Why is the "Armata" no twin machine gun?

Unlike most tanks world, with 2, or even 3 machine guns, the Russian T-14 is armed with only one 7,62 mm machine gun mounted on the roof of the tower. Lev Romanov in his article for Messenger of Mordovia trying to figure out whether this is a serious shortcoming.

“When the first photos of the T-14 tank with a declassified view of the turret appeared on the Web, many were surprised that, apart from being mounted on the roof of the turret, there was no twin machine gun next to the cannon. The refusal to deploy auxiliary armaments here is quite understandable. The fact is that the embrasure located next to the instrument is a very weakened zone. According to the experience of numerous wars and conflicts, this leads to the defeat of the tank, ”the expert writes.

He notes that non-classical tanks being created are usually not equipped with a coaxial machine gun. For example, he cites a photo of an American TTV tank pilot and Jordan-South African TARIQ Falcon 1.

Ttv

TARIQ Falcon 1

According to Romanov, the T-14 machine-gun unit "is in the most advantageous place, it allows shelling of targets practically in the radius of 360 degrees, moreover, the commander and gunner-operator can switch the work of the machine gun to themselves."

"For those who believe that the 7,62 mm machine gun is not effective enough for some purposes, it is worth mentioning that the T-14, like its older brothers T-90 of various modifications, will necessarily be equipped with a highly efficient system for remotely detonating a projectile on a trajectory," writes the author.

In addition, Romanov notes, at the current exhibition of weapons in Abu Dhabi, the T-90CM was demonstrated with a new remote-controlled machine gun installation of the 12,7 mm caliber. And this installation, according to the expert, in the near future may well appear on the Armata tank.

I think they will put a more powerful machine gun

[Kars]

Why? Because they drove)))
it will be good if they put 20 - 45 mm quick shooter, but UVZ does not pull something on the creative.

[Muadipus]

They’ll put it again. What was shown at the parade is essentially a blank. on the tower are clearly visible on the edges of the niche in which can fit both a grenade launcher and a 30mm cannon and machine gun. The main thing is that they created the base machine and the combat modules can be anything. This tank has a huge reserve for upgrades

Darling, and he needs to be sent with the crew of test testers of Morozov Design Bureau, who will do it

[just exp]

1 steel is not entirely Soviet, its detsl processed at KhTZ
2 yes, there is no photo of the broken armor for the DZ Knife, because the tank fails after it is activated, this is one of the reasons why your military does not order more DZ for tanks.

"Contact" was developed in 1982 and began to enter service in 1984. It was stated that the protection is capable of reducing the effect of cumulative ammunition by 50-80%. But, unlike the newer built-in reactive armor, it does not work against armor-piercing sub-caliber shells, which are abundant in the ammunition of militia tanks. In addition, Contact is defenseless against tandem ammunition. And these types of weapons are widely used in the Donbass. There is an opinion that the Ukrainian military would be happy to install something more modern, but the use of Bulat tanks with the Knife reactive armor in an armed conflict has demonstrated that this DZ is redundant in its characteristics. It is so redundant that, when triggered, it disables not only the incoming ammunition, but the tank itself. Allegedly, this can be seen from the photographs of the destroyed Bulats posted on the Internet.



Destroyed BM "Bulat". The pictures show damaged fenders and tracks

Most of the tanks had their fenders broken and the caterpillar belts themselves damaged, just as they were hit by the “Knife” that had been triggered. Disappointed with the development of the Ukrainian defense industry, the Ukrainian military is forced to once again recall the Soviet legacy.

By the way, why is Oplot so supertank that the military cannot use it, that only testers can cope with it?

[Kars]

Quote: just explo

1 steel is not entirely Soviet, its detsl processed at KhTZ

and by chance not a Krmator metal plant? And what do you dislike in steel? If the torn hulls, then the tank, in principle, is not designed to withstand internal explosions.

This is not true, and your photo by the way does not prove anything.

