T-72B3 ... what is this beast? 2 part

339

We continue to clarify the upgrade of the T-72B3.
Start in the 1 part.

- Twin machine gun:
Coaxial machine gun unchanged - reliable FCT, PKTm. In any case, there is no data on tank versions of "Pecheneg" and "Pecheneg-2."



T-72B3 ... what is this beast? 2 part

Photo 41: PKT machine gun.

Interested in the question of how much attention was paid to the reliable isolation of spent cartridges. As practice has shown, the rupture of the bag and their scattering on the conveyor AZ can lead to non-sugar effects.

- LSD:
Fully fall into a stupor when you see an open manual control gear lock ...


42 Photo: Disassembled T-72B3 TSS.


One flaw quite naturally forms another.
Commander has NO instruments capable of controlling and aiming. Savings on the installation of a minimum (TKN-4-01) resulted in the rejection of the remote LSD.

How smart is it necessary to be a person ordering in 2011, after all local wars, a variant of such an installation ??? True, I said very gently? It was not easy for me.

Good and efficient weapon practically idle idle. It can not be used while under rifle fire.

Not only does the commander literally give up control of the tank, giving himself the gunner and mechanic, not only does he risk like a daredevil for sure, but he also plays a circus show titled: “And why haven't you riddled me yet? I have been hanging around on stage a lot of time, performing before you a stupid dance called "Preparation of the ZPU" cliff "for shooting».
See for yourself:
- Tilt the door back onto the stopper.
- Put the inner shoulder strap with TKN-3 on the stopper.
- Remove the middle shoulder strap from the stop lock from the stop and rotate the installation towards the enemy.

(To accelerate, we shoot without using a sight, and we will assume that the box is already fastened, the tape is laid in the receiver, the fuse is off, the machine gun is cocked - this is how we violate the safety rules).

- Disconnect the cradle.
- Turn the vertical flywheel with your right hand, locking it with your fingers with the lever on the flywheel handle.
- With the left hand holding the extended lever, with a force we turn the device horizontally and stop it with the whole hand, pressing this lever down, and ...

Attention drum roll ...

Without changing the position of a single muscle (!!!) of the hands, with the fingers of the left hand, we press the lever of the electric trigger. If you do not reach the desired "shooter", then repeat the horizontal lead again.

Even a trained tanker will mess around long enough for him to be guaranteed and spanked several times. A newcomer will not be able to understand the intricacies of leverage at all, and he always lacks one, third, hand.

If for some unknown reason you remained alive, then you need to perform this procedure in the reverse order. Otherwise, the “Cliff” trunk will fly up to the heavens, and the average shoulder strap will dangle from side to side, respectively, you can forget about trying to see something through TKN-3.

As a result, the "cliff" of the tank was loved at the roadblocks, when armor was attached to reinforcements.

A competent tanker from such a machine gun will not let anyone on the effective range of fire from small arms. That's all his ability to use in the way in which he is now.

At the Tagil arms exhibition in 2013, a variant of the “urban tank” was shown, at which the commander's protective box was installed.


Photo 44: Protection commander for firing from the ZPU.

Until now I have been asking everyone: to which pursuit is this shell attached? Kind of like an internal epaulet with TKN-3. Otherwise it makes no sense ... The commander clearly has his hands and his back will fall off after an hour of torsion of this size of scrap metal.

Of course, such protection is better than nothing, but: how much is the total: TKN-3 + ZPU Utes (Kord) + barrel-shaped protection? This money is almost thrown to the wind.

Maybe all the same TKN-4C-01 and not so expensive? And maybe, finally, we will reconsider the doctrine of the use of portable weapons, re-qualifying it from anti-aircraft to auxiliary for personal protection from bearded lovers to carry a “seven” on their shoulder?

Armament Conclusion:
- Wonderful modernization of the entire main complex: gun + AZ + ammunition of increased power. Together, this significantly increases the tank's ability to accurately and quickly destroy the enemy.
- PKT, as always, taxis.
—ZPU is a complete disregard for the life of tankers and belittling the fire capabilities of the machine.


4. Change in fire fighting equipment


The system of fire-fighting equipment (PPO) 3ЭЦ13 "Hoarfrost" of the T-72B3 tank is a development of NPO Electromashina.


Photo 46: The composition of the kit PPO "Frost."

It is an automatic system for detecting and extinguishing a fire, ensuring the ESD mode under operating conditions.
Action: 2 multiple.
To extinguish the fires, there is an 4 cylinder with an extinguishing mixture “114B2 freon” and “13B1 freon”.
The system includes: automatic control unit В13, control panel and alarm system П13, ventilation control box КУВ11-6-1с, dynamic braking box К11. The notification of the system is made by 10 optical sensors OD1-1С and 5 with temperature sensors TD-1 (in the engine compartment).


Photo 47: layout of the 3ETS13 devices in the tank.

When the system is triggered, 90% of the extinguishing agent is ejected in a time not exceeding 150 milliseconds from the sensor signal.
The principle of the system is based on the extinguishing action of halocarbons, i.e. on the inhibitory (retarding) effect, which consists in introducing into the flame zone a negative catalyst for the oxidation reaction of hydrocarbons. The software system can be activated automatically or manually from the buttons on the control panels at the vehicle commander or the driver. In addition, the tank is equipped with two handheld carbon dioxide fire extinguishers, often referred to among tank crews as the “Hero's Dream”.

Nothing new in the software system T-72B3 is not noticeable. "Rime" was installed on armored vehicles since T-72BA (although I remember it perfectly in the second half of 90-x on T-72B). Put this equipment and T-90.
For 1989 cars of the year, of course, it is a novelty ... For those who doubt, a photo, where the characteristic contours of the 13 Pneumx control panel and alarm system of the Hoarfrost system are visible in the background. The 3, 13, 1 sub-indices are possible in 2EC11.


48 photo: OD1-1С optical sensor installed in the control compartment. Background PU PU system.

Previously, the T-72B was installed on the 3ATS11-3 system with 14-15 thermal sensors (without optical), three times a day with 3 cylinders filled with “114B2 Freon”.

Conclusion: This PPO is not a novelty, but it is undoubtedly better than the old 80’s standard models, which were replaced during modernization.

5. Protection


A. Internal:
Identify internal changes in booking a car is not possible, and rightly so. Secrets - they must be secrets in Africa too. However, it is hard to believe in the production of works in this direction: to alter the tower and the building is not at all that easy.

Reservations turret T-72 refers to the "semi-active" type. In front of the tower are two cavities located at an angle 54-55 degrees to the longitudinal axis of the gun. In each cavity there is a pack of twenty 30-mm blocks, each of which consists of 3 layers glued together. Block layers: 21-mm armor plate, 6-mm rubber layer, 3-mm metal plate. 3 thin metal plates are welded to the armor plate of each unit, providing the distance between the 22 units mm. Both cavities have an 45-mm armor plate located between the bag and the internal wall of the cavity. The total weight of the contents of the two cavities 781 kg.


49 Photo: T-72B tank filler package with reflective sheets.

The constructions of non-explosive anti-cumulative dynamic protection contain, instead of a layer of explosives between the outer inert layers of a material with a high density, an inner layer of a chemically inert material called "filler", such as plastic, rubber, paraffin, or mixtures based on them. When a CS penetrates through a "non-explosive" element, a diverging shock wave is formed in the filler, under the influence of which the material of the outer layers surrounding the point of impact is accelerated. Due to the rapid decrease in pressure in the HC, the acceleration of the outer layers is localized near the point of impact. Despite the limited size of the zone in which the accelerated movement of the outer layers of an EDS with an inert filler occurs, a decrease in the depth of the armor-piercing effect due to the destruction of the high-speed part of the CS can reach 65-70%.
Abroad, this type of protection is classified as NERA (non-energetic reactive armor).


Photo 50: One of the niches with installed packages of tank filler T-72B.


B. External:
Seeing for the first time the external protection of the T-72B3, you involuntarily fall into a complete tailspin ...
Did TTZ exactly make up the General Staff of the Russian Federation? Or maybe the enemies are warning in advance?

Let's try to consider without a mat. Why is there no "Relic"? Or is it not the end of the year 2013?

Universal complex DZ "Contact-5" was adopted in the middle 80-s. What does it mean?


Photo 51: Installing remote "Contact-5" on T-72B3.

Why is the fighting machine protected worse than the old T-72B?
WE HAVE NOT HAVE A BITTERY EXPERIENCE AT ALL RECENTLY?
No matter how paradoxical it may sound, the protection variant “Contact-1” of the T-72B tank looks ... somehow preferable.


Photo 52: Installing remote "Contact-1" on T-72B.

And this is not said for the sake of a red word.

Many tankers, who happened to "work" on orders in different "tmutrakani", would prefer a CONTINUOUS protection with old DZ blocks than any supernovaled new (even "Relic") installed in places and ... in chunks.
The fact is that there are not “Javelins” at every corner, but all sorts of bearded men who consider the G7 to be their national weapon - at least a dime a dozen. You can even stumble about them in some parts at every turn.

Tower Defense:
Why is it completely open in frontal projection?
On the one hand, they dismantled the "Moon" and ... forgot to install the DZ block? From the PCT embrasure to the nearest block there is still a football field of frontal armor.
On the other hand, the hole is left in favor of the comfort of the driver? What a caring we GSH.

But for some reason on other models of combat vehicles do not care so much. As on the same "Slingshot", for example, or T-90. So it is possible?


