Preparation for combat.

The action of the gunner-operator in preparation for firing in the daytime with standard weapons and the installation of the operator's console


The action of the gunner-operator in preparation for shooting during the day with standard weapons.


At the command of the tank commander to prepare for firing or independently after loading ammunition, the gunner-operator performs the following actions.


Turn on the switches on the gunner's console in the following order:


Toggle switches Top row:

  • Ballistics computer (2nd on the left) Converter (4th on the left)

Bottom row toggle switches:

  • Rangefinder (1st on the left)

  • Autoloader (3rd on the left)


After that, the gunner reports to the commander on the readiness for battle. and the gunner begins to monitor the appearance of targets.

Installation of the operator console.

  1. While holding the remote control (2), connect the plug connectors (1) and (6), secure them with the cap nuts.


  1. Install the remote control (2) on the pre-made rivet nut and secure it with bolts with flat and spring washers. Wire the cap nuts of the plug connectors.


  1.  Turn on the battery switch and check the readiness of the remote control for operation, for which the corresponding switches are turned on and off sequentially, while the luminous inscriptions on the display should light up and go out.


  1. Check the display of the label PALLET: 


  • Disable AUTOLOADER ELECTRICAL. DESCENT on the right distributor, on the control panel and turn it on again


  • Turn on switch 3, perform an automatic charging cycle


  • Turn on the GUN STOP switch on the Autoloader control panel


  • Open the wedge, after which the glowing label PALLET should light u


  • Press the button of the catcher lock switch with your hand, the illuminated label should go out.

"AGAVA" - "AGAVA-2" and its confusing history

When covering Soviet sight technology there are always some interesting designs and approaches to solving an issue. It is a common fact that the Soviet Union in the 1980s-1990s was quite behind in thermal sight technology. Only in the 1990s, but to be specific in 1992, the Soviet Union now Russia started to field small batches of thermal sights on their tanks, primarily T-80Us and some of the early T-90 variants, which just recently entered service. Russia's journey through creating its own domestic thermal sight traces back to 1982.  The 1980s were quite an important time for the 'Krasnogorsk Factory named after S.A Zverev', which is still to date an Optical Engineering and Optoelectronics factory. The factory is primarily known for making domestic Soviet cameras back in the day. However, that's not the only thing that the factory has produced back then.  Close to the mid-1980s, the facility was contracted to develop new thermal sight technology for the Soviet Ministry

GTD-1000 - GTD-1000TF - GTD-1250 Gas Turbine Engines

The world's first mass-produced tank gas turbine engine GTD-1000T was created at the Klimov Plant in 1968 for the T-80 main battle tank developed By the special tank design Bureau of the Kirov plant (now JSC "Spetsmash"), which was adopted by the Soviet Army in 1976. Since 1980, a modification of the GTD‑1000TF for T-80B/BV tanks was produced, since 1986 a modification of the GTD-1250 for T-80U tanks.  GTD-1250 Engines of the GTD-1250 family as part of the power plants of T-80 tanks are in service with the armies of Russia, Belarus, Cyprus, South Korea, Kazakhstan. Turbine engine GTD-1000T/GTD-1250, which have a large volume-weight  capacity and a more favourable traction characteristic compared to diesel engines, provide T-80 tanks with interesting characteristics: - higher operational readiness - easy start-up at low temperatures (up to -40°C) - better cross-country ability on soils with a low load-bearing capacity - best noise and heat-masking qualities - increased &qu

A new sight for the modernized T-90

  Back in 2018, a new programme was started. This programme's focus is to create domestic equipment for Russian armoured vehicles, specifically optics. This is so that the Russian army can stop depending on the french company "Thales" and their Catherine technology. T-72B3 received new internal components for the Sosna-U sight, phasing out any foreign components. As for the T-90M/T-90MS, something else was done. Previously, the T-90M/T-90MS employed the Sosna-U sight, which featured french components from Thales. However, the internals of the sight was not simply replaced. This time, a completely new domestic sight was created under the name PNM-T. The sight was reportedly made by the PJSC ANPP TEMP-AVIA in 2018 or 2019. The first appearance was in the Telekanal Zvezda show, during the episode about the Proryv-3 (T-90M). In this episode, a new plaque can be seen with the name of the sight. Its first public physical appearance, however, was at the Army-2019 event. The doo
