Sergey Maev: “Armat” will need to pull up to the level of T-95

A month later, at the arms exhibition in Nizhny Tagil, the country's top leadership will be shown the heavy caterpillar unified platform “Armata”. This will be the crown of many years of work to create a promising Russian tank. A special role in creating the tank of the future was played by Colonel-General Sergei Maev, Chairman of the Central Council of ROSTO (DOSAAF). From 1996 to 2003, he served as the head of the Main Armored Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and led the development of the T-95 tank (OKR "Perfection-88"). The chief editor of Rosinformburo Vyacheslav Prunov managed to talk with the patriarch of Russian tank building.

Illustrations, as well as signatures to them, are presented by A. Khlopotov.

-Sergey Alexandrovich, in your opinion, will the “Armata”, which will be presented at a closed show in Nizhny Tagil, be a revolution in tank design? Or will we again "beat the tails" and catch up with the West?

-I ended my service at the Automobile Armored Office in 2003. By this time the type of Russian armored vehicles was created. At the exit was a T-95 tank on the theme “Improving -88”. At the exit was a group of light armored tracked vehicles of the BMP type of various modifications. At the exit was a group of armored personnel carriers: the BTR "Rostok" and the upgraded BTR-70 and BTR-60. And, it would seem, everything went to the finish line. We showed the public new tanks "Black Eagle" and "Golden Eagle".

-"Golden eagle"?

-Yes, "Berkut", at the Omsk plant. These were the prototypes that I started to create a competitive spirit, on the one hand, and, on the other hand, to divert attention from the main work “Improvement -88”, which was conducted on “Uralvagonzavod”.

And at the Kharkov Tank Plant they developed new Boxer and Hammer machines. There was a rendered high-caliber gun 152 mm, chassis as on the T-64, boxer engine with a capacity of one and a half thousand horsepower. True, the crew was placed in the usual way. But in the Kharkov machine there were former disadvantages of the T-64. Very complex loading mechanism, tight layout.

The disadvantage of our tanks was that shells were placed in the center of the machine, in the automatic loader. It turned out the least protected place: 60 mm side armor and the center of the target. After all, the enemy always marks the center of the car. This was clearly manifested in Chechnya, when our RPG-7, at close range, beat the center and detonation of ammunition, complete destruction of the tank and the death of the crew. It just blows it to pieces.

Tank "Object-195" on the test site

Therefore, it was decided to enter a completely new type of design, which was implemented on the "Improvement-88". The prospective T-95 tank had portable armament and a separate crew capsule located in front of the hull. All processes, including the control of the course and the organization of the shooting, were automated.

The radar detected enemy targets at a distance of 10 km. The range of the missile, as a means of high-precision destruction, more than 5 km. Shooting a gun at a distance of 3 thousand meters using "technical vision".

The machine was a very powerful structure. And most importantly, she had a very high stock of engine power. In spite of the fact that the weight was within 52-58 tons, on the move, during 10 seconds, it reached a speed of up to 70 km / h. So was competently designed suspension and chassis.

- There were seven rollers?

- Seven rollers. The course was smooth and the suspension ratio is very high. The suspension was so soft that from the shot it went like on water. We had to make changes to the design of the shock absorbers to remove these vibrations. Very comfortable position was the driver's mechanic - the floor is recumbent. Management push-button, easier than the American "Abrams". I myself, personally, drove T-95 for three hours through a snowy forest, trying to plant, get a push in the ass, and I did not succeed.

Our cars have always had problems with ergonomics and comfort. And in the T-95- there was a very high level of comfort. The crew was placed linearly. Shoulder to shoulder. On the left is the driver mechanic. In the middle is the commander, and to the right is the gunner of the gun. The commander and driver mechanic could replace each other.

-And not close to them? Enough space?

- Enough, how! Machine width - 2 centimeters 30. They sat on the couch. And between the elbows there was still a distance of 20 centimeters. Ergonomic chairs, well, management does not require any physical strength. All on joysticks. I did not see such comfort as in this car, not in one car of the world. I drove the Abrams and the driving feeling of the T-95 was more comfortable than from the Abrams and Leopard.

In this case, the fire power of this machine was very high. I will not talk about the rocket, it was unique. A piercing projectile punched (...) cm of homogeneous armor.

Of course, the car is expensive. Only highly qualified specialists could work on it. It was assumed that this should be contract. Although, could teach and the draft. There was a very high quality on-board machine, which completely determined the state of all components and assemblies using 60 parameters. And immediately issued a warning. Any malfunction, and on the screen of the mechanic - the driver pops up a note saying that this and that should be done.

- Was the whole crew in a capsule? Probably, behind such armor, the tankers felt invulnerable?

-They were in a capsule that was mounted in an armored case. The capsule separated the crew from the compartment where the ammunition was. And it gave a special sense of security. The French conducted special studies and found that the effectiveness of the crew in heavy vehicles is three times higher than in light armored vehicles. Because in a heavy car the crew feels invulnerable.

“But it’s not enough to save the crew, you still need to protect the ammunition.

-Ammunition security was also very high. Moreover, there extinguishing panels were provided. If something was happening - the kick panel was knocked out, but since there were no people there, it could be afforded, and it saved the car. She could be restored.

But with such a "ship" caliber there should have been a small ammunition?

