Most Protected Tank in the World. 

Why we not just use HE under the tank?

This technology 70-80X, active protection Barrier (complex Rain USSR). It was abandoned in favor of the Standard complex (ancestor of Afganit), as a consequence of the complexity and General inefficiency of the Rain complex. It is not able to reliably intercept projectiles, Turkey has already had problems with this. ERA Knife was also based on the project of the USSR, which was recognized as untenable as a result of the large mass, not manufacturability, unstable operation when hit to the edge of the module, the probability of chain detonation of modules with damage to the equipment. Yes it works... but too random. It is expensive and does not provide reliable protection. In addition, the T-64 does not have a mass reserve for the installation of such systems, and the T-80 is too small and they need major repairs, and there are no spare parts, the use of artisanal substitutes and parts of the T-64 reduces all the advantages to zero. п.с. Oh, Yes, I have not yet talked about the simply terrible quality of "repaired" armored vehicles from Ukraine.

Sadly, no. New regime is famously inept and corrupt. Government is promoting neo nacism. Power balance is shattered and private militias hold too much power even compared to Ukrainian military. It is destined to be a backwater for decades to come, because it cannot forget and forgive recent events.

too corrupt, the regime holds onto power through warmongering. I wouldnt believe any adverts on Ukrainian equipment, because even if it worked, without relying on soviet era technologies, they went nowhere. Equipment might not arrive in functional state/replaced with used. Too many rich ex-commies and too many very poor who fled the country or listen to nazi religion that makes them look away from corruption. Murrica made 2 coups in 10 years (2004/14) they only replaced one bunch of thieves with another, nazi and 'pro-western'. Because their identity is based on hatred of Russians. They however hate everybody, the nazis. To curb corruption there would probably require something like a military dictatorship. The nazis are corrupt and would like absolute power too. Oligarchs own the media, so youd need someone to concentrate power away from the magnates back to the king, or central govt/parliament whatever there would be. Parliament implies bribery, so it isnt immune to corruption. Without a strong hand like say Putin in Russia, Ukraine cant get up because the oligarchs serve only their own interest. There is an exodus going on in Ukraine. And US started in all, Vicki Nudelman/Nuland, rotten John Mccain et al.

@@zed9095 No, you do not need an emp. You need a "barrel" consisting in a set of two rails being made of supra conductors and a potent battery able to discharge a huge amount of energy in a very short time in order to accelerate the projectile up to between 5000 and 7000 meters per second. The biggest roadblock with this technology lies in the battery. Currently the power unit firing those guns are too big to be installed into a 60/70 tons class tank... it would only fit in a tank of the 130-180 tons class... so its a weapon that we will not see being fitted to tanks until a huge leap in batteries miniaturization has been done. However these guns are already being used on some military vessels... that being said, next generation of tank guns being 130 and 140 mm will render even current active protection system obsolete... since the projectile without the sabot will weight between 12 and 15 kg, be more than one meter long, segmented and break the 2000 m/s barrier with a RHAe perforation being estimated between 1200 and 1500mm.... Nothing will stop it and armor will become redundant once and for all. Tanks of the 5th generation would be unmanned drones with just a big gun. Upcoming 4th generation of tanks will be the last one to be manned by humans and this generation will not last more than 2 decades before we see the frist drone tank.

@@sdrkrm "Knife" - a modular complex of dynamic protection of the third generation for tanks of Ukrainian production, developed in 1997-1998, this approach dates back to the experiments of 1964-72 years in the research Institute of Steel of the USSR, when it was considered as promising, but was later replaced by the now traditional scheme with throwing flat armor plate. A workable complex that implements this principle was adopted only decades later, thanks to the use of the latest technologies in the manufacture of explosives and calculations in the field of optimizing the geometry of the charge profile and their mutual location, which provides for the formation of flat cumulative jets with optimal parameters for countering anti-tank weapons. It was adopted by the armed forces of Ukraine in 2003; production is organized at several Kiev enterprises and at the 107th plant DZRHI (Donetsk), after the armed coup in Kiev in 2014 uses only imported (US) materials. Received a mixed assessment among experts, for example: the high losses of T-64M "Bulat" tanks of the Ukrainian armed forces during the fighting in the South-East of Ukraine is associated with the low efficiency and disadvantages (chain detonation) of the dynamic protection "Knife"against outdated ATGM. Doubts about the effectiveness of the dynamic principle on which the protection "knife" is built have been repeatedly expressed by experts at various levels. As the main drawback point to the low efficiency, excess weight, irrational use of explosion energy and low efficiency of impact on the armor-piercing core, which even when divided into parts retains a high penetration capacity. It is also noted that the dynamic protection "Knife" has some advantages over the Soviet system "Contact-5" only due to a much larger amount of explosive (from 1.5 to 2.5 kg compared to 0.5 kg in "Contact-5"). In this case, increasing the power of the explosive charge has an undesirable side effect in the form of significant dynamic loads on neighboring protection modules and nodes of the carrier tank, which requires a General increase in the strength and weight of the entire tank structure as a whole. This criticism is subject to reasoned doubts. Since, as stated, the specialists of the research Institute "Steel", as representing a direct competitor interested parties, distorted information about the DZ"Knife". On the one hand, in their articles they several times overestimated the mass of the explosive used in the DZ "Knife". On the other hand, using mathematical models that are not related to the principle of operation of the dz "Knife".

@@sdrkrm KAZ "Drozd-2" or "Standard", was used on the prototype Ob.195. "Drozd" also serially (hundreds of sets) was installed on the T-55AD in the 80s as part of the program of modernization of tanks.