And by the way, what will suit you more than broken armor with splinters and jets entering the BO, or a damaged fenders?

I wonder what kind of marches can be discussed in a local war in small countries. A march throw with additional tanks and barrels is at 1000 km or more. In other cases, there are enough internal fuel tanks, especially since tankers are not suckers and they also want to live and it is not a charter, but a desire to live longer.

The advantage of the coaxial machine gun is its constant readiness for use by the gunner. He can choose how to hit the identified target - with a gun or machine gun. The T-14 declared the ability to control a machine gun on the tower as a commander or gunner. And if the commander hits the target from the flank of the machine gun and at the same time the gunner discovers a tank-dangerous target from the front

you should take a ruler and compare the diameters (photos of top views are available) machine gun trunks on the roof of the tower and the gun, and then you can safely continueThat: T-14 is armed with only one 76-mm gun mounted in front of the tower.
Sane guys understand that the module on the roof of the tower is installed Cord or similar 12,7 mm for working on helicopters and upper floors in the city. Regarding the pointing angles in the lower sector of the aiming, the post of the weather station sensors covers a sector of no more than 6 °, the KAZ emitter and the radio antenna are another 2 °. Their positions are fixed, therefore there are two methods - missed shots or reposition of the tower, as described below PRACTICIAN Ivanov I.I. (+).

What about afghanit?
- All advanced armies have been active in defense for a relatively long time. The question is efficiency - but the parameters are not disclosed.
A new gun 125?
- Declared brilliant parameters for guns of this or similar caliber. This is a step or two forward, but not a breakthrough.
Not to mention the electronics of the tank.
“We know little about electronics.” This was traditionally a weak spot in the Soviet-Russian military industry. And if in terms of efficiency they approached foreign samples, then in terms of mass and size indicators they lost.
A breakthrough idea is that an anti-gravity suspension, instead of a railgun gun, or a plasma blaster?
“You forgot about another point: composite armor.” There can really be a breakthrough. But - hhhhhhh!

The main breakthrough is modularity and a high margin for modernization. Y. Kedmi, an Israeli analyst of Soviet descent, spoke highly of Armata, not failing to note that some of the solutions have already been applied in Merkava of the latest modifications.

You fought for the Bulwark. In any case, it makes no sense to compare these combat vehicles because Oplot is an evolutionary machine - a continuation of the development of the "classic" Soviet school of tank building.

Thus (I hope) it will be possible to "sharpen" a combat vehicle for specific tasks right in the troops.

Hello Kars! On the T-95 (object "195") there was a 30 mm automatic cannon 2A42 (as on the BMP-2 or BMPT). It was mounted in the combat module along with the main weapon. At the same time, the automatic cannon had its own drives, both vertically and partly horizontally. She could not turn 180 degrees, but in a certain sector she could work independently, a 30 mm rapid-fire cannon is an alternative to the excessive consumption of the main ammunition. Those targets for which it was not worth spending an expensive heavy shot (the "main caliber" of the T-95, the 152 mm 2A83 gun) could be hit from an automatic cannon. In the photo T-95 (clickable), 30 mm cannon is seen from the side-top on the turret. I do not want to comment on "Armata" already.

[Kars]

Quote: Per se.

I do not want to comment on "Armata" already.

and what to do - troubles

Gur Khan: A tank with an advanced control system, with powerful protection for the crew in the capsule, as well as with a 152mm cannon, the projectile of which "burns through a meter of steel", we could have been producing serially since 2010. The name of this tank is T-95. Someone will explain to me why the finished car was stabbed to death, but billions were spent on creating the same, but worse. Indeed, in the T-14 it is not easy to stick a 152mm cannon, no matter what someone says. To do this, you need to strengthen the shoulder strap, which means to change the booted sheet. And it remains to be seen whether the hull height will be enough for an AZ with longer ammunition. Thus, the rearmament of the T-14 results in the creation of a virtually new tank again. And the question is, why didn't they do it right away? Well, fuck it was a garden to fence - to waste time and money ???

