jaffrry Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 (edited) The T-90S Bhishma was essentially identical to the Russian T-90. It was given a more powerful engine to cope with the new armour and equipments, a jamming system a laser warning receivers, while still relying on a powerful 2A46M 125 mm smoothbore main gun with a thermal sleeve and muzzle detector that can fire a whole range of ammunitions including HE, Frag, HEAT, APFSDS and ATGMs which were developed in India. The improved night sights allowed to detect and engage targets at 700m to 1100m in pitch black darkness, fog or sandstorms while on the move and the gun is fully stabilized. The armour protection level rests on the hardened steel hull of the T-72 with inserts of composites in the turret front, and a layer of ERA bricks (KONTAKT 5) explosive armour. Secondary armament comprises a roof-mounted 12.7 mm and coaxial 7.92 mm machine gun. Mobility is assured by two planetary gear boxes for the transmission and two final drives, plus a snorkel allowing 5m of immersion with a 20 min. preparation. The limited weight of the tank 45 tons, compared to the Arjun allows this tank to be air-transported and compatible with most bridges in India. However The Indian T-90S didn’t have the Shtora-1 countermeasure suite, and the locally-built model is equipped with sights from Thales (France) and the Kanchan composite armour developed locally.(tank ECYCLOPEDIAA ) Manual tiny tank gun elevating mechanism mechanism size:9X6X2 studs Edited April 20, 2018 by jaffrry Quote
Aventador2004 Posted April 20, 2018 Posted April 20, 2018 Nice tank! Hope to see more of these from you. Quote
BusterHaus Posted April 21, 2018 Posted April 21, 2018 @jaffrry Nice build, I'm impressed with the driving speed. Brick models are usually heavier and slower, and the small tracks aren't the strongest, so it's very cool to see the good performance. Quote

Thank you, In order to increase speed, small tracks are used to a trade-off between appearance and body ratio.Even small track's are slight. Quote
