Smoke screen can cover other tanks in the line. Tank also has smoke grenades as cover.@ 33:00 wow look at that smoke screen! Did not know their was such a thing for tank protection.
Does that mean that rn Pak imports engines from Ukraine for the AK1 tanks? I was under the impression that Pak would be producing those engines under license since Pak is going to be making hundreds of AKs more(as well as those already made).the army needs to indigenize to decrease cost and put money back into the economy
time to build a homegrown engine and transmission..its doable, or partner with another country as JV or at least a license production..just look at India its been doing that despite all the civilian red tape..that doesn't exist as army has a strong hold on the country here
there is always a mechanism whereby diesel is sprayed into the tank's engine exhaust, which then produces this smoke screen.@ 33:00 wow look at that smoke screen! Did not know their was such a thing for tank protection.
Ukrainian tank spotted at U.S. Army Yuma Proving Ground

A satellite image has recently emerged on military online forums showing what appears to be Soviet-era T-72 main battle tanks at U.S. Army Yuma Proving Grounds, one of the largest military installations in the world.
The military expert from Nowa Technika Wojskowa, Damian Ratka drew attention that the Ukrainian T-80U also stood in line with Soviet main battle tanks.
”Well look what I have found. At Yuma Proving Grounds, among many T-72’s stored there, I found one of the 4 purchased by the U.S. from Ukraine in 2004 T-80UD/T-84 tanks,” Ratka said on Twitter.
In 2003, the U.S. Government obtained four T-80UD main battle tanks from Ukraine. The four T-80UD tanks arrived at the U.S. Army Aberdeen Test Center throughout December 2003 and January 2004.
The T-80UD is a Ukrainian variant of a T-80U main battle tank, fitted with a diesel engine in place of the high performance gas turbine. Also, this version of the tank is equipped with the Knife explosive reactive armour (ERA).
About 500 T-80UD tanks were built in the Malyshev plant in Kharkiv between 1987 and 1999. Pakistan, countering India’s adoption of the Russian T-90, bought almost 320 Ukrainian T-80UDs for its main armoured corps of the Pakistani Army.

No.Is this the upgraded one with rws
All T 80s were built to operate with the hatch closed, hence all have 12.7 mm rws. Gun can be controlled by both the gunner and commander.But the machine gun can be operated with hatch closed.
There is no solution but ramping up AK-1 production. No UDs available anywhere.
