T-72B3 tanks will receive automatic gear shift

96
The updating of the existing fleet of armored vehicles is ongoing. Recently it became known that during the current modernization of drill tanks The T-72 family was proposed to use new components that further enhance the characteristics of the equipment. In addition to the project that is already being implemented, updating electronic equipment, weapons, etc. Now it is planned to introduce new units of the power plant and transmission, affecting the mobility of the tanks and their operational characteristics.

According to the Izvestia edition, the main battle tanks T-72 will receive additional equipment in the form of an updated transmission control system during the modernization of new lots. The new version of the T-72B3 retrofit project involves the use of the automatic gearbox APP-172. The automatic system will replace the manual control lever connected to the hydraulic actuators. It is expected that such a modernization will greatly simplify the operation of armored vehicles, as well as facilitate its management and reduce the negative consequences of driver errors.

According to reports, the new version of the modernization of the T-72B3 was developed by Uralvagonzavod Corporation upon the request of the Ministry of Defense. The next contract of the Ministry of Defense for the repair and modernization of armored vehicles in the army, among other things, involves the use of a new automated gearbox. The contract signed in March implies the restoration and renewal of a hundred and fifty T-72B tanks. This technique, together with other new systems, will receive APP-172 machines.

It is reported that the gearbox with automatic machine APP-172, proposed for use on T-72B3 tanks, was borrowed from the T-90CM project. Thus, due to the use of new units it is planned to improve the characteristics of existing tanks to the level of the latest developments. Upgrading the transmission will simplify the management of equipment and bring such parameters to a new high level.

The automatic gearbox APP-172, proposed for installation on upgraded tanks, was developed in NPO "Electromashina", part of the corporation "Uralvagonzavod." The device is designed as a single unit with a set of necessary controls, which can be installed in the control department of the upgraded equipment. Installation of the machine and its connection to the necessary onboard systems can be carried out both in the factories and in the field.

The APP-172 system is able to track the parameters of transmission operation and independently perform gear changes. There are manual and automatic mode of operation. In addition, when the automatic mode of operation remains the ability to shift gears manually. During automatic operation, the machine spends on the gearshift order of 0,2 with. The machine connects to the on-board systems using a two-wire circuit and is installed to the right of the driver's seat, in the same place as the regular transmission control systems.

On the body of the automatic device APP-172 there is a set of necessary controls. A toggle switch is provided to turn on the device with LED indication, as well as a movable lever with a scale that simulates a regular transmission control device. Thus, the use of the machine does not require complex retraining of personnel with the development of new equipment management principles.

The use of automatic gear, according to the developer, allows you to optimize the work of the transmission due to the correct management of it. Proper transmission control can reduce the acceleration time from standstill to 50 km / h on 2-3 with. Average highway speeds can be increased by 15-20%. The 10-15% reduces fuel consumption. Thus, the installation of a relatively simple and small device allows you to significantly increase the mobility of the armored vehicle and improve its performance.

The first domestic tank that received the automatic gearbox APP-172, was the T-90CM. In addition, such equipment was used in one of the special projects. This system is now offered for installation on upgraded T-72B3 for front-end units. Thus, the original innovation will be able to get into the troops and have a positive impact on the operation of the upgraded armored vehicles.

According to Izvestia, the first batch of X-NUMX tanks T-32B72 with the APP-3 submachine gun will be upgraded by the end of this year and will be available to the 172 Guards Tank Army of the Western Military District. In the future, troops will receive the remaining vehicles, which will be updated in accordance with a recent order.

It should be noted that the project of equipping the T-72B3 tanks with automatic gearshift is not the first option to upgrade the power plant and transmission of armored vehicles of this type. So, back in 2014, the main tank T-72B3М (also the designation T-72B4) was introduced, intended for participation in the "Tank Biathlon". This machine was a modified version of the original T-72B3 using components and assemblies from T-90CM. The “racing” tank was equipped with an advanced B-92C2F engine with 1130 horsepower, a new power plant control system, an automatic gear shift and other equipment for various purposes, including new sighting equipment.