The ammunition on the T-95 was 40 ammunition, just like on conventional machines.

-And the engine? In such a large tank and the engine must be very powerful.

-H-shaped engine. Of course, there it was possible to provide for the placement of both the gas turbine and boxer engines. But we decided to refine our X-shaped diesel. Power and a half thousand horsepower. There was a problem with the fuel supply, problems in relation to heat load. But these issues were resolved by our Chelyabinsk plant. The 15 engines were released, and the operating time was within 1000 hours.

Many have noted the unusual appearance of the T-95. Unlike other Russian tanks, it was very tall.

-Our military can not get rid of the idea that the machine should be squat. But that was when there were no guided projectiles. And now. If a guided projectile flies on a mass of metal or on heat, it will find an equal target, even if it lies on the ground.

-It is believed that at that level of electronics, the problem of “technical vision” could not be completely resolved.

- Of course, there would be some problems when operating the machine. Take the T-80. Now T-80 is an absolutely reliable machine. And at first, everyone was from her, as she was unreliable. And on the T-95 there could be such problems. But I am clearly confident that, thanks to the rapid development of technology, these shortcomings would be eliminated.

- The main thing is that a completely new version of the design was found. You said that T-64 was different from T-62, just like T-55 was different from T-34, and T-34 was different from BT-7. And the T-95, it was a new high-quality technical race.

“And how did the Ministry of Defense handle this revolutionary tank?”

-It was planned, in 2005, to complete state tests and put it into a series. In the first year they had to make 100 machines, then 300 machines. This is ahead of the development of the world tank building years on 15. Two years ago, at an exhibition in Paris, I saw the layout of the Leopard, in which German designers tried to somehow replicate the T-95 to accommodate the crew, ammunition and the gun and the elements of technical vision. But it was just a layout.

-And we already had a new generation car in metal.

-And we have two samples of T-95 already departed 15 thousand. Km. And the gun has already made 287 shots. The tank was ready. It was necessary to create a third option, conduct a full-scale revision, based on the first and second samples, and on the third option, conduct state tests, make some changes and launch the series. And we would have the best tank in the world.

- But what happened? Why abandoned the finished T-95 and opened a new work on "Armata"?

- What happened is difficult to explain. I was at one of the meetings of the military-industrial commission, when the customers spoke, and Nikolay Yershov was the head of the Main Automobile and Armored Directorate, I told them that in order to finish this car, one more tank had to be made, to spend about 500 mln. rubles,

Well, this is not fantastic money.

- Yes, they stayed, this money. The creation of T-95 was not allocated a lot, total 2.2 billion rubles. And when I left, we had 700 million left. 400 million to make a third car and 300- for state tests.

But, I was objected that the machine is structurally too complicated and it will not be mastered and will be very expensive. And I said: “Yes, it is expensive and complicated, but now you will not spend 700 millions of rubles, but much more, simplify the specifications and make the car. Which class will be lower. " So I said: "You will make a bastard."

What is now being done with “Armata” - I do not know. But I think chief designer Andrei Terlikov will try to drag all the best from the T-95 into Armat.

-Walked that for display in Nizhny Tagil, they would take apart the T-90 MS "Tagil" and put a new combat module on its six-base base.

Yes, there should be no problems with the case. After all, the experience gained enormous. I came to the head of the cupola in 1996 year. This car was in draft design stage. I declared myself the leader of this project. He began to personally hold the advice of chief designers. There was little money. The stomach was empty, and the head worked well. But when there was more money, the head began to work worse.

“And now, on an empty stomach, the Ural designers made the T-95 and made a revolution in tank building, and the heavy universal tracked platform“ Armata ”will be such a breakthrough?

-I do not know this. I cannot blame Armata, but I will not exaggerate the importance of this development.

Likely view of a promising T-14 tank based on the Armata TGUP

-It is known that on the "Armata" will not be installed 152 mm, and 125 mm gun. Why do you think the designers went for the deliberate reduction of firepower?

- The reason is the difficulty of manufacturing large-caliber tank guns. The first 152 mm cannon exploded on the 86 shot. We could not understand the reasons for a long time. It turns out that internally the pressure increased to 7 500 atmospheres, while other tanks had 3000. The aggressiveness of the powder and the initial speed are very high. And we began to change the thickness of the walls of the trunk, that would change the amplitude of oscillations of metal. And came out on 280 shots. And the projectile of this caliber is a very complex product. And so, apparently decided to take the old proven design.

Former GABTU chief Alexander Galkin warned: “If you give up on the 152 mm gun, the whole idea will fail!”. After all, the Americans, in stock is 140 mm tank gun. They will simply modernize and install a new weapon on the Abrams. The 125 mm gun makes this machine (“Armata”) uncompetitive on the battlefield under any circumstances. And the 152 mm gun must be on a new car necessarily!

- Does the designers take a step back when creating “Armatu”?

-Creating T-95, we went to a new class of car. Unfortunately, it is lost. The paradox is that “Armata” will need to be dragged by characteristics to the level of “Improvement-88”. But the enemy is not in place.

-Do you think “Armat” will be worse than T-95?

-Well, of course, it will be worse than "Perfection-88". I think so. But the new just does not come. It was necessary to squeeze all the will into a fist and bring the T-95 to mind. In the 2005 year, we could actually begin to release a new tank. It is now -2013 year. Eight years have passed!

