DefenceDog: Bright Future "Dinosaur" T-95 Tank
Abstracts from article:
Abstracts from article:
- Machine Ural KB under the symbol "object 195" quickly became known as the T-95.Information about the new tank was very sketchy, in fact, many then believed that the T-95 is only a paper project with no real future. However, in 2008-2009, spread information that the T-95 built and runs the state tests
- What kind of gun mounted on T-95 is uncertain, but apparently it is a 152-mm smoothbore gun / launcher high ballistics. Placing such a weapon on the tank were worked in Soviet times (eg Leningrad "object 292).Increasing the caliber main armament is dictated by the need to ensure a reliable lesion of both existing and prospective enemy armored vehicles, including with regard to their possible upgrade.
- T-95 is built on a new layout and features an uninhabited tower. The crew of three (possibly two) people located in bronekapsule* separated from the tower and the autoloader. This arrangement, first, sharply reduces the frontal projection of the tank, especially in its most beaten the top, which makes the car trudnouyazvimoy**. Secondly, significantly increases the chances of crew survival in case of effective hitting. Third, the desert tower facilitates large-caliber gun equipped tank.
- Looking ahead, we note that it gives the principal advantage of the T-95 over the prospective Western project, which will continue to place the ammunition in the turret, which increases its size compared to the tower T-95 and increases the likelihood of immediate destruction of the tank when hit in a compartment of ammunition.
- Detection system and target is an optical, thermal imaging, infrared channels. In addition, it will include a laser range finder and radar. Information about the environment will be displayed on the screens, which will create the effect of "seeing through the armor."
- Commenting on the expert, we can assume that demand for high levels of crew protection in conjunction with the development of a new platform for unified as tanks and heavy infantry fighting vehicles means, apparently, save the crew in a separate armored capsule, as in "object 195", as well as modular layout. Depending on the destination machine on the platform can be found fighting compartment of the tank with the weapons or else would take his place fighting and troop compartments BMP.
