The leadership of the Ministry of Defense of the Russian Federation proposed to extend the operation tanks T-72 for 15 years, transmits TASS a message from Vyacheslav Khalitov, deputy head of Uralvagonzavod.

“The Ministry of Defense offered the option of upgrading the T-72 tank, that is, this extension is another 15 years. Our life cycle is possible up to 70 years, ”said Halitov.

“At the moment, the life cycle of the T-72 tanks is 46 years,” he noted.

"When we will dispose of T-72 we, frankly, do not know," added Khalitov.

And what year they promise 2000 or 3000 Armat to put in the troops, remind me please?

[Wedmak]

At 2016, delivery to military trials will begin. Presumably, not in 1-2 pieces will be delivered, but in dozens.

[Sasha 19871987]

T 72 is one of the most warring tanks, that's right, a time-tested machine, its pros and cons have been known for a long time and there are a lot of it in the army ... And Atmata still has to be run and run in, no matter how cool the raw machine is, so before fighting copies must wait, but not hysterical ... Moscow, too, was not immediately built)))

[Sauron80]

The tank may be both run-in and fighting, but watch the video on the internet, how these tanks are burning bearded monkeys with the ATGM of our "western partners".

[gans_sp]

Abrams burns no worse, just the saturation of Soviet-made tanks is higher in this region, which may lead to the erroneous opinion that our tanks are burning, and the rest are not.
PS: And, I forgot, the abrams in Iraq are in the export version, normal abrams do not burn))

[inkass_98]

Quote: Sauron80

watch a video on the internet how these tanks burn bearded monkeys

If the tank is with normal protection, then the monkey bites to burn it; in Chechnya, there were four to five hits in the tank, but it remained in service. And on any video with BV, mostly unprotected cars burn.

So there was a video on our website, as if from Syria, where several times 72-ke shied from a grenade launcher, shouting "Alla, I'm in the bar", So the screams with each shot became quieter, and the tank backed away on the move (I really hope I was able to leave)

the most warring tank is still the T-55, but there are a lot of videos with wrecked tanks, well, sorry if your tanks fight in different countries 5-6 times more often, naturally the video and photos of the wrecked tanks will be many times larger than the video other tanks that do not even appear on the real battlefield!

[Wedmak]

So where to test the T-14, if not in the army? They will deliver a couple of dozens, conduct exercises, then analyze the actions and work of the equipment.

[pistons]

I doubt it very much. The deadlines for corvettes, frigates, submarines, PAK FA have been shifted, and for Armata too.

I can even answer, ahem in a year,
It’s okay, the T-72 and T-90 are not much worse than Armata, Armata is extremely expensive and difficult to operate, and it’s a crime to put an unfinished tank into the army.

Again. Armata is a concept, the transition to a robotic remote-controlled technology, and not the Russian MBT.

[Wedmak]

Armata is a concept, the transition to robotic telecontrol technology

Armata is a heavy tracked unified platform first of all. What is being hung on it is the second question. Robotic telecontrolled equipment is a separate article and a separate ROC. If the principle of modularity and a single platform is preserved, it will be possible to make the "old" T-72 new. How do you like the idea of ​​a tank platoon from a pair of T-14 and 3-4 robotic T-72? The list of tactics grows many times over.

[Wedmak]

I would like to ask you in a year how many "dozens" were put ... I think not how many. and this is not a joke, such infa ...

Agreed

[Gormenghast]

Ukrainians will return $ 3 billion - enough for 375 Armat, or more for large-scale production.

[propaganda NO]

and you have reliable information about the number or at least a percentage of the t-90 tank to the total number of tanks in the whole of rf.

What is this said? Now this situation is developing, that a lot of tanks may be needed, but there is no way to replace it immediately with the T-90 and Armata. The surest way out is to extend the life of the T-72! Or can you suggest something else?

[user]

When we will dispose of the T-72 we honestly do not know

I don’t understand why they should be written off, upgraded to the level of Terminator-2, and it will be difficult to find the best combat vehicle to participate in the restricted military zone.

If someone else does not understand, then Armata is a transitional tank to a fully telecontrolled. Armata and nafig in all the troops did not give up.
A real new long-lived tank will not appear after Armata. Armata will be similar to it no more than BT-2 is similar to IS-3 or PT-76.