“And yet, why didn't the T-95 be adopted?” Why put an end to the already finished best tank in the world? Why undertook a new, dubious development work? Could it be money? After all, KB lives by development?

- Forgive me, Lord! It seems to me that there are only personal motives. I wanted Ershov to become an outstanding tanker. I warned him: "You will be kicked out in a year!" And so it happened.

The situation is similar to what is happening in the aircraft industry! There is a wonderful Tu-334, there is very little left until the release .... but Mr. Poghosyan considered the Tu-334 to be a direct competitor to his brainchild SSJ and that’s all, the project is closed! Personal ambitions and shortsightedness ruined such a wonderful project. So here (((

[experienced]

From 1996 to 2003, he served as the head of the Main Armored Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and led the development of the T-95 tank (OKR "Perfection-88"). The chief editor of Rosinformburo Vyacheslav Prunov managed to talk with the patriarch of Russian tank building.

You don't have to read further, to lead the development does not mean to design and create, otherwise we have Indians with their "leadership" (no asbestos, little or little bricks) are also "patriarchs" of aircraft construction. Chel is sincerely convinced that everything that was created under his leadership is an "ideal", and that what was created after he was "retired" sucks and turd.

It seems to me that there are only personal motives. I wanted to become outstanding Ershov tankman. I warned him: "You will be expelled in a year!" And so it happened.

Poor Michael Wittmann in a coffin spins thinks that he is in competition for Ershov
And this pearl simply delights with its logic

What is being done with Armata now - I don’t know. But I think the chief designer Andrei Terlikov will try to drag the best with the T-95 into “Armata».

Like "Armata" will come out badly, I warned, but if it is worthy, then it was stolen from us, what we thought of earlier

[Kars]

More like fairy tales on the T-95. Like the photos are very unintelligible. In the bash under the rag, they’ve wiped the 152 mm gun.
The suspension is so cool - but they didn’t say which - torsion bars, hydropneumatics?

[uwzek]

The photo is really unintelligible. But, given the significantly large dimensions of the "ninety-fifth" case, it is difficult to judge the caliber

[postman]

"dance" from the diameter of the road roller.
Using a ruler, TFT monitor (or printed page) and 2 arithmetic operations = get "caliber"

[mark1]

"Armata" from the very beginning was announced as "a simplified and adapted to the realities of Russian-made T-95 tank", it seems that everything will be as good as on the T-95, only simpler and cheaper. Well, they still "improve" and "simplify" ... (most likely they are molding something new, but it does not mean that the best)

[Genry]

The idea of ​​Armata does not contradict the concept of T-95, these are different entities.
They just want to make, first of all, a set of parts (constructor) from which any base can be made, for a tank (wheeled, floating, medium, heavy), BMPT, self-propelled guns, ZSU, BMP, etc. Only the hulls and weapons modules will be specific, and the assembly is all the same. This simplifies the possibilities of production (!!!), operation, repair, logistics of spare parts and consumables, a single basic maintenance (!!!).

Well, here you grabbed a little, there will be no wheeled, floating or medium platform, "Armata" is a universal heavy platform, and medium and light ones are "Kurganets-25" and "Boomerang", respectively. The T-95 could also be taken as a basis for the development of the platform (but "expensive" and "low-tech")

[vjhbc]

so it will turn out F-35 only in the tank and our people will admire that such a station wagon turned out and it will be very funny when the same specialist writes the F-35 station wagon badly, but the station wagon is good

to distract attention from the main work “Improvement -88”, which was conducted at Uralvagonzavod.
maybe 95 is an eye tap

[sub307]

I agree with you. These "fairy tales", well, straight "deja vu", on the eve of the "presentation" of something more or less new, they climb out as if by "magic": they say just now, under my careful guidance, it was - "ogogo" just, well, damn it, they wanted the best , it turned out .... Straight some kind of curse, with the evil eye. Okay, already "the atmosphere is heated and vibrate", waited almost. So "we'll have a look."

[novobranets]

Wittman, let him spin, he is due for his sins. And the tank is a pity. How to undermine defense for personal reasons. Actually, it was a new concept. I wonder if it is possible to resume work?

[uwzek]

Don't feel sorry for the semi-mythical T-95 tank. "Armata" - it is, only on a more modern basis and as a basis for various modifications. It is as easy as shelling pears to install a more powerful weapon on this machine ...
Another thing is that statements about the lower cost and greater manufacturability of the new machine compared to the "object 195" are highly controversial. Cars will be more expensive than currently available.
"Armata" is not a constructor in the sense that some suggest. None of the tank will be able to make SPGs, armored personnel carriers, etc. in artisanal conditions. These machines have different housings and layouts. Unification for spare parts - yes ...
Ten years ago, the main tank was offered in the "full kaput" style, now a family of combat vehicles in the same style. In terms of TTD, this is a breakthrough. Who is supposed to present this family (in different stages of readiness). Will the armats accept the question not for the producers ...

