Proryv-3 upgrade of the T-90
Some key points thanks to (maybe) inaccurate English subs(Take it with a pinch of Colgate Active salt)
1. 1130 HP(Although the subs say 900+130=1030, did the T-90A have a 900HP motor?)
2. 53 Tonnes
![:lol:]( "Laughing")
3. Still running on the original chassis/suspension(I am assuming as there was no mention on any upgrades and even the rollers looked like old stock)
4. Claims that one tank took half a dozen Javelin hits and dozens of FPV hits but soldiered on.
Credits the workshop level slat add on to stopping FPV hits.
Even saying that it is now standard practice to have these cages on even older T series, in the SMO area.
And hardkill APS Arena-M is mentioned but I don't think they have them on, as the cages might interfere.
5. 6000 Hrs design life(Of the engine I assume)
6. ~100 small and big changes over the previous version(not clear if he meant the Proryv 2 or the actual in service A models)
7.The CPS can see around but not straight up which is a huge compromise, IMO.
I can list off the top of my bheja, quite a few places where MBT Arjun (&1A) is still superior.
Overall seems like a good cheap upgrade to an old(really old) model.
I do have some thoughts on this FPV/Swarm drone thing, where are the Tungushkas?
They are meant to move alongside these and make mincemeat out of these plastic flies.
I had also assumed they that they would make the RCWS slewed to a FC radar to at least give some help but I don't think that is the case.
I would have liked to see a radar controlled M134 type on these, that ammo is cheaper and at close ranges can be the AK-630s/Phalanxs of these lumbering 3 legged Bears.
