Layout and Design
The engine is placed at the front of the vehicle, giving the tank increased frontal protection against attacks. The crew is placed behind the engine in a staggered line, giving them a greater chance of survival in case of frontal penetration. The driver is placed at the front of the tank with the gunner and commander sitting behind him. The commander 's seat can be electronically raised and lowered so the commander can ride turned out and be able to see over the turret. The turret is unmanned with an auto-loader and the ammo residing in the turret. A armored door separates the gunner from the turret. In the event of a jam (unlikely) the gunner can access the turret and fix the jam. Also, there is a rear door exit which allows the crew to exit and enter unseen and to bail faster. The suspension, transmission and other aspects of the tank are made from titanium smelted in space, giving incredible flexibility and strength while retaining a light weight. All the metals in this tank were smelted in space, giving them greater flexibility and strength.
Passive Armor
The entire body of the tank is covered in Kaktus-D ERA. This ERA has shown to reduce 140mm electrothermal sabot rounds by 40%.
The armor is made of modules that can be easily repaired and replaced.
The frontal armor of the tank are spaced and laminated layers of tungsten and ceramics forming 5th Generation Burlington armor. There are two layers of NERA on the front, giving increased protection from both long rods and HEAT warheads.
The armor protecting the engine are composites and plastics which provide adequate protection while being extremely light.
The crew is housed in a armored pod with layers of tungsten and ceramics on the sides and composites on the top. Two layers of NERA surround the crew, giving this tank incredible survivability from all forms of attack from any angle.
Active Protection Systems
The T-95 is equipped with a instant scan radar that can detect ATGMs and incoming artillery shells. The Arena-C system uses this radar to intercept ATGMs using grenades. The Shtora-C system uses smoke, flares, and chaff to defeat guidance systems on ATGMs. When the radar detects incoming artillery, the shells are mapped on a 3D mapping system, aiding the crew in evasion. Also included is a low intensity laser that is used to blind enemy tanks and infantry. It has an effective range of 5km and can blind eyes and the optics of enemy tanks.
Fire Control, Observation, and Communication
The fire control system is the J-LOCK-C fire control system. It is capable of locking onto and tracking 10 different targets and engaging them in just over half a minute. The fire control system is fed from six different cameras that have a x15 zoom and thermal sights that provide a constant 360 degree view at all times. When more the one target is being engaged the next can be blinded with the laser.
The communication is provided by the J-RAY-B GPS IVIS system. A platoon, company, or battalion of tanks can be linked across this system. All units linked appear on a GPS map. The onboard computer communicate with each other and feed each other fire control data, nav data, and various other stuff. For example one T-95 will never engage the same tank as another in its platoon because every tank knows whose firing at what.
Weapons
The main gun of the T-95UM is the 152mm electro-thermal smoothbore gun. The gun can fire APFSDS, HEAT, and HE-FRAG. The gun is fed by an auto loader that provides a firing rate of 15 rounds per minute. 40 rounds of ammo is stored in the turret. Maximum effective direct fire range is 7km while indirect fire range is 15km.
The main gun can also fire the California Mountain Snake guided shell. The California Mountain Snake is a triple HEAT warhead that is guided on thermal or radar signatures. The HEAT warheads are massive and do a lot of damage.
The main gun can also fire the Black Mamba APFSDS/HEAT tandem warhead. The HEAT warhead is mounted ahead of the rod, the HEAT warhead impacts first softening up the armor for the rod. The rod and the warhead can be switched so that the rod impacts first.
The secondary weapon is a 25mm grenade launcher with a range of 2,500m. 500 rounds of HE are stored on a belt in the turret. The grenades are airbursting are can hit infantry in defilade. Also mounted is a 7.62mm machine gun.
Power Plant
The engine on the T-95UM is a 1800 horsepower hydrogen turbine. The fuel cells operate by pulling the electrons off of an H2 molecule, splitting it into 2H+ molecules and 2 electrons. The electrons pass through the "load" (engines, weapons, avionics, etc.) creating current and powering the systems. Meanwhile, the 2H+ molecules pass from the anode to the cathode through the electrolyte. At the other "end", the electrons then recombine with the 2H+ molecules and Oxygen (from the air) and are release as water from the rear of the vehicle or for storage in the rear tanks for comsumption.
Cost: 7.5 million USD