[Deniska]

1. Each sandpiper praises its swamp. :)
2. Neither of us knows anything about the T-95 or Armata.
3. If the T-95 has a remote uninhabited tower ?! what prevented it from being replaced, for example, by an air defense tower.
4. In my opinion, ARMATA is part of the next "cut", but we'll wait and see or maybe we'll wait for something "super duper" again;)

[Joker]

And I remember when the Americans said that Armata would be simplified T-95, everyone rushed to throw their caps on them, apparently, they turned out to be right, I hope only in this.

[Ka-52]

The article is too subjective. I have no trust in her. Mlyn found someone to ask about Armata. Journalists, such journalists!

[uwzek]

Americans are wrong. They just don’t have money for such cars, but I don’t know if we have ...

[Civil]

It's good that the t-95 was not shown in public, right now there would be so much scream!

[novobranets]

They dug up a cellar too large.

And all this because on the "vertical of power" instead of a head sits a woman ... na, whose interests diverge from those of the state.

[alone]

"Armata" will need to be pulled up to the level of T-95

if the armature must be brought to the level of t-95, then why then abandoned the t-95? another cut

[novobranets]

Who knows. Nothing is known about the armature, about the T-95, practically the same.

[uwzek]

And they say that they don’t know how to keep secrets

[uwzek]

Nobody sawed the T-95 - the initiative development of UVZ with money from the delivery of the first batch of T-90s to India in rather "dashing" years, when practically the entire defense industry disappeared. At the time of the adoption of the question of the fate of this tank, half of the manufacturers of components for it practically did not exist. It is quite possible that this was the main reason for the non-admission of the vehicle to the combat allowance.
Things are a little different nowadays. And a lot of different boxes for the tank are made, and the reliability of their work has increased. Therefore, events have entered a new round of the spiral. There is no need for the new machines to reach any level of the T-95. If these machines are adopted by our army (the "armata" will not go abroad for sure) - the event will be akin to the appearance of the "Dreadnought", but this pleasure will be expensive.

let's not breed a panic and wait for the appearance of Armata. And then the comparisons in each 3 article of an already abandoned project with a tank that has not yet been released begin to get out.

[Aleks tv]

The T-95 is a prototype tank of a new type, just as it was once the T-64.

There is an opinion why he was not allowed into the series:
For its serial production, it was necessary to replace the fig cloud of the machine park in a huge number of plants and prepare skilled workers to work on them.
Those. it was a kind of "Global Rearmament Program", primarily of factories.

If this is so, then it was NECESSARY to do it first of all, but it’s not a pity to spend money on the stabilization fund.

Whether it is true or not, I don’t know for sure, but by reason, it’s close to the truth.

The termination of work on the T-95 caused annoyance.
How it turned out - only rumors, there are almost no facts.
Everything is interesting on itStarting from the layout, ending with the radar station.

I hope that Armata will incorporate the maximum idea of ​​the T-95.
I hope that the "single platform" principle will not harm the tank itself, and they will finally make a normal unified BMP-T.
It remains only to wait for the release of a new car and to monitor the current modernization of the existing fleet, as many novies do not rivet right away.

With the fact that the product 195 could serve / served, I think no one will argue, it is obvious that creating a new product from scratch in the declared time is more than unlikely.
But to call the pearl of Soviet tank construction, a prototype, this is more than not correct.
Sorry, prototypes in the amount of several thousand are not produced and are not accepted for service as main ones.

Hello to all those present, They began to discuss again what they even didn’t see in the picture, It’s funny to read the comments on the article, Yes, what’s being created is of interest, At one time, one lady posted a photo of the Black Eagle and the T-95 didn’t just lay out the comments those who did this, Now we must forget about such things, Yes, these systems were created on the verge of the possibilities that there were then too many new products and new systems laid down in these models, But the trouble was that it was all created at the limit of dashing 2000 Until 2008, there was a struggle for R&D costs optimization, many enterprises survived due to foreign orders, There were almost no domestic ones, Yes they are very beautiful and not what is laid out here, But remember those temporary people who thought about new products, I remember how brave generals at any briefings noisily expressed dissatisfaction with the fact that the new requires a complete restructuring of production that they really forgotten the very high cost, Yes they were too late they were brought up to the conditions that were set by the projects, With a large-caliber tank gun it was not so easy to go back to the working tool, the Generals screamed that the junk was slipping back, And Nizhny Tagil was quietly releasing their T-90A tank, And the customer was, And those who suffered with these samples fell into the abyss of hopelessness, the enterprises themselves went bankrupt, All work was stopped, It’s not just a statement of reality, and yet another point here no one voices Can the country pull these projects, the military-industrial complex began to fall apart, and what remains is to focus on what is being released, I remember those old photos and I don’t think that what was found on those and it will be lost in the new platform, It can’t be that it didn’t succeed for a very long time, but then they managed to find solutions that will disappear, No need to ride in front of the horse,

[Aleks tv]

Hello Igor.
You know, your comment is very well written.
Only for some reason, later in the comments you also began to discuss and say what is right and what is not ... How to understand this?
I read and look at almost all the topics of the forum, you’re an expert everywhere - SV, Navy, Air Force.

In no case do not say that you are a know-it-all, believe me, no.
But you have a slight irony in many comments on all topics in which you are absolutely sure ...
Maybe modesty is still not a vice?
And so - respect for your opinion, unlike many.

[Russ69]

To be honest, I will not say which is better or worse. But the article reminds one of the proverb: "every sandpiper praises his own swamp."
Like, I'm the smartest in tank building, and all the fools ...

