Kazakhstania has not realeased much lately. After starting off a succesful storefront and making many other products, we have decided to take a break. But now, we are back with a powerful new Battle Tank, that is amphibious and still magaes to be a succesful, leading and powerful Tank on land.

We release to you, the.....

M-34 Amphibious Main Battle Tank

http://www.sinodefence.com/army/tank/type63a_1.jpg

Design

Designed to be a strong Battle Tank with a large arnament and Amphibious capabilities, this design was going to be hard. It had to handle well in the water but at the same time move well and be able to fight well on land. A large pair of water jets were also needed, which is why it has a long shape, a flat Glacis and a sloping underside. This brilliant design allows it to be amphibious, fast, and still be effective on land.

Its armor is made out of an Experimental Titanium Alloy in an Epoxy Resin Honeycomb, backed by a layer of steel and lastly a layer of interwoven Fibres and Ceramics. All this has spacers and Tungstena and Diamond Pigments in the mix. This is a stronger armor than the previous Titanium Epoxy Resin, yet it is still lighter than most tank armor thanks to the Fibres that work with the Ceramics. But, most importantly, the plastic Fibres and Epoxy Resin make it float like a cork, which is pretty important.

The engine that runs it all is huge. It is a 1000 HorsePower Engine, which has dual compatability. It has two modes, water turbine mode and land mode, and they cannot be used together. Though, when used apart, they are effective and very, very good. It can move to 28 km/h in the water, and a full 56mph on land. A subsytem in the tank allows for quick and automatic driving, allowing for better economics and easier turning. The whole thing is monitored by a computer, and will not move without it.

The angular shapes all around give added round protection as rounds are more likely to deflect off. The turret armor is very thick, at 350mm, and the body armor is 200mm all around. The inside is seperated by bulkheads between the crew, and the ammo stores are situated off to one side, behind a layer of Ceramics and Tungsten. As not shown in the picture, there are our new NEDA blocks which have the same effect as ERA, but do not as it were explode as violently.

The NEDA is explosive armor which expldoes outwards when a blast is coming in. ERA did this, but with NEDA there are hexagons which each detect an incoming explosion, and explode only that sector than the whole block. It is a very effective system, and saves all the blocks from being used up. It is also safer fir infantary near by, as the smaller more centred explosion only explodes in the projectile, not in all directions. The NEDA blocks are high up on the tank, which means it does not effect the floating of the tank.

The jet turbine system is driven by the Hydrogen motor. It compresses the water and mixes it with air, and sends it flying out the other side aided by high pressure gas that is created in the whole chemical proccess. The engine is believe it or not, water cooled, for nice running on the land. The water is projected ou the back, to push the vehicle forward, as does the sucking in of water nearer the front.

Systems

The systems on this vehicle are like no other, and are the same as those on the M-26.

First off, there is the Joint Tactical Infomation Distrubtion System. It allows tanks to talk to other tanks, records and sends data and manages the tanks communications systems. It is high speed and is managed by the SuperComputer just in front of the engine. It looks after inter-tank and inside tank information, and can communicate with any JTIDS equipped vehilce/unit on the planet. It either uses Sattelite Communication or laser Communication.

The little antinnae on the tanks roof does a lot. It transmits all satellite, radio and laser communications to communicate in any way. It is directly linked to the SuperComputer and can transmit to any covered area on the globe. This may seem minor, but is central in communication. The new addition for this tank is a millimeter wave radio, which was inspired by quite a few sources. It may not be as small as other,s, but waterproofing needed doing.

The 360 degree camra systems are mounted on the roof and are intergrated with the Thermal and Night Vision Imaging systems. There are 2, for the Gunner and Commander. Screens at each position show the tanks status and various other things which are monitored by sensors and the SuperComputer.

The targetting system is enabled by both the gunner and commander. It conveys messages to the Autoloader, co-axial gun and turret mounted gun. The aiming sytem incorporates wind, temperature and target positioning and caters for it in adjusting the gun. The gunne can even target manually. It can be set to aim at Heat giving objects or targets given to it by the JTIDS. It also manages the targetting of the Anti Missile Laser, depending on which mode it is set to. This means quick and effective anti missile targeting.

The tank economy system monitors the engine and tread movement and modifies it depending on where the gunner wants the tank to go. It also varies the water exhaust flow, and manages the movement controls. A full NBC system is installed with filters in between the crew compartments and various exhaust systems.

The Jammer installed is a Multi-Frequency Electrnoic Jammer, nicknamed ARENA-3. It can jam electronics up to 600 metres away guranteed and less so for hardened systems. For extra dosh, an anti jammer jammer called Dragon can be installed.

The supercmputer itself is ultra fast and can hold, give and pass onn info in nano seconds. It is liquid cooled, amazingly by the liquid produced by the engine. It maintains everything in the tank, and is vital.

Also added for this version is a track economy system. This regulates the turning of the tracks to get the direction wanted by the driver. The driver merely points the direction, the computer regulates the turn speed on what is needed, and runs the tracks at varying speeds to allow for long slow turns. It also regulates the turning system for the water jets, in the same manner.

Arnament

The arnament was an important part of this tank, and has been taken very seriously. The arnament on this tank was seriously effected by the possible size, but we have got the best arnament in we could get. So, here it is.

The Main Arnament is an 125mm Electro Thermal Chemical Cannon. This fairly large cannon can burn through the armor of most tanks, like the M1A2, T-90, Merkeva and every tank smaller than that in existance. It is reliable, and backed by a fast 15 RPM autoloader. It magazine is 18 rounds on the Autoloader belt, 12 on the Autloader Reloader and 15 in reserve.

http://armor.kiev.ua/fofanov/Tanks/ARM/2a46m.gif

The Secondary Arnament is a new concpt for us. It is a 30mm AutoCannon to take out APC's, IFV's and some older tanks. This high velocity AutoCannon is fast firing and accurate, attached to the main barrel. It has 250 rounds in reserve. On the top of the tank, the commanders weapon is a 12.7mm Machine Gun. It can be fired from outside or inside the tank, using a firing computer.

The ATGM's on the tank are eight Kornet ATGM's. Theya re in two pods out in front of the tank, so they do not explode into it and damage it if hit.
They are used in combination with the JTIDS and Targetting System, to have multiple target for a number of circumstances.

Countermeasures include eight 40mm Grenade launchers, two of which are loaded with flares, two with Chaff and four with Smoke Grenades.
Also, there are several rear facing smoke dischargers, which can be loaded with a variety of loads. These allow the tank to quickly conceal themsleves when under fire.

http://www.sinodefence.com/army/tank/type98_5.jpg

An Anti Missile Laser System is also fitted, as in our other vehicles. These can protect the vehicle from missiles, RPG's, and even shells. It is a free rotating platform and uses the targettign system, JTIDS and sensors to track and target a missile. This new upgrade allows it to be used against infantary, is told to by the gunner.

Just a little correction:

The T-64 is actually supposed to be a better tank than the T-72, which was built for export to other Soviet Bloc countries while the T-64 was russian-only.

But the LRRA will buy 10 of these tanks.

08-10-2004, 23:55
Well, the T-62 and T-64 are two distinctive tanks. The T-64 is a fairly modern vehicle, equipped with a 125mm gun, and represents the step made by the russian arms industry from the T-55 series medium tank to the T-80 series.

The T-62, on the other hand, is simply an evolution of the T-55 series tanks, featuring a larger (115mm) main gun.

I still found the T-62 and the 64 a bit of a waste of money. The T-72 is a great tank, and its steps to the T-80 and 90 were revolutionary.
