Я не думаю, что в руководстве по эксплуатации танка, предназначенном для обычного экипажа будет содержаться супер секретная информация в духе "как изготовить Реликт в домашних условиях"
Как механик - водитель танка Т-90М (2020) могу сказать, что никакой автоматической трансмиссии не было на тот момент. Кондиционер так же не работал. Но это была партия первых 20 серийных машин. Но люди с УВЗ, которые помогали нам освоить технику говорили, что изначально планировалось установка новой автоматической кпп с повышенной скоростью заднего хода и за место рычагов управления был штурвал. Еще одна вещь: Не смотря на указанную максимальную скорость в инструкции, в реальности она чуть выше. Танк разгонял до 70км/ч и чувствовалось, что потенциал еще имеется, но был риск потерять управление, т.к на асфальте зацепа гусениц нет.

On the RU secret documents, a secrecy stamp is placed in the upper right corner, and below it is a list item of the order, in accordance with which the document is classified. I don't see this in the documents. Therefore, the document does not carry any SECRET and is not classified
The only real differences would be lengthened hull (could accommodate larger transmission?) and revised upper glacis that eliminated the driver's weak spot and that would come with about 2 extra tons.
@@BlackWolf9988 dunno... The Object 187 was tested with both the UVZ diesel and the turbine AFAIK (dunno which version of the hull though, there were several configurations both with the "classic" sloped front and the "Type-96A-style"/"Object 195-style" short glacis with composite slab) and I imagine the turbine was taken from a T-80U direcly, so the turbine version would have probably the same transmission as T-80 variants... as for the diesel, I am not sure what transmission it had, and if there was any other variant (I would imagine there might have been one with KMDB's 6TDF too, but as far as prototypes go none seem to have that one and Malyshev plant had different priorities around the time 187 was developed as it was responsible for the T-80U, T-80UD and the development of Object 490 and 477)...
As the video covered the automatic transmission, there was a notation that the tank had to be brought to a stop before engaging reverse from forward or shifting from reverse to forward.
I think it makes sense that it's below 50 tons empty in particular because 50 tons has long been the hard limit for Soviet and Russian tanks for logistics reasons, as the per car weight their rail network can consistently support, making a combat weight of over 50 tons perfectly fine as long as it's below that for transport
Something to note about the T-80BVM, according to the manual, the tank can't carry more than 14 of the Svinets projectile (3BM48, 3BM60 and 3BM59) due to carousel configuration. From the manual itself: "Twenty-eight shots, in any ratio by type, are placed in the conveyor of the loading mechanism, while it is prohibited to place 3VBM22, 3VBM23 rounds in adjacent trays. 3VBM22, 3VBM23 rounds should be placed in the MZ conveyor, alternating them with cumulative rounds. The remining nine shots, placed in a non-mechanized stowage, should be equipped only with high-explosive fragmentation and cumulative, of which five shells and seven cartridges are placed in the tank-rack, two shells on the bottom of the tank-rack, two shells and two cartridges - at the motor partitions between the middle fuel tanks." Of course 3VBM22 and 23 is not to be confused with 3BM22 and 3BM23 (3VBM9), which entered service in 1976. Edit: Corrected ammunition terminology. Edit 2: Analysis of ammunition load in captured/destroyed/damaged Russian tanks has shown that most crews are being equipped with 3BM46 "Mango", which entered service in 1986 and is a tungsten penetrator. As opposed to the newer Svinets and Svinets-1 which are depleted uranium, and the Svinets-2 which is a longer Tungsten Alloy penetrator.
There is ALSO to concider: This is what could/expect to have equiped. Dosnt mean it Should or WILL. An example is Ammo. Is the tank is expected to be neutralize or go into a light combat the Ammo carry will be less or diferent. Same with armor and equipment. If using camouflaged, less amor, is heavy armored less extra ammo.
The weight is definitely not increased from 48-52 tons just because of crew ammo and fuel. Let's calculate that for a second. The tank has 1200L of fuel, so let's say 1500kg. Plus another 200kg for 3 crew members then for the ammo it would be 43 rounds at around 15kg per round so let's say around 500kg there. That works out to 2.2 tons. So basically you're missing almost 2 tons of weight. So, very likely the T90M has 2 tons of additional armor, either in the turret or front of the hull.
You're missing a lot of equipment on your list. There are tools for maintenance, camping, repairs, pioneering tools, spare tracks, spare wheels, etc. and also a lot of machine gun ammo. Outside of fuel, there are also a few hundred kilos of lubricant, cooling fluid, hydraulic fluid, etc.