Photo 53: T-90 with DZ "Contact-5" around the gun mask.

Why are T-72B3 DZ blocks placed with such disregard?


Photo 54: Placing DZ blocks on the T-72B3 tower.

And the matter is not even in the holes between the blocks, but in the openness of the tower shoulder strap, which on T-72B was covered with an additional belt of “Contact-1” blocks.


Photo 55: T-72B turret protection (Army of Belarus).

And even with such protection, they hung and wound up anything:

Why is the T-72B3 shoulder strap open to all winds?


Photo 57: Breaking the tower below blocks DZ T-72B (M). Xnumx Omsbr. The crew died. January 74

Why can not make the most complete protection?


58 Photo: Frontal protection option for the T-90 turret.

Although even on the T-90 the shoulder strap is protected worse than on the T-80U.

Photo 59: T-80 and T-90 turret shoulder strap protection scheme.

In the defense of the tower on the sides and back of the T-72B3, as always, they control the long-suffering boxes of spare parts.


Photo 60: Side protection of the tower and the hull T-72B3.



Photo 61: Terrible. January 1995. The tank commander was killed.

Again, we will independently sculpt protection from what is at hand?


Photo 62: Side protection of the tower from the drawers of the RAV tank T-72B near the village of Komsomolsk. The lattice screen with a raised OPVT pipe is clearly visible.

Protection of the roof of the tower - a separate issue.
Why was it so on T-72B?


63 photo: T-72B tower roof protection.

Why it became so?


64 photo: T-72B3 tower roof protection.

The idea of ​​the GSH is not clear ...
- If this is a defense in a large-scale war, then it will not help in any way against cluster munitions aviation and MLRS large caliber WTO regime. By the way, the anti-nuclear bullet also disappeared.
“If this is protection from bearded men with the G7, then they ... will just laugh while looking at this protection!”
They searched for unprotected places.


Photo 65: Grozny. January 1995. Falling from the top floor of the building into the commander's turret T-72B. The commander died.

This car could only be stopped like this ...
THIS MUST NOT REPEAT.

Enclosure protection:
Protection of frontal armor corps pleases. And the side? There is no her. Photos of 60 and 66.

Photo 66: Side protection body T-72B3.

In the protection of the sides of the case at the head of the corner stands rubber screen. Even without boxes DZ "Contact-1".

Based on the realities of applications mounted DZ (city), we can draw some conclusions:

The contact of the case with a non-combat obstacle:
Weak:
- Rubber fabric screen with boxes DZ well bends around minor obstacles WITHOUT damage to the protection itself.
- Frame hanging DZ demolishes.
- Heavy screens are in place.
Среднее:
- Rezinotkanevy screen pulls away cell by cell, if they are not fixed among themselves.
- Frame hanging demolishes.
- Heavy screen stands still.
Strong:
- Rubber in the trash.
- Skeleton in twist.
- Heavy screen pulls down one span.

Why on T-72B3 not put side protection, as, for example, in the serial BMO-T?


Photo 67: Lateral protection BMO-T. The parade of troops in Yekaterinburg.

Protection rear projection remains the greatest misfortune of serial machines. It seems that the tanks never turn their backs on the enemy ... You tell me about this “bearded” with the “seven”. He is just waiting for this, because THIS is his bread.


68 Photo: Rear Projection Protection T-72B3.

And where is the defense? Barrels are removed before the "work". All naked. Why it is impossible to put lattice screens, like in BMPT or a variant of a city tank?


Photo: 69. Protection of the rear projection of the version of the "urban tank" modifications T-72.

Creating a simple circular defense is not a flight to Mars of a nuclear-powered submarine with a ballistic missile on a caterpillar. Everything is much and much easier. And inexpensive. The question is why do we do this? Almost a rhetorical question, if his tankers are more than 20-years old (in my spirit) are asked.

The T-72B3 protection conclusion is very emotional. Because it is not clear what interferes with hanging “boxes” with “Contact-5” or “Relic” on the ALL surface? The total mass of equipped DZ blocks? But it seems there is still a sufficient resource of modernization without significant changes in the hardware. And even with the B-84 engine, power density does not suffer.

Conclusion on protection: I would not send my tank crews to “work” without boiling additional DZ boxes and grids. With the involvement of, respectively, BREM and with the agreement with the deputy technologist and ... "chm.shnikami."

6. Engine, transmission and chassis.


Almost no changes.

Engine:
B-84-1 left in place. B-92 is not set. Tankers, accustomed to the GTE, are shocked by all engines without distinction, but diesel drivers are frankly happy. The 84 is time tested and reliable. The troops know how to handle it. B-92 needs to collect claims from army trials.
And so, this is the same upgraded B-46-6. He has a large family: В-46-2С1, В-46-4, В-46-5, В-46-5М, В-84, В-84-1, В-84М, В-84М, В-84-1, В-XNUMXМ, В-XNUMXМ, В-XNUMX-XNUMX, В-XNUMXМ, В-XNUMXМ, В-XNUMX-XNUMX, В-XNUMXМ, В-XNUMXХ .


Photo: 70. Engine B-84 cm horsepower 840



Transmission:
Once moved the same, then the transmission is really the same. Guitar unchanged, BKP without amplification and an increase in the number of friction pairs in the friction controls. Bearings support sun gear are the same. The radiators and the friction clutch are the same.

Chassis:
Replaced caterpillar with a serial RMSH on a caterpillar with parallel RMSH. They are currently installed on both the T-90 (with 1996 g.) And T-72BA (with 2000 g.) When upgraded with replacement of the corresponding chassis parts in order to operate this track.

Whether the entire undercarriage was upgraded to the level of T-72BA (there were tangible changes in the installation variant of the B-92C2 engine) is unknown.


Photo 71: Caterpillar with parallel RMSH.


Conclusion:
No change except the caterpillar and the necessary elements of the chassis.


General conclusion:


A) Emotional:
Disappointment. Over the 20 years, almost nothing has changed with the modernization of the T-72. (Personal opinion, some talk about both 25 and 30 years of experience).

B) Objective (in moderation):
- Impressive modernization of the whole set of capabilities of the main staff under the gunner’s control: an upgraded tank gun with improved shooting parameters, a new aiming complex, an upgraded automatic loader with the possibility of firing with the newest shots.
- It depresses the leveling of these qualities by an almost blind commander.
It's not a secret for specialists that hitting a target ... is much easier than detecting and classifying a danger in time. The commander of the T-72B3 is unable to do this.
- There is hope about bringing to the mind installed communication systems.
- PPO "Frost" is not bad, but 2-multiplicity of application is not enough, it is desirable to increase, as well as the number of cylinders.
- Complete shock from the protection of the hull and turret.
- The engine, transmission and chassis (except for the harp with RMSH) - the same as many years ago.
Overall impression - began upgrading the machine and ... did not finish it. Moreover, further improvement of the machine does not require additional serious money.

After written:

At the exhibition of armament, military equipment and ammunition Russia Arms Expo (RAE 2013) a full-scale model of KAZ Arena-E mounted on T-72B3 was presented. Modern and costly achievements of the military industry are again side by side with ... TKN-3 commander and an open ZPU ...


Photo 72: T-72B3 with KAZ "Arena-E."


PS
The concept of the General Staff in relation to the existing fleet of tanks in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is visible:
- Reliance on the existing park T-90.
- Liquidation of machines of the T-80 family.
- Upgrade the T-72 to the level T-72B3.
Hence:
T-90 around 500 pcs.
The rest of the niche will occupy T-72B3.

And it will be BEFORE the arrival of "Almaty".
But Armata is still at the design and testing stage.
In order for it to go into series, a long-term cycle of state and military tests is necessary. And only after that it will be possible to talk about serial deliveries of the volumes that the military-industrial complex will be able to provide and pay for the Defense Ministry under the rearmament state program.

So ... We are entering the XXI century, before entering the linear armored units and units, "Armaty" with ... the current version of T-72B3?

Tankers are not critics. “Fuel Oil” (of my generation and many others) thinks about HOW you can accomplish the task and order on available military equipmentwhile maintaining the lives of fighters. Tankmen of linear units do not dream of future promises and do not wave the booklets of the newest tanks. They serve in the army TODAY on the technique that is in the army. And right now.

        guys! I honestly have no armored vehicles, unlike my grandfather, who went through the war all over Europe and all of Europe, but are there any specialists here? so, looking at the tank biathlon on tv, what I saw was really jarring, constant equipment failures (and the tanks were being prepared!) unconvincing shooting (and the best crews and arrows), so-so driving (and mechanics are the best drivers) as a result what do we have in the bottom line? there’s no demand from conscripts, for a year they don’t know anything at all (with the exception of nuggets that are always everywhere) but apparently also contract soldiers what not really .... since it’s the best.

          Yuryevich, the decades of collapse, crowned by the time when the Armed Forces lived under the "chairmanship" of Perdukov, do not pass in vain. Unfortunately.
          It seems that the leaders sometimes thought, like the hero of J. Hasek, that "military service is a joke, a comedy", that one can escape from all problems by concluding a "suction" agreement, that a defense plant that has stood for ten years is possible, as if nothing had happened , to re-launch the production of complex military equipment in large quantities and of acceptable quality ...
          At the biathlon this is a natural result, s (despite the fact that exercises, frankly, are not the top of the difficulty).

