HEY!!

int he pict of a column of tanks... the third tank back... is that the ellusive "black eagle"??? or are those just REALLY BIG thermal blankets covering most of the tank?

[Ezra Coli]

Magnificent pics! WOW!

Got more???

[RomanS]

Abby(Кингпинович) спасибо за фотки. Офигенные! Рад что наше Русское дело продолжают многие как ты и я.

[Midav]

Nice pics!
Imagine if all us knuckleheads from all countries would finally get together and build military equipment?

I mean, imagine a UK/Israeli/Russian/French/Japanese/US/German etc... fighter? Or tank... ship.....

Man, that would be sweet! Sorry if I'm just ranting, but it's something I think about from time to time.

[GazB]

That picture of the vehicles led by the T-34 is very interesting.

The third vehicle back seems to me to be a new model T-90M with the new thermal sight to replace the AVIA TI. The vehicle behind it seems to have two 30mm cannon plus Anti Tank missiles mounted at the sides plus a large TI above its roof.
Perhaps a variant of the BMP-T?

No, this is T-90.
Fourth tanks in a column is more interesting for you. Look carefully and try to identify what it is :)

[Raistlin]

I give up. What is it?

And where's Javehn when you need him?

[He219]

Why did they use a smoke-screen for the tank column?
;)




Very nice pic's, Abbyy!
:D

It's BMPT .


Why did they use a smoke-screen for the tank column?
And who said it's a smoke-screen ? ;)



Аби , ты КП что ли ?

[wyrm_142]

BMPT
Tank support combat vehicle
Producer: State-owned Enterprise
"Machine Building Plant "Uralvagonzavod"

The BMPT's hull is the same as that of
the T-72 battle tank. It is provided
with explosive reactive armor (ERA) on
the frontal armor plate, ERA-applied
screens to protect side plates, as well
as grilled shields to protect the hull
rear. The welded turret is provided with
a filler and built-in ERA.

The distinguishing feature of the BMPT
combat vehicle is its low-profile turret
mounted on a tank chassis. The turret is
equipped with up-to-date weapons for
defeating antiarmor-capable targets and
enabling tanks to advance, leaving close
antiarmor-capable targets for the BMPT
to take care of. The BMPT crew consists
of five men.

The BMPT armament can effectively defeat
both lightly armored ground and aerial
targets and heavily armored tank-type
ground targets.

Its main armament consists of the 30mm
2A42 automatic gun and coaxially-mounted
AG-30 or AGS-17A grenade launcher
stabilized in two planes, and the Kornet
ATGM system provided with a
semiautomatic jamproof laser-guided
system.

The BMPT is additionally armed with two
AG-30 grenade launchers or two 7.62mm
PKTM machine guns with an
electromechanical drive and a day/night
sight combined with the Agat-MR optronic
sight. The additional weapons are
arranged on fenders.

The turret-mounted 7.62mm machine gun
provided with an electromechanical drive
and the PNK sight serves as an auxiliary
weapon. The BMPT has a built-in dozer
equipment for digging in. The vehicle
can be equipped with the KMT-8 treadway
mine plow and the EMT electromagnetic
device.

A diesel-electric set rated at 5 kW is
installed in an armored compartment on
the right fender.

Modernization of the T-72-type battle
tanks into the BMPT combat vehicle can
change tactics of combat actions and
significantly increase fighting
efficiency of tank units.

Description only though, no pics yet :(
