To the buyers, it was quite a big deal apparently.upgrading electronics is not a big deal.

So a auto turret with ammunition in it and heavily armoured. Hull compact like the T 72 size but increase in height to accommodate the Crew in the hull with both front and side armoured heavily.
Not necessarily... Such drastic change would mean change in CG affecting tranch crossing, gradient climb etc. (will take lots of trials). Weight increase by 5t would mean changed suspension, changing the tracks, change in rollers & driving gears. Then there's engine & transmission.Pretty much but the weight will have to be in the 60 - 65 ton range. I mean, even with such pathetic turret armor, the Armata weighs 55+ ton, so no way we can keep the overall weight limited to 50 ton or below.
As you'd rightly pointed out for Serbian M-85AS1, subsystem upgrade can cost more than the tank... as it is not the hunk of steel that raises the cost in modern tanks.upgrading electronics is not a big deal.
Superior but not undetectable..It's a mm wave frequency hopping AESA giving it superior LPI characteristics , no need to turn of anything
Ya'll Nibbiars That's the power of the private industry when we are infested with the OFB then what do you expect? When could had the one of the best tanks in the world giving run to the every tank in the world. But we stuck with Videshi Maal. Arjun heavy. MK 2 more heavy. Vijayanta rusting. T 72 Upgrades waiting.It is really depressing that even a small jihadi infested country called Turkey is having better defence industry than us.
our institutions are better than Turkey ,we have more talented people and money but still PRIORTIES.That's the power of the private industry when we are infstead with the OFB then what do you expect?

I wasn't talking about the T-90, but rather a new design altogether.Not necessarily...

Weight increase by 5t would mean changed suspension, changing the tracks, change in rollers & driving gears. Then there's engine & transmission.
But if you just add a box with blowoff panels, behind our T-90's turret that open into the crew compartment, there won't be any significant weight increase.... However, the platform will become dramatically safer, and will also free up space in the hull for maybe an APU.

Dont underestimate them... Turkey's biggest beneficiaries were the NATO countries....It is really depressing that even a small jihadi infested country called Turkey is having better defence industry than us.
It's the Army top brass who are hung up with their below 50 ton bullshat.Why does weight matter if P/W ratio is high enough?? Focus should be on increasing power instead of minimising weight imo..
Imagine installing engine of Buggati which churns out a whopping 1120 HP on a tank
Another consideration should be given to unmanned tanks which will relieve the designers about the safety of the crew....
Sab chutiyapa hy. Tank-Ex was 4man, 47.5t... Just like they wanted.It's the Army top brass who are hung up with their below 50 ton bullshat.
True that, I was just trying to be nice.Sab chutiyapa hy. Tank-Ex was 4man, 47.5t... Just like they wanted.
Nah, its protection is adequate as of now but it's lacking in every other category.Ok, maybe Ruskies doesn't allow it as T-72 upgrade. But what was stopping the choots from building on it as China did?.. Could have gone for new platforms instead of buying 1000 more T-90s with fuckall protection!
What would be the penetration of APFSDS under mango project . Is it meant for T-72 / T-90s current gun/autoloader ?
Well.. atleast Himalayas which might be our primary front in the future would need sub 50 ton tank...It's the Army top brass who are hung up with their below 50 ton bullshat.
Not really.... most of the equipment is being moved fire Kashmir & the Rohtang tunnel.Well.. atleast Himalayas which might be our primary front in the future would need sub 50 ton tank...
Not necessarily. You can bring a 60 ton MBT up there if adequate transportation infrastructure is made available.Well.. atleast Himalayas which might be our primary front in the future would need sub 50 ton tank...
Most bridges in ladakh support tank+trailer = 70 tonsNot really.... most of the equipment is being moved fire Kashmir & the Rohtang tunnel.
At the Himalayas itself the ground is quite hard and their the ranks T/W ratio, gradient climb & gun dipression matters most.
