@Dazzler What APFSDS shells are used by PA today? And where do you manufacture them?

Monkey model though.

The one supplied to us may have been monkey models. Then what is proof pressure?

Thanks for the correction. You are right. This info I can guarantee it is correct. It came from OFB. The online link is dead however. My dumb self failed to keep the pdf. I tried searching for it again and failed. The document was uploaded in this website and the lack of a search function...

@methos 2A46 (T-72) has a proof pressure of 8000 bars. Autofrettage pressure has not been mentioned anywhere. Proof pressure for the gun has been increased from 6700 bars to 8000 bars. Max chamber pressure is 6500 bars for the 2A46 as of today up from the earlier 5500 bars. This is official...

Re: Arjun Main Battle Tank (MBT) What level of capability does the Relikt (the version on T-90MS) offer compared to our enemy's arsenal? I mean you said the remaining 1/3rd is less protected on it, so a comparison between T-90S, Arjun Mk1/2 and MS would be neat. Also, I would hope your...

Those rounds are still functional in our threat environment.

Re: Arjun Main Battle Tank (MBT) Is that claim of 800mm vs KE true for T-90MS, or is it horse-puckey?

Tanks are needed to plough through defences and hold ground. Aircraft can't do that. Aircraft will be restricted in their role if there are enemy aircraft present. Ground based SAMs will further reduce aircraft capability against tanks. Modern A2G weapons would mean current generation of tanks...

I don't know what most other countries are doing, but Nag currently has CCD/IIR seeker like the Spike. Javelin has only IIR. Nag Mk2 being tested now has a mmW seeker and they are testing out Lock on before launch. Later they will upgrade it to have lock on after launch. Beyond that there will...

I think the old T-90's acceleration from 0-20mph is 12 seconds. But this came with the 950HP engine. Maybe similar to T-90A. So, I doubt the T-72B can exceed the Leo A4 at that. The T-90A with the 1130 HP should be a better match for the Leo A4. But there is no guarantee the performance will...

Re: Arjun Main Battle Tank (MBT) Thanks for the pictures. Good resolution too. Hmm. Am I right in assuming they look the same?

We can only try, can't we? :thumb:

Ah yes. I remember now. Thanks for refreshing my memory.

I agree with you here. Currently Russia has dated tanks while European armies are more modern due to the lull after the Soviet break up which prevented any major tank modernization in Russia. So, in a decade Russia will have modern tanks while Europe will have to sit and think up a new design to...

By the time Russia gets 2300 Armata. The old T-72Bs and T-80s will be going out. I don't think Russia will make anything more than 200 tanks a year.

You can expect to see a radical change in how the Chinese operate in the next decade. So, the current inventory may not reflect what the future holds for them. PLA's force structure is still undergoing modernization after all. PLA will be a bit more predictable sometime after 2020, when the...

Posted hundreds of time all over the place. AMK 338 is Israeli MK1. AMK 339 is BM-42. AMK-340A is our shell which failed.

339 is BM-42. It is our designation for the shell.
