Britain intends to modernize its tanks in connection with the advent of "Armata" in Russia

The leadership of the British Ministry of Defense tasked with studying the possibilities of modernization tank Challenger 2 either to work out a decision on the creation of a new type of main tanks, reports Look with reference to the head of the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Kingdom of Nick Carter.

Speaking at a military exhibition in London on September 16, Carter noted that "the future of the Challenger 2 tank is being considered at the highest level in the army."

According to the general, as part of the cardinal modernization of the vehicle, the issue of creating a new tank is also being considered. The final decision has not yet been made.

Some British officers openly announced the obsolescence of the tank gun (L30A1 120 mm) and ammunition for it, which "are unable to penetrate the armor of the Armata".

As foreign media write, "the new Russian T-14 tank is superior to Western developments of a similar class." And, according to the Japanese publication "The Diplomat", the T-14 "may turn out to be the deadliest tank in the world."

As it turns out, we just showed our supposedly "cardboard" Armata, and the whole West rushed to pour billions into the modernization of their tanks. Already a victory, they are wasting money (in vain, no modernization will save them from Armata)

The Uralvagonzavod corporation has agreed with the military the price of the T-14 Armata tank, which had previously been criticized as too expensive, reports TASS with reference to Vyacheslav Khalitov, deputy general director of UVZ for special equipment. According to representatives of the plant, the manufacturer will work to reduce the price when the tank goes into large-scale production.

The agreed price for the new tank, which was launched in limited series production last year, has not yet been announced. The situation was explained to Lente.ru by a military expert, reserve colonel Viktor Murakhovsky: “There are no prices for a tank, there is a price of work, which includes both the price of building prototypes and the price of development. Of course, the first cars will go gold. In addition, a number of manufacturers of key components receive funds for their products directly from the Ministry of Defense, and Uralvagonzavod already receives ready-made components and assemblies from them for installation on its vehicle. Therefore, it is difficult to talk about the price of the tank now, ”Murakhovsky said.

Earlier, Oleg Bochkarev, deputy chairman of the board of the Military-Industrial Commission, said that the cost of the new Armata tanks was too high. According to him, the contract with the tank-producing UVZ has been signed for three years, and the price of the combat vehicles has already been determined. “But we need to work further, we criticize UVZ for its high cost,” Bochkarev said.

The estimated cost of the tank in the series has not yet been announced in open sources. Previously, representatives of UVZ indicated that it should be about half that of competitors. Considering that the cost of modernizing modern Western main battle tanks in the most advanced versions can reach $ 10 million or more, it can be assumed that the price of a serial tank was assumed to be in the range of $ 4-5 million (at the exchange rate at the beginning of autumn 2014). Thus, the Armata tank at this rate should have cost a little more than the T-90 tank, the price of which for the Ministry of Defense was about 120 million rubles, which is about $ 2011 million at the weighted average rate of XNUMX.

Prices for the T-14 were not published in open sources. In early 2015, it was reported that a three-year contract had been signed and the price of the tank in small-scale production had been agreed upon. Deputy Chairman of the Board of the Military-Industrial Commission Oleg Bochkarev said that this price is too high, and the manufacturer must work to reduce the cost. According to representatives of UVZ, the price of a product in large-scale production will be significantly lower. If we compare the price of the T-14 with the prices of modern models of western MBT, then we can assume that the T-14 will be almost 2 times cheaper: about $ 5 million (which is slightly more expensive than the T-90AM). http://wiki.worldweapons.ru/%D1%82%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BA%D0%B8/%D1%82-14_%D0%B0%D1%8

Do not know. Better or worse. But when you know the thoughts of your opponent (eamet, not the enemy), it is easier to communicate. And when you stand like a Christmas tree, hung with minuses, and not a single comment, you wonder if I'm right or wrong?
Here, there is probably still a rating indicator, which is very important.
Many people perceive VO as an exciting game. And once again to get a minus is to go down a step lower.
It's nice to communicate with "big stars", even if you don't agree with them.
They have been ill with this. Even with the "junior command staff", but it is usually banned more than once.

In England, there has long been a debate about the advisability of tanks as such. And the fact that Challenger 2 appeared is generally a merit of the country's government, which decided to save Vicker from bankruptcy. It is worth learning from the British about caring for domestic producers. What would happen to UVZ, if the Indians did not buy the T-90S, it's scary to think.

Good tanks can be made in EUROPE only by the Germans and partly by the French, the Germans have a very good tank building school since the Second World War.
And the British, despite the fact that they are the ancestors of the use of tanks, were not noted for anything outstanding here.

Fearless and invulnerable, he rushes with all his bulk into the very heat of battle, under shells and bullets, freely takes the enemy's trenches, like an empty, insignificant obstacle, and, sowing destruction and death around him, calmly returns to his regiment. British soldiers named this new comrade of arms "tank" ("tank").

Nea VADIM disagree ...)))


On November 23, the British tried to renew the offensive. The surprise effect was gone, and tanks were no longer massaged. The Germans repulsed a new attack of the 51st division with 24 tanks of the 2nd brigade on Fontaine-Notre-Dame, knocking out 18 tanks (11 of them - by direct hit of shells). The 23 vehicles of the 3rd Tank Brigade that came up did not help either. On the streets of the village, tanks were struck by bundles of hand grenades and fire from the upper floors of buildings - even then it was concluded that "fighting in settlements is least favorable for tanks."
On November 27, the British made a last attempt at an offensive, but the Germans had already prepared an anti-tank defense, and of 32 tanks only 13 survived.

Urgently pulling up reserves to the section of the breakthrough, the German troops stopped the British, and on November 30 they launched a counterattack. The exhausted Tank Corps at this time was withdrawn to the rear. Nevertheless, on November 30, the 2nd Tank Brigade, which was preparing for loading, received an order to advance for a counterattack. By 16.00, 73 tanks arrived in the battle zone, which counterattacked the German units together with the 2nd Guards and 2nd Cavalry Divisions. By December 6, the Germans had pushed the British back by 30 - 2 km along the entire 4-kilometer front of the operation, but were unable to surround them and return the first two positions of the Siegfried Line.
As a result of the counterattack at Cambrai, the Reichswehr captured about 100 MkIVs as trophies, mostly out of order.

This is how the Germans, having recovered from the first shock, thrashed the Anglo-Saxons at the most ...

You can't just change the gun. At a minimum, it will be necessary to change the tower, charging mechanisms, think about placing another ammo, make changes to the ballistic computer.
In general, the hemorrhoids are still. This is even if there is already another weapon. And if not, then develop it from 0, and think about ammunition.

It is easy to say that it is necessary to build a new tank, and even a robotic one. But in practice it is 7-10 years, subject to funding and the availability of technology. Even the Germans, one of the leaders of tank building, say that they will have something similar to the Armata. in 7-10 years. So "cut Shura, she is golden"

We must finish off the British to the end, show them our construction battalion, these can fight without weapons at all.

[Zaurbek]

The British, I think, will not be able to make the next tank entirely by themselves. The combined hodgepodge will turn out to be of the "Merkava" type. The engine is American, the box is the same, the gun is Germany. They don't need a lot of tanks, there are no sanctions. It's cheaper than doing everything yourself. Or they will enter into an alliance with Germany and France.