              Hello Alexey! Thank you very much for the work done on the analysis of "this marvelous modernization" and for the excellent article. It reminded me of this modernization, the modernization of the T-64 of the first issues in the GSVG in the 80s, they considered that the inclined sheet was thin and decided to weld on an additional sheet 5 cm thick, the effect is very dubious, but the center of mass was violated. Well, for the modernization to be correct, you need officers from the Arbat district and the General Staff in tanks and in hot spots. I think all the tankers and you and I were happy about the results of the modernization.

            Alexei, this is understandable, but I’m thinking, since they invited the NATO troops to biathlon, what are they counting on? if they refuse, then their affairs are no better? and if they accept the challenge, then what will we put up? T-80 or T-90 with letters? and the crews are already training? like the Olympians, in advance? but now it’s clear that the army is full of ahtutg! not so long ago, fate brought together friends of the tanker on one anniversary, well, and after the adoption, two men naturally started talking for service, I’m an Air Force, and he is a tanker, and he complained that they put him from 64 to 72, he says I was at ease, everything worked out, but in 72ke, I didn’t like everything.

      As I understood from the article, the key problem is protection (it does not completely cover key places) / not an automatic system for machine gun air defense / and the Pine scope which is not placed correctly and is closed by a bar (without an automatic system).
      Well, like all this can be changed? it’s certainly more difficult to place Pines, but setting an automatic bar is not a problem. Maybe they will listen to the tankers and make changes, it seems not so difficult / costly. The main thing is to knock the bosses may lobby until 2020, we will believe in the best.

      The general idea of ​​the "budgetary" modernization is still clear: to install a thermal imager, to make it possible to use new ammunition, to install modern communications and dynamic protection. All. Not enough, of course, but if they did it wisely, efficiently, then you can put up with it.

I had to crawl through Western modern tank models, with a sophisticated electronic nightie, and according to their specialists, the sizes of the crew’s armored capsule were calculated by the tank designers in such a way that the ergonomics and convenience of the crew would not be disturbed with further upgrades (They even set the air conditioner, since the electronics themselves generate a lot of heat during operation), which affects the crew’s fatigue. How did you solve the situation in this project? After all, crew fatigue is also a rather important aspect during multi-day military operations and exercises?

          Alas, in our cars (for the Russian Federation), condos do not bet. There is no operational experience.
          As for heating from electronics, I will not say that this is a problem on the T-72B (only when the 1K-13 is running). Perhaps the situation on the T-80 is more complicated, this should be clarified with the "GTDs". The heat is mainly from the ambient temperature and the heating of the armor itself.

          Here, of course .... ahem, problems. At first, as you dive under the armor, there is really NOTHING to breathe and EVERYTHING is hot. The air is "harder" and "heavier" than in a sauna. Then you get used to it. Worse - when you get out ...

      The question is controversial ... and of course now the value as a ZPU is low, although UAVs are quite suitable for dealing with light UAVs ... and even for fighting ground-based ones, STILL HOW!

You can not only fire at marked targets in a given sequence. You can specify the sector that will be fired at the same density. You can replace NSVT with AG directly in the field.

            This is not a locator. If the tank has TNA, then there is a Doppler track sensor. Which is no different from the Doppler speed sensor included in the radar sight. The sight does not detect air targets. It measures the speed of already detected and introduces lead.

                    It is necessary to verify it, to drive on the bases. I remember that the scout was screwed up, and then, for a week, he was busy with the chief artillery chief with their BRM-1K and BRDMmmi.

                    I was joking right now, the new TNA-4-3 and TNA-M equipment will already be equipped with Doppler sensors, but not with flat antennas, as before in artillery KShM, but with cylindrical ones.

                    By the way, there is another interesting thing surfaced, I quote:
                    Currently, on the basis of the Kapustnik-B integrated automated artillery fire control system, an automated fire and maneuver control system for a tank battalion has been developed and tested, which will be installed on command tanks. According to experts, this system will increase the combat effectiveness of a tank unit by two to four times.

        Well, it seems, with the latest GTD-1250 engine, it was possible to make the T-80U more economical, but I believe the problem is that they have lost the ability to make and maintain such engines. There is another good Soviet tank, the T-80UD, with the 6TD-1 which the Ukrainians are developing in full and not even bad at all. In my opinion, the whole problem is in the influence of UVZ, everything from them cannot be put on Russian tanks, except for such things as thermal imagers, which UVZ cannot do. UVZ is still not able to make a modern transmission and engine, even the most sophisticated T-90MS demonstrator rides a forced B-92 (93) and a T-72 transmission, which migrated from the T-54 .. Therefore, what kind of T- 80U ?? Yes, even though it will be 3 times better, but if the product is not from UVZ, then no way! But they could have provided the army with relatively modern and reliable tanks for a long time. How many T-80 rots under the Russian sky ?! What are the residents of Omsk now inventing, is the design bureau preserved? Why not take from the Ukrainians a modernized transmission that allows reverse travel up to 30 km / h, as on all modern tanks (all UVZ products are not faster than 5 km / h), plus a 6TD-2 engine? Now on this basis (modernized T-80 with 6TD-2 + transmission) to put the already tested concept of the ob640 tower (Black Eagle) and its further development "Burlak", that is, with AZ in the rear of the tower + panoramic sight for the commander, the same Pine -U, just not cut down, like the T-72B3, ZPU with channel output to the commander's monitor, + DZ "Relic", if it saves from tandem and armor-piercing. Sufficient protection by blocking all weak zones of the remote sensing + grating. This is how I see a possible, effective modernization of Russian tanks, it would be feasible if first of all we thought about the survival of the crew and combat effectiveness (the absence of a panoramic stabilized periscope at the commander of the main tank of Russia, this is sabotage in my opinion). I wonder how much money has been given by the state to UVZ over the past 15 years? I suspect that a lot, a lot of billion $? Why do Ukrainians, Kharkiv citizens, without such funds, without spending the budget, make, in my opinion, tanks better than UVZ? Why haven't the authorities forced UVZ, or someone else, to cooperate with Ukraine?

            - Practice is almost zero. "Lomik" wears out the barrel very much.
            Practical projectile for full-time training more often looks like a cumulative.

            And in a real combat situation in the BC, they were also not common. There was simply no corresponding opponent. When the Czechs-1 were cumulative in BC.

                Throughout the "conscious" life of the tank troops, they shoot at them and adjust the settings themselves. There is a special spare parts kit for this case.
                But here the process itself is significantly different on old tanks and tanks with modern SLAs.
                On the latter, in addition to reconciling the zero aiming line, it is necessary to check the electric zero of the system using special devices, to correct the working out of the aiming angles and lateral lead for each type of a / c, the resolution zone of the shot, etc.
                True, this is rarely done due to the fact that a new battle tank must be calibrated and adjusted from the factory, and for confident hits on target No. 12,12b at a range of 1500-1600m, which is typical for UUS and UKS, reconciliation and adjustment are enough machines of the combat training group in the old fashioned way. AND many have little literacy, although these adjustments are not very complicated.

                    The differences in the flight path are not significant; at the ranges of the actual fire, they do not require adjustment of the development of the FCS of the aiming angles. Unlike, for example, O / F, they are also different, and even of the same model (they differ in weight and require, in a good way, sorting by weight)

It’s quite troublesome, so you need to drill exactly through the center, otherwise an imbalance will arise, which, when the projectile moves towards the target, will reduce its accuracy. And a tracer is already installed in the tail of the projectile so that it would be possible to correct the shooting ...

                        This is nonsense, accelerated in front of the target. It is not possible to enter the range before the shot into the fuse, which means that some kind of radio fuse is needed that measures the distance to the target in flight in order to turn on the accelerator. It is painfully difficult, too susceptible to counteracting electronic warfare. Stations of interference with radio fuses appeared in the 80s of the last century.

                        An alien tank can move. So the required accuracy cannot be provided. Acceleration, after all, should not happen earlier and not later - all this significantly reduces the final speed. Such a "crowbar" by default will have a larger diameter, which means greater air resistance

                        outfit PFHE Mk 2 (Proximity Fuze High Explosive)

                        Fragmentation projectile with a non-contact fuse Mk 2 and a body containing ready-made striking elements (GGE). Intended for the destruction of aircraft, helicopters, cruise missiles and surface ships. When a shell explodes, more than 2400 killer fragments are formed. Experiments have shown that a helicopter propeller blade can be destroyed when a projectile is detonated at a distance of 0,5 m from it. In an explosion at a distance of 0,4 m, the probability of screw failure becomes very high.

                        The defeat of cruise missiles by shell fragments is achieved due to the defeat of the missile control unit. On average, ten hits of fragments in the projection of a rocket are enough for this purpose.

                        The Mk 2 detonator is equipped with a target selection device, which allows, for example, to distinguish a helicopter propeller when it protrudes slightly above the tops of trees and distinguish a surface target against the background of wave crests. In terms of safety, it meets the requirements of NATO standards (NATO STANAG) and the United States (US. MIL-STD 331 and 810), which ensures the introduction of two independent mechanical devices, as well as an electronic unit that enables the fuse to be fired at a distance of 300 m from the gun. The fuse is stable in a wide range of weather conditions, including tropical rain.

