsistency of time and efficiency), while successfully ditching 80 (which the Iranians wanted to buy, but did not buy nothing because they shoved the T-90 and they didn’t like them).
    Lobbyism and the lack of competition does not allow tank builders to develop in the Russian Federation (and not only them), and an amorphous preparation for exhibitions and an inhibitory approach to potential buyers ruins contracts and does not bring full benefits.
    PS "Cadres decide - Everything", but those who promoted "current cadres" obviously wanted to ruin everything.

    and it’s not surprising that this is a business! And there’s no talk of fraternity (what a fraternal price the Russian Federation extinguished for Ukraine) Ukraine is competing in the sale of weapons for the Russian Federation and here they will truthfully and falsely knock out a place under the sun.

    Why minus you? You are absolutely right, two states: these are two equal trading partners (we do not take into account political and other unions). And prices, as is customary, are determined by DEMAND and SUPPLY. Don't like the price? Walk around and search for cheaper. Well, if they sell the same product, then naturally they are competitors here. Yes, and no one can forbid "uncle the baker" to sell cheaper, (give) a cake to a girl.
