As children we were admired by the power of armored vehicles, their formidable silhouettes. Indeed, in the soul of almost every man lives tanker. For us, the tank is the personification of unstoppable force. Then we already became programmers, designers and testers. But many of us still freeze in the chest from the smell of napalm in the morning, the roar of diesel engines, the clank of caterpillars and the sight of the enemy in the sight. True, this joy usually gives us not a tank training ground, but WASD with a mouse. And today we propose to recall the most interesting modern combat vehicles, on which you can smash tank wedges of an adversary in the online action game Armored Warfare: The Armat Project.

T-90MS

Initially, the T-90 was created as a deep modernization of the T-72B . A bright representative of the national school of tank construction: an extremely dense layout of all departments and one of the lowest indicators of height among the main tanks of the world.

The T-90MS is an export version of the latest modification of the Russian main tank T-90AM . Installed a new tower, replaced the fire control system and automatic loader . The tank received a cannon with improved ballistics, a remotely controlled machine gun installation on the roof of the tower, as well as more advanced dynamic protection "Relic." Also upgrades were power plant and machine control system.

Specifications:

• Combined booking with dynamic protection. Ability to install an active protection system.
• 125 mm smooth-bore gun 2A46M-5 .
• Sight with a laser range finder, thermal imaging and television channel.
• Weight 48 t.
• Diesel multi-fuel engine V-92S2F , power 1130 hp
• The speed on the highway is up to 70 km / h, over rough terrain - up to 45 km / h.

Challenger 2

The main tank of Albion. One of the heaviest tanks in the world. This is largely due to very serious reservations , Challenger 2 is considered one of the most secure cars. But it is precisely the mass of the tank that makes it difficult to transfer it by aviation and imposes restrictions on the movement of bridges. This may be important in the event of a large war in the European part of Eurasia, with its abundance of rivers: the operational mobility of tank units is reduced.

Specifications:

• Combined booking with dynamic protection.
• 120mm rifled gun L30E4 .
• Sight with a laser range finder, thermal imaging and television channel.
• Weight 62.5 tons
• Diesel engine MT-883 Ka-500, power 1500 hp
• The speed on the highway is up to 56 km / h, over rough terrain - up to 40 km / h.

Leopard 2A7 +

The freshest modification of the main tank in Germany. In the 1960s, the Federal Republic of Germany and the United States jointly developed the draft of the main tank MBT-70 . The resulting prototypes did not satisfy customers, and the program was closed. Then both countries went their own way, using part of the developments in the creation of Leopard 2 and M1 Abrams.

Leopard 2A7 + is optimized for urban fights: the entire tower, the frontal part and two thirds of the side projections of the hull are covered with panels with dynamic protection. Modernized electronics, communication systems, fire control system. On the roof of the tower mounted remote-controlled machine gun installation. In ammunition introduced a new sub-caliber feathered shell. Automatic loading is absent, its role is performed by the corresponding crew member.

Specifications:

• Combined booking with dynamic protection.
• 120-mm smooth-bore gun Rh120 / L55.
• A sight with a laser range finder and a thermal imaging channel.
• Weight is about 70 tons.
• Diesel engine MT-873 Ka-501, power 1479 hp

M1A2 Abrams

The main tank of the United States, a second cousin of Leopard 2. The most widely advertised tank in the world, but according to objective estimates and analysis of the combat use of Abrams is not the best tank in the world in terms of its characteristics. Equipped with a British combined armor Chobham and analogue of the German gun Rh120. In the Abrams ammunition there are no high-explosive fragmentation projectiles, but its subscale projectiles with a core of depleted uranium are among the most effective.

The basic modification of the M1A2 was created in 1992, and since then it has been modernized several times, the last of which is the M1A2 SEP V3 . Like Leopard 2, Abrams is not equipped with an automatic loader. A "survival kit in the city" may be installed:



Specifications:

• Combined booking, with the ability to install dynamic and active protection.
• 120-mm rifled gun M256, licensed version of the Rh120, installed on the Leopard 2.
• Sight with a laser range finder, thermal imaging and television channel.
• Weight 63 tons
• Gas turbine engine AGT-1500, power 1500 hp
• Highway speed up to 66 km / h.

