Two Russian T-72 modernization projects will be proposed by the Indian Defense Ministry at DEFEXPO-2014

Two major combat modernization projects tanks T-72 will be offered to the Ministry of Defense of India at the DEFEXPO-2014 exhibition. These options have been developed by Uralvagonzavod Corporation and, if implemented, will bring the most massive T-72 tank of today to the level of the best modern world models.

As the representative of UVZ explained to the ARMS-TASS correspondent, the T-72 modernization projects are particularly relevant in the light of recent military conflicts, where military operations take place mainly in urban areas.

“We are offering India two T-72 retrofit projects. The first project involves equipping the T-72 with a set of defenses to ensure the survival of the tank and crew in combat operations in urban areas where anti-tank weapons, including radio-controlled mine devices, are widely used.” - said the source.

The second project provides for equipping the modernized T-72 tank with the Arena-E active defense complex (KAZ), which protects the tank in a circular zone 360 degrees from anti-tank weapons - RPG grenades, artillery cumulative projectiles and anti-tank guided missiles, including those launched during the flight above the tank.

A new KAZ configuration will be presented at DEFEXPO-2014, which allows placing the Arena-E complex on almost any machine. It differs from the KAZ of the previous configuration in that the airborne radar is separated into several blocks and placed in such a way that it does not prevent the tank from performing other combat missions. KAZ "Arena-E" in the new configuration can be installed on the tanks T-72, T-72B, T-90 and on other models of armored vehicles.

The DEFEXPO-2014 Land and Naval Arms Exhibition will be held in the Indian capital from 6 to 9 February. More than 50 enterprises of the Russian defense complex will take part in its work. Some Russian exhibits are specifically focused on the Indian market and will be shown in New Delhi for the first time.

Let's break in technology on Indian machines and at their expense. Best practices can be applied on your next generation technique. The main thing is not to delay .... with your equipment!

The Indians are now pinning their hopes on Arjun and the T-90 extra deliveries. They will go for modernization if Arjun does not live up to expectations.

[GDP]

No matter how good Arjun is, but this is also a question, India still can’t get anywhere from the significant mass of T72, at least in the near future, besides upgrading the T72 will still cost less than buying new tanks ...
And the tanks 72 not even modernized proved to be quite effective force in the same Syria

modernized t72 taking into account the Syrian experience - these are completely different machines - much more tenacious, more protected and universal ...

Effective force against whom? Guys with Kalash and slippers? This is not an indicator for the strength of any tank.

Effective force against whom? Guys with Kalash and slippers? This is not an indicator for the strength of any tank

Guys with Kalash and slippers have quite effective and modern anti-tank weapons. For example ATGM Kornet and Konukrs - capable of hitting tanks outside the range of their guns, while remaining almost unnoticed. ATGM "vampire" and "mestizo" - capable of penetrating the most powerful main and dynamic tank defenses, radio-controlled explosive devices and much more ..

In the military conflicts in Lebanon in 2006 and the Gaza Strip in 2010, ATGM "competition" destroyed a large number of Israeli tanks "Merkava" and other armored vehicles equipped with improved means of active and passive protection against ATGMs. And the Israeli army cannot be called technically weak.

So our T72 have undergone and continue to undergo very serious and large-scale tests there, and at the same time for more than two years they continue to remain the main striking force of the ATS ...

It is they with the appearance of only men with Kalash. If you look, then all at least two courses of special training have passed. One in the Taliban from the experience of the Afghan Mujahideen, the second to rot in the Middle East under the guidance of instructors from the SAS and the CIA. So I would not give so low an assessment of these bearded peasants with Kalash and other ammunition.

