Something like this?

From this angle...


Damian do have the photo of T-90MS interior where putin was siting just like in Arjun here.. ?

 

[Damian]

Kunal, this will work for You?

Do you have same for M1A2, Just like this one..

 

[Damian]

Did I not post M1A2SEP TC position above?

I can assure You that basic M1A2 is not much different, only CITV and IVIS displays are different than integrated CITV - FBCB2 display.

Anyways, Thanks for the effort..

There is some thing odd about these pictures..

The MFD one is of updated Type-99, Where is the other one is older..

It seems that Abrams and T90 have significantly less cluttered commander's station than Arjun. But Abrams is the least cluttered from the pics.

In the workplace the less cluttered and well-arranged the place is the less stressful it is for the workers (usually translating to greater productivity). I don't know if this observation should apply to tanks...

T-90S & T-80U have much smaller space..

It does matter ....

Well organized and better man machine Interface enhance crew fighting ability, Just like in fighter aircraft..

Another thing is the lack of integrated microphone for the Arjun Commander. He has to hold a handset to communicate. I hope this is just for this particular tank and all the rest are equipped with integrated tank helmet for ease of communications (very important in very tense situation when the commander have to monitor the area, make decisions, communicate with his crew and communicate with friendly forces outside the tank or other tank commanders at quick successions or simultaneously. Maybe they should also have noise cancelling earsets...

M1A2 and M1A2SEP with new ICWS (Improved Commander Weapon Station) cupola also seems to have best short range observation capabilities for commander due to large periscopes covering whole 360 degrees.

As for crew personall equipment. I wonder why Indians still use such... old fashioned stuff. It is not close to US MSS crew equipment with CVC ballistic helmet, IBA/IOTV ballistic vest, integrated cooling equipment, nomex uniform, nomex protection for face, hands and inside boots.


Also Russians have new equipment for crews, called "Cowboy" (yeah I know, WTF? ).

Gur Khan attacks!: Российские танкисты получат "ковбойскую" экипировку

As Militarysta proved to me, even Germans started to use CVC helmets and ballistic vests for their vehicles crews, so why Indian army do not try to increase vehicle crew survivability this way?

T-90S inside..

 

[Damian]

Kunal, Russian army do not use T-90S, because T-90S is for export. If I'am correct this is tank with welded turret and newer electronics package, then it is T-90A.

My bad, It should have T-90A inside..

It is interesting how much space is occupied inside by cupola gearbox and electric traverse motor. I like the idea of such armed cupola, but it is outdated in times where You can replace it with RWS and standard cupola like ICWS in M1A2/M1A2SEP provides better all around short range visibility.

Hello to all

It is interesting how much space is occupied inside by cupola gearbox and electric traverse motor. I like the idea of such armed cupola, but it is outdated in times where You can replace it with RWS and standard cupola like ICWS in M1A2/M1A2SEP provides better all around short range visibility.

You should remember that ability to use such remotedly operated weapon (from within tank) was present in Soviet tanks for 30 years already (T-80UD and T-90) while Abrams lacked this ability until very recently (last two years) :cool2:

In addition, system they use, CROWS-2 (Kongsberg, Norway) is more bulky and heavier

Than Sovien analogue (operated throught TKN-4S)
