NERO:
I have already stated that I know nothing when it comes to naval type platforms, if you post in that section of the web site I will read any information that you post on Russian submarines.

I know where this little black duck would rather be standing.
Power Electrics in an MBT tank that is operational, apart from being no longer water tight due to loss of hull integrity or simply a damaged seal, sounds like a recipe for disaster if theres any water about.
Don't get me wrong, I love electronics, but if theres a robust alternative in a combatant platform, throw away those electronics and stick with the solid stough.

I am quite sure that moisture was taken into consideration when this concept started being evaluated. Anyways there is another Russian general shooting his mouth off and stating that a new Russian designed tank will start being produced for the Russian army in 2009, we have to waite and see.