I have not read the book - but I condemn! I didn’t see Armata - but I’m discussing it!
But otherwise, a very interesting article!

[Shadowcat]

Each frog praises its swamp.
It is not sad to realize this fact, but the formula for the ideal weapon has long been deduced - it should be cheap, simple and affordable. Unlike the Yankees, who can buy expensive Mku, F-22 and F-35 gold for their soldiers, we don’t have a machine and we have to use cheaper weapons, but do it in such a way as not to be inferior to them.
The designer himself notes that the T-95 is very good, but very expensive and not easy to maintain, and is available only to high-class specialists. Why did you prefer the t-72, which was better than his brother t-64? the answer is simple - simplicity of design and reliability in the Russian mentality (forgot to clean, fig oil, bad solarium, etc.).
I have no doubt that the ideas that were used in the T-95 will be used in Armata.

It means, but not what you mean in the commentary. There is more the influence of preparation for the global thermonuclear war, for which weapons were accumulated, and were chosen under the draft army, with low training, and lack of time for retraining on more complex machines.

Well, as I understand it in the topic you are floating, it’s not to Ukraine, but it’s pouring.
Three mega bucks is the approximate cost of the T-90A, but it is not so important if you decide to think, and suddenly remember that the USSR did not use megabytes for internal calculations.
And according to the results, it will be possible to say that the T-64 is about 1,1 - 1,2 T-72, of course, given that it was better to train personnel for operating the T-64. And T-64, which also did not fit into the concept of the T-80 as a mobilization tank of nuclear war.

[uwzek]

The bulk of the T-72 tanks in armament is identical to the T-64 equipment. Only the first cars and tanks that went abroad were simpler. In servicing the engine, the Ukrainian car is probably easier. But the reliability and lower cost of production - this is the advantage of the Ural tank. Hence the difference in output volumes.

[svp67]

Quote: uwzek

The bulk of the T-72 tanks in armament is identical to the T-64 equipment.

All T72s are equal in armament to the main mass of the T64, having a 125mm tank gun as the main armament, for part of the T64 -115mm, a 7,62mm PKT machine gun paired with it, and for some tanks as an additional weapon, a 12,7mm NSV machine gun, for T64 - NSVT ... But in terms of equipment, the overwhelming mass of T72, yes, count all inferior to T64, since the latter in modification "B" had a ZPU and a sight 1g42 PDPS, which was not installed on the T72, as well as a "bunch" of small components and assemblies ...

[vladsolo56]

Take a look at history and take an interest in the fact that before being knocked down, a German tiger destroyed not one or two Soviet T-34s, but there are at least 4 people in each crew. Why did you decide that the loss of even several tanks with crews is economically justified. And why did you decide that there are fewer good tanks to build. Well, let’s give out to our soldiers shotguns instead of modern automatic rifles, it’s much more economical, and we will transfer the pilots to corn farmers, why do we need a T-50. It doesn’t fit into my head why tanks should be flawed just because someone decided to save. A modern tank should be designed and manufactured so that it would be relevant for 10-20 years, or even 30. And if it is already outdated, then why spend money on it at all

Oh, how many babulos were threatened by the country for "personal motives" in the past (for example, the confrontation between Korolyev and Yangel cost the country gigantic funds), unique samples (for example, T-4 "weaving") were also destroyed without any motives. And now I see nothing has changed.

[shasherin_pavel]

I also thought that the T-4 "weaving" was ruined by other people's intrigues, but once I read, as one tester casually mentioned, "Do you remember a hundred? I flew badly, albeit quickly, but when you land all the devils and gods, you will remember and curse." So much for the well-known intrigue between Tupolev and Myasishchev, and the unknown facts of the tests of the "hundred". If the testers were sweating during landing, what would be in the troops? RS-72 could only be lifted by test pilots, then the MiG-25 built to intercept it is considered a military aircraft. So who is better in the event of war, the RS-72 or the MiG-25, which could intercept the Blackbirds and perform their functions (scout) at the same altitudes and at the same speeds?

[mark1]

Sergey Aleksandrovich Mayev is a very competent and worthy man who has put a lot of effort into the development of the Soviet and Russian armored forces and deserves respect, and the technology of the T-95 was nowhere more modern, on the verge of industrial capabilities.

Can your post be regarded as the post of a person directly related to tank building?

[bootlegger]

Worse or better, the characteristic is ambiguous. And should be considered in conjunction with the estimated volume of production.
We need a lot of good tanks, not just one great one.
Already solved these issues.
During the period from August 1942 to August 1944, the Germans produced 1350 Tiger-I type vehicles, and T34 of various modifications 84 units.

[Massik]

I read it, there is nothing particularly surprising, everything is done with such bungling, but it looks very much like a fairy tale, even if you attach a clear photo, it is quite possible to assume that this is a layout; Now, if there was a video where such a miracle tank rolls and shoots, I might have believed. If this is true, then all these samples are classified from the very beginning and what is being done with them now we do not know how, especially since no one would give such explanations, in any "conversations".