@@cuongle7990 you think a t90m carries 2 tons of oil, hydraulic fluid, tools and parts? Absolutely not. The oil capacity on a t90M is around 40-50kg, coolant and hydraulic fluids are likely similar or less. Therefore the total of fluids adds up to under 150kg. Still 1650-2650kg of weight unaccounted for (because of the +2% next to the weight) I hope you understand how much weight that is, that's the weight of an average sedan to the weight of an SUV and you're claiming that's just the weight of parts? At most it carries a couple of extra road wheels and a few tracks, that's absolutely not 2 tons. Maybe another 100kg of parts if we're being generous and another 50kg of tools again if we're being generous. You're still at MINIMUM 1500kg off the weight. At maximum you're 2500kg off the weight. That's the equivalent of the M1 depleted uranium armor package, the only logical explanation is that it's an armor upgrade, which makes complete sense. Just because Russia didn't openly state they upgraded the armor doesn't mean they didn't, they upgraded every other system in the tank and you think they didn't add a bit more hull despite that being one of the easiest upgrades they could have done (given the hull composite armor is already designed to be replaced and armor is much easier to make than any other component on the T90m)
1 I don't know who thought that it was 48 tons. As pretty much all of the official data stated 50 and 52 tons at full load. 2 Just because gears didn't increase, doesn't mean that the reverse speed didn't increase. It achieves higher reverse speed with higher engine torque in turbo. 3 I don't know who though that Russia was using Sosna U here, as it was common knowledge and the entire purpose of Proryv 3 to switch to domestic thermals... 4 Maximum speed clearly states - not less, in the manual. The maximum speed of T80 is 80km/h etc etc etc all of this stuff is known already. ps T90 46 tons, T90A 48 tons, T90M 50 tons. ( 52 in full gear with APS)
Brother, the e-publishing department of the airforce has had these documents available for you to download since 2020, all you have to do is go on their website, nothing has been leaked!
Those wieghts in the manuals likely don't include the weight of additional armour packages as those are constantly being changed in both design and materials used as such it's simpler to issue the crews withup to date manuals specific to each variant as they are fitted especially when multiple designs may be in use simultaneously. With each armour manual detailing the characteristics of the fitted armour and any effect on the vehicles handling characteristics. Any armour detailed in the vehicle manual should be considered the minimum armour configuration and was likely inaccurate as soon as it was printed.
Nice video! I see some comments, articles and videos about the tests of a new 152 mm gun for the T-14 Armata, and also that the tank is receiving some other upgrades, based in the current conflict. Any information about that?
1:38 -- # of gears does not indicate speed. The gear ratios for examples can be changed. A real world example: on a motorcycle one routinely changes their rear sprocket to adjust for conditions, terrain, and riding style. The bike's acceleration and top speeds change, but the number of gears do not.
The internet: War thunder i swear to god , if you leak classified documents one more time .... Warthunder : it wasnt me this time The internet: oh ,ok ...this is new
9:07 that is a 2 Spool radial flow gas turbine engine. It is basically 2 turbochargers built inside of each other, with the discharge of the first compressor feeding into the inlet of the second compressor, with the discharge of the second compressor blasting air into an annular combustion chamber. The thrust from the combustion chamber drives 2 turbines mounted to both a solid shaft, and 1 to a hollow shaft, then the thrust drives the power turbine and transmission. This is a far simpler, more reliable, cheaper, easier to start, longer lasting, more versatile engine than any diesel piston engine. That it a serious tactical advantage. This is similar to what the Abrams runs, and it runs it obviously for all the reasons why the Abrams runs it.
You mean the gear ratio for a given gear. But if you can have only 1 reverse gear you have make it as low as the first forward. T-80 gets away with higher ratios because of the turbine's incredible torque.
@@SteelheadCrusher There is this thing called 51Tons of your mass... and you need to use that reverse gear even when you ended up in some hole that you failed to see because visibility from tank is poor when you are driving with closed hatch...
Instructions or not, these manuals are very useful in understanding how a tank crew operates and what weaknesses that tank crew may have because of said instructions. I remember on a podcast a US military officer said he actively goes through his manuals finds weaknesses, and then makes his crew practice those over and over again in simulated scenarios. P.s Love your vids and can't wait for the devs to change the tanks now.