No objection. Obtain a license and dispose of it, having previously received an advance from the Ministry of Defense. Figures from the protocol of the court decision. There, one office sued because the Moscow Region did not transfer the advance payment stipulated in the contract for the disposal of a certain number of BTT units. In turn, the Moscow Region filed a counterclaim to the office. The MO claim was: Disposal was not carried out at the site indicated in the license. What is the difference MO in what area the tank sawed?
And the average cost here is what happened - 60-65 thousand rubles per tank. This is a payment from MO. Can you pay for such a payment alone for a certain period of time, cut more than 40 tons of high-alloy iron? And if under the contract there are 100-200 of them? I'm making fun of it. We need equipment, workers - a small plant, like TRZ. And you won’t get profit until you sell iron. Do you think it’s like hot cakes? That is unlikely.

there’s no reference to that material at hand, it’s just the average price from memory, but there were exactly the T-72, T-80 tanks, also BREMs and armored personnel carriers in quantities for a hundred of each model. Here is another contract offer in 2013 for a smaller number and BMP are present. The average price is higher - 69000 rubles. Although specifically BMP is certainly cheaper, it corresponds to a smaller mass. At the conclusion of the contract, require an advance from the MO. A common practice is upfront recycling of 70-80%.

Interesting news. Are the plans for the release of the new T-14 and T-90 changing? Or have you decided to seriously study the issue of robot tanks?

[Saburov]

The old horse will not spoil the furrow ... although it doesn’t plow deeply, but if you look at the track record of the old T-72, then he is more than impressive, as he has shown himself worthy in many conflicts, although many fans of pop ... even I’ve never seen a combat vehicle in my eyes, they like to show photos with torn towers (often the same ones), so I’ll answer you as a doctor or as a graduate of the ChVTKU BK more often than not burn out than detonate, for my service I only saw twice jerked BC and then on 80, but I saw how 72 came with three sticking out in bro e grenades and half the cut-off of cumulative jet engine, while losing 80% capacity, so thanks to the Soviet steelmakers! A worthy modernization will only enhance its capabilities, and armor ... it is also armor in Africa ....

And you spoil your karma with ur comment quack quack crackers)))
No ** I, Americans should sit down, cry. put your hands down with the words ahh! the Russians have "Armata" and we have fucked up all the polymers! At the same time, tactfully keeping silent that in the near future the Armat, like the T-90 with a gulkin nose and a main battle tank in various modifications (and not always successful), remains the T-72.

Damn, at such a pace, I’ll soon jump to trolling utryakryalok)))

Aw grunts! )))
PS.
T-72 is an excellent tank requiring modernization consistent with the current realities of life. I am for.
but in "Armata" all the same, only the pros will admit it, but as a mass tank T-72 it is.

[Wedmak]

So the Americans did not roll out a brand new tank. If I’m not mistaken, even there are no plans to replace Abrams with anything. And somehow they kept silent about the cumulative shells for Abrams. Scored on this case?

[pistons]

Well, the Americans didn’t roll out to the square in front of the White House, a tank that didn’t exist yet to hit everyone and everything

[Scoun]

Quote: Wedmak

So americans nor a brand new tank rolled out

Conceptually, a new tank was rolled out only by us.
All the other tanks ... how should I put it right ...
After the T-72 we had both the T-80 and the T-90, and the "Black Eagle" attempt (very good but very expensive and when the means do not justify themselves)
US modifications of Abrams
in Germany leopard
France Leclerc
and so on
"New tanks" released China, Japan (with a German gun) and Korea (black panther)
But these are all tanks of the previous generation from which almost all of their capabilities were pumped, further a stupor as there are no other new technologies.
In general, these are all fairly obvious things. The only thing I would like to note about "Armata" is that the first batch of "Armata" will and should not be large, since new technical and technological solutions are already appearing in the process of "manufacturing". The second part with modernization will be 15% better.

Not once in the exercises were the Tom River and all sorts of different things. The car is very good, reliable and simple. I love this tank.

[Engineer]

What kind of talk went about recycling? Replace gradually with new models, not forgetting to upgrade old ones. In addition, our equipment is very popular in BV, so why dispose of it, if you can, if not donate it, at least sell it for some money?

[Wedmak]

When we will dispose of the T-72 we honestly do not know

Well yes. Half a century to the tank, e ... But now they will develop a network remote control of the tank, and there will be a logical idea to cram it not only into the T-90, but also into hundreds of T-72. How do you like that? The hellish picture turns out, the terminator is just resting.

[biznaw]

Yeah. Suddenly a magician will fly in a blue helicopter ... and turn on the Lever ... and a forester on a T-70 tractor will leave the forest and expel all the Terminators in fig ..

And how many times have we extended the resource for ICBMs in 90? And they did reach relatively happy times - not everything was cut, not everything fell apart, and there is a new one. You look, and on the T-72 we will reach good times. Moreover, maybe in World of Tanks adult children do not like them very much, but in life, they have reliable, well-deserved equipment that still trains.

[Wolka]

yes, a good kind of exoskeleton for a tank, time-tested, like that, there would be bones, and the meat would grow, like this by hanging outwardly different harness (protection, weapons) upgrading the engine and transmission, you can extend the life of the T-72 grandfather for a long time ...

The mobilization reserve must also be combat-ready. And 72 is still running and shooting. No wonder it was her and not the T-90 who were chased at the biathlon.

There is a backlog for modernization.