Hi bunch, I’m starting to make more and more convinced that the level of some readers has fallen. Now there are a lot of super geniuses who spit on everything they’ve done before, now they’re trying to do it with might and main, As if spitters and the like didn’t try, I have a very good opinion about our scientists and designers and I wish them success in all deeds and accomplishments, I am more and more worried that readers proudly calling themselves Democrats or Liberals begin to appear on the site, although if you look at they share the same branch, but we yell for everyone, OTHER, Ours offered not one but two whole options for modernization low bow from those who really love their country, 2 Many simply did not pay attention to one detail of the TTX T-72 will not be inferior to all modern cars, GOOD FELLOWS, Here the opinion of the machine mussed on yesterday, Similarly, those figures who yelled into battle incomplete cars in the first Chechen company, Or the memory completely disappeared, And I remember the tears of the designers of the equipment when they inspected these e cars, And the tears flowed for a completely different reason, because in each car our soldiers died and the designers were not to blame here, The first tests showed who was to blame, Such an excursion into the recent past, there are such geniuses of armored vehicles that I’m just uncomfortable asking them at least sometimes look at the chronicle of hostilities in Syria there is nothing to see how the combat vehicle is used and what it is, Then one expressed the opinion that all the money will be quickly sawed by our designers and scientists are famously true, This person has a direct road to the democrats there really knows how to save that money don’t worry , I am grateful to those who really make real attempts to really modernize and it’s easier to create really new industries, Gentlemen, and please write one event that was held just recently in January, I mean the democratic gathering of liberal experts of economists, the Gaidar Forum, They told me all week how well but nothing could not pick up a Russian word t of the development of the country's economy over the past year, Our Prime Minister also noted there, Damn the Russian language is so rich that even one word can cast a big shadow on this noble meeting of leading experts in its field, Mr. Primakov picked up one neutral word over there as everyone was offended by it, And what else to call this economic growth, Found a foreign word that you can stick to everything anyway, they don’t understand who doesn’t get it and closed the Forum, And then all the countries all over the country suddenly announced that there is a crisis over the hill, well, such things, please explain to the Lord why does the crisis affect some and others do not have the same INDIA develop and confident growth do not nod to anyone and do not complain, What kind of power are we coughing somewhere we almost have a catastrophe, Answer yourself and don’t on others not involved to blame all the dirt, With respect to all who participate on that page, although there are opinions with which I do not agree, but how many people have so many opinions need to be considered

The T-72 is an average armored tank and we don’t need it, the future is heavy for the heavy type of Abrams, it’s more comfortable in the city and the tankers will not die in packs if hit. A T-72 tank for cannon fodder, and he had to take the quantity and not quality. Now the concept is changing in the direction of quality, therefore, they are making armatures, and let the Papuans use the T-72.

At Abrams, the armor is mainly in the frontal part, on the sides is weak, it was originally designed for a large war and tank clashes head-on. therefore, in the city when they shoot from all sides, the abrams feels very uncomfortable.

In the first Chechen one, our tanks withstood eight hits, with breaking through the armor but remained in service, or returned after repair, one of eighty-12 hits received, changed 4 crews, and after the damage to the gun worked as a tractor.

No matter how good Arjun is,

But it will not be good! With a mass of 67 tons and a price of 370 million rupees ($ 6,27 million) per unit, this long-awaited brainchild cannot be deployed where there is a need for it. The tank is too heavy to be deployed along the border with Pakistan. He is not able to effectively pass through a terrain filled with natural and / or artificial obstacles or regions crossed by rivers and canals. This excludes most places in Rajasthan, Punjab and the highlands of the J&K sector.
And all the laudatory remarks addressed to him are an advance.

[olegff68]

And I am tempted to quote Carloson: "But what about me?!?! - I'm a kid better than a dog !!!"

[chunga-changa]

Let's start with the fact that we now have capitalism. The goal of capitalism is to make a profit. We have a law according to which the profit from the supply of weapons to the Russian Armed Forces is not more, in my opinion, 29%. When delivering abroad, there are no restrictions, for how much you agree as much and there will be at least 300%. If a plant produces a maximum of, say, 100 products per year, then it is more profitable to sell them all abroad, the profit is higher. The higher the profit, the greater the bonus for the year. Therefore, you work for the defense of your homeland - you drive a Korean, you also work for foreigners, you drive a Lexus. When it comes to big money, patriotism only suffers in TV interviews. The picture is naturally not complete, so in a first approximation, there are also kickbacks, and connections, and the withdrawal of money, and the wife's business, a lot of things. Yeltsman's daughter won Austrian citizenship "for her great contribution to the development of the Austrian automobile industry", everyone remembers the epic with the "introduction" of the Stayer diesel engine at GAZ, such are the merits.

