Hmm, severe comprehension problem. I clearly mentioned thar and rajhistan, not all deserts. Every desert has its own dynamics mate, read geography. In thar, the armour jocks had a joke for mbts that no tank could pass thar before it fails (get the humor?)
Trolling problem? Very typical of you to start insulting other people when things don't go your way. If you were Indian and you made the same inflammatory comments towards towards anything Pakistani you would get an early vacation from the mods. My argument is based on facts, yours is based on baseless claims, first you claimed that Uralvagonzavod is grasping on to their old way, not able to "think outside the box" (trolling) then you go out and make a claim that defies known science. (being ignorant) Yes every terrain is different, that still
does not change the fact that a
heavier battle tank with less ground pressure will 'sink' into the ground less as compared to a lighter battle tank with higher ground pressure even stationary.
Science does not make special exceptions for lighter tanks,
no matter the terrain. If they have higher ground pressure per square inch then they will be prone to 'sinking' into sand/mud more so then a heavier tank with less ground pressure. It's basic distribution of weight, how to you think snow shoes work? Less ground pressure.
From type59 to type-90IIA, all tanks initially failed their trials. The M1 was a sheer fiasco really.
Again science does not make special exceptions for lighter tanks. A tank can fail or succeed for many reasons, such as transmission, power-to-weight ration, overheating, power curve, chassis height, and even the track design, there is a reason why the T-14's front track angle is around 50 degrees, anything past that and the glacis would dig into the ground on steep inclines.
Regarding the UrAl, yes they eventually reached where Morozov was 50 years ago as he had given the proposal of Crew in a Hull concept.the revolutionary t-74 was meant to be the first CIH operational MBT in the world but ALAS!
And that was well over 50 years ago so your Ural is just over 50 years late. For originality, Ural was a lapdog to mkrozov design bureau always, improving over t-34 , 44 and 54 was what they did before jumping in with customizing 55s with 115mm gun and call it the t-62, only to be the trashed for morozov 64, again.
Yea 50 years late, another weak insult
might as well claim that the Leo or Abrams or every tank for that matter is 100 years late based on early French tanks and no one can "innovate" anything because of the French 100 years prior or we can even go far back to Leonard da vinci's concepts. There was a concept long ago that involved an unmanned turret, so what? What are you trying to prove, are you trying to justify your original claim that Uralvagonzavod can not innovate thus the T-14 is just old technology?
By your logic Northrop is also over 40 years late on the B-2 and can not innovate:
In regards to the paper tank dubbed the T-74, do you even have schematics of the turret and chassis layout? Do you have schematics of the T-14 layout? Of course you don't, that is why your argument holds no weight and is frankly childish.
The point for this history lesson is that Ural always lacked innovation and ingenuity that morozov enjoyed.
Just for your info, in case you don't know, the first prototype of t-72 was a modified t-64
There is nothing like the T-14 today, i'm not sure how much more innovative Uralvagonzavod needs to be, should they strap a jet engine to the tank? What else can they do to be more" innovative"?
@cabatli_53 congratulations you proved why the thanks button is abused. You just thanked someone for insulting, defining basic science, and trolling.