                        Projectile PFPPX (Proximity Fuze Prefragmented Programmable) (proximity fuse, pre-fabricated PE, programmable). The heaviest, most complex and expensive ammunition shell. The mass of the projectile is 975 g, the mass of the explosive charge is -120 g, the filling coefficient is 0,123. The explosives used are PBX (octogen / organic binder (90 / 10)) or octol (octogen / trinitrotoluene (78 / 22)). The shell of the shell contains 1100 ready-made striking elements (GGE) in the form of balls of tungsten alloy with a diameter of 3 mm (weight about 0,25 g). When a projectile explodes, also about 3000 fragments of natural crushing are formed, capable of piercing a duralumin shield with a thickness of 2 mm, installed at a distance of 1,5 m from the point of detonation. The greatest damaging effect when firing at an aircraft is observed in the case of a projectile detonation at a distance of 2,5 m from the target, and when firing at anti-ship missiles - up to 2 m

                        It’s strange for ordinary BPS they don’t move? And here is the super-duper super-high-speed projectile.

                        A conventional BOPS does not need to turn on the accelerator at an exact distance from the target. It will turn on earlier - the speed will drop due to air resistance, turn on later, and the shell will not have time to gain maximum speed.

                        The projectile can be very expensive to manufacture, and the fuse unpretentious. And vice versa. For example, Soviet remote tube fuses with high-precision mechanical clockwork are much more expensive than the shells themselves.

And on the basis of this, the ballistic computer will calculate the meeting point (naturally, taking into account everything from the wind speed to the charge temperature)

                        Projectile PFPPX (Proximity Fuze Prefragmented Programmable) (proximity fuse, pre-fabricated PE, programmable). The heaviest, most complex and expensive ammunition shell. The mass of the projectile is 975 g, the mass of the explosive charge is -120 g, the filling coefficient is 0,123. The explosives used are PBX (octogen / organic binder (90 / 10)) or octol (octogen / trinitrotoluene (78 / 22)). The shell of the shell contains 1100 ready-made striking elements (GGE) in the form of balls of tungsten alloy with a diameter of 3 mm (weight about 0,25 g). When a projectile explodes, also about 3000 fragments of natural crushing are formed, capable of piercing a duralumin shield with a thickness of 2 mm, installed at a distance of 1,5 m from the point of detonation. The greatest damaging effect when firing at an aircraft is observed in the event of a projectile detonation at a distance of 2,5 m from the target, and when firing at anti-ship missiles - up to 2 m. 0-mm PFPPX projectile

                        The projectile fuse is programmable, i.e. can be set to one of six types of actions:
                        1) non-contact action, included only in the target area (air targets)
                        2) the same type of action with an increased direct hit priority (large air targets)
                        3) temporary (remote) action (small maneuverable and camouflaged ground and underwater targets)
                        4) contact (impact) action (ground and surface targets)

                        For starters, firing is conducted, including for air targets that have a much higher speed than the TANK? Do you dare? Can you turn on the logic?
                        Secondly, the speed near 1000 m / s and the speed drop for this type of projectile (did you understand that they are not subcalibers at least?) Are significant. The explosion detonation function is also necessary, that is, a NON-CONTACT fuse.

                        Option two - a radio fuse only if the fuse does not work
                        Option three - the radio fuse does not turn on, only remote detonation.
                        Fourth option - only fuse, radio and remote do not turn on
                        The fifth option is shock with deceleration. Undermining is made after breaking through an obstacle

                        Again, the inclusion of a fool and getting into insignificant details went. What real facts do we have? Correctly. Even for fragmentation projectile, which can cause damage to the target even when a gap near it, they considered it necessary fuse with a radar sensor. And the projectile we are talking about needs a lot more accuracy, right?

                        The projectile fuse is programmable, i.e. can be set to one of six types of actions:
                        1) non-contact action, included only in the target area (air targets)
                        2) the same type of action with an increased direct hit priority (large air targets)
                        3) temporary (remote) action (small maneuverable and camouflaged ground and underwater targets)
                        4) contact (impact) action (ground and surface targets)
                        5) shock armor-piercing action (ground and surface targets)

            The question is rather complicated (it is not without reason that research institutes deal with it wink ).
            Armor penetration (including) rather depends not on the length of the "arrow", but on the specific load at the point of contact with the armor.
            It is impossible to infinitely reduce the diameter of BOPs, increase the length, apply cores from depleted uranium, etc., in general, the problem is complex, and, at the present stage of progress, an increase in length is recognized as necessary.

                    therefore, if they do not increase the length, then with the same core material, you will have to increase the diameter; and a cone that is more elongated and of a smaller diameter pushes the air apart more easily, and for a longer boom the plumage will start earlier and better

                    If you believe what they write, 1800m / s, then higher than DM-63 1750m / s. But if I’m not mistaken, then the problem of domestic BOPSs like Mango and Lead is a loss of speed, about 200m / s per 1000m, in comparison with the same Amer, or German, which lose 100-120m / s per 1000m.

At the plant, reduce the thugs, idlers, "relatives." Create a special team to interact with military units and identify deficiencies in the design of equipment and its control during combat operations. The military acceptance should also check that the requirements of military units are taken into account during the modernization, repair and creation of equipment. The described in the article also takes place in other areas (aviation, navy, etc.).

    Creating a simple circular defense is not a caterpillar ballistic missile submarine flying to Mars. Everything is much, much simpler. And inexpensive. The question is why are we doing this?


    I will try to answer laughing

    Early morning. Monsieur Serdyukov, scratching his "work callus", gets out of bed. At this moment, Mrs. Vasilyeva, covering herself with a blanket in his bed, sighs languidly and pouts her lips in a capricious voice: “Dear, did you see what the General Staff sent us yesterday? And Irochka needs a new car! And Allochka wanted to fly to Paris, she wanted to buy a dress from Cardin from the new collection. YES, and you promised me a necklace, well, you remember for 300 thousand dollars. Now even Skrynnik will envy me. "
    Serdyukov grunts indistinctly, puts on slippers with pumpons and goes into the bathroom. There, purring under his breath: "We are not stokers, we are not carpenters ..", - accepts water procedures.

    The concept of the General Staff in relation to the existing fleet of tanks in the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation is visible:
    - Reliance on the existing park T-90.
    - Liquidation of machines of the T-80 family.
    - Upgrade the T-72 to the level T-72B3.
    Hence:
    T-90 around 500 pcs.
    The rest of the niche will occupy T-72B3.

    And it will be BEFORE the arrival of "Almaty".
    But Armata is still at the design and testing stage.
    In order for it to go into series, a long-term cycle of state and military tests is necessary. And only after that it will be possible to talk about serial deliveries of the volumes that the military-industrial complex will be able to provide and pay for the Defense Ministry under the rearmament state program.

    So ... We are entering the XXI century, before entering the linear armored units and units, "Armaty" with ... the current version of T-72B3?

    Complete decommissioning of the T-80 by 2015, at the current pace of modernization to B3 level of 100-200 units.

    In stock 2013 total:
    T-90A - 500 pcs.
    T-80 - 4000 pcs.
    T-72 - 9000 thousand units.

    Estimated presence in the troops in 2013 (according to the reform of 2000 units of 5000 units in storage):
    T-90 - 500 pcs.
    T-72B, B3 - 600 pcs.
    T - 80 - 900 pcs. At the time of 2013


    By 2015, the T-80 is withdrawn from service. Replacement T-72.
    150 T-72B3 arrive annually .. At the time of 2013, about 300 units were already delivered. So by 2015 .... 150 units * 2 years another 300. Total 300 + 300 = 600 units. B3
    What is the result:
    2015 year
    T-90A - 500 units.
    T-72B3 - 600 units

    T-72B - 900 units. at the time of 2015. - in the active parts instead of the T-80.

    If you could find a way for the GTE to stop eating kerosene "like a bull's slop", and to make it cheaper and more maintainable, then, undoubtedly having its own advantages, the GTD-1250 would take the place of a diesel engine in MBT.

        Is diesel not a waste in the manufacture of gasoline, kerosene? That is, oil is divided into fractions ... gasoline-kerosene-diesel-fuel oil .. Diesel can be made from everything and tons of oil is enough to make more diesel than kerosene, or not? So, I found this opinion: If we take the GTD-1000 (1250), for the T-80 tanks, then the main fuel there is diesel fuel, the backup fuel is kerosene, and the reserve fuel is gasoline. In peaceful life, they travel exclusively with reserve fuel (kerosene), in a combat situation it is supposed to refuel with the main (diesel fuel).

          You do not confuse the waste and high-quality fuels necessary for the normal operation of modern internal combustion engines. You don’t have to simplify too much.
          And for tank troops, the main thing is not how expensive the fuel is, but that it can be delivered in sufficient quantities under enemy fire to the tanks in wartime.
          Fuel, God forbid, a war, and not like the United States and companies with Iraq, but the real one, there will be no abundance, there will be a lack. As, by the way, and spare parts, rem. Fund and the repairmen themselves, too.

It's probably too early to talk about it! Not ready, either the authorities, or the country for a real fight against corruption and bureaucracy. What is the case of Serdyukov and his gangs - well, they cannot do anything, but with General Shemyakin, Colonels Budanov, Kvachkov, Khabarov and probably dozens of unknowns to us - everything turns out quickly, efficiently and without alternative, which suggests not the triumph of law, but about political expediency or individual personal ambitions!