[jjj]

The plant itself cannot sell anything. Even someone who has permission for external military-technical cooperation. Contracts only through Rosoboronexport. Weapons are politics

[chunga-changa]

This is what you think. You would clarify, read the Internet before writing. In order not to load, briefly:
"Rosoboronexport accounts for over 80 percent of the export of Russian-made military products." More than 80% is not 100%.
"Open Joint Stock Company Rosoboronexport, part of the Rostec Corporation, is the only state intermediary in Russia."
In general, this is a "state" commercial intermediary sitting on intermediary activities, under the patronage of the president. Pays dividends to "investors" at the end of the year, all that. (Affiliate \\\ 15. Suleimanov Ruslan Vasilievich, Russian Federation, The person belongs to the group of persons to which OJSC Rosoboronexport belongs 19.09.2012/XNUMX/XNUMX. \\\ How to understand this I still do not understand)). Again, capitalism is marching in full growth with all the attendant nuances - kickbacks, connections, wife's business. A commercial intermediary can pinch off his share "for services", but it is unlikely to redistribute the profits of producers, even with such a roof.

The new development of OJSC “Peleng” - the panoramic sight of the commander, tested jointly with OJSC “Kurganmashzavod” and OJSC “SKBM” at landfills in the UAE and Russia, is intended for installation on both infantry fighting vehicles and tanks. With the integration of a panoramic sight, the distribution of responsibilities for finding and destroying targets between the commander and the gunner goes to a new level. The term “hunter-shooter” most accurately reflects the essence of such an interaction. The commander is busy searching for targets and deciding on destruction, while the gunner solves the problem of effectively hitting the target.

When I served - a panoramic thermal imager (IR and UV range), optics with electronic zoom and automatic target tracking and the coupling of a ballistic rectifier (according to an airplane, during an exercise in my presence, a UAV target was shot down with a shell), a couple of systems that I cannot describe in detail (allowed " look over the hill ") and the output of all this on the LCD display parallel to the eyepiece + the terminal for access to the UAV, this is 15 years ago, today I don’t know, I have almost nothing to do with tanks at the training camp.

There were no personal UAVs, there was a channel for access to information with UAVs assisting with the unit (usually under the control of the Air Force) and through it it was possible to send a request to the operator (by pressing buttons) to move and show a specific area or target or to highlight with a laser. The communication channel is limited two-way. Today, as far as I know, there is the option of giving the tank a personal mini-UAV, but this is rarely used. On a commander’s tank, it’s expensive.

Straight not in the eyebrow but in the eye ...

The old one just found an article-story about shooting with an extra barrel, I’ll send it to the site moderation the other day. He's a little, ahem ... longish.
I will make a quote from it:

... The insert barrel 14,5X114mm is inserted into the gun and fixed, GRAU index: 2X15, 2X30 or 2X35. These "trunks" using a simulator of a standard charge pallet are fixed in the charging chamber and breech of the 2A46M tank gun. The locking barrel is locked by a shutter wedge. The ballistic of the 14,5mm BZT bullet is the same up to 1400m as the 125mm BKS, and the barrel bore wear is zero, and practice skills are almost close to live firing.
We often shot with such a macar ... we just lived on the tank director with this, damn ... supplemental barrel.
Brief features:
2X15 - death to the flies. The bushings of the obturation of the revolving shop burned through and threatened the crew with gas pollution from the gas and with burns to the face of the tank commander.
2X30 - when fired, a cartridge from a six-shot revolving drum was sent to the chamber, after which a shot occurred, which improved the safety of shooting for the crew. Feature: in the production of the "seventh shot" (sleeve), the weapon jammed (rammer in the drum) and had to remove and disassemble almost the entire built-in gun to extract the sleeve.
2X35 - the peak of evolution, heh. A longitudinally sliding shutter and a vertical magazine saved our Nature from many matyuks and made life easier for tankmen ...

Hi , I do not agree with you, you need to move on towards Armata for example. Mig-21 was also a cool airplane, accent on the word WAS, and no modernization will put him on a par with the Su-35 or F-22.

Hi

Hi, SAM.

Until I see Armata in the troops, it is in the LINEAR troops, and not in the factory or experimental army operation,
I will firmly state that:
- T-90 must continue to produce;
- T-80 to send this crime to a scrap;
- T-72 needs to be NORMALLY modernized, and not to throw army handouts in the T-72Б3 water.