Yeah, tanks from the early 80s had it lmao, the early Abrams variants, the latter Leopard 1s, the T-80B, T-72B the early leopard 2s... Obviously they were not as refined as modern fire control systems, but a ballistic computer and target tracking ability is the like minimum you expect from a fire control system put in a MBT after the 1980s
@@russianbs No LOL not at all You are confusing "lead" with auto-aim, but it's not the same, these are completely different things. The NATO tanks like Arbams or Leopard did NOT have automatic target tracking system, they only had a assisting functionality called "lead" which means the gunner still has to aim the gun manually by hand to get the gun on target, while the Laser-Range Finder helps to calculate all the important data which helps the gunner to hit a moving target more accurately, but at the end the gunner still has to aim the gun manually with his hand on a joystick (similar to a Playstation controller) This is not the same as Automatic Target Tracking used in the T90M, Merkava 4 or K2 (South Korea) which literally aims the gun automatically on target so the gunner does not need to aim the cannon manually with his hand, but instead the tank's own computer system aims the cannon fully automatically on target which increases the accuracy of hitting the target better with faster acquisition time, which gives these tanks a little advantage. But of course, during the Cold War in the 1980s the NATO tanks still had better Fire-control system than the old Soviet T72 which didn't even have the simple "lead" functionality that the NATO tanks had in the 1980s, so the T72 had no assisted aim capability at all, which is why the Soviet tanks had the worst accuracy against moving targets. And now the newest upgrades for Abrams, Leopard 2 and challenger 3 will also get this Automatic Target Tracking capability too, although they received this capability much later... (the Israeli Merkava 4 already had this capability since 2004)
No it was because the dude in reddit who leaked it (T-90AK) didn't wanna post it in there because he'd get banned and it'd get deleted almost immediately
Re: tank weights. Various authors conflate metric and standard and short tons, then translate to their preferred system of measure. This confuses the weight issue. For instance: Panther weighed roughly 45 metric tons . . . so USA writers have a tendency to undervalue its weight in shirt tons. Panther's weight in short tons is 49.5. The same thing happens with Tiger 1. Is it 56 metric tons or 61.6 short tons? A lot of folks aren't sure . . . I bet the same thing happens pretty often, especially where authors and primary sources don't specify.
What would penetration data even mean? Stating equivalent meters of steel @ range/angle doesn't mean much, because no tank uses a simple hardened steel plate as armor and expects it to resist a hit from a tank gun. If normal steel plate is used, it's relatively thin, and protecting the roof or something. The front hull and turret are always protected by something more sophisticated.
0:52 Are we sure that 51 Ton figure is the loaded weight? To me it seems like that little "+2%" marked next to the 51 is what the loaded weight would be (51 tons + 2% of that), with the base weight being 51 tons.
@@solastorm7im not surprised that people are confused by the t90, because you have western news that say “ hey look a drone destroyed t90m the best tank in the world” , but also say “russia is in such shambles that they only have t60 tanks left”
Seems like the T-90M is a very impressive vehicle, although they really should upgrade the reverse gearing so that the vehicle can drive much faster in reverse. It really shouldn't be that expensive to upgrade the gearboxes on all of the T-90s or at least the units serving on the front lines.
T-90MS is an export variant, the S usually denotes that, so it's not surprising that an export variant can be lighter. But, there is a caveat, there are actually two T-90MS, one is the export variant of T-90M, with a different cannon and an export variant of T-90AM, T-90AM weighs 48 tonns.
MBTs are at the same point where battleships were in the 1930s. The steel behemoths, such as Yamato, Arizona, and Prince of Wales, became vulnerable to small, maneuverable aircraft.
Incredibly surprised that it has taken this long for these manuals to be released. I've still got most of my old Leo 1 manuals, but the idea of making the public never really crossed my mind, because they don't contain anything beyond the bog standard operating procedures. I always assumed that information was freely available. Also, my manuals only carry the old "restricted" classification, which was for protected, but not sensitive information. For example the Army doesn't want civilians knowing the procedure for starting a tank up and getting in moving.
Just so we are clear, I was on CQ Runner duty when T-90 technical schematics and information arrived at my company for our Company Commander. So, the US Military has been very aware of T-90 series capabilities for about three decades.
Nice to see the whole herd is focused on a game and not real life. That way they can confidently serve their leaders by jumping in whatever they give them and charge at the other sheep.