[Indifferent]

Still, the leading criterion of any weaponry, including tanks, is the price-quality ratio. It is already technically feasible to make a tank without a crew, which is quite capable of "breaking wood" on the battlefield. But how much will it cost? What industry can handle the mass production of such tanks and what budget will it sustain? Recent wars, even with weak countries, have shown that high-precision weapons ammunition ends in a couple of months. And then they switch to the "bonby" of the times of Tsar Pea. The same will happen in a big war with the massive use of technology. Everything accumulated will be destroyed in the first days of the war, and then they will begin to switch to ordinary cheap guns, old tanks without electronics and shells of the "second imperialist war". Therefore, I understand the desire of our leadership to make tanks cheap. So that they can fight in modern conditions, but also not be too expensive. That is why the T-95 did not find its place in our army.

[yanus]

Damn, again the offended designer praises his unaccepted weapon. The situation is generally understandable and excusable, but one moment is very distressing.
An attempt to "push through" the 152mm cannon is upsetting, because the enemies on the tank have a ready-made 140mm. It is upsetting, first of all, that it clearly follows from this commentary that the designer still perceives the tank as a weapon against another tank.
In technical terms, this designer is perhaps a genius. But how can one trust the development of technology to a person who does not see its place on the battlefield? And I strongly suspect that the designers of Almaty are not far gone.
Still, it is necessary to "pour" young people into the designer who are ready to keep their hand "on the pulse". The same applies to military customers.

No, of course!
German generals also claimed that tanks did not fight tanks, but, damn it, the realities were somewhat different.
Russia, by and large, has so far 2 real probable opponents in the person of NATO and China.
In both cases, the tanks will inevitably have to meet their brothers on the battlefield.
But, if, like the current States, to fight against Burkina Faso, then yes, tanks do not fight tanks.
As for the "infusion" of youth, it is welcomed with two hands!
True, there is one small nuance: in order for something to come out of a young designer, he first needs to eat at least half a pound of salt ...

If only the patriarch had been sent to retire, so he was offended. Improving and modernizing 72 endlessly will not work, any of those products have a limit for this. The T-72 has practically exhausted it. "Armata", albeit raw, will give new scope for work on improvement and improvement for the next 30 years. And the brave old veterans of 80-90 models will still fight a lot.

[Albert1988]

After reading the article, several questions arise - first why exactly "T-95" and not "Object 195"? As far as the amateur knows to me, similar names T- "number" are assigned to machines that have already been put into service, and until that moment they are all "objects". The second question - I do not in any way question the competence of the author, but the statement that amers can put 140 mm on Abrasha also seems strange - not so long ago there was an article on the site about tank guns of a larger caliber, which said that in the west it was abandoned the increase in caliber in favor of improving the projectile and developing standard caliber guns, but with better ballistic characteristics. And then, the amers, and almost everyone else, have a loader in the tank, which does not feel very good even with modern 120mm shells, but what will happen with 140mm?
And in general, it seems that the interviewed general is simply strenuously praising the project that he led: my father himself works at a defense plant and he told me more than once that any experimental sample always has a ton of shortcomings that only seem to be easily eliminated, but how will it start "File processing" is a necessary amount and will swell at times.

Quote: Kars

The Negro loader can and will pull, only this is how the tank itself pulls: I saw a photo of the Abrams with this gun - the tower is clearly enlarged, which means the weight is greater, the load on the suspension, on the drive of the tower itself is greater. These are just variants of possible problems. So it seems to me that "Armata" will rather stimulate amers to accelerate their next generation tank project than radically modernize the current ones.
PS And then, who said that it will not be possible to install a module with a 152mm fool on the armature, we, in the end, do not fully know its capabilities)))

Suppose that on abrams, leopard and leclerc can be installed without problems 140mm. But still the question remains: why can't the same 152mm be installed on the armature? I think the fact that they put 125 on it does not mean that it will not pull a larger caliber, it is quite possible that everything depends on the difficulties of mass production of new 152mm guns and ammunition for them.

And if it is not a tower body, but a "false" against cumul. charges

Well, I basically paid attention to the back ...
And what are the cumulative ...
1.the rear of the tower, the increase is due to an increase in the "volume of ammunition"
3,14 x (140mm in square-120mm in square / 4 (this is the diameter)
length difference in weight (140mm heavier) x additionally required MV volume
NPzK-140 The gun should have a muzzle energy of 20 MJ (MJ), which would mean a doubling of muzzle energy compared to L / 44. The system should be equipped with an automatic loader, which makes it easy to integrate the system into the existing main battle tank (approx. Ran into problems, it didn’t fit, it required the development of a new tower)

2. in the side boxes they were supposed to place
Firefly Chaff Launcher (2): Located on the sides of the turret, they are designed to "confuse" attacking missiles.