At the same time, somehow unexpectedly the conversation started about changing the concept of using tanks in general. Do you catch the thought? But then a little unexpected thing happened - on November 13, 2009, at the 31st arsenal of the Navy in Ulyanovsk, there was a fire in one of the shops where ammunition was being disposed of. People died. As President Dmitry Medvedev said at the time, the explosions in Ulyanovsk were the result of the negligence of those responsible for the disposal of ammunition. Several major generals flew from their posts at once, including Khalitov, who, among other things, did not remain unemployed for a long time - almost instantly moved to the chair of Uralvagonzavod's deputy general director for special equipment. Already in December, Prime Minister Putin arrives at UVZ in Nizhny Tagil, where he is reported (with a presentation) that almost all of our armored vehicles are complete, and even promising developments barely reach the level of Western BTT. As a result of this meeting, the approval of a new concept for the development of BTT, entirely written by "Uralvagonzavod" for themselves. The closure of a number of programs followed immediately, including the T-95 tank. In May 2010, i.e. exactly 5 years ago, the GABTU summed up the results of the "competition" of proposals for new platforms. It is not at all surprising that the competition was won by the UKBTM. After that, a contract is signed with him to carry out the ROC under the code "Armata" ... And now we are watching the film "The Pentagon Wars" and looking for parallels ...

Serial production of new Russian tanks T-14 "Armata" or T-99 "Priority" will unfold in 2015 and until 2020
The Armed Forces of the Russian Federation will receive 2,3 thousand of these machines.

The Russian Ministry of Defense actually refused to purchase T-90 tanks, and pending completion of work on the new combat vehicle of the Uralvagonzavod (the new Russian tank “Almaty”), the military department intends to support the combat effectiveness of the armored forces by deeply modernizing the “best tank of the second half of the 72th century” T- XNUMX. Russian tankers are invited to wait for another three years to enter the armament of the newest tank of the XNUMXst century.


So far, the Russian Ministry of Defense has signed a contract with Uralvagonzavod for the modernization of 170 T-72 main battle tanks worth over six billion rubles.

[fedor13]

The tank is just "space". I wouldn't be surprised if it has several surface-to-air missiles.

Or maybe they will put something and the other on "Armata". The main thing is a tank, but you can think of anything. The head of the designers is tricky.

This slot is known, attention has already been paid to it.
It is higher than the trunk horizontally.
- it is possible to assume that the fluff and spark are not on the same line, but on parallel lines, but then the vertical of the slot should be larger (down) ...
- it is possible to assume that the trunks are not paired at all, but synchronized, but in this case, imagine where the axis should be for mounting the cradle under the pair ... right at the embrasure.

All these "subtleties" need to be solved by the results of running. I think the designers will be able to identify the flaws without us. And those that do not reveal immediately, let the tankers prompt.

The layout of the tower is unsuccessful. Right in front of the machine gun are two protruding elements that limit the firing sector. Plus an antenna at the back of the tower. In total, there is no way to shoot 360 degrees.

[PRACTICIAN]

I would like to draw your attention to some things that no one paid attention to: 1 The size of the Armata's turret is actually smaller, and what everyone sees is protective body kits, something like an outer hull. Who does not understand, take a look at the leopard 1 tower of late modifications, on it from the front and from above you can see how a semblance of the outer case is mounted. 2 It has been said several times that the design of the tank is modular, which means that you can attach to it whatever your heart desires or the combat mission requires. 3 On the left side of the Armata tower there is a "niche", perhaps there are modules with a 30 mm cannon, a bullet or an AG., Similar to some variants of the Czech T-72.

[flSergius]

The size of the tower at Armata is actually smaller, but the fact that everyone sees this is a protective body kit,

The armor seemed to be modular. So the Israelis are also modular. If you google pictures of "merkava", the entire tower outside is filled with casing sheets with cutouts for expanding the metal under the hot sun. And our experts from the opposition screamed "cardboard-plywood" from the opposition.

