It more or less confirms that heavy platform "Armata" will have two hull variants with powerpack at rear and front. Which is a good idea IMHO. It is more efficent that 100% unification with powerpack only at rear or front.

You confused designations.

"Kontakt-5" use 4S22 reactive elements, "Relikt" use 4S23 reactive elements, "Kontakt-1" use 4S20 reactive elements, 4S24 are new reactive elements for lightweight ERA (not heavy universal like "Kontakt-5" and "Relikt").

I added 1 to the designations?

Need to note this down.

@Kunal Biswas, even Alexey Khlopotov (not exactly a great source, I know) has claimed that it is probably a photoshopped image, so let it go.

mbt 2000 vs type-96, turret side angle difference

@methos, can you explain how good is HY-80 steel if used as turret side protection?

 

[Kunal Biswas]

Turret is same for the other one ..

In fact the turret is allmost the same, difference is in details like TC cupola.

What differential is there between the Vickers Mark 7 and the Mark 7 / 2 ?


It seems that the Mk 7 / 2 does not use the Universal Turret previously used on the first Vickers Mk 7 and the previous Vickers Mk 4 Valiant who had an aluminium hull.

Is this a T-72 based IFV?

This is not IFV or Infantry Fighting Vehicle. BMPT means Боевая машина поддержки танков which translates in to Tank Support Fighting Vehicle.

And no, it is based on T-90 hull, however I am sure that due to similarities between T-72 and T-90 (which is further evolution of T-72), BMPT can be builded on T-72 hull.