      Let me answer you like a poet: "The theory is boring, my friend, but the tree of life is flourishing."
      You can not compare a gas turbine with a power plant, a ship with an aircraft or tank GTE.
      All that we discuss is well known what kind of fuel is needed (and how many hours it is permissible to work on it) written in IE and TO.
      The factory does not strongly recommend its own notions in operation.
      And how much kerosene costs is well known in any airline, for the summer of 2013 more than 36 tr., Diesel fuel is cheaper, but its gas turbine engine eats a little more, and kerosene for a gas turbine engine is still "dearer", if it were not so, then and planes would be refueled by diesel fuel.
      And what happens if the premium injectors "smoke" (and how much it costs) even many motorists know. wassat
      Tank GTE is a complex and expensive unit that requires high-quality fuel and lubricants and, in operating conditions in a tank, fuel consumption, especially in variable modes, which distinguishes driving on the ground from an aircraft flight, and is currently not competitive with a diesel engine.
      Which, in fact, is proved by the development of the world tank engine building.

    The content of the article evokes great respect for its author, who, apparently, has extensive experience in the combat use of tanks not only at a tank training ground, but also in battle. A detailed analysis of various structural elements and units of the modernization of the tank shows, using the example of the common misfortune of our Armed Forces - the complete collapse of military science. After all, not the General Staff of the Armed Forces, not the GABTU or GRAU or others, let's say, ordering departments should develop TTZ for modernization, but the research institutes of the corresponding Types of Aircraft under the control and with the direct participation of these ordering departments. Based on the analysis of the development of world trends, future military threats, the development of science and technology, the production capabilities of manufacturing plants. And they were defeated by reductions and "reforms and optimizations." Now there is a reaping of the fruits that was heaped up. Another difference from the "days of the past": before the beginning of the "perestroika-shootout" times in the central special directorates of the Armed Forces, military research institutes gathered the best specialists from all over the country and presented good, naturally, free housing. That is why competent and sophisticated operating experience and BP specialists served and were really useful in them. With the advent of market relations, only those who had their own housing in Moscow now serve in these military organizations, so one wonders why there are many mediocrities there. After all, Russia is famous for its talents, not Moscow. That is, it seems that this modernization of the tank is a reflection of a deep systemic crisis in the creation, modernization and production of military equipment and equipment. And there is no need to talk about the military development of our Armed Forces (or rather, its shyness), all for the same reasons.

      Something market relations do not prevent the same Poles, Ukrainians, Czechs, Slovaks from modernizing or making new equipment? I'm not even talking about countries such as Germany, Sweden ... In my opinion, the problem is that there is no competition between design bureaus in Russia, UVZ crushed everything for itself, the same Omsk people with their deep and promising modernization ob 640 "Black Eagle" like also now under UVZ. But when was this Ob.640 tested? How many years have passed! It would have been possible to supply the army with an excellent modernization of the T-80 for a long time .. Unfortunately, at the top of the UVZ, in the Ministry of Defense and General Staff there are people who seem to have other interests in the first place, after all, big money is being mastered .. and how quickly it ends!

    Question to GSH and MO:
    "IT and are there my taxes ????? "
    I would put it to the wall for this.
    19th century destroyer tower to protect the commander - THIS is my taxes ????
    The experience of local conflicts - it is paid in blood - WHERE are my taxes? Why not in the form of DZ on the entire surface of the tank? I do not care about the weight of this protection, they take money from my pocket to pay for the training of students in TCU, and then this money will be returned in the form of coffins? I pay all kinds of research institutes for the development of remote sensing and engines, armor and guns, and WHERE is all this?
    I look at the zombie tank biathlon and cry. The commander doesn’t get out of the machine gun, the gunner’s gunner, the mechanic’s driver goes past the track, in the fighting compartment there’s smoke after a shot, as in hell, the clutches are wedged, the crews don’t hear commands, and all this in the 21st century ???? Oh my God...
    And they read on the box of mantra - Armata-armata-armata .....

    Aleksey read about MTO and became sad :(. The approach to MO is "international":
    1. Of the several options for upgrading 64 to Bulat, we also chose the cheapest ...
    2. The most annoying Alexey is that even with the fact that you have 64 cuts, their Komadir towers with ZPUs could be adapted without special problems during the modernization of the T-72 (if they already save so much)
    3. Instead of unification with "Vladimir", at least in MTO and command instruments, a very truncated version was adopted that does not help with visibility (and target detection is already half the battle)
    4. APU, as I understand it, decided not to introduce it, and the starter-generator itself was not replaced, respectively, it is not possible to use more energy-intensive devices and it is impossible to put sights.
    Such economy is angry (protection is not subject to evaluation at all), but is it possible that simply the General Staff rate goes to other types of troops? In general, time will put everything in its place. The main thing is to be peaceful ...

      And it’s 2 times cheaper than upgrading the T-72Б3, while in my superficial view BM Bulat is the best. And the only major drawback is that it’s not connected with money, but a reserved panorama.

                "..... we use the" Diary "of the chief designer of the T-64 tank AA Morozov [18]. Many spoke about the unreliability of the T-64A running gear (object 434) and the need to improve it:
                - wrote A.A. Morozov March 5, 1973 and believed that the chassis of the T-64A is a "bone of contention" between the Kharkov plant of transport engineering them. Malysheva (HZTM) and the Leningrad Kirov Plant (LKZ). (The latter was instructed to install a gas turbine engine in the T-64 tank, and the LKZ insisted on using its undercarriage instead of the unreliable Kharkiv with metal rims of track rollers with a diameter of 550 mm and a metal track track. In 1971, a new T-80 tank was installed chassis with rubberized track rollers with a diameter of 670 mm and a track with a rubberized treadmill. Since 1985, Kharkov dwellers had to start using the chassis of the T-80 tank on the T-80UD tank [21, 22];
                - said the director of the KhZTM O.V. twice at meetings Soich. He owns the words: “The 434 chassis is unacceptable for perspectives and modernization, you cannot develop a car on this chassis” (“The director is aggressive,” A. Morozov noted);
                - insisted the Deputy Minister of Defense Industry L.A. Voronin, who proposed taking as a basis for a promising tank being developed by Morozov Design Bureau - object "450" ​​the chassis of the UVZ or LKZ;
                - the arguments of the director of the lead tank institute VNII-100 (VNIITM) V.B. Proskuryakov and E.K. Potemkin. Proskuryakov, reporting at a meeting with the Minister of Defense Industry on April 4, 1974, about testing an institute prototype of a tank weighing 45–46 tons with a view to testing promising structural elements of the chassis, listed its components, highlighting track rollers with a diameter of 750 mm, six pieces on each side (as on the T-72 tank!).

                Potemkin: “The T-72 has a reserve for the development of weight. On the T-64A this is not, especially on the chassis ... "

                Finally, there is the competent opinion of Yu.P. Kostenko, cited above, that the T-64 tank's weight reserve was initially only 8,3%. And the increase in the mass of the Ukrainian tank by 2005 in comparison with the T-64A was 27,6%! (for the T-64A, the mass is 38 tons; for the T-84 - 48,5 tons [22]) ...... "

                  I’ll ask a simple question. Have you read the diaries yourself, or have you only read extracts from the "Armament Techniques" or by Gur-Khan?
                  The issue has been discussed more than once and is a reason for holivar of any scale. The difference in weight between the T-80 of Leningrad and the T-64 BM "Bulat" is about 8-10 tons in the larger direction at Bulat. Comparative tests were carried out regarding the reliability of various chassis ...
                  There is a drawback, and it is serious only in one thing - he sat down to the very tomatoes, and if you choose between three road wheels, then the "lesser evil" will naturally be behind the hodovka from the T-80, and the decision to replace three types of MBT was in favor of the T family -80U (UD) here you and the north here you and Europe (but that was for the USSR)

                    Well, let's remove the diaries from the arguments, and return to the appearance of the T-80 tank. Information on this subject is full. Everywhere the reason why the gas turbine tank is running is not from the T-64, only one is indicated - even for the 1000-horsepower engine and the tank’s weight that was tested, it was weak.

                      1000 hp 6TD were installed on the T-64 in the last installment of problems and horrors declared by the Leningraders. The fact is that for the development of just a MTO with a gas turbine engine there is one prize and awards, but for the development of a new tank (it sounds proudly and significantly) a completely different honor and respect. and the second side of the coin is that the path that went to Leningrad, Omsk and Nizhny Tagil was expected to be a planned increase in MBT weight from modification to modification of the 27% indicated above by you, which was considered an evil by A. Morozov who considered this direction a dead end.

    It became sad - it always seemed to me that the protection by the DZ blocks was somehow strange, and now it is clearly visible that it is simply stupidly installed. How much% of the surface does it protect, interesting?
    And so I will say - since we don’t know how to protect towers of this form (do not want to?), We need to switch to welded with flat surfaces - there it will be easier for these losers to even arrange DZ ...

