I think tanks can go close to 50 MPH, at top speed they're only 2-3 hours from the capital - obviously that's extremely unlikely as they cant outrun their support/fuel convoys, etc. They dont stay in the tank 24 hrs day.

KingKolzig Posted February 23, 2022 Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 is there a chance ukraine wont even use military assets? i think they have a pretty good military but really whats the point if no other country is ever coming to help. maybe best case scenario for USA is ukraine does fight hard, takes out 30% of russian military. something like that ukraine surrendering and russia easily taking the entire country would be bad news Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeman Posted February 23, 2022 Author Report Share Posted February 23, 2022 looks like russian tanks have a 3 man crew. T-90S – Main Battle Tank The T-90S is the latest development in the T-series of Russian tanks and represents an increase in firepower, mobility and protection.

The first T-90S tank was delivered to Indian Army in January 2004. Credit: Rosoboronexport. The T-90S is the latest development in the T-series of Russian tanks and offers increase in firepower, mobility and protection. It is manufactured by Uralvagonzavod in Nizhny Tagil, Russia. It entered service with the Russian Army in 1992. In February 2001, the Indian Army signed a contract for 310 T-90S tanks: 124 were completed in Russia and the rest were delivered in ‘knocked down’ form for final assembly in India. The Indian Ministry of Defence placed a $2.8bn contract with the Ordnance Factory Board (OFB) to licence-build 464 additional T-90S tanks at its heavy vehicle factory (HVF), Avadi, for the Indian Army in November 2019. T-90S main battle tank orders and deliveries The first T-90S MBT was delivered to India in January 2004. The locally assembled tanks were christened ‘Bhishma’. The T-90 Bhishma tanks are fitted with the Shtora self-protection system and Catherine thermal imagers from Thales of France and Peleng of Belarus. The first ten Bhishma tanks were inducted into the Indian Army in August 2009. India plans to induce 1,640 T-90 tanks by 2020. In January 2005, it was announced that a further 91 T-90S tanks would be procured for the Russian Army, although this number was later reduced. By November 2007, it was estimated that the Russian Army had around 200 T-90 tanks. In August 2007, Thales was awarded a contract to supply 100 of these with the Catherine FC thermal imager. In March 2006, Algeria signed a contract for the supply of 180 T-90S tanks from Uralvagonzavod. Algeria also placed an order with Uralvagonzavod for the supply of 200 T-90 in kit form in 2014. “The T-90S Russian tank represents an increase in firepower, mobility and protection.” In November 2006, India ordered a further 330 T-90 tanks, which were licence-built by heavy vehicle factory (HVF), Avadi, Tamil Nadu. Uralvagonzavod delivered 44 T-90S tanks to the armed forces of Uganda in 2011. The Greek Cypriot Government approved the purchase of 41 T-90 tanks from Russia in January 2009. In March 2010, the government changed its plans and opted for T-80 tanks over the T-90s. Saudi Arabia placed a $2bn order for helicopters and 150 T-90S MBTs in September 2009. In the same year, Turkmenistan ordered ten T-90S tanks under a $30m contract. In July 2014, the Government of Iraq awarded a $1bn contract to Uralvagonzavod for the supply of 73 T-90S tanks. The Vietnam People’s Army (VPA) placed an order for 64 T-90S MBTs in 2016. The tanks were delivered by Uralvagonzavod between 2018 and 2019. T-90S armament The T-90S armament includes one 125mm 2A46M smoothbore gun that is stabilised in two axes and fitted with a thermal sleeve. The gun tube can be replaced without any dismantling inside the turret. The gun can fire a variety of ammunition, including APDS (Armour Piercing Discarding Sabot), HEAT (high-explosive anti-tank) and HE-FRAG (high-explosive fragmentation), as well as shrapnel projectiles with time fuses. The T-90S gun can also fire the 9M119 Refleks (NATO designation AT-11 Sniper) anti-tank guided missile system. The range of the missile is 100m to 4,000m and takes 11.7 seconds to reach maximum range. It is intended to engage tanks fitted with explosive reactive armour (ERA), as well as low-flying air targets such as helicopters, at a range of up to 5km. The missile system fires either the 9M119 or 9M119M missiles, which have semi-automatic laser beam-riding guidance and a hollow charge warhead. The missile weight is 23.4kg. The guns’ automatic loader will feed both ordnance and missiles. A coaxial 7.62mm PKT machine gun and a 12.7mm air defence machine gun are also fitted. A 5.45mm AKS-74 assault rifle is carried on a storage rack. Self-protection of T-90S The T-90 tank is protected by both conventional armour-plating and explosive reactive armour. It is fitted with the Shtora-1 defensive aids suite, which is produced by Electronintorg of Russia. This system includes infrared jammer, a laser warning system with four laser warning receivers, a grenade discharging system that produces an aerosol screen and a computerised control system. It is also fitted with nuclear, biological and chemical (NBC) protection equipment. Fire control and observation “The T-90S has the 1A4GT integrated fire control system (IFCS) which is automatic but with manual override.” The T-90S uses the 1A4GT integrated fire control system (IFCS), which is automatic but features a manual override for the commander. The IFCS contains the gunner’s 1A43 day fire control system, gunner’s TO1-KO1 thermal imaging sight with a target identification range of 1.2km to 1.5km and commander’s PNK-S sight. A 1G46 day sight / rangefinder with missile guidance channel, 2E42-4 armament stabiliser, 1V528 ballistic computer and DVE-BS wind gauge comprise the gunner’s 1A43 day FCS. A TKN-4S (Agat-S) day / night sight, which has identification ranges of 800m (day) and 700m (night) are included in the commander’s PNK 4S sight. The driver is equipped with a TVN-5 infrared night viewer. T-90S engine The T-90S has a liquid-cooled V-84MS 618kW (840hp) four-stroke V-12 piston engine. This engine can be fuelled by T-2 or TS-1 kerosene and A-72 benzine, in addition to diesel. The tank can carry up to 1,600 litres of fuel in the main fuel tanks and fuel drums. The fuel tanks are reinforced with armour plating. The tank is fitted with a snorkel for deep fording and can ford 5m of water with equipment, which can be deployed in 20 minutes. Primary reduction gear, two planetary final gearboxes and two planetary final drives are included in the mechanical transmission. The running gear features torsion bar suspension with hydraulic shock absorbers at one, two and six road-wheel stations, and tracks with rubber-metallic pin hinges.