Weapon Systems:

Main Gun: The Leopard III enjoys a +3 to strike for the main gun using the laser targeting sights and radar, and because of its gyrostabilization the gun can be fired without penalties "on the move". The cannon can angle from -5 degrees to +15 degrees up, and the turret can rotate through 360 degrees.
140 mm Smooth Bore Cannon: Mounted in the tank's turret and fully automated, this was a rather old (and refined) weapon capable of knocking out any tank then in service. It fires a variety of ammunition with combustible cases, meaning there is no need to eject spent casings.
Maximum Effective Range: Direct fire range is 8202 feet (2,500 meters) for HEAT or Plasma, but 14763.7 feet (4,500 meters) for APFSDS. Indirect fire for all rounds is 36089.2 feet (6.8 miles / 11,000 meters). Indirect fire for all rounds is 11,000 meters.
Mega-Damage: (HEAT): 3D4x10, blast radius of 10 ft. (APFSDS): 2D6x10 + 20 (optional rule is that cannon gets a critical on a natural 18, 19, or 20 due to its high penetration). (PLASMA): 3D6x10, blast radius of 30 ft. Fragmentation: 6D6, blast radius of 40 feet.
Rate of Fire: Three times per melee.
Payload: 42 gun rounds. Normally 12 HEAT, 22 APFSDS, and 8 Plasma, but this can be varied according to need. An additional round can be stored, ready to fire, in the main gun. If they are available, this is usually a plasma round so that the tank can deal with a surprise attack of any type. Also note that plasma only became available just before the Rifts, and before that the tank carried Fragmentation rounds.
Of these rounds 30 are stored horizontally stacked in the large turret bustle and on the left side of the gun, and are ready to feed into the autoloader. In essence, the bustle is part of the autoloader assembly. The last 12 shells are stored in the tanks main body, and must be manually loaded into the autoloader by the commander or gunner, at a rate of two shells per rounds.
Bonuses: +2 to strike at all times with cannon shells from the laser sight and fire control computer, including when on the move. For indirect long-range fire has a +1 to strike, but only when standing still.
Tri-barrel Pulse Laser cannon: This weapon is sometimes substituted for the 140 mm smoothbore. Essentially it is the same weapon and powerpack as fitted into later versions of the Panther MBT. The fusion powerpack is located entirely inside of the turret, taking up the space of the old ammunition storage. The laser has less range and power than the smoothbore, but is not dependentant on ammunition. It is also markedly shorter than the smoothbore, making for easyer turret traverse.
Note that this weapon was never fitted in pre-Rifts times, and is only available as a conversion option in the NGR.
Maximum Effective Range: 10,000 feet (3000 meters)
Mega-Damage: 1D4x10 per barrel, usually fires bursts of 3 pulses for 3D4x10.
Rate of Fire: Three bursts per melee.
Payload: Unlimited
Bonuses: +2 to strike at all times with cannon shells and tri-barrel laser from the laser sight and fire control computer, including when on the move. For indirect long-range fire has a +1 to strike, but only when standing still.

and the 140 mm Bagira gun is not your development?
Or you have a joint venture with Switzerland.
Have I missed something already in the summer?

"We don't want our guns to be guided doubtful countries", - said earlier in Kiev in this regard, the head of the Swiss diplomatic department, Joseph Deiss. Brigitta Pfuty is a representative of the Swiss company" Swiss Ordinance Enterprise ", being a business partner of Kiev in the production of tanks, made it clear that this restriction directly concerns Turkey. "
In my opinion, the Swiss Ordnance Enterprise Corporation (Allmendstrasse 86, CH-3602 Thun, Switzerland) installed Leo87 licensed NPz K-2 on its only one (which was converted into 140 battalions). No?

Quote from text:

Colonel General Sergei Maev, chairman of the Central Council of ROSTO (DOSAAF), played a special role in creating the tank of the future. From 1996 to 2003, he served as the head of the Main Armored Directorate of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation and led the development of the T-95 tank (OKR Improvement-88).

The article did not find a place for a photo, fill the gap.

P / S:I would like to believe that most of what is stated in the article is still artful "misinformation" ...

[Anatole Klim]

The more I read about "Armata", the more I am afraid of being disappointed, I support our army and I want to be proud of it.

[WIN969]

In the photo is not Armata.

[aleshka]

and this is not a photo !!!

[Vlad_Mir]

I can’t believe that Armata is worse than T-95! At a minimum, electronics on a more advanced kit, active and dynamic protection will obviously be more modern, a new engine ... There is experience of real military operations. I do not believe it unambiguously!

[Tan4ik]

[Vitaly Anisimov]

The article left an ambiguous impression, frankly strange, sort of with its internal contradictions.
But essentially a panegyric to the glory of UVZ and another blasphemy against the T-80 and the Black Eagle. After all, one of the participants in the destruction of the ZTM software.
By the way, not a sound about the T-90 super tank.
Yes, to all Uriah-Armatovtsy, pay attention to the terms for the development and launch of the new machine indicated by the authors of the article. Absolutely nothing in common with those that are named for Almaty (as for a new machine naturally), leads to certain thoughts.

As long as we don’t see Armata and its characteristics, we don’t know anything, and in fact we also didn’t see the T-95 and there is nothing to compare with Armata. A new tank will love an order of magnitude ahead of the competition !!!!

[voliador]

I will not be surprised that the product documentation for 195 has long been replicated.
And yet, copy, doom yourself to eternal lag.