The Object 187 was tested with both the UVZ diesel and the turbine AFAIK (dunno which version of the hull though, there were several configurations both with the "classic" sloped front and the "Type-96A-style"/"Object 195-style" short glacis with composite slab) and I imagine the turbine was taken from a T-80U direcly, so the turbine version would have probably the same transmission as T-80 variants... as for the diesel, I am not sure what transmission it had, and if there was any other variant (I would imagine there might have been one with KMDB's 6TDF too, but as far as prototypes go none seem to have that one and Malyshev plant had different priorities around the time 187 was developed as it was responsible for the T-80U, T-80UD and the development of Object 490 and 477)...

I think it makes sense that it's below 50 tons empty in particular because 50 tons has long been the hard limit for Soviet and Russian tanks for logistics reasons, as the per car weight their rail network can consistently support, making a combat weight of over 50 tons perfectly fine as long as it's below that for transport
Something to note about the T-80BVM, according to the manual, the tank can't carry more than 14 of the Svinets projectile (3BM48, 3BM60 and 3BM59) due to carousel configuration. From the manual itself: "Twenty-eight shots, in any ratio by type, are placed in the conveyor of the loading mechanism, while it is prohibited to place 3VBM22, 3VBM23 rounds in adjacent trays. 3VBM22, 3VBM23 rounds should be placed in the MZ conveyor, alternating them with cumulative rounds. The remining nine shots, placed in a non-mechanized stowage, should be equipped only with high-explosive fragmentation and cumulative, of which five shells and seven cartridges are placed in the tank-rack, two shells on the bottom of the tank-rack, two shells and two cartridges - at the motor partitions between the middle fuel tanks." Of course 3VBM22 and 23 is not to be confused with 3BM22 and 3BM23 (3VBM9), which entered service in 1976.
Edit: Corrected ammunition terminology.
Edit 2: Analysis of ammunition load in captured/destroyed/damaged Russian tanks has shown that most crews are being equipped with 3BM46 "Mango", which entered service in 1986 and is a tungsten penetrator. As opposed to the newer Svinets and Svinets-1 which are depleted uranium, and the Svinets-2 which is a longer Tungsten Alloy penetrator.
It is digit 3, not letter Z (З)
@@spyderDFX I'm aware, this was copied from an AI translation of the manual. I'll go back and edit it.
There is ALSO to concider:
This is what could/expect to have equiped.
Dosnt mean it Should or WILL.
An example is Ammo.
Is the tank is expected to be neutralize or go into a light combat the Ammo carry will be less or diferent.
Same with armor and equipment.
If using camouflaged, less amor, is heavy armored less extra ammo.
The weight is definitely not increased from 48-52 tons just because of crew ammo and fuel. Let's calculate that for a second. The tank has 1200L of fuel, so let's say 1500kg. Plus another 200kg for 3 crew members then for the ammo it would be 43 rounds at around 15kg per round so let's say around 500kg there.
That works out to 2.2 tons. So basically you're missing almost 2 tons of weight.
So, very likely the T90M has 2 tons of additional armor, either in the turret or front of the hull.
That fuel calc is out by 500kg! Diesel is a lot lighter per m3….
You're missing a lot of equipment on your list. There are tools for maintenance, camping, repairs, pioneering tools, spare tracks, spare wheels, etc. and also a lot of machine gun ammo. Outside of fuel, there are also a few hundred kilos of lubricant, cooling fluid, hydraulic fluid, etc.
@@cuongle7990 you think a t90m carries 2 tons of oil, hydraulic fluid, tools and parts? Absolutely not. The oil capacity on a t90M is around 40-50kg, coolant and hydraulic fluids are likely similar or less. Therefore the total of fluids adds up to under 150kg. Still 1650-2650kg of weight unaccounted for (because of the +2% next to the weight)
I hope you understand how much weight that is, that's the weight of an average sedan to the weight of an SUV and you're claiming that's just the weight of parts? At most it carries a couple of extra road wheels and a few tracks, that's absolutely not 2 tons. Maybe another 100kg of parts if we're being generous and another 50kg of tools again if we're being generous.
You're still at MINIMUM 1500kg off the weight. At maximum you're 2500kg off the weight. That's the equivalent of the M1 depleted uranium armor package, the only logical explanation is that it's an armor upgrade, which makes complete sense. Just because Russia didn't openly state they upgraded the armor doesn't mean they didn't, they upgraded every other system in the tank and you think they didn't add a bit more hull despite that being one of the easiest upgrades they could have done (given the hull composite armor is already designed to be replaced and armor is much easier to make than any other component on the T90m)
@@robertpatrick3350 ohh, I just assumed it was more dense than water, okay so the actual weight deficit is probably more like 2000-3000kg