T-72B3М was tested on the track of the competition and showed itself well. However, this modification of the tank is not yet planned for mass production, and the modernization of armored vehicles available to the troops is being carried out according to the T-72B3 project. However, according to recent reports, the updated cars of new lots will receive automatic transmission control, borrowed from previous projects. This will further improve the characteristics of armored vehicles without significant costs for the replacement of various components.

        In any case, the automatic gear shift is not the most important thing. Switching them is not difficult, hydraulics, however.

          Easy to say. You must immediately change the sight of the commander. It must be changed in any case.
          It’s just not fanatical about the panoramic sight, but at least a modern analogue of what was on the t-80.
          In general, as with the T-72, the situation is "step forward 2 back". There was a T-80 with a closed ROM, a normal contact-5 body kit, a powerful engine (already "behind the eyes"), even with a thermal imager. They took them out of service.
          They delivered without normal density dz, without rom and with the ancient sight of the commander, and began to strengthen the engine. The only bonus is the new AZ.
          So that it was impossible to shove AZ (namely AZ) in the T-80 and put another engine (there was a diesel version of 500 units only in the Russian Federation, again, the RF assignee of the USSR with intellectual property has no development problems).

              The Russian Federation has received official or tacit recognition as a state that has accepted from the USSR as the main components of its international legal status. In the agreements concluded by the Russian Federation with individual states, the new term “successor state” was used ... However, it can be noted that not all such agreements use this formula, proceeding, obviously, from the fact that it applies only to certain international affairs and does not pretend to supplant the traditional category of succession. The concept of the successor state was manifested in determining, firstly, the fate of the membership of the USSR in the UN and other international organizations, and secondly, the fate of the diplomatic and consular missions of the USSR in foreign countries. Both issues were resolved by agreement with interested states.

              According to the data provided by the Russian Federation, at the end of 1991 the liabilities of the former Union were estimated at $ 93,7 billion, and assets at $ 110,1 billion. Vnesheconombank's deposits amounted to about $ 700 million. The Agreement of the CIS states on the property of the former USSR overseas on December 30, 1991 stipulated that each of the CIS member states receives a fair share in the property of the USSR abroad, the size of the shares was determined by the Agreement on the distribution of all property of the former USSR over 6 July 1992 Subsequently, however, on a bilateral basis, Russia agreed with the CIS member states, with the exception of Ukraine, to accept their shares of the external debt of the former USSR and shares in the assets of the former USSR abroad.

      1. KAZ "Afganit", the lead developer is the Design Bureau of Mechanical Engineering (Kolomna), millimeter-wave radar is being developed by the Lianozovsky Electromechanical Plant. KAZ "Afganit" is designed for the close line of interception (several meters from the protected object). The maximum speed of intercepted ammunition is 1700 m / s, which implies the ability to counter armor-piercing sub-caliber shells.

      2. Another KAZ complex is being developed by TsKIB SOO (a division of the Tula Instrument Design Bureau, part of the High Precision Complexes holding). According to the statement of Alexei Sorokin, General Director of TsKIB SOO, the complex has successfully passed state tests and a pilot industrial batch is being manufactured.

      3. KAZ, developed by OJSC "Phazotron" is designed to protect the upper hemisphere of armored objects. The radar is designed to operate at short ranges with a short duration of sounding pulses. It provides automatic detection of attacking ammunition in the upper hemisphere above the protected moving object, both in the parking lot and in motion.

              ExactlyHE counter-ammunition (with a shell of predetermined crushing, ready-to-use striking elements) provide for the destruction of rocket-propelled grenades and guided missiles.

              Not effective against solid and thick-walled kinetic ammunition (armor-piercing sub-caliber, cumulative and HE shells of anti-tank artillery and tank guns).

              The “forbidden” zone around the object remains quite significant - about 20–30 m.

