The panoramic sight was tried on T-72M1 before but not successful in late 90s..

Re: Indian T-90S MBT Upgrade Plan..

Question. What of resource on rubberised trak? Why to put more complicated FCS? How is a problem decided remotely operating by a zenithal machine gun? And the most important question. How does decide a problem with the loss of power of engine?

Its cheaper & Less noise with less damage on roads..
FCS is same, But thermal sights for gunner and commander so does the driver are new..
Remote control MG with optics is not giving full view of the battle field, Dedicated panoramic sight solve this problem..
When on silent mode engines are off, Tank electronics are powered by APU..

I apparently wrote wrong. Through how many is kilometres trucks subject to replacement, not easier to put the rubber pads?

Keeping Cool in the Indian Desert in Russian battle tanks

Fedders Lloyd Corporation Ltd Incorporated in the year 1957, was setup to fulfill prospects for climate control equipment, especially in the field of Air Conditioners, in India , making consumer air conditioning units and later supplying air conditioning to passenger train carriages. Fedders Lloyd branched out to telecommunications and then military HVAC.

Fedders Lloyd have already supplied over two thousand military grade ruggedized air conditioning and heating systems for mine-protected vehicles and main battle tanks for the Indian Army, like the T-72M1 Ajeya,T-90S Bishman and the Arjun. The company is also in the process of supplying air conditioning and heating units for 150 armored ambulance vehicles – both tracked and wheeled versions and mobile radar stations.

The Fedders Lloyd units can cool a tank or armored vehicle to 23 degrees Celsius (73.4 degrees Fahrenheit) when it is 55 degrees C (131 degrees F) outside, Nagarajan Sridharan, CEO and director of marketing for the New Delhi-headquartered company, told a military vehicles conference in Detroit recently.

"Our focus is improving crew efficiency, which is a battlefield factor and therefore a force multiplier," he said, adding. "Where the mind can work peacefully, and action can be taken swiftly."

In the past, said Fedders Lloyd Senior Vice President Vivek Mehta, a retired brigadier general in the Indian Army tank corps, the comfort of tank crews was "expendable." But with the introduction of climate sensitive computer technology for tracking, targeting and communications, climate control became essential, he added.

The challenges include the extremely hot and dusty conditions of the Indian deserts. One requirement of the power units for HVAC systems on tanks like the Russian T-90 or T-72 is that there still be power for the air conditioning as well as moving the gun and turret when the main engine is shut down, Sridharan said.