1 I don't know who thought that it was 48 tons. As pretty much all of the official data stated 50 and 52 tons at full load.
2 Just because gears didn't increase, doesn't mean that the reverse speed didn't increase. It achieves higher reverse speed with higher engine torque in turbo.
3 I don't know who though that Russia was using Sosna U here, as it was common knowledge and the entire purpose of Proryv 3 to switch to domestic thermals...
4 Maximum speed clearly states - not less, in the manual. The maximum speed of T80 is 80km/h
etc etc etc all of this stuff is known already.
ps T90 46 tons, T90A 48 tons, T90M 50 tons. ( 52 in full gear with APS)
Reverse speed would only increase if it was torque limited originally which we know it isnt because it can go much faster in forward gears.

@@dakromisNothing is safe anymore. Someone will leak it.
Those wieghts in the manuals likely don't include the weight of additional armour packages as those are constantly being changed in both design and materials used as such it's simpler to issue the crews withup to date manuals specific to each variant as they are fitted especially when multiple designs may be in use simultaneously. With each armour manual detailing the characteristics of the fitted armour and any effect on the vehicles handling characteristics. Any armour detailed in the vehicle manual should be considered the minimum armour configuration and was likely inaccurate as soon as it was printed.

9:07 that is a 2 Spool radial flow gas turbine engine. It is basically 2 turbochargers built inside of each other, with the discharge of the first compressor feeding into the inlet of the second compressor, with the discharge of the second compressor blasting air into an annular combustion chamber. The thrust from the combustion chamber drives 2 turbines mounted to both a solid shaft, and 1 to a hollow shaft, then the thrust drives the power turbine and transmission. This is a far simpler, more reliable, cheaper, easier to start, longer lasting, more versatile engine than any diesel piston engine. That it a serious tactical advantage. This is similar to what the Abrams runs, and it runs it obviously for all the reasons why the Abrams runs it.
Only 1 reverse gear doesn't necessarily mean that it only has 5 kms reverse.
The gearbox settings are the key
You mean the gear ratio for a given gear. But if you can have only 1 reverse gear you have make it as low as the first forward. T-80 gets away with higher ratios because of the turbine's incredible torque.
And there's this thing called a throttle.
@@SteelheadCrusher There is this thing called 51Tons of your mass... and you need to use that reverse gear even when you ended up in some hole that you failed to see because visibility from tank is poor when you are driving with closed hatch...
@@Bialy_1 Yeah but now they can have rear view cameras.
Instructions or not, these manuals are very useful in understanding how a tank crew operates and what weaknesses that tank crew may have because of said instructions. I remember on a podcast a US military officer said he actively goes through his manuals finds weaknesses, and then makes his crew practice those over and over again in simulated scenarios. P.s Love your vids and can't wait for the devs to change the tanks now.
T90 maingun autoaim in Warthunder when?
Devs just sitting on that top BR $180 premium drooling for GE
Almost all modern tanks has that feature...
Yeah, tanks from the early 80s had it lmao, the early Abrams variants, the latter Leopard 1s, the T-80B, T-72B the early leopard 2s... Obviously they were not as refined as modern fire control systems, but a ballistic computer and target tracking ability is the like minimum you expect from a fire control system put in a MBT after the 1980s
@@russianbs No LOL not at all
You are confusing "lead" with auto-aim, but it's not the same, these are completely different things.