[alexpro66]

Mayev is quite an intelligent tanker, but no more! Unfortunately, it was because of him that at one time 195 did not go beyond the prototype - he is very stubborn and maximalist - and he had to go not to a break, but to bend and dodge in court games! (Although most likely that would not help) unfortunately it does not know how! In addition, there were weighty arguments against it, and 195 - such as the price due to the widespread use of titanium alloys (in the article, by the way, by a very docked "censorship", there is no mention of the use of titanium, but data on the weight of "52-58 tons" are mentioned and if take the average, it will turn out to be 55 tons, which in principle confirms (for non-believers of the KARS type) that these weight indicators were achieved only thanks to titanium (given that 195 and longer and higher armata and the weapon is not 125 but 152, etc.) The second Mayev is disingenuous when he says that 195 was ready for production (it was ready ... but the industry was not) 2005, yes, the body of the chassis motor group and the gun would be mastered quickly and then the forest ... Mayev, due to the fact that optoelectronic aiming was never brought to mind, insisted on launching into the 195 series with a truncated electronic version, - insisting on the immediate launch of 195 into the series - as it is - with subsequent modernization - he planned to make direct optical channels over the armored capsule with the main sighting system (two huge sights the gunner and commander, by the way, only because of this, the gun had to be put so high) and over time, as new related industries were launched, bring 195 to mind. Well, a huge set of non-technical problems - undercover games !! Everyone wants money and awards, but tank one! Here came out people like Popovkin and Makarov, who offered (by the way, not their idea) a single heavy platform! The first six-speed simplified "armata" is their idea - there are as many of these pictures as you want on the forums. Only with a more detailed approach to Armata it turned out that it needs ALL THE SAME (new production and technologies) WHAT IS FOR 195 !!
By the way, the article was not castrated in everything and it could not be otherwise, for the Armata is a deeply modernized 195 with a truncation in the caliber and additional weapons. MAYEV REFERRED TO HOW HE PERSONALLY RUNNED 195-which once again confirms that the motor transmission group was already worked out at that time (on joysticks !!) and there were no longer any problems with overheating of the x sampler - for the sake of a monoblock and modularity, the motor was installed longitudinally on the arm hulls and transmissions, which slightly lengthened the MTO, but made it possible to introduce additional fuel tanks into the MTO and create an excellent cooling system (so let some "experts" not write nonsense about overheating and the unavailability of x-shaped arms for Armata !!!) writes about his ignorance about ARMATA - IT IS POSSIBLY TRUE - he was invited at the initial stage as a consultant, but even then he continued to insist on the launch of 195-can and for this he was excommunicated from information on Armata ... just like Khlopotov by the way!
As for the 152mm, I think it will be on Armata .. over time ... maybe it’s already electrothermochemical)))
Yes, even about what the Baumans proposed .. in short, a tank robot without a crew !!! I think that future tankers should now seriously take the game WOT !!)))))

[Kars]

Quote: alexpro66

"52-58 tons" and if you take the average, you get 55 tons, which in principle confirms (for non-believers like KARS) that these weight indicators have been achieved only

All that can confirm that there was no finished specimen, and it didn’t weigh. I don’t know about titanium. I’m not special in metal science, and I’ve not heard about armor alloys based on it.

Quote: alexpro66

Armata is a deeply modernized 195

Quote: alexpro66

the motor-transmission group was already worked out at that time (on joysticks !!)

- if everything has already been worked out on the prototype, what is it that took so long to develop a simplified version of the platform? technical reasons or palace intrigues again?

[igor.borov775]

Finally, there is another very attentive person taking off my hat, Here one passage that you did not mention T-90A was already massively going to India, the production was somehow established somehow, And this sample meant a complete reconstruction or construction of new industries, Our star generals made noise about it it’s a big expense to never happen to it, Time was such a waste of money we won’t let it get out, Now a new stage of development is beginning, And everything that they’ve managed to create can be changed and brought to mind can be changed, After all, how much can Fishing is from this beginning of a new car is to be found in it,

And why he with all this economy "did not take off" is a rhetorical question. It is strange that anti-aircraft missiles, an electronic warfare complex and a field kitchen were not attached to it.

[Alekseev]

In S. Mayev’s interview there is no necessary specifics, but we can conclude that the hull, main components and assemblies, fire control system, and weapons have been created.
But the devil is in the details!
What is the price-quality ratio, how reliable and technologically advanced are the components and assemblies (after all, you can get along with some advanced unit, like the USSR did in its time with a two-stroke 5tdf, mainly because of it they were “born” t-80, and t-72, but the armored personnel carriers on the t-64 turned out to be good).
One can only guess what the industry's capabilities are to launch mass production.
True, it is neither possible nor advisable to evaluate these parameters in the open press.
But, if the designers did not initially provide for the replacement of the 125 mm gun (combat module) with a 152 mm one, then the modernization potential is seriously undermined...
But wait and see!

and T-34 of various modifications - 84 units.

You are reading Wikipedia incorrectly (the data was taken from there) the total number of T-34 tanks WITH MODIFICATIONS (including the T-34-85) were produced from 1940 to 1958, the number produced 1940-1944 is 35 (table below) .

Someone in the government decided that the T-95 would be very good for the modern colonial era and dangerous for the West. Almaty is quite enough to extinguish riots and drive out Wahhabis

Hello friends! I believe that versatility is a good thing, both for armored vehicles and aviation. The Americans will finish their F35, don’t worry, because they invested a lot of money, and they used a lot of modern solutions. After all, modern technology is very complex, producing high-tech tanks, infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers on different platforms is expensive both in terms of production and in terms of training specialists (crews, technicians, etc.)... My opinion is that universality is the future. Although, with our resources, if they were not managed by traitors and thieves, we might not strive for universality... there would be enough money for everything)
