Armour

T-72 Main battle tank
The tank is fitted with a 125mm D-81 smoothbore gun, a 7.62mm co-axial machine gun and a 12.7mm air defence machine gun mounted on the commander's cupola. The tank carries 45 rounds of 125mm ammunition, 22 rounds of which are carried on an automatic loading carousel. The gun fires separate loading armour piercing discarding sabot rounds (APDS), high explosive anti-tank rounds (HEAT) and high explosive fragmentation (HE-FRAG) projectiles. Fire accuracy is attained by a laser rangefinder sight, ballistic computer and a thermal barrel sleeve. Dual axis stabilisation ensures effective firing on the move.

The tank's anti-armour missile system is the 9K120 Svir (Nato codename AT-11 Sniper), designed by the KBP Instrument Design Bureau, Tula. The system is intended to engage tanks fitted with ERA (Explosive Reactive Armour) as well as low-flying air targets. It has a range of 100m to 4,000m and firing requires the tank to be stationary. The systems 9M119 missile has semi-automatic laser beamriding guidance. The gun's automatic loader will feed both ordnance and missiles.

PROTECTION

The hull and turret are protected by armour plating, including combined armour arrays over the frontal arc. Since 1988, explosive reactive armour (ERA) has been fitted. The running gear is protected by gill type armour panels. A smokescreen can be laid by the 902B Tucha smoke discharging system or by an exhaust smoke laying system.

PROPULSION

The tank is equipped with a V-84 liquid cooled four stroke multi-fuel diesel engine which develops 618kW (840hp), providing a power to weight ratio of 13.8kW/t, planetary transmission with hydraulic servo-control system, running gear with RMSH track and torsion bar suspension with hydraulic shock absorbers.

The tank has a road speed of 60km/h and 35km/h on dry earth roads. The range on roads with main fuel tanks is 500km. The tank can negotiate fording depths to 1.2m without preparation and snorkels can be fitted for fording to a depth of 5m.

This is at present the strongest Tank of the CP red army, numbering some 300 highly professional units

Airforce
Helicopters
MI-24
http://www.heliplus.com/mi24.jpg
The five-blade main rotor is mounted on top of fuselage midsection, while short, stubby, weapon-carrying wings are mounted at the fuselsage midsection. Two turboshaft engines are mounted above body midsection with two round air intakes located just above the cockpit and exhaust ports on the sides of engines. The Hind A fuselage consists of a large, oval-shaped body with a glassed-in cockpit, tapering at the rear to the tail boom. The Hind D fuselage features nose modification with tandem bubble canopies, and a chin-mounted turret. The swept-back tapered tail fin features a rotor on the right on some models, with tapered flats on a boom just forward of the fin.

External stores are mounted on underwing external stores points. Each wing has three hardpoints for a total of six stations. A representative mix when targeting armor formations would be eight AT-6 ATGMs, 750x 30-mm rounds, and two 57-mm rocket pods. The aircraft can store an additional ammunition basic load in the cargo compartment in lieu of carrying troops. Armored cockpits and titanium rotor head able to withstand 20-mm cannon hits. Every aircraft has an overpressurization system for operation in a NBC environment.
The HIND’s wings provide 22% to 28% of its lift in forward flight. In a steep banking turn at slower airspeeds, the low wing can lose lift while it is maintained on the upper wing, resulting in an excessive roll. This is countered by increasing forward airspeed to increase lift on the lower wing. Because of this characteristic, and the aircraft’s size and weight, it is not easily maneuverable. Therefore they usually attack in pairs or multiple pairs, and from various directions.

VARIANTS
Nearly all of the older HIND A, B and C variants have been upgraded or modified to the HIND D or E standard.
Mi-24D/HIND D: Direct air support.
Mi-24V/HIND E: Direct air support. Most proliferated version.
Mi-24P/HIND F: Direct air support. The fixed twin gun cut the turret profile, and empty weight to 8,200 kg, while boosting maximum gross weight to 12,000 kg.
Mi-24R/HIND G-1: NBC sampling. It has mechanisms to obtain soil and air samples, filter air, and place marker flares.
Mi-24K/HIND G-2: Photo-recon, and artillery spotting. Has a camera in cabin, gun, rocket pods, but no targeting system.
Mi-25: Export version of the HIND D.
Mi-35: Export version of the HIND E. The Mi-35M has a twin barrel 23-mm gun.
Mi-35P: Export version of the HIND F.

Mig-31
The wings of the aircraft are high-mounted and swept-back with square tips and a negative slant. There are four underwing pylons. There are two turbofan engines in the fuselage. There are rectangular and diagonal cut air intakes on sides of the fuselage. The exhausts extend beyond the tail plane. The fuselage is rectangular from the intakes to the exhausts and has a long, pointed nose. The aircraft has a bubble canopy. The tail fins are back-tapered with angular tips and canted outward. The flats are swept-back and tapered and mid- to low-mounted on the body.

The Mig31M is an improved version of the basic Mig31. It includes the new SBI-16 Zaslon radar radar. What make the Mig 31 such an effective aircraft is not features such as agility (which it is not renoun for) or speed (which it has plenty of!) but in it's weapons system of which the radar is a major part. As stated before the radar can track 10 targets and engage 4, the mission computer automatically selects the four most threatening targets. The MiG-31 can engage targets spread over a greater area than can its Western equivalent, the F-14. Due to the Mig31's impressive radar, speed and ability to carry long range missiles they can cover a large swathe of terrotory. In a flight of four aircraft Mig31s can cover a 900km front, sharing information through a digital datalink. They can also act as an AWACs directing other fighters to targets. For emmission free detection the Mig 31 is deployed with an IRST. On the standard Mig31 this is semi retractable but on the Mig31M it is non retractable. This long range fighter (fitted for in flight refueling) is one of the most expensive fighters that Russia has produced. It is used soely by Russia. The cockpits were upgraded in the Mig 31M with a number of Cathode Ray Tubes (CRT) and an increased number of missiles.

In 1992 the Chinese reached agreement with the Russian Federation to buy 24 MiG-31 Foxhound long-range interceptors. The MiG-31s were expected to be assembled at a newly set-up factory in Shenyang, with production at a rate of four per month expected by 2000. The last aircraft was to be delivered by the year 2000. According to some reports the agreement included a license to build as many as 700 aircraft, and some projection envisioned that at least 200 would actually be deployed by the year 2010.

My Polish comrade, what sort of self respecting communist power would debase itself by equipping its armed forces with T-55s, of all things?

http://military.szm.sk/fgaleria/t72.jpg
A much better design, the T-72.
Note that the red banners add a proletarian flare to our armed forces.

"--- Military Technology"

Yeah, REAL original there ;)

check my post properly comrade and you will see the T-55's are "b" & "C" units at present i do not have a strong enough economy to mass produce the T-72 for b & c units so i have to rely on the T-55 for now