I am a simple practitioner. For me, Armata is still a fairy tale of designers (and I want it to come true).

1. Armata will still have an inevitable bouquet of childhood diseases that will need to be treated (remember the birth of T-64).
But the country's defenses should not suffer from this PRESENT.

2. Armata for 1-3 of the year does not fill the staff of all divisions and brigades. While it will be saturated in the troops, the tanks of the previous generation should be modernized in the army and ready for modern combat.

3. With the withdrawal of all T-72 and T-80 from the troops (upon receipt of Armata), the machines must get up to the CBRT and BHVT in a modernized state for the mobile reserve.

Remember our recent talk about biathlon, whom did you want to put against T-72B? And why do you keep these old cars in good condition? That's it ...

I am pleased to continue the conversation, but only constructive. In the next hour and a half, unfortunately, I will be at the computer in fits and starts.

Alex.

Yes, but they are all in the warehouses of the reserve (as they say on a rainy day), but in fact, even the reservists did not have them.
Since there is no, as you say, Almaty, it’s more reasonable not to squander money on upgrading the T-72, because anyway it doesn’t even bring this tank into the lead, but start producing these cars (T-90MC) for the same money , in replacement of the combat T-72:

[Aleks tv]

Quote: And Us Rat

to begin production of these machines (T-90MC) for example with the same money, in exchange for the combatant T-72:

T-90MS is just beautiful ... moreover, real and ready for serial production. We don’t even dream about this car ...

I absolutely agree that
-T-90MS need to be released right now to replace the previous T-90 models on the conveyor.
-Plus carry out the modernization of the T-72 and T-80 fleet.
-And also - to design and test Armata.

The release of new products and the modernization of the old always go in parallel, the only way to achieve the existence of a more or less significant fleet of modern combat vehicles.
In another way.

And we have:
- T-90MS rides through exhibitions.
- T-90 production of new cars discontinued.
- T-80 is being watched with weapons.
- T-72 is brought to the level of T-72Б3 ...
and ... dream of Armata.

In vain, perhaps. The car is much more promising than beating out UKBTM.

Worth it. The T-72 is not needed, for example, and was never needed with the T-64 and T-80.

The tankman will not answer that.
The T-72 is a "special period" tank, in other words, a mobilization tank. This is how it was created (and therefore simplified in terms of the MSA).
Minus from me, catch.
To get into an argument I see no reason. I do not digest trolling.

Even as needed, the T-64 was incomplete - it burned from the first hit, when ours grabbed them in the 67th hundreds, even tried to put it into operation, the commander-in-chief of armored vehicles (the same Tal is the father of the Merkava) quarreled with the authorities about this - said: "My soldiers are dearer to me than these coffins." And the T-80 appeared much later, so the T-72 filled that gap.

So we take a piece of long tarpaulin and sculpt a pipe from it.
We attach one end to one of the radiator grilles (it is rectangular, so there is something to think of)
We sew the other end from the inside, making a semi-soft edge and ...
Все.
- In the stowed position and while driving, we push it into a wide-open ejection hatch of pallets and fix it inside the tower.
- In the pre-battle, we just shove it into the “forever” open hatch of the commander.
In the tank - Africa, at -30 they made a march with open hatches (Toko’s scissors still freeze slightly.
But then the crew’s faces are, ahem ... a little bit “litolny”.


Spatsitelno searched in the internet - no pictures. It will be necessary to scan your black and white.
Siberia and the Far East probably still travels with them. You won't last long without "guts" in the cold ... The T-72 is a harsh machine.
The appearance is abaldened (when the pipe is inflated between the transmission and the turret), the civilian natives are a little scared at the sight of such an incomprehensible "secret" tank ...

No, it’s more likely to verify how true the rumors are that half of the technical solutions in it are laced with MK4. Curiosity

Tanks that t-72, that t-90, compact. Do not turn around to the tanker inside the car. It would be spacious, it would also be a plus to the effectiveness of the crew. IMHO

Yes, the first impression is cramped.
But in the future you understand that the equipment is located quite reasonably and everything at hand.
Compactness is not a critical minus.