              On a rotary installation, there is a block of two counter-explosive ordnance with a high-explosive warhead that fires in the direction of the target and, when detonated at the turn of about 10 m from the protected object, destroy or deflect the anti-tank ammunition with a high-explosive effect, without forming fragments.
              According to the developers, this reduces the likelihood of collateral damage to their troops, while at the same time quite effectively acting on the PTS ammunition. "

          The machine has not found any particular advantages over manual transmission in addition to convenience

          It has already been explained that on the T-64, 72, 80, 90 tanks.
          Not just a manual transmission, but two (on each side of its own) planetary gearbox with hydraulic control.
          There are no clutches with synchronizers there. The gear ratio is changed by braking of various elements of the planetary gears with friction clutches working in oil; hydraulic boosters create the force. Mechanic driver moving a lever changes the position of the spool in the hydraulic distribution mechanism and all. Well, what the hell is there automatic switching? I don’t understand myself ... request
          If this machine is very reliable and very inexpensive ...
          What doubts ... Especially for the price. wink
          I will also add "my own five cents" about the quick-detachable power units mentioned by the professor.
          Unfortunately, he presses more on the theoretical-visual part, but in practice there are some clarifications. And very significant.
          I myself, like many tankers and others who joined them, of course, so that the power unit could be quickly removed and installed in the tank and other BBM.
          The question arises: why didn’t they, for example, in the T-72?
          After all, technically it is not difficult. It is only necessary to install diesel, guitar, oil tanks, radiators on one base, and then, all this together, should already be fixed to the machine body. True blocking will cause weight gain, but not so significant.
          Perfectly! But it makes sense only when a crane of at least 2 tons is available ... And the spare power unit itself.
          Such blocks are arranged so closely that even for minor repairs, and, sometimes, maintenance is necessary to remove it from the tank.
          A serious military conflict, not with the Papuans, but with a strong adversary is characterized by the fact that fuel, ammunition, spare parts, maintenance and repair equipment, even food and water become scarce. For a strong adversary makes every effort to make it so.
          That is, to put it more simply, in 72-ke a qualified crew can, with minimal maintenance and repair tools, restore the car in some cases without pulling out all the guts. In cases with quick-detachable power blocks this is very problematic. Need a crane, more powerful than a manual hoist, need a spare unit, what if They are not herethen all the benefits go away on no.
          This is most likely the reason for the "conservatism" of the designers of the 72nd.
          The solution, most likely, is to triumph the law on unity and the struggle of contradictions: both the engine is easy to remove and maintain maintainability in the field.

          , the right hand on the handbrake is the foot on the clutch and so it begins to treacherously tremble.
          And if they shoot at you in the tank, not everyone’s nerves can stand it, threw abruptly the clutch, too much, stalled and minced if the enemy is not inexplicable.
          On the robot, you can use your foot to hold the brake (left) and use the right brake to keep the revs. He has applied the brake. He will not go anywhere and will go back.

    This happened to my friends and relatives. smile
    Himself in an escort fell, 300 meters from the house, drowned out-shop-silence. After that, first of all I climb and check the brushes on the starter.

      not quite so. The robot will start from the first - it won’t drive on slippery surfaces, the machine must be accelerated to 30-40, the chain tensioner does not like sharp jerks even on the mechanics (the chain may jump)

        Damn where to disperse it, and rather rather by whom ... smile
        Theoretically, it is possible, but how, the more so for foreign cars and now other cars, you won’t use the curve.
        Only hang the wheels on the rack jack ... and so on. laughing
        In short, graphite brushes and the battery must be monitored.

    It would be better to buy T90, otherwise they are trying to modernize the "Ural" to make ersatz "Vladimir". All ersatz are always worse than the original

    Not an assignee. The USSR had 15 successors, for that matter.


    And why then 15 legal successors did not pay the debts of the USSR?

    And because our state Russia lives according to the principle “give yours to your uncle, and you ...!” And the results are such that all “great” “fraternal” peoples consider themselves robbed and tamed by our state. We are the only ones who owe everyone's debts. And as for the tank, why bother with the old machine gun? We need to develop new models and move on to unification and create a single tank, otherwise 80-ku, 72-ku should be modernized again ... Then it turns out that in vain they did everything, but there is not enough money for new samples.