    Many thanks to the author for the article. Witch's kiss .... eternal memory of fallen soldiers. The engine of the B2 series is very good .... for t34. I had to talk a lot with these engines. He deserves nothing but curses. Power was checked at the stand. One engine produced 480 liters out of 500 declared. The rest are 450-460 and one 430hp Below 5 frost, only one engine was started, which gave out 480hp. And even then only to -15. All others required heating by starting heaters. Adjustment of the high-pressure fuel pump and the start of fuel supply did not give results. A very dirty engine oil runs out of all the cracks. But it’s a joke whether the cylinder blocks are installed on the crankcase without gaskets. Oil consumption is just a laugh through tears 2 ... 3 hours of operation pour a bucket of oil without looking. Then you check the oil level in the tank and add more. Fuel consumption oh god !!!!!! Injector repair manual: clean the nozzle holes .... with a wire with a diameter of 0.8 mm !!!!!!!!! Holes 8. I hope it is clear what fuel consumption. Gaskets under the head burn out with enviable regularity. There are a lot of problems. And what good the engine is, well, the exhaust sound is beautiful, formidable such a roar. Electrical equipment ... a constant generator, a 6 kg charge relay weighing ... shock. Contactor starter 10 grams of silver, why the hell? The engine of the tank requires urgent replacement. I remember reading about the IL-2 diesel engine with a power of 1500 hp. namely diesel. Raise old tech cards to upgrade. Optimize timing phases. Optimize combustion chamber. maybe it would. You can’t hope for engine X. It turns out to be a CPG from B2. Well, most of the problems are from there. Can steal engines from a leopard?

            Publications about the T-84 tank in the Russian press will certainly do a disservice to the tank builders of Ukraine, as forced specialists of UKBTM identify part of the shortcomings of the T-84. However, maybe in other countries there are potential buyers of these tanks, because Russia is not going to purchase them.

                      Two-stroke tank diesel engines developed in the USSR require ... no, no higher education is needed, but a high service culture, difficult to achieve in difficult combat conditions (about the conditions in Syria?)
                      They do not like heat, and cold, and dust. But they love butter! and DT more than others (not so much, 15-20 percent)
                      They do not forgive what other motors can forgive, for example, even a small loss of water. Or if you just pour water without sulfofilter and additives. And one more thing, they have already written about everything many times (read the article for the upcoming dream! laughing )
                      That is, maintaining combat readiness, especially in difficult conditions "life and activities of troops" much harder to organize than, say, on the same T-72.

      Where have you experienced such rarities?
      Written off at the sorting into the national economy, or what?
      According to the experience of operating diesel engines V-55, V-46, V-84, schematically repeating V-2 "such passion" was not observed.
      Some museum instructions - clean the wire with spray guns! wassat
      Yes, this motor was not a sample in terms of resource, oil consumption, etc., but
      The problems of the V-2 diesel engine were caused by the backward technology of the 30-40s.
      The technologies of today used in the production of parts of the same CPG (there have never been any special problems in the troops), crankshaft, fuel equipment and allowed to increase the motor power by 2 times.
      If such a power as that of V-92s (or, at least B-84) were tried to be removed from the V-2 of 1940 onwards, then it would simply fall apart.
      At the same time, of course, for the 21st century it is time to have a new engine and tank.
      Speaking of the "birds": a six-ton ​​Il-2 attack aircraft with a 1720 hp engine. flew with a "napruga", and only with a diesel engine of 1500 hp. would fly very "low" (and without bombs laughing)

      The engine of the B2 series is very good .... for t34.

      I skated on the T-62 for 2 years with the B-55B engine (580 horses). The company was with an increased consumption of motor resources. That is, these tanks participated in all regular firing and in all exercises. Only tanks of the training company rode more than us. I didn’t even hear about problems with the engine. I won’t say the fuel consumption (when the tanker came, filled the tanks to the very neck and skated until the next tanker arrived), oil was consumed, but sometimes after the march it was not necessary to add fuel - the level was normal.

      At 200-kilowatt diesel power plants, they often put tank derated engines - they had not been in operation for months (they used to work for half a year). Again, there were no problems with them. As a practitioner I say.

    The article is not bad. The author's blunder - arming the tank with a 2A46-5 cannon and changing
    , in connection with this, the tank’s automatic loader. In reality this is not the case.
    A description of the T-72B turret armor design is not really needed (to upgrade the T-72 to the B3 level, tanks of several modifications are used, the armor designs of which differ from each other).
    The task of upgrading the T-72 to the T-72B3 variant initially had an Achilles heel - the refusal to modernize the vehicle body and install a new engine (I mean the B-92 complete with a more powerful generator). The latter requires extremely minor modifications to the tank hull. With an increase in the power of the tank's power plant, on the T-72 you can simply install the turret from the T-90MS with all its rifle-electronic gadgets, a commander's panoramic sight, and a remote machine gun. When developing the Proryva tower, this option was initially envisaged. The dynamics of such a car will be worse than that of the 90MS due to the heavier body, and everything else will be cooler than anything else available...
    The Ministry of Defense's dislike for the Relikt remote sensing system is simply fatal; there is not a single official statement from officials about the reasons for not adopting this system into service (I already wrote on the forum that Relikt is far from being a quick-change remote sensing system, but who is stopping Kontakt-5 from being modified to security level of the Relict remote control system?).
    The tank's anti-cumulative grilles conflict with the use of the "Cape" type tank camouflage system (data from the public press; the "Cape" is not officially in service; I have not personally checked how they interfere with each other). It is impossible to understand why a cheap (compared to the cost of the tank) hull protection system is not used as standard!
    A little about the discussion about navigation equipment - the Russian army does not order command tanks at all (several vehicles over the past 15 years). How she (WE) is going to fight is unclear (although, who knows, maybe there is a large supply of BT-5 commanders).
    As a result, we have what we have... It is possible to upgrade the T-72 to a very modern level, but for a little more money, in the same time you can have the T-90MS, which has the best characteristics. It’s too late to remember the T-80: it wasn’t UVZ that killed the Omsk plant - all production, the technological equipment for the production of the tank, the workers were fucked up much earlier than the merger of the Omsk design bureau with UVZ (now there is the production of "Solntsepyok" and the modernization of the T-72 (part of it is being carried out in Omsk) are performed by workers sent from Tagil).
    The modernization of old T-72s is just an attempt to return into operation the pieces of scrap metal that are on the country's balance sheet (the original state of the modernized vehicles is clearly inoperable). There is a certain cut here (but if the idea of ​​restoring the T-80 prevails, the cut will be two hundred percent, I understand the production of tanks),
    Maybe the leadership of the state already knows who they will push the T-72B3 to later, returning the money spent. So far it is clearly betting on Armata.

      There is a link to the UVZ website, where in the “T-72 modernization” section, opposite “gun, type, caliber,” it is clearly written: 2A46M or 2A46M-5.

        I won’t leave it without attention... The 2A46-5 gun is also a UVZ product. Its feature is a system for measuring barrel bending and automatically entering the corresponding correction into the ballistic computer. This option significantly increases the accuracy of fire from a gun, without at all affecting the increase in the cost of the barrel. Therefore, since the appearance of this modification 2A46, UVZ has been pushing this gun into all variants of modifications offered to the country. Why it is not used anywhere is not a question for the authors of the weapon...
        It's like with command tanks. One not the stupidest person once explained to me that the commander’s version of the T-90 with a welded turret simply did not have time to be certified. This argument is indirectly supported by the fact that for the production of those rare command T-90s delivered to our army, they used cast turrets found in a trash heap (about the trash heap is a joke, the rest is a fact). When executing export orders, the ratio of 1:30 command and line vehicles is strictly fulfilled by UVZ...

        I understand you as a tanker as a tanker (I’ve been building tanks for so many years - I’m also a tanker). Let's talk about ZPU. To introduce a closed machine gun mount into the T-72B3, it was necessary to redo the tank’s commander’s cupola, that is, change the tank commander’s sight to a more modern one, because the anti-aircraft machine gun control complex was integrated with it. The alteration is not difficult, but apparently a dead end. The article contains a photograph of the turret roof of the T-72B3 tank, which criticizes the small number of roof protection elements; if you place a photograph of the T-90 next to it, there will be more of these boxes, but these are not remote control elements, but boxes in which the ZPU vertical control channel blocks are located. In the projection of the tank commander's turret it is necessary to place a lot of electronics, which no longer fit in the tank turret. And the ammunition capacity of the external large-caliber machine gun is very low - you shoot two hundred cartridges and get out and change the box, and this is even more dangerous than shooting from a non-remote one. The correct way is to install a non-turret machine gun mount on the tank turret with remote reloading of belts, which does not take up the volume of the commander's cupola, freeing up useful volume... Again we return to the option - on old tanks a turret from the T-90MS with the Relikt remote control system. The cost of upgrading hardware will definitely fit at 30 million; electronics will obviously be more expensive, but not significantly more expensive. The result will be a very combat-ready tank, but for some reason no one takes it...

    Great analysis. You should publish this article somewhere in a printed publication. Maybe the site will help. Not many people read the Internet. We must fight this insanity. As often happens, a project is a blunder, they cannot or do not want to complete it as it should. The wrong people are doing it. Others will have to pay for this, perhaps with their lives.

    I’m not an expert on the topic, but from a general engineering point of view, it’s also unclear why the T80 was ruined - it’s better than the 72 in all these super modifications. I saw Western material that no one in Russia could lobby for, where the 72 was compared with approximately a Lada, and the 80 with a racing car in terms of technology. It’s clear that 72 is more unpretentious, but it’s not all about chasing bearded men - but what if something more serious?

    It’s also interesting about biathlon. I watched the finale - two serious failures of equipment on 72 tanks, the ERA blocks flew off from the Armenian tank by themselves... you can also see how they are suffering with this machine gun. I'm not talking about safety precautions and injuries - a separate issue. It's all sad. There is something to work on.

The result will be disastrous. request
      Here the article is not at all about Western non-lobbied visions (besides, it is not clear what visions there could be in the absence of experience in everyday military operation), but about the fact that the most basic things have not been done.

