Uralvagonzavod delivering T-90M tanks to armed forces

-

Uralvagonzavod (part of the Concern "Uralvagonzavod" is part of the State Corporation Rostec) sent a batch of T-90M "Proryv" tanks to the customer.



The T-90M tank was developed by the Ural Design Bureau of Transport Engineering (as part of the Uralvagonzavod Concern, part of the Rostec State Corporation). It is the most advanced machine in the T-90 family and the most adapted to action in the conditions of modern combat, including due to the presence of all-angle protection, modern all-day highly automated fire control system and the implementation of measures to increase survivability. 

The T-90M is significantly superior in combat effectiveness to its predecessor, the T-90, but it retains its advantages, such as exceptional reliability and minimal maintenance during operation.

The T-90M tank is equipped with a new combat turret module with a powerful 125 mm tank gun, which provides the use of new high-power ammunition, as well as a guided missile that allows you to destroy enemy tanks at a range of up to 5 km. Significantly increased the security of the machine, increasing the internal reserved volume, which allowed to place the newly introduced equipment and improve the working conditions of the crew.
 

The high-speed characteristics of the T-90M tank, fuel efficiency and power reserve, including at extremely high ambient temperatures, are provided by a diesel engine with a capacity of 1130 hp produced by ChTZ-URALTRAK LLC (part of the UVZ Concern is part of the Rostec State Corporation).

The combination of high combat and technical characteristics allows the crew of the T-90M tank to effectively conduct combat operations at any time of the day, in various climatic conditions and to achieve success in the confrontation with the most modern types of weapons.

"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
