The greatest advance in the latest Russian military demonstration of a new generation of old equipment modified vehicles is that most of them are equipped with "pine-U" thermal imagery, which Russia introduced French technology to build factories in the country. Previously, there was a general feeling of wonder about how Russia was able to maintain production after France joined sanctions against Russia, because it had been reported that some key components still had to be imported from France. However, at this year's "Army 2018" exhibition, some Chinese enterprises said that at present several Russian enterprises producing thermal imagery, and they have a cooperative relationship... Although this statement can not be done any evidence, but I think... The relationship between China and Russia's thermal imagers is still a matter of fact. This is also a basic premise for Russia to popularize thermal imagery in new generation tanks and infantry combat vehicles when its military expenditure has fallen sharply this year compared with last year.
I have said before that Russia will sooner or later have to "hate the truth". Now at least the thermal imager... Congratulations on Chinese thermal imaging enterprises.
Maybe Google Translate can make it clearer.
The article suggest that Russia is able to continue to manufacture thermal imagers by reluctantly accepting cooperation with China.

Recently, the biggest progress of the new generation of old equipment modified vehicles exhibited by the Russian military is that most of them are equipped with the "Pine-U" thermal imager, which was built in Russia by the introduction of French technology. Like an enterprise.

What was strangely felt before was how Russia continued to maintain production after France’s sanctions against Russia, because previous news said that some key components still have to be imported from France.
But at this year's "Army 2018" exhibition, some Chinese companies said that at present, several companies in

Russia that produce thermal imaging cameras have a cooperative relationship with them... Although this is not enough evidence, I think... China and Russia’s thermal imager’s “small relationship” can still be said.
This is also a basic premise that Russia (are still able to) promote thermal imaging cameras in a new generation of tanks and infantry fighting vehicles in the case of a sharp drop in military spending this year, the whole world knows.
The author has said before that Russia will sooner or later be "speaking properly"(accept the truth/reality)
... Now at least the thermal imager... Congratulations to China's thermal imaging company.

Almost all modern Russian mbts use optics developed by Peleng which uses French sights and termal imagers. So technically, if France ever embargoes Russia, they will have a hard time upgrading tanks with second and third generation thermal imagers.
 
Sorry but VT 4 hardly impressed any one in the Army when it first came to trials. OPLOT was the one which we liked only issue was engine. Both got changes so let see who wins now
Sir why not t99a2
 
Sir why not t99a2
There is ZTZ-99A, not t99a2.

Misconception and his link is from a fake so called insider from facebook. :lol:

Nothing is from PA. Oplot M is already rejected by RTA. Not only becos the delivery date is delayed. What they received is not up to expectation and a retrial carry out which VT-4 beats all competitors that included Leopard 2.
That's an irresponsible conclusion.
I agree
 
Russians make thermal imagers? Which ones? Even the t-14 has French thermal imagers.

Yes, and they have for a long time particularly for various aircraft.

As for T-14 and Thales, there is no Thales on the T-14.

This is Thales:

There are AK MBT, heavier MBT and lighter MBT. I thought AK is good enough, heavy tanks are not very useful considering your bridge and enviroment.

Basically AK is a pakistan version of ZTZ-96 and could easily turn into ZTZ-96B or even better tank. FY-5 ERA can break down enemy APDS and HEAT. There are already lot of active proction systems like chinese GL-5 on the market which can proctect your tanks from enemy HEAT and ATGM.

I thought upgrade AK with better Relik or FY-5 ERA, and put something like GL-5 on it will make AK a far better thank than Oplot-M. Ukraine tanks are still in 1990s. After 27 years unstopped deindustrialization Ukraine have to buy truks from Korea and China for their army now. No need to wast your dollars in 1990s tanks.
Ukraine makes good armour and engines but they are generations behind China in electronics
We need t99a2

Correct, no need to criticize tanks made in other countries that are not optimum for your local conditions.
So many tanks cannot make it in this desert, conditions must be very harsh.
Just make your own or integrate some imports where beneficial to further improve your tanks.

Anyway I get to know such terrible place exist, gets me curious on the location of this desert.
How about reforesting this place like how they do it in China.
.
A good idea