Once again - NII Stali never developed or prototyped Nozh or its principles. If yes please provide the prototype's name. Because if you're reffering to Gofr ERA it has nothing similar with Nozh. And stop quoting idiots - 1 Nozh ERA module has only 300 grams max of explosive materials. "In one module in the TNT equivalent of 200 g for hschkv-19 and 300 g for hschkv-34. If we compare it with “Contact-5”, in which the 4C22 module contains 330 g, and there are two modules in the DZ container, then the Knife DZ with one module in the container contains 3.3 or 2.2 times less explosives. For DZ "Relict" 2 × 240 = 480 g for 4C23 modules or 2 × 140 = 280 g for 4C24, i.e. the mass of the “Knife” explosive is 1.6-2.4 times less (4C23) or comparable (4C24)." btvt.info/3attackdefensemobility/bulat_dz.htm

T-64BM Bulat was withdrawn from the conflict zone, T-84 Oplot did not participate in the battle at all (it is clear why).

He just said it can be mounted with hard-kill aps that can be placed anywhere on the tank including the roof

I doubt that the projectile being snapped affects its penetration significatively. Afterall, its kinetic energy stays fairly constant after the fracture, plus, the losses due to the projectile "impacting itself" after the initial impact might be mostly unimportant, since the projectile already degrades pretty easily once it impacts the armor, hence there's not enough time for this losses to be happen (plus these fractures are VERY small, leaking very little energy). When it comes to kinetic penetrators, the only feasible way that ERA can affect its penetration noticeably is by redirecting them to travel as paralel to the armor as possible, so that the speed on the axis normal to the armor is as small as possible, and so the material gets a chance for its own (normal) force to fully redirect it away from itself. Alternatively, bending the projectile is viable too, since it also disrupts its trajectory towards a convenient path. Longstory short, it's probably more about how the explosion's force deflects and deforms the projectile rather than the fractures said explosion may cause.

@@Pao234_ well the rod snapping or deforming absolutely effects penetration if it actually snaps you have less rod to penetrate regardless of its velocity which means less penetration. APFSDS rod length is important for overall pentation which is why modern APFSDS rods are rather long to get the most penetration. Deforming(which is more likely) changes the impact angle and can cause the projectile to yaw which puts more stress on the projectile and causes it to either travel through more material and degrade faster or not hit straight and true.

@@nemisous83 No, if the rod snaps that *only* means that the rod split in two or more parts, however there's no loss of mass in the fracture itself. It's only a discontinuity in the material of the initial object. As i said previously, ERA is most effective against APFSDS when the angle is "lenient" enough so that the explosion can deviate the projectile and reduce its velocity towards the armor. If this sounds a little confusing, imagine a wall, now move your pov to be directly above the wall and looking down to it. Now imagine a projectile going horizontally to the plane and diagonal to said wall. If the wall had blocks of ERA protecting it, the explosion would make the projectile go more paralel and less perpendicular to the wall, this means that it would reduce its velocity towards the wall, so the projectile transfers less energy in the impact

@@nemisous83 And also, velocity is the most important, since the kinetic energy of an object increases proportional to the square of its speed. Basically, a 1kg projectile going 1m/s has 25 times less energy than the same projectile going 5m/s. When it comes to APFSDS all that matters is kinetic energy and its conservation, and of course reducing (air) drag by making it loooong and thin is a pretty good idea. Also of course, a long penetration is much better than a thick penetration of the same volume, thats important too

@@Pao234_ velocity is one factor but its not the only factor in APFSDS penetration. if that was the case DM63 would have more penetration than M829A4 because its traveling 150m/s faster however the overall length of the rod is almost 300mm shorter. if you plug both rounds into any APFSDS calculator the M829A4 always has more penetration. this is also why M900 has more penetration than Bm-36(115mm) despite having a slower muzzle velocity.

Lol

Why did they get taken out ?

@@mrdato116 no, there is virtually no information of the oplot-m in 2022 aside from the previous variants in Thailand. But Ukrainian t72s and T64 havent been doing so well. Just like Russian tanks, they mainly fall victim to ATGMs, aside from Russian claims of previous tank battles, the only fully video documented tank battle happened recently, resulting in a destroyed UKR t64, though some debate it might have been a T72AMT instead.

@@ShopeeMarketteam I see. Thanks for the info 👌

@@ShopeeMarketteam Thank you, I'm a racist

Well, it was more that corruption was just another level

Why??

@@drcorvus5327 T-84 went boom

​@@ThePerson-dg6bq I mean, everything gets destroyed eventually. After all Russia is on the otherside. No one should be overestimated or underestimated.

@@ThePerson-dg6bq *Fact Check: the T-84 and BM Oplot aren’t the same tanks. So a T-84 (basically Russian T-80) going up isn’t shocking lol. T-72s, and T-90s took that cake a while ago.* Lol it was certainly harder to make go up than all those T-72s, T-90Ms, and T-80BVMs… Overall no tank has been proven to be invincible in the conflict. But the tanks that faired the worse was those T-72s. Surprisingly enough I didn’t see many destroyed Russian T-54s, and T-62s likely because they are being fielded as artillery lol. But the BM Oplot still is the most well protected tank if we speak just based on the physical. Electronically? Probably not. But no Russian tank comes close anyway. Maybe the Chinese.

@@chewbacca3269It’s funny they clown cleverly upgraded Soviet style MBTs as if it makes the worse protected Russian tanks any better. That only serves to make them look even worse compared to western designs… It’s like you think you got the one up on a boxer by decking yourself in the nose. It’s goofy.

How ? It not used by Russia it’s used by Ukraine

It's not stating that the tanks are now impervious

Trust me even premium account takes you nowhere, in ground forces from tier 5 onwards the grind is neverending. For planes the neverending part comes at tier 6. You need top tier premium vehicles and talismans for regular tree tanks as well. And then you get your madeup top tier tanks with their madeup armor values. Yay i guess?
