Main Battle Tanks and Armour Technology

[Kunal Biswas]

This has to be worked out in great detail in practice, It would be lucky to find a static Arjun MK1 to do the necessary assessment ..

effect of height increase (increased silhouette of the vehicle) can be mitigated to a large extent by the employment of stealth shaping of the RCWS.
plus appropriate paint job will also help in obstructing identification in visual /IR region.

the 2nd point seems valid , but the real impact if any will be ascertained during design , then necessary structural and design changes can be made to cater to the required angle of gun depression

Chinese Type-96B battle tank (a new tank in the Type-96 family) just broke down on the «Tank biathlon» competition at Alabino training field in Russia.

“The Type-96B is the strongest variant of the Type-96 family and is truly an advanced, third-generation main battle tank,” Gao Zhuo, a Shanghai-based military analyst, told state-controlled China Daily newspaper.

LOL...I was very surprised that this year's Russian Tank biathlon would be mentioned in this way on DFI ...
I almost thought that Indian didn't know or care the 15 days long Armygame 2016 of Russia although IA took part in two events of games including Tank biathlon for the third year...the game began in late July

http://eng.armygames2016.mil.ru/page190577.html

with 840hp T72B3 , all the three Indian Crews of IA team performed very stable in the first stage -INDIVIDUAL RACE better than the earlier two years... the team ranked 4th in all 17 teams and all crews were in top 15...

but as usual, the IA team couldn't advanced further for the top 4 after the semi-final ranking 6th...BTW, the Russian team finished at around 1H50M in the live broadcast, but somehow 11 minutes was 'erased' on the official score table...LOL...IA team was in the same group with Russian competing in the 3rd Semi-final race.

-------------
back to the Type 96B .this latest varient was created by this Tank Biathlon ....LOL...the PLA Army found the 780hp Type 96A can't compete with 840hp T72B3 and Russian team's 1130 hp T72B3M in 'racing'of the past two years. then the 617 factory began this new project with the 1000hp new power pack ,improved Fire control.etc...

with this new tank, the PLA Army team won the first place in first stage and two crews topped in all 54 crews...'Type 96B' was not officially certificated yet, but with this performance in the event this new model might got further order from the Army and would be saled as VT-2A tank in the international market...

this accident was the only machinery fault of Type 96B in all 5 events...so called penalty was just the time for the crew waiting for the backup tank to drive close for switch...but the crew drove the '11 wheels' tank back to the starting point and switch there. PLA team finished in the 2nd place again (3rd in 2014, 2nd in 2015)...Russian: 1h34m25s vs PLA: 1h36m40s...

the accident was really not at good time point..LOL..

if you are really interested in the game , here are the most of records of the events...

Its a t-72, not the t-90. Notice the K-1 ERA blocks on the turret and hull.

Military-technical potential of tanks
The military-technical potential of Ukrainian T-84 BM Oplot-Т exceeds obsolete Russian demonstrator prototype tank T-90MS Tagil and Chinese export tank VT-4 (MBT-3000). Ukrainian T-84 BM Oplot-Т is among the ten most powerful tanks in the world.
In more detail coefficients of military-technical level of main battle tanks to watch here