Merkava Mk.2D

A relatively new version of the old modification of the main tank of Israel. Although in service with the Merkava Mk.3 and Merkava Mk.4, the "two" are still in the ranks. A feature of all the Merkav is a much higher mass compared to Soviet / Russian tanks with a similar level of security. This is partly due to the presence of the landing hatch in the stern of the tank, so the designers have to book a much larger internal volume. The Israelis have always had a special approach to armored vehicles. A curious fact: in the Merkava Mk.2B, from the loader's loading hatch, you can shoot from the built-in small mortar with lighting, smoke and fragmentation mines.

Specifications:

• Combined booking with spaced anti-cumulative screens.
• 105 mm rifled gun M68, created for the tank M60 Patton .
• Sight with a laser range finder, thermal imaging and television channel.
• Weight 60 t.
• Diesel AGT-1500, power 900 hp
• Speed ​​on the highway to 46 km / h.

BMPT "Terminator-2"

This combat vehicle is not yet in service with the Russian army. The name "Terminator" is unofficial, as the developers themselves call their offspring. As the chassis used body repaired T-72. Although it can be converted into BMPT - a combat tank support vehicle - any obsolete tank can be. The machine is designed to conduct combat in the same system with tanks, as well as to support the actions of the infantry.

Specifications:

• Combined booking with dynamic protection.
• Two 30-mm cannon 2A42 , four launchers ATGM "Attack".
• A sight with a laser range finder, a thermal imaging channel and a laser beam channel for controlling missiles.
• Weight 48 t.
• Diesel multi-fuel engine -922 , power 1000 hp
• Speed ​​on the highway up to 65 km / h.

PzH 2000

Before the advent of " Coalition-SV " this self-propelled gun was considered the best in the world. Its advantages should include a high rate of fire (up to 12 shots / min.), A large firing range, significant ammunition, high mobility and high capabilities of the fire control system, which makes it possible to use batteries and individual machines much more efficiently. Self-propelled gun is equipped with an automatic fire extinguishing system and a GPS navigation system. PzH 2000 is able to act independently of the artillery spotters: after each shot, the system automatically calculates the corrections.

Specifications:

• The reservation protects against bullets of 14 mm caliber, large fragments of shells and mortar shells.
• 155 mm gun L55.
• Combined sight with a laser rangefinder.
• Weight 55 t.
• Diesel engine with turbo-supercharged MTU 881, power 1000 hp
• The speed on the highway is up to 61 km / h, over rough terrain up to 45 km / h.

T-14 "Armata"

The main sensation in many years: the T-14 became the world's first tank of a new generation - a machine for conducting “network-centric wars”. Uninhabited tower: the entire crew is in the armored capsule inside the hull, which significantly increases the survival rate. The tank is equipped with radar radar with AFAR and infrared HD-cameras, creating a circular field of view. Some experts believe that the T-14 radar is capable of calculating the position of the enemy along the trajectory of the shells flying past. A combat information and control system is capable of transmitting data about the enemy to other combat units belonging to the information network.

The tank used technologies to reduce visibility in the infrared, radio and magnetic ranges, making it difficult to target and capture anti-tank weapons. As a defense against ATGM and sub-caliber shells, a new Afganit active defense system is used . Built-in dynamic protection " Malachite ", according to the developers, is able to withstand the most sophisticated sub-caliber projectiles of the United States and NATO, and also with a 95% chance of invulnerable to shots of anti-tank systems.

There are unconfirmed rumors that the current configuration of the tower is not final, and the production machines will have a slightly different look. In addition, it is planned to experiment with the installation of not 125, but 152-mm guns (howitzer caliber). This is due to the fact that modern tanks are overgrown with good protection.

The list of innovations can be listed for a long time. In other words, the new tank is unrealistically cool and tightly classified. According to many experts, it is incorrect to directly compare the T-14 with all other existing tanks, since they do not have a number of features that characterize the new generation.

Specifications:

• Combined multi-layered booking, with built-in dynamic and active protection of new generations.
• 125 mm 2A82-1M gun.
• Sight with a laser range finder, thermal imaging and television channel. Circular radar complex of high accuracy.
• Weight 55 t.
• Engine with variable power from 1200 to 1800 hp
• The speed on the highway is up to 90 km / h, over rough terrain up to 60 km / h.