The NATO tanks like Arbams or Leopard did NOT have automatic target tracking system, they only had a assisting functionality called "lead" which means the gunner still has to aim the gun manually by hand to get the gun on target, while the Laser-Range Finder helps to calculate all the important data which helps the gunner to hit a moving target more accurately, but at the end the gunner still has to aim the gun manually with his hand on a joystick (similar to a Playstation controller)
This is not the same as Automatic Target Tracking used in the T90M, Merkava 4 or K2 (South Korea) which literally aims the gun automatically on target so the gunner does not need to aim the cannon manually with his hand, but instead the tank's own computer system aims the cannon fully automatically on target which increases the accuracy of hitting the target better with faster acquisition time, which gives these tanks a little advantage.
But of course, during the Cold War in the 1980s the NATO tanks still had better Fire-control system than the old Soviet T72 which didn't even have the simple "lead" functionality that the NATO tanks had in the 1980s, so the T72 had no assisted aim capability at all, which is why the Soviet tanks had the worst accuracy against moving targets.
And now the newest upgrades for Abrams, Leopard 2 and challenger 3 will also get this Automatic Target Tracking capability too, although they received this capability much later...
(the Israeli Merkava 4 already had this capability since 2004)
I like how my brain was just like: yep warthunder

Re: tank weights. Various authors conflate metric and standard and short tons, then translate to their preferred system of measure. This confuses the weight issue. For instance: Panther weighed roughly 45 metric tons . . . so USA writers have a tendency to undervalue its weight in shirt tons. Panther's weight in short tons is 49.5. The same thing happens with Tiger 1. Is it 56 metric tons or 61.6 short tons? A lot of folks aren't sure . . . I bet the same thing happens pretty often, especially where authors and primary sources don't specify.
No, that's an exclusively American problem. Europe uses metric. Absolutely no confusion over Panther or Tiger 1 weight over here.
peak Ameriquan moment
Americans and their friggin' freedom units. 🙄
What would penetration data even mean? Stating equivalent meters of steel @ range/angle doesn't mean much, because no tank uses a simple hardened steel plate as armor and expects it to resist a hit from a tank gun. If normal steel plate is used, it's relatively thin, and protecting the roof or something. The front hull and turret are always protected by something more sophisticated.

@@Coelians Ukraine captured 6-7 of them, you can be sure 1 or 2 ended up in the US.
Seems like the T-90M is a very impressive vehicle, although they really should upgrade the reverse gearing so that the vehicle can drive much faster in reverse. It really shouldn't be that expensive to upgrade the gearboxes on all of the T-90s or at least the units serving on the front lines.
Not gonna lie, manual transmission on a tank is bad ass.

That 6mph top speed in revers is certainly impressive.

T-90MS is an export variant, the S usually denotes that, so it's not surprising that an export variant can be lighter. But, there is a caveat, there are actually two T-90MS, one is the export variant of T-90M, with a different cannon and an export variant of T-90AM, T-90AM weighs 48 tonns.

Incredibly surprised that it has taken this long for these manuals to be released.
I've still got most of my old Leo 1 manuals, but the idea of making the public never really crossed my mind, because they don't contain anything beyond the bog standard operating procedures. I always assumed that information was freely available.
Also, my manuals only carry the old "restricted" classification, which was for protected, but not sensitive information.
For example the Army doesn't want civilians knowing the procedure for starting a tank up and getting in moving.
Just so we are clear, I was on CQ Runner duty when T-90 technical schematics and information arrived at my company for our Company Commander. So, the US Military has been very aware of T-90 series capabilities for about three decades.
