🧵The presence of Relikt ERA on the latest T-72B3M could point towards decreasing russian tank stocks.

The thread about the automatic loader and ammo isolation in the USSR tank design.
There is an opinion that the Soviet tank design, unlike the USA and Western Europe, relied on the automatic loader and the placement of non-insulated ammunition in it. But this is not quite true - the USSR tank building is a rather vast subject, where there were different directions of development, some of which became serial, and some remained forgotten projects.
The T-64 layout was successful for its time and surpassed the contemporaries M60, Leopard-1, AMX-30, Chieftain in terms of protection. In the next generation tanks, full ammunition isolation is realized only on the Abrams tank. On other projects 2/3 of the ammunition is not isolated.
The 1st attempt to create a tank with fully insulated ammunition was made in the early 1970s. This was a project known as the "Object 450" or T-74 (https://t.co/RgL9OU2xbG), which was to replace the T-64.
Designer Morozov wrote:
One of the main, in our opinion, drawbacks of the existing "classic design" of the tank, which basically creates all the obstacles to further improvement of its tactical and technical performance, is the imperfection of its combat compartment layout. It resembles a very cramped one-room apartment or a soldier's duffel bag, in which the crew is crammed with weapons, ammunition, various mechanisms, rods, wires and other numerous devices and parts.
In addition, all this is moving, rotating, smoking, a source of noise and injuries, an explosion and fire hazard, creates separation of the crew, makes it difficult to evacuate them from the tank, does not provide elementary conditions for work, habitability and much more.
In the presented layout, the so-called combat compartment of the tank has been fundamentally changed by dividing it into separate, isolated from each other, independent compartments: fuel, ammunition, armament, crew compartment and support compartment.

Thus, if the layout of a modern tank of the "classical scheme" is essentially a tank with two separate compartments: the engine and transmission compartment and the combat compartment, the presented layout provides for five hermetically sealed compartments: the motor-transmission, the ammunition compartment, the crew compartment, the fuel compartment and the armament.
Such an isolated arrangement of the crew, ammunition, fuel and armament inside the tank made it possible to radically improve and redefine the crew habitability conditions.
The project was not implemented due to the lack of understanding on the part of the military and the fact that the design bureaus were busy with the production of tanks based on the T-64 modifications - the so-called clones - the T-72 and T-80.

From different times: comparing the gunner’s station between 🇨🇳PLAGF & 🇮🇳Indian Army’s premium MBTs.
->the large multi-functional display on ZTZ-99A’s gunner station is part of vehicle/battlefield management system
->IA’s T-90S lags far behind in digitization

1/ A short summary of 🇪🇸's Leopard 2E upgrade plans.

Spain bought 219 Leopard 2E (local name Leopardo 2E), which are broadly speaking a 2A6 analogue with the Strv 122/2A6HEL roof armour and some unique to Spain C4 gear (LINCE BMS, Indra licence-built TI optics etc)

Some T-72s and a few Abrams were modified with this armour sometime prior to the battle and can be often seen on footage from it.

@Chaser1Night @AFVRec_ In fact, it is written in open sources that the side boxes are 4S24 within the scope of Relikt, but when a deep scan was made, it was understood that the inserted ones had 4S22, that is, Kontakt 5 content, that is, there is a distinction between Kontakt 5 and Relikt ERA.
