If Relikt can be mounted on the turret of T-72, I don't see why they don't mount it T-90. I suppose it is either not needed or money is any issue.

Of course it's money. In serial production Relikt won't be more expensive then K-5, but retooling the factory will cost some millions which nobody wants to spend. T-90 wil be delivered with K-5 at least as long the soviet machines in the K-5 prodline still work.

But they will eventually have to switch to more advanced ERAs especially with the planned introduction of the T-95 in the next following years. If they are reluctant to upgrade their production lines at present then the new T-95 might as well end up using the old K-5.

If I had to guess, I'd say Relikt ERA is likely to be introduced when the next version of the T-90 (T-90B? T-90M? T-90U?) is introduced- we all know that in some ways the Rogatka upgrade for the T-72B and T-80B was superior to the T-90A - particularly in terms of its ERA coverage and it's muzzle reference system.

2S6M1 Tunguska-M1

I'm confused. I thought that the Tunguska-M1 designator was already used for the model on the GM-5975 chassis that entered service several years ago?

!!!!!!!

I understand that it is your life, but... well, I hope you enjoyed it.

[Jippo]

Can anyone explain the weird muzzle break/flash cage on the Tunguska guns?

It is for programmable fuses to set the exploding point.
