Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology

[Dazzler]

Let Pakistan to buy them first...it's possible for Pakistan to opted for older T-80UD...many of these tank are in Ukrainian storage..and Pak also have 300 something T-80...so they can go for numerical value and bring the T-80 storage to pak..and with chinese or ukrainian help upgrade them...

The pakistani t-80uds (objekt 478BEH) were all new builts except the first 15 vehicles that were also brought to the same standard. Ukraine does not operate the type and are happy with using/ upgrading their t-64s. They only have some T-80BVs in storage.

What is type and thickness of armor and what is the quality of reactive armour. Plus 105mm gun is very underpowered even with the missile

Light tank is not designed for combined arms combat. It is a tank for reconnaissance, for fire support of subversive groups or other small formations. 105-mm gun is quite sufficient.

We will be deploying T 72/90 in future in this region although they will be less agile but T 72/90 will eat them .Armour warfare is very limited to mountain .Also with M777 ,VT 5 will be easy picking

I do not know the terrain in the mountainous area of the Indo-Chinese border. But the war in the mountains is very maneuverable and it has a short range of direct fire. The Romanians even developed a special mountain IFV for their mountain division (now it is a brigade).
MLVM

Modernized

The small straight distances allow the T-72B to hit even with the weaker 100mm anti-tank gun BS-3 (D-10T tank version). They simply shoot not on the cannon's mask, but on caterpillars, sides, in the area of the engine. I will repeat. This tank is not for frontal impact. It's for raids.

I do not know the terrain in the mountainous area of the Indo-Chinese border.

Our passes are twice as high as the highest peak in Romania( Nathula pass at 4000+m).
As for terrain have look at these images
https://www.google.co.in/search?q=t...biw=1366&bih=662#tbm=isch&q=indo+china+border
https://www.google.co.in/search?biw...JLMAKHWcxBxgQ4lYILigB#tbm=isch&q=nathula+pass
At these height the power of the engine decrease along with range ,plus in these environment you need a lot of power of long time , the stress on the engine will be very high .Forget tanks , car some time have problem in these condition .Mountain warfare is a mainly for infantry and airborne units . Plus this tank will have fight a anti tank mines which are present in the area.

If they create it, then they know the task of its application. And who said it would be India?

It is deployed on our border , it is 100% for India

 

[Akim]

It's just a test.

And who said it would be India?

Indians have deployed Modified T-72 in Ladakh , China could not develop a Good 1500 HP Liquid cooled diesel Engine , this is why they can not deploy their Heavy tanks in those areas so they developed a Light weight Tank .

Is the upgraded T-72 1500 hp? Tank-striking force. But in the presence of reconnaissance UAVs, artillery and MLRS, the tank column to the line of contact in general may not reach. The remnants will destroy the ATGM. Now tank confrontations are unlikely.

 

[airtel]

Is the upgraded T-72 1500 hp?.

No , but T-72 is not that heavy so it does not need a 1500 HP Engine .......but Chinese Tanks use air-cooled diesel engines of Ukrainian origin which are not useful for high-altitude warfare Near Ladakh & Tibet .

It's not airy, it's 2-stroke. The main Chinese Type 96 tank does not use the Ukrainian engine. Please tell us which Chinese tank uses the 6TD series engine?
I will repeat it once more. The Indian military does not need a large number of tanks at the border in the mountains. A large number of ATGMs, a large-caliber MLRS, whose missiles are being disassembled by antitank mines.

@J20! @SexyChineseLady @Martian @amoy @no smoking

what type of Engine you are using in think V5 tank ?? according to prasoon sen Gupta , china could not develop water-cooled diesel engines for armored vehicles that generate more than 780 hp.........and all your heavy tanks are using Ukrainian Engines .
is it true ??

 

[bhramos]

often asked question, what is that log on T-90 or T-72 used for?

T-80B, the use of timber for self!

Secretary defense in Ukraine, perhaps ensuring that IF ordered, no delays will occur?

It is planned to order 100 Oplot-M tanks, 200 engines of the 6TD series for Al-Khalid-2 and modernize all the Pakistani T-80UD.

Oplot-P will have to pass the trials first, the engines and UD upgrades are a done deal.