              Yes
              B3 is a step back compared to B2.
              The Slingshot has only the 2A46M-4 gun, and not the M-5. But it is fixable.
              The Slingshot has the same sights (I don’t know about the ACS), but Relic, and not Contact-V, is in defense. Dvigl B-92, which means there is a gain and change in the transmission, and the suspension has been further developed (obviously which is no worse than on the T-72BA).
              There is a system of electronic protection against magnetic mines.
              There are bars (in the appendage to the Relic).
              There is a regular "Cape".
              There is a Curtain, but without spotlights.
              But ... the same cover on the Pine (in the photo it is moved and held on two bolts, XXI century, damn it). The same TKN-3 and open ZPU.

      I will, however, risk inserting a word into your dialogue: an accelerator for BOPS is unlikely, even if it is made about 3 cm in diameter - it’s just that the entire arrow is located in the detonation area of ​​the powder charge and it will not be easy for the auxiliary located in the tail section to survive. This means, after all, a caliber armor-piercing projectile, with a core (let it be 2 cm), followed by a pallet and explosives with a cumulative crater. Detonation - upon contact; you get the effect of hitting a nail with a hammer. I don’t know how it will work on armor, but it should work well on concrete. In terms of accuracy, you can’t win anything back here either. In general, if no one has done this, then it would be worth trying

        It will be difficult for you to understand. I already wrote this to you once, but you didn’t understand. I will repeat. There are more complex remote fuses that incorporate flight time. However, due to deviations in the initial velocity of the projectile, the time needs to be corrected. Therefore, in the AHEAD system (which you know nothing about due to a ban on Google), the fuse receives data as it leaves the barrel, having received corrections from the device for measuring the velocity of the projectile in the barrel bore. It's difficult and expensive. The second, simpler option is remote fuses that count the number of revolutions of the projectile in flight. No particularly precise electronics, cheap and cheerful. And with sufficient accuracy. This is how the AVM system from Bofos’ native Bae Systems works

    I think not everything is as scary and gloomy as they described and scared.
    We have experience in waging war and the T-72 in it - this is Chechnya and right now Syria.
    The main thing, I think, is that communication devices, reconnaissance, and so on have been improved, and armor can always be hung in any part in the workshops in 1-2 days if there is something to hang, of course. In peacetime, this armored body kit is rather unnecessary, but in conflicts it will immediately appear (IMHO).
    And in anticipation of the upcoming “Armata”, what’s the point of hanging outdated hardware for that kind of money, even if it’s very good. Maybe they will supply it abroad soon.
    In general, in cooperation with Ukraine, you can give them the T-64, T-80, and take the T-72 from them and work in this specialization and can serve common buyers - there would be a desire on both sides, and buyers will be found with appropriate advertising and government support.
    But having become closer to the EU, Ukraine can sell the T-72 at the cost of scrap metal, and this is very offensive and unpleasant when such a tank is purely for scrap. At least give it to Syria for spare parts so as not to irritate the West.

    Oooh, I enjoyed reading the article. I myself served in the communications company of Uncle Vasya’s troops and finally... Aqueduct! In my time, he was highly anticipated among the troops))) Of course, I’m weak in tanks, but one pressing question arose! What kind of conflicts were these tanks prepared for??? There will be no front, that's for sure! Local conflicts are possible, but there will be no global tank battles! Now the main weapon is information and crazy Islam, which the author correctly pointed out in the article about bearded men with seven in the windows of houses! They will fire projectiles into unprotected areas of vehicles...

    The article is very good, detailed! And like a tub of cold water on the back, exhibitions, shows they say we will give the Russian army all the best. And in the end, they put on stream a simplified version of modernization that is simply impossible. Why can’t the tank be fully stuffed, because everything has been developed. Why regret it for your own army? Oh, these head-assed ghouls, they can’t sit in them anyway! But it’s a good idea to put one of these smart guys in a tank and hit one of the “bald spots”, then others will definitely start moving and will not spare any money for the country and Russian tank crews!
    By the way, biathlon was also not encouraging due to a bunch of equipment failures

    I have always been surprised by one interesting fact - if this is modernization, then it implies the installation of the most advanced units and mechanisms. This is not a TAZ, it is a combat vehicle, the result of which is the destruction of the enemy. Moreover, the enemy is resisting with all available firepower.
    B3 is not a modernization, it is a VARIANT of the T-72.
    The fighting compartment resembles the interior of a VAZ 2107, where a Chinese navigator sits next to a 30-year-old design. Poor and clumsy. It’s the XNUMXst century, the information age, microcircuits and semiconductor devices, and here again are bolts and fittings.
    T-72B3 is a semblance of modernization. Well, why is there a damn cloud of various tank modifications in the army with equipment that is not interchangeable in field conditions? Launch a series of one, but really thoughtful and perfect.
    Although how could I forget, this does not mean cutting the dough... And let the 18-year-old “Vanyas” burn in steel coffins, give birth to more children, don’t mind. Ugh!

    Modernization always takes place during long production of both tanks and aircraft, and they are always slightly different.
    And they will soon put into production one vehicle, probably the T-90 and the Armata, but what to do with the rest? So they are trying to somehow improve it, but give us the money and at least hang the T-34 with all sorts of cacatronics and there will be happiness. As they say, “A shoemaker without boots,” that is, everyone is on the side - please, because there is profit, and for yourself the rest will do.
    Considering a bunch of other weapons of destruction and suppression, a tank is not the most important unit, especially in the city and mountains, and in the forests too, and no one fights in an open field anymore.
    Iraq doesn’t count, they bought everything there and suppressed it before the tanks arrived and Abrams ended up on the horse.

    This year marks 40 years since the T-1973 was put into service in 72. During this period, the vehicle should have been equipped not with a manually operated ROM and a bolt-on sight cover, but with an imaginary blaster and a vertical take-off and landing device, and with the function of launching anti-satellite missiles using the KUV (irony). It must be admitted that since it was put into service, the tank has never been COMPLEXLY modernized. Yes, they “finished” the defense (not radically), the fire control system, communications, etc.
    I would like to draw your attention to how the Germans are modernizing the Leopard-2 (Bundeswehr MBT, Russian T-72 MBT, so there is no need to push forward the relatively small T-90 here). 2A4 (the same age as the T-72B) and 2A7 are radically redesigned vehicles. Compare similar modernization of B and B3. The weapon has been thoroughly modernized. That's all.
    For a modern war, a new tank is needed; it is not possible to “match” the T-72 in terms of armor protection, maneuverability, armament, and ergonomics due to the lack of a serious modernization groundwork for the project. However, this is the problem with all Soviet tanks. So hope is in "Armata".
    And for the “massacre of Papuans” like Syria or Latin America, a deeply modernized T-55 will do.

    The modernization of the tank was carried out with one goal, how to get more money into their pockets. The General Staff thinks about their pockets, but not about the lives of the soldiers. I don’t even understand how a tanker in a pea coat can quickly get out of such a hatch in winter without getting caught on something. Another. crawling into the tank turret, the tankman in dirty shoes jumps on his seat. What if these lumps of dirt get somewhere and jam something? who thought of this?
    Of course they'll make me laugh. but excuse me, but I consider the comfort of the crew during work to be not unimportant things. If the crew, after a 100 km march across an intersection, has to engage in battle, what will happen? At the tank biathlon it was clearly visible how many tank crews had broken foreheads. If only their tank creators had hit their products, what would have happened?

      I remembered something about “pregnant cockroaches”, my first company commander, how he, however, obscenely “criticizing” us at TST (at that time it was called not fire, but tank-infantry training), within seconds he took out a machine-gun belt that had fallen into the MZ, which we, due to our awkwardness at that time, could not do...
      Yes, in order to work in a tank, you need training, there is nothing to do in a pea coat (a tank driver's overalls, without patch pockets) and you can't wear anything too thick either. request
      Well, dirt is more typical for UUS, during combat use they often don’t leave the tank, you can also get replacement shoes (galoshes) or stockings from the OZK!

    Good afternoon,
    Don’t scold me too much, maybe the topic is not the right one, or the place is not the right one, but I would like to ask a question that has been interesting to me for a long time, specifically about the T-72 tank.
    Why does the ammunition rack detonate when it hits the tank turret (there is plenty of video)??

      Ilya, the video on the internet is what it’s all about “will" look.
      No one will post unsuccessful shots. Do you agree?

      In principle, any tank can be destroyed, even the most sophisticated one.
      Regarding the explosions: NO ONE IS THE SAME. Everyone is unique and one of a kind.
      Most often, the "seven" does not penetrate the armor, the crew simply "shakes", you feel how the internal organs collide.
      Most often, when the T-72B is blown up, it continues to move (an amazing machine), smoke appears and you feel a very specific smell of the triggered PPO (you can’t compare it with anything and it’s very painful then).
      The crew is trying to get the car out of the line of fire ANYWHERE, so that everyone has the opportunity to get out, including the heroic (no sarcasm) mechanic.
      After that, everyone leaves the car, tries to be heroic, and wait for what will happen to her.
      - If it stops smoking, then they return to it and prepare for towing or... continue to “Work” (depending on the severity of the shell-shock and the recklessness of the crew).
      - If the assembly line pulled off the AZ (with the mandatory flight of the tower), then ... get baptized and climb into another platoon tank or go to bow to the infantry commander.
      MOSTLY, THESE ARE JOURNALISTS WHO FILM IT.
      They themselves later said that they needed a “zest” (ur.dy), otherwise the editor wouldn’t understand.
      Those. if there is a torn tank, this does not mean that the crew always dies.