[bolat19640303]

The advantage of a coaxial machine gun is its constant readiness for use by the gunner. He can choose how to hit the identified target - a cannon or a machine gun. The T-14 declared the ability to control the machine gun on the turret by both the commander and the gunner. And if the commander hits the target from the flank with a machine gun and at the same time the gunner discovers a tank-hazardous target from the front (for example, a grenade launcher or an idiot with a Molotov cocktail), and an armor-piercing sub-caliber gun is in the barrel of the cannon - to hit from a cannon ?? A coaxial machine gun is not a luxury, but a harsh necessity.
By the way, how many cars were destroyed by the defeat of the tower in the weakened area where the twin FCT is located? Negligible.

[Aleks tv]

Quote: bolat19640303

The advantage of the coaxial machine gun is its constant readiness for use by the gunner.

Well said, bolat.

Paired FCT, as it does not sound strange, is the gunner’s main weapon. He is rarely idle. It’s like a hammer - which is constantly in work, fluff - a sledgehammer, which is used as necessary.
It was annoying:
- for modest elevation characteristics,
- sometimes there was not enough caliber power.
- not just conduct aimed fire at range strokes on the scope grid.

The DUM on Armata is certainly good, just super. We’ve dreamed about this for a long time, but this is most likely a means of self-defense of the tank from all kinds of fans to carry the seven on the shoulder.
To use it to the gunner - not comme il faut, will prevent the commander from working in the panorama.
DUM is more a weapon of the commander himself, in order to destroy the targets associated with observation without distracting the gunner from the main work.
Yes, the hole for the coaxial machine gun in the frontal armor of the tower - of course, this is not an ice ...
We must somehow choose the lesser of evils.
Why not mount it into the fluff mask itself? Yes, increase the caliber?

Just a rumor, let's see which decision they make.

[PRACTICIAN]

As for the impossibility of firing a 7,62 machine gun at 360 degrees - as they say, you can't hide behind a mop, and even if the distance is such that the target still "fits" behind the antenna, the problem is solved by turning the tower a few degrees. And in battle, in most cases, when firing from a machine gun, no one turns the barrel to the right to the left, because the sight allows you to hit a relatively small target at a great distance, and long bursts are used either to morally suppress the enemy, or to destroy an obstacle hiding target.

[RiverVV]

What is the point of discussing what is not? The towers of the tanks shown at the parade are definitely temporary. Before starting the machine in a series, it is still to be cut and sawed. If a 152 mm fool is really put on her, then the appearance of the tower will be completely different and the body kit too.

[Wolka]

what was shown at the Victory Parade doesn’t mean the final version, the defenders were also reinsured, why show everything right away, the key thing in the concept is the uninhabited modular tower, so draw conclusions that how many weapons will be included in the combat kits of this or that tank modification, after all, so far we have been shown only an updated chassis and a grain of weapons and defense systems, and what will happen later we will see ... and catch-up will also establish the production of high-speed mobile wedges (ersatz ATVs) with a crew out of 2 people ...

[Sochi]

Tankers, why did the tanks abandon the coaxial KPVT machine gun? There are enough targets on the battlefield for which the gun is redundant, and the PKT is weak.

[ssn18]

What are we talking about? A minimum is known about the tank. How many manufactured? I think when the T-14 goes into production, it will be significantly different from the one shown.

It’s interesting, but if the fire control system fails from the place of the gunner in the armored capsule? Is it possible for the gunner to get into the tower and work there? The tank is assembled with us, anything can be in terms of breakdowns ... I certainly don’t want to say anything bad about our defense industry, but .....

[THANK YOU ALL]

Is.

Is.

Who told you that? Is there a fighting compartment from the armored capsule?

You are right, I think there is no such hatch, and there should not be, if it is a hatch, then it will be light for the gunner to open it, so this is a weak zone that does not protect the crew in the "capsule".
The tower is not inhabited at all, and I am 99% sure that there will be no transition of the crew to the tower.
Otherwise, almost any hit in the tower = the death of the crew through the passage hatch.

