A Can of Man
Je suis aware
The tank version of the PAK-FA
Obviously? What makes it so obvious?obviously its gonna be good
So its going to be good or cheaply mass produced? Decide buddy.but more than anything it'll be made to be cheap for mass production
Do you even know how much specific variants cost and what are the costs of utilisation and maintence to make a comment like that?the abrams IS good but it costs way too much to buy and to maintain
No there's not, sometime in the 80s and 90s a group of armchair generals in official positions postulated that a tank is becoming obsolete, then the Desert Storm came and forced them all to STFU.still theres the everpresent question about the role of the tank in the modern battleifeld
Do you have any proof of this?Kontakt-5 does not defeat DUs
ok, lets not forget that untill the abrams and the leopard, the western world could not produce a good tank, the russians dominated the field until the abrams, also quantity has a quality all its own, if a T-90 costs 2 million and a abrams cost 6, and they abrams has a k/d ratio of say 2.3, then they still won the war. The germans made this very clear in ww2, the americans and the russians had more tanks, and even though the tiger had a bigger gun and more armor, the russian and americans, mostly the russians, won. Also the costs figures were just me making them up, i dont know the real ones.
Where exactly did this come from? If you are talking quantity cant remember figures off hand but roughly Abrams in service = all T-72 80 90 currently in service. Yes there are more in storage what state are they in, how long till actually servicable & how old is the gear fitted on them.
More realisticly the best weapon Russia has is artillery they might be able to strip away TI ect with it leveling the playing field a bit.
In a one shot kill enviroment he who sees first wins so FCS TI are a big factor as proven vs aging T-72s though training of there tank crews was beyond belief.
Can't see it ever happening anyway yes I think its fair to say in the coldwar the advantage swung back & forth though logisticaly how Russia could have ever sustained an attack is beyond me.
Now the gap just grows wider simply looking at Military spending figures US nearly outstrips the rest of the world combined. That said dont knock the Russians they develop some good tech would even say world leaders in some areas at times. But West seems able to catch up faster & Russia never fields in numbers that will make a diffrence anyway.
If & when they develop a new tank they will make what 30 or so a year in all probability & introduce yet another logistics headache
If it turned into a real war would not the West do the same, cost per unit is not really a factor more build time & the faciltys to do it plus of course crew. All irelevant anyway untill they can get a measure of control in the sky I would say Russian SAMs are not to be sniffed at but they have the same problem in the air. Few planes flying & my guess would be if you cant afford to keep the planes in the air you cant do much training either its expensive.true but in war, the russian would devert all of their economy to the war effort, evening the playing a little, but yes, the russian are in horrible economic times, but their improving
Assuming 8 cylinders thats 800 less 12 cylinders 1200 etc are you sure sounds a lot.this new engine has 100 fewer parts per cylinder than the Detroit Diesel Corp, Series 92, two cycle engine
You're not aware of absolutely anything which is why i pointed out that your post isutter bollocks.Firstly, I don't know where you get the idea Russia can't fund it's military equipment. Without even trying to find out what is going on in Russia these days, I'm aware of the following big budget matters and these really are big budget items.
Its also the only one active out of 4.Of the 4 Kirov Class Heavy Missile Cruisers, 1, "Peter the Great" is still active,
If you mean "Admiral Nakimov" then its in "refit and modernisation" since 2005 and it doesnt look like its leaving the drydock anytime soon due to lack of funds.a 2nd is in a ship yard undergoing refit and modernisation
Yeah? Where will they get a new reactor to replace Lazarevs current one? How will they finance it to begin with?and General Popov announced late last year, the MoD was looking at bring a 3rd unit back into service, the status of the 4th is unknown.
You do realise how many times Russia announced building the Black Eagle? They're either building one or none, even Russia needs money to build stuff.Russia has announced it intends building six new missile class submarines to be completed between 2014 and 2017, these are expressly to be armed with the new high velocity nuclear capable cruise missiles.
Russia already withdrew from purchasing French ships due to (as always) lack of money and Brahmos? You mean the mighty missile that took 8 years to develop and has only 1/9 the range of a Tomahawk?You are aware of the BrahMos joint venture in which India is jointly developing both supersonic and hypersonic cruise missiles for the Russian and Indian armed forces? The budgets are in the hundreds of millions of dollars. Oh and you might also be aware of the controversy over Russia’s interest in purchasing up to 4 of the French built assault and Support Vessels, at a cost in the billions of dollars?

Go for it champ prove it, this should be almost as much fun as when you claimed people need tactical nukes to destroy T-90 tanks))Incidentally, this idiot, originated the concept of the hydraulically amplified unit fuel injection systems, commonly known as Hydraulic Electronic Unit Injection (HEUI) systems, as used by Caterpillar, Ford, Navistar, etc. and can prove it, and this is arguably, the most advanced diesel fuel injection system currently available. Nobody has ever refuted this claim; not to shabby for an “idiot”. Incidentally, I’ve held as many as 17 patents in my time, and just to put you in the picture, HEUI is a sub-system of the Advanced Hydraulic Engine, originally proposed for development as the power plant within Chiorny Oriol, the program for the Next Generation Main Battle Tank of the Russian Army.
Yeah on account of there not existing a T-95 tank.To all you tankers out there, wise up. The first time you confront a T-95, you’re going to get a hell of a nasty surprise,
