Even a T-55A could penetrate rear of M1A2 Abrams in ideal ambush. Point is combat is more than just stat numbers.

@@Tankliker the new t90m variant can protect itself from modern apdfs, finally comparable to modern western tank stnadards, although still not as amazing like them. And yes, Russia intends to upgrade all the T90A to T90m standard. This is because T90m is designed as a "tweaking" of T90A body. So that is the reason why T90A can be modified. Actually, the armoured carousel already exists in t90a, but not as good as t90m ofc. When 30 T90M was being produced, 10 of them were factory made while the other 20 was made by upgrading T90A. However, I am not sure if T90 can be upgraded to T90M since the jump is huge. Russia says " they will upgrade all the T90 tanks to T90M standards."

Thats why the use the 360° field of view with independent commander sight and so on... The armor packages on the sides and rear of the tank are also important for the protection aspect. All that is a trend , which we can observe in all other nations too. That is a real important development in tank history.

It's about space, human loader requires more space to work. More space = bigger tank = heavier tank= need more armor, bigger engine and transmission, more fuel = costs lot more money.

[@RedEffectChannel]

Including some Armata tech into it would have been too expensive, but yes T-90M practically is T-90SM

[@alanch90]

At least T-90M has its base armor improved or is it just an upgrade in the ERA area?

[@RedEffectChannel]

T-90M has the same armor as T-90A, only difference is implementation of Relikt package

[@RedEffectChannel]

As I said, it is too expensive, but Arena APS can be mounted on any Russian tank, but no tank has it in active service, the new gun is not mounted because current T-90A to T-90M upgrade does not require any gun change, so it is far cheaper and quicker to not implement the new gun, the gun of T-90M is good enough to deal with most threats.

[@jaykilbourne1110]

Nope. Go actually research the tank. You'll find it was mostly superior to anything NATO had that wasn't a Leopard 2, Challenger Mk.1 or an Abrams. Event those tanks early tungsten sabot rounds would have struggled with a T-72A's turret at longer ranges (+750m) The T-72Bs turret had the Soviet equivalent to Chobham armor and was far tougher. In addition; the early 120mm HEAT rounds available in the 1980's for the L44 were not powerful enough to penetrate either tanks frontal turret cheeks. They tested this on acquired East German T-72As after the iron curtain collapsed in the 1990's.

Ok so the way I see it the T80BVM is probably a pretty good idea. T80BVM is going to be a fast and maneuverable alternative to the less mobile T90A or T90M, and it will also cost less than T90M because much less work is put into the modernization while still putting in necessary features like 2nd gen thermal and the modern auto loader. The lack of CITV may be a problem, but M1A1 did very well in the gulf spotting targets at over 2 km without CITV and communication between units with CITV and without could offset the disadvantage. Also, I'm pretty sure Russia has a LOT of T80BVs because the soviet union wanted it to become their main MBT, but I could be wrong about that.

Too bad they didn't allow tank commander to use the HMG from inside and not implementing any "hard kill" system is strange since Russia pioneered them...

[@RedEffectChannel]

Hard kill is too expensive for mass production, it is implemented on T-14 but T-14 is already a premium tank. But that does not mean they will never mount Arena on the new tanks, since Arena was designed to be universal for Russian tanks.

[@matovicmmilan]

Thank you!Also it's good that the army decided to incorporate BMPT vehicles cause I see them as very useful!Back in 1991 during the battle of Vukovar we lost 100+ tanks & other armor due to lack of infantry support but lightly armored SPAAGs had more success! I am not sure if you are familiar with these events, but anyway, what do you think about BMPT?

[@RedEffectChannel]

BMPT is excellent, it is designed to take on everything, even Attack Helicopters, two 30mm autocannons, 4 ATGMs and armor of a tank

T-90M is on the same level as Leo2A5, maybe 2A6 I think.

The T 80 bvm is a monster, the ukos are terrified of them, one of the reasons why Germany has not sent the ukos leopards is cause the germans dont want the world to see a russian T 80 wiping out a leopard 2

[@ivannegrozny5388]

@@birdman9860 Well turns out he was wrong. The leopard's true enemy is artillery, mines and drones, they didn't even manage to engage any T-80s.