In order for a machine gun or one of the machine guns to work synchronously with the launcher, it does not necessarily have to be paired with it, it can be attached, for example, in a container to the tower and work synchronously in normal mode, but if necessary, it can also work independently "mode. But the 7,62 machine gun at a distance of up to 200 meters (and maybe more) pierces the BMP-1 into the side (and maybe not only the BMP), but the enemy's manpower can be effectively shot (from the PKT) at a distance of more than 1200 meters, and you can also destroy a brick or block wall from it (not very thick and if you know how to shoot at it so that it collapses). Remote detonation of a projectile on the trajectory - probably means the possibility of detonating a HE shell in the air, at any required distance, when firing at the enemy's manpower, while the projectile explodes in front of or above the target, which increases its damaging effect. Well, the tank will be "tested - run in" all the identified shortcomings will be eliminated, something new and useful will be added. I know from experience that our weapon is the best in the world, and if the barrel of a weapon is bent and there is nowhere else to take it, you need to learn how to effectively use the existing one.

Device for accounting for bending of the trunk DU-125. It is intended for automatic accounting of the thermal bending of the trunk in the HV and GN planes as part of the control system. Provides increased accuracy in calculating ballistic shells. On Armata this device is installed.
And on the module is a 12,7 mm machine gun. And there is a coaxial 7,62 mm machine gun, look into the slotted slot in the casing to the right of the gun.

Here is shown on Red Square Armata. Everyone knows that she has not yet passed the tests. Tests in the troops did not even begin. The fact that for the parade specially brigades of factory testers trained several military crews was stuck in their teeth. There is not even an official instruction for the tank. The military said before the parade that during the tests all systems would be checked for compliance. Ie there is no tank as such yet.
And the parade did not show the tank. Showed Armata heavy tracked platform and cars at its base. And they could not show either the engineering machine or self-propelled guns, showed only the tank and TBMP.

Well, Ukrainian experts have already appeared who confidently declare that there are no armored capsules in Armata, and the capabilities of the machine-gun turret are insufficient.

Dear, you did not even see this tank alive. You do not have reliable data, you even have rumors delivered through the tenth hands! You can even theoretically know less about this tank than about the same Merkava! So with what fright did you decide that you can talk about its design? :)

like most. And this does not leave them to say that Armata is a super duper and further on in the text, has no analogues, surpasses, at least as you noticed there were no state tests.

And where did you get the idea that the T-14 at the parade would look exactly like that? Rogozin has already said that there will be a replacement gun from 122 to 152mm. Maybe the tower on the tank will be different, but this one was set up for the parade. T-14 it is a block tank, created from replaceable blocks. Nobody knows what it will look like in battle.

For any kind of surprise they are preparing ....

[PRACTICIAN]

About Thai tanks: Until recently, they were armed with old American and Chinese tanks. The country buys second-rate tanks because a tank in Thailand is nothing more than a means of supporting infantry units. It’s inconvenient to fight in a forest in a tank, only in some places they can come in handy and be effective. If Thailand were a less impassable country and tanks could play a decisive role there on the battlefield, then most likely their authorities would not even look at the Ukrainian miracle tank, but would buy something more serious from Western friends.

[PRACTICIAN]

I wrote about the barrel of the curve, not necessarily about the tank launcher, it’s generally about any barrel and even about any problem in general. It means that in any situation you cannot give up in battle, but you need to find a way out of the situation. The Russian soldier is always resourceful and savvy, so he knows how to win with his bare hands.

Not to mention the electronics of the tank.
“We know little about electronics.” This was traditionally a weak spot in the Soviet-Russian military industry. And if in terms of efficiency they approached foreign samples, then in terms of mass and size indicators they lost.

Those who answered the questions, "to put it mildly", are not in the subject of developments in Russian electronics. Well oooo to say the least
