when did we see the running gear and where , i havent seen this and i need to see some sort of end product of the mystery tank known as t-95!

Coalition uses a T-95 chassis. You know the 152mm artillery vehicle with the two guns mounted one above the other.

Stop teasing! But seriously now, 3rd T-90 to hit service? Does MoD even care to have 3 different T-90 with different capabilities at once?

Soviet tanks were updated all the time... they have a long history of updating tanks on a very regular basis... older tanks getting upgrades during overhauls so pictures of really old models become rare as they are updated during their service life.

Besides there are not a huge number of T-90s in Russian service so an upgrade that might unify some of its systems with the new T-95 makes sense... a bit like the Mi-28N bits being used to upgrade the Hinds... gives the new stuff more field experience earlier to work out bugs. And also increases production to reduce costs overall and optimises production and repair and training.

Journalist visited Russian army shooting range with some Army SF guys:

So the Russian army has 2 patterns of woodland digi camouflage? Because if I am not mistaken, this isn't the same green digi pattern that is in this forum in previous photos. Anymore info on it btw?

Why stand the men behind the target ? O.o

Why stand the men behind the target ? O.o

According to LJ link:
"Допустим, Вам надо уничтожить противника, стоящего в толпе. Инструктор поставил моего товарища прямо за мишенью, а сам отошел не несколько метров и убрал пистолет в кобуру. Затем он резко сделал несколько прыжков вперед, выхватил пистолет, приседая на одно колено, и произвел 3 выстрела в голову. Мой товарищ остался жив, а в мишени появилось 3 новых дырки..."

For example you must kill the enemy standing in the crowd. The instructor put my friend behind the target, made a couple of steps backwards and put his gun in to holster. Then he made couple of jumps (or leaps - I don't clearly know the difference) ahead, took out his gun and while getting down on one of his knees he has made three shots in a head. My friend stayed alive and the target got three new holes...


Something like this. Sorry for my English. And yes, this is my first post here ) I love this thread. A lot of reposts though..

I know this question has probably been asked but has the Army decided to mount any Arena protection systems on T-90s or has decided not to due to safety for infantry riding on the tank?

Ok, Hi people, watched and read stuff on this great site for a log time and now have something to bring in - not that great but still.
This is a russian reconnaissance unit I served in, Abhazia, 2008, my pics, most taken in Kodori rift.

Landing from Mi-8; another one; riding a BTR; radioman; captured ordnance - LOADS of that stuff was there; AGS; a friend in a mask; combat position - doesn't look too fortified but that's just hours after we deployed to the place; burned M4; M-249 - our officiers were giving this to us when they wanted additional firepower and no Pecheneg MGs were available; a map; airfield; "former georgian" school we used to train some CQC skills; georgian landscape model; abhazian army soldiers; an abhaz soldier having fun with a captured MG.

I never saw infantry riding on T-90

Thx!
Don't know what AN/PVS-7 is, but there is a BN night vision binocular there, I think that's what you think of.

And of political bs - it's always around us, I never do

Mi-26 and Ka-52s in formation - one of the most impressive Russian aviation photos I've seen in recent times!
