Not ...Looks good on film indeed, but functionality? Not so much.<br /><br />This new design from the old Sov system fails in the same way as the old failed failures in old Sov tank design.<br /><br />The smallness and low silhouette was intended to make it harder to hit. That's non-op since with the current crop of anti tank missiles and tank gun accuracy, you can't make em small enough to make a diff.<br /><br />So, what they end up with is a tank that is so horribly cramped inside for the crew, that crew fatigue is a HUGE problem.<br /><br />Another issue stapled onto any and all forces using Russian vehicles is, they're guaranteed to be stuck with a horribly inefficient, incompetent and fragile logistics and repair system.<br /><br />My only sadness in seeing this new geewhizery from the Ruskies, is that as an old anti-tank type grunt, I'll never get to blow one up.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11199711818518754496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719362718346107647.post-58247632524463723122009-11-21T01:30:02.664-05:002009-11-21T01:30:02.664-05:00You're teasing me, right?

Uralvagonzavod...You're teasing me, right?<br /><br />===<br /><br />Uralvagonzavod is the only operational tank factory the Russians have left. It can't keep up with production demands for the export T-90's (which are little more then hot rodded T-72’s).<br /><br />One of my sources mentioned about six months ago that the almost dormant Kirov Works in St. Petersburg is packed to the gills with immobile T-80’s, lacking spare parts.<br /><br />Omsk Transmash which produced the prototype Black Eagle went bankrupt in 2002.<br /><br />When (and if) 4th Guards "Kantemirovskaya" Tank Division in the Moscow district is equipped with Item 195 tanks or anything other then T-80’s then we’ll know for certain.<br /><br />Otherwise and until then, this is typical Russian arms propaganda. It looks good on film though.<br /><br />TIGER<br />TIGER,<br />RRenderhttp://render64.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6719362718346107647.post-21865956203571465442009-11-20T03:17:31.012-05:002009-11-20T03:17:31.012-05:00Now that's a tank!Now that's a tank!mauryk2https://www.blogger.com/profile/08525757702110878870noreply@blogger.com