[Sinbad]

In the early 80s, the mechanical water served. at seventy-two. It is quite spacious and comfortable, you get to everything without looking, only your feet freeze in winter.

point 6 — let me choose mods for tanks — for tankers, not generals., weapons — shooters for planes for pilots, and let the MO give birth to money, (if we reduce our generals, then a couple of regiments there, a couple of squadrons here and maybe a small submarine is enough, and can be atomic 0

Aleksey, I’m welcome! I am 100% solidarity. It seems that GBTU MO is headed by a flyer or artilleryman who never understands what a modern tank is and what it is needed for. It takes the whole brethren of command for a couple of months to the commander of the platoon commander- send the battalion, and for one, and the factory. Maybe then they will start to think and do in the right direction.

Now GABTU is headed by Shevchenko, he also set up a stool. Tanker techie with two academies. Well techie thinks more about maintainability GS should think more about combat capabilities.

Yeah ... Andrew.
And Shevchenko, just a year ago, tankers of the 138th brigade popularly explained all the shortcomings of the T-72B3 and why it is "better" than the T-80BV ...
So it's been a long time ... ahem, in the know.
Let's see what he is "getting" in the future (he calculates the TTZ for the General Staff). So far, everything is unchanged, only for biathlon I came up with the T-72B3M, and the troops are using the same equipment, but without the 2A-46M-5. The old cannons are being installed.

[Andrew 447]

The guns put the old ones. I hope not D-81? Yes it's sad. The BTVs are being harassed, as under Khrushchev. Is there really no tank commanders (former) left in the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense who would understand and improve the strategy of using tank troops. At this rate, after 5 years, only TB will remain in the SMBR and the storage base. And then with enormous torments and costs we will recreate tank formations.

[Arh]

Tanks, planes, ships, what other weapons are very healthy for long-term prospective cooperation! ! !

[sergant89]

There are no words, only mats, but where is it all on our native Russian tanks? And for us, as usual, bed nets and sandbags, thanks to my native country.

[yehat]

until they are directly interested in combat readiness, they will supply equipment whatever.
And they will order cheaper, our soldiers will forgive everything, but these are not foreigners who need to survive in battle and not be defeated by rain, heat and frost.

[samoletil18]

And it would be nice to organize an audit of the defense industry (total) in terms of financial and technological discipline. And according to the results: fines, arrests, seizures of enterprises in favor of the state. Only trouble, they will appoint managers with cognate rather than mental potential (I am silent about honesty).

[colonel manuch]

The Indians will take it, break it in, everything will be frayed. And if not, you can put on your own and even change the Indians, we live under capitalism. Why do we need convenience, why do we need a new cannon, etc.? Although it’s already pleasing that they are starting to cooperate again with the production and choose the best. It's a shame both for the Indians and for us there was no new tank! True, they invented a tank tank biathlon, even though the crews began to train.

[max73]

Dear, sorry, my post will be a little off topic. it's just that there is no other suitable topic today, but here it is about tanks ... last year I enjoyed watching tank biathlon at the same T-72s, and I follow with interest the news about the future championship. everything is great, but ... today, by the nature of my work, I was looking through government purchases .. I saw a notice- "To complete a full range of work on the preparation of the facility:" Preparing the training ground for the 2nd Motorized Rifle Division and 4 TD for the World Tank Biathlon Championship "(Narofominsky District, Moscow Region) ( Object code 59/823) "the amount is more than a billion .... yes, then such a biathlon is needed for a fig, and even a supplier has no alternative chosen? with all due respect to the Minister of Defense - this is not good ... for those who do not believe - the notification number is 31400859429

[sergeschern]

Gigantomania and the eternal habit of blowing dust in the eyes - this is not to be taken away from our superiors!

[Conepatus]

Recently, I notice that India takes from Russia only that which it cannot take (buy) from others.
These are supersonic anti-ship missiles and nuclear submarines for rent. As for conventional weapons, the Indians have no logic. Often, one weapon system is duplicated by another one, identical in purpose, but incompatible in maintenance. So I would not be surprised if the Indians choose instead of modernization from the manufacturer / developer, someone else's left modernization, Israeli, or Polish.
The minds of the Indians do not understand

[Watchman]

Saakashvili chose Israeli modernization and we all know how the T-72SIM proved to be in Ossetia. So UVZ has a good chance to get a contract.

In fact, in the tank forces it all depends on the crew’s training. If the crew is professionally prepared, then the T-34 is not a hindrance to complete the task