      Why does detonation occur:
      - If the “jet” went inside, then you get injured from any crap flying inside, and not from the thinnest liquid metal. Dangerous pressure is created that can kill people, which is why the hatches are opened. If the penetration is partial, then you remain inside, but concussion is guaranteed, the fire extinguishes itself. If the PPO is dead, then heating from the fire and detonation are possible, and not always and not immediately, there is time (theoretically) to get out.
      - If the jet clearly hits the CHARGE located in the fighting compartment (not in the AZ), then instant fire occurs under extreme pressure, if it is thrown out through the open hatch with this pressure, then the turrets have a chance of life, but it is small (the mechanic does not) . The PPO will not have time to cope.
      - If a jet clearly hits a PROJECTILE in the same fighting compartment (not in the AZ), then there is an instant detonation, but this is only when it hits the HE... for some reason everyone forgets about this. PPO also does not have time to cope.

      Getting into the AZ itself is quite difficult.
      To do this, you need to turn the side screen with boxes into trash or break the road wheels. Only under these conditions is it possible to get to the AZ conveyor, what will happen in this case - I wrote above. And who will allow this to the bearded man?
      Those. you need several aimed shots from the "seven" at one point, which is not so simple. And here Tactics comes into its own. This is a separate conversation.

      Have you seen a lot of bombings in YouTube with “boxes” or FULLY closed sides?
      And in Syria, the first export T-72s (object 172A) are still “operating”, with simplified unclassified armor, a mechanical ballistic computer, an optical rangefinder, old (removed from service in the Russian Federation) shots and an R-123 radio station.

      I repeat once again: there are no tanks that cannot be blown up.
      The T-72B is quite durable and needs to be PREPARE for “Work”:
      General safety rules (I will not talk about tactics):
      - "Boxes" are equipped.
      - The solarium is drained from the external tanks.
      - B / c from the tower removed (except, of course, AZ).
      - PPO refueled and serviceable.
      “The hatches in the tower are open.”
      This is what I remembered vskidku.

      Ilya, and this is just my opinion, and nothing more. Ask others.

          detonation only provided that an open source of fire or a red-hot fragment (fragment) has reached the charges in the AZ or in non-mechanized stowage, since the charge consists of a container (metal) and a paper (flammable) sleeve packaging powder rods of tubes, sometimes an explosive type of combustion is observed or at the same time Several neighboring charges ignite, causing the tower to sometimes be torn down...

          Ilya, please re-read my post again...

          Once again, for a significant number of unsuccessful explosions there are several effective launches. THEY ARE THE ONE THAT GOES ON THE INTERNET.

          Please note again that these are OLD vehicles and are NOT PROTECTED against RPGs and ATGMs.
          By the way, in the first video: it looks like a hit in charge, located in the fighting compartment, and not in the AZ, which is not desirable (placement in a non-mechanized ammunition rack).

          Equipment needs to be PREPARE and EQUIPPED for “Work”.

      - Test driving at the tank track will be more difficult.

      Tankers of linear units perform all this with “excellent” and “good” qualities on a MASSIVE basis.

        I have another question that may be interesting to others.
        I haven’t personally used a thermal imager, does it project an image of the terrain and target into the sight’s eyepiece? If so, then why the display? Or only on the display? If so, then it seems more difficult to figure out whether the gun is pointed at 30-00 or 60-00 (roughly speaking).

                In aviation, all information during the operation of heat direction finders or thermal channels is displayed on the HUD (windshield indicator), on which the flight parameters, TP operation, strobes and target mark are displayed. The general picture is displayed on the display, but target tracking, capture, up to the issuance of the PR command ( launch is allowed) all the information is on the HUD, I think this is implemented in tank systems, because almost all the attention is focused on optical surveillance systems and not on electronic ones.

                        Wonderful story? Looking back to the last Age (In which we were born!, How fast does time fly?).???

                        So that's what I mean? Myasishchev was infinitely trusting! He always took on an idea with great enthusiasm, which was always taken away from him under various plausible pretexts.

                        Wait and see! At one time, Dementyev said about Vladimir Mikhailovich that “Myasishchev’s projects will be implemented when everyone forgets our graves...” Maybe it’s not time yet? And it seems to me that the MS-21 is not from the Myasishchev theme?

                        Remembered !!!

                        Pavel Osipovich at one time asked Vladimir Mikhailovich to give him for a while his luxurious assembly shop in which he assembled the M-17 to complete the T-4.
                        In exchange, Pavel Osipovich offered help “to quickly put the M-17 on the wing.” Mikhalych did not think for a long time, refused Osipovich, under the pretext that he would use the workshop and would not want to return it.... Competition!?

                        The drawing is futuristic. Such developments could not have happened. The idea of ​​a lot of Machs implies a huge space for fuel, where is it? The wing is narrow, the fuselage is limited?

                        Well, Lesh, we get an indicator of the tactical situation on the display, with target distribution, assignment of targets for attack, and display it on the sighting sight.

                        You won’t let me sleep, you’ll interest me, and then the person’s brain will “boil” from trying to understand the meaning of complex words...
                        Of course, it’s an interesting idea, but WHY does the gunner need such information? I mean general stop and tasks? If only for a specific defeat of a target... Here it is necessary that new opportunities appear at the COMPANY level, namely in terms of reconnaissance. It is necessary to constantly monitor the battlefield, both from the “sky” - a UAV, and from the “ground” - some kind of electronic radio-thermal imaging device, ABOUT HOW fellow .
                        That is, something like PRP.

                        And all this, in real time, can be combined and presented on the screens of the tactical situation to the commanders, and let him give target designations to the gunner...on his screen. Yes, the system is not the simplest, but it significantly increases the combat capabilities of not only the tank, but also entire units...

          If so, then it seems more difficult to figure out whether the gun is pointed at 30-00 or 60-00 (roughly speaking).

          It’s also impossible to make out this with a regular optical sight; for this there is a “separate gun position indicator”

            That's for sure, there is. And even with him, it happens that inexperienced soldiers ride along the return path from the ceasefire line with a cannon looking at the local control point. Especially at night.
            Looking through the scope, you see the terrain, so to speak, in front of the gun. The head and eyes are directed along the axis of the gun.
            And here (perhaps, I don’t know for sure, that’s why I’m asking) you need to turn your head to the left 90 degrees. Maybe, of course, this is nothing more than a matter of habit?

    If you look at it, any tank from the T-64, T-72, T80 series can be brought to, if not completely modern (due to the basic layout), then to a more than acceptable level.
    But given this modernization, I remember the words from the cartoon “Prostokvashino” - “we have money, but we have no brains.”
    What’s most striking about the B3 is not even the placement of the remote control (it can be delivered if it’s too hot) or the lack of ROM for the commander, which, although it costs money, was implemented back in the T-80. And the installation of the Pine sight and the optics cover are bolted.
    This is where it was necessary to think in order to replace the additional sight with a modern main one, and even install it in such a way that it is simply impossible to use it in real databases and even while moving. And the bolted cover is simply beyond comment.
    To summarize, we can come to the conclusion that modernization is essentially mediocre. And its only real advantage is the installation of a modernized gun and automatic loader - although before that they were quite normal.
    The rest of the money, incl. and spent on electronics are drained down the drain.
    Another point that is striking is the slipping information that the tanks for modernization come from existing units, i.e. they were in service, and some saw actual combat. What does this mean?
    This suggests that overhauling a vehicle that fought is definitely more expensive than a vehicle that was mothballed at a storage base. It's no secret that at one time tanks came there directly from factories. If we take into account the last fact, what about a 30 million overhaul? rub. you can speak? (20 million for equipment).
    Yes, not all bases met the storage conditions, but out of all the mass in storage, it really wasn’t possible to find those few hundred for modernization. After all, by 2015, this particular B3 model will be the main one in the active forces, except for the T-90. And in the event of a conflict, it is they who will have to take the blow until the reinforcement arrives in the required quantity.

    Everyone was haunted by the question that the article immediately called into question...
    Quote from part 1 of the article:
    On the UVZ website it is still written in the section “cannon of the modernized T-72”: 2A46M or 2A46M-5. Let's hope that the T-72B3 will continue to be equipped with at least 2A46M-5.

    Unfortunately... not all T-72B3 currently supplied to the troops have 2A-46M-5...
    I won’t say in what parts. There's no point in this.

Their serial production has begun, the first batch this year was accepted by representatives of the Ministry of Defense and sent to arsenals for the formation of regulatory reserves.

      By the time the main tank of the Armata family is put into service, both regulatory reserves of ammunition will be created and the current need for combat training will be provided, Viktor Murakhovsky, editor-in-chief of the Arsenal of the Fatherland magazine, said at the Power of Russia forum.

      Production of 2A82 guns is in full swing at Plant No. 9 in Yekaterinburg. There is information that models of the Armata tank were recently demonstrated to President Vladimir Putin in Kubinka.

      Deputy Minister of Defense General of the Army Dmitry Bulgakov said: “The factories are completing the next stage of manufacturing armored weapons and equipment on instructions from the Ministry of Defense and have already completed the production of three prototypes. All cars have now entered intermediate tests,” the newspaper “Vzglyad” reports.......