[@TheDemigans]

The Carl Gustav, a 1940’s design, already destroyed T80’s and T90’s. This shows that the upgraded armor isn’t half as good as its claimed to be. With that in mind, what else isn’t that good about this tank? Also considering the poor performance of Russia, and the fact that Leopards are now in Ukraine, we can see these fight one another at some point. Assuming the Russian vehicles dare attack rather than sit behind their lines, or get destroyed by drones and artillery before they get there. So far the Western vehicles are mostly recoverable and the crew survived when hit by these. The T80’s and T90’s not so much.

Are you sure for the autoloader protection on the t90m ? Because I read that somewhere (will try to find where) that the autoloader protection was only in the t90ms not in the t90m

[@TheRagingStorm98]

SpookyTheCat T90M is basically on par with the MS model now.

[@lostinthesauce6409]

i saw the T-80 autoloader. it reloades the shell in 4 sec!. i am i wrong?

[@la-zrider2749]

Depends on the position of the shell.

[@jaroslavdudas7227]

T-90m and T-14 armata are the best!

[@simulatedpilot3441]

Did the BVM at least get protected ammo storage for the auto loader rack like the T90 she needs blast doors and same optics of T90m to fight Western tanks bet she would take more losses compared to T90m

[@elusive6119]

T-80BVM is the equivalent of T-72B3, modernization for minimal costs. In the future, they will be upgraded to T-80UA-1 with welded towers, like the T-90M analog

[@spookythecat3055]

Please do a videa on Leclerc attempt 1

[@aa1944-k2r]

can someone correct me if I am wrong, the T90MS is the first Russian tank to get a CITV? and putting the ammo at the back of the turret with blast door make the T90MS much better in terms of survivability (in my opinion) than the lets say latest chinese tanks like type99a and VT4. This is one of the design I really like. sorry and my second question is how do we classify second gen and third gen thermal viewer? how many tanks now have third gen CITV?? thanks.

[@nicolas8098]

first generation thermal imagers are referred to have basically only one larger detector, with a mechanical scan creating a "2D" image second generation thermal imagers already have a few dozen detector elements, and their mechanical scanner can also create "deeper" images the third generation devices have a two dimentional arrays of detectors and usually have way higher resolutions. Some 3rd generation modules also don't have to use any scanning mech at all

[@EcchiRevenge]

Since when does T-90A store ammo in turret?

[@papastalin6700]

Interesting how these tanks stack up in reality. Not as impressive as on the pamphlet!

[@jebise1126]

even more impressive. ukraine had several hundred tanks and they were provided with many thousand anti tank weapons... so yeah russian tanks did pretty good job

[@thephoenix756]

Literally only 6 T-90M tanks have been destroyed in the war

[@zackenfeild3959]

Are the exposed sights and imaging systems bullet proof? Cause they are just asking to get shot.

They do have backup sights tho, idk that but could be

What seems so special about them is that, whenever they are actually involved in a shooting war, they never seem to fare well. Of course this is always due to be "mishandled".

@@rodgerbane3825 the T-90M has so far fared pretty well, with only two confirmed losses. So is the T-80BVM, in fact the T-80BVM captured by the Ukrainians has destroyed many Russian armored vehicles.

[@Insert-Retarded-Reply-Here]

And you also seem to be claiming they aren’t being mishandled. Do you even read anything about this war? They *are* being mishandled, the crew are often poorly trained, no morale, unclear objectives, poor leadership, a stupid attempt to blitz kyiv without air or infantry support and causing a traffic jam of tanks on the roads in the process. No tank no matter how good they are fares well without being implemented properly in combined arms warfare. Of course the Russians seem to be learning their lesson and the battle performance of these vehicles reflects that

[@rodgerbane3825]

@@Insert-Retarded-Reply-Here The point stand that this will hurt Russia's arms sales and when their equipment goes up against Western stuff, it tends not to do real well.
