Dongara will be phasing out it's T-80, with the new HauptcPanzer. The most significant difference between the new tank and T-80 is the completely redesigned turret and the lengthened hull with 7 roadwheels per side. The new turret will have a larger degree of protection than the current MBTs. The steep slope of forward armor plates on the turret reflects designers' desire to maximize protection from APFSDS rounds in a duel situation, when tanks fight "face to face".
For additional protection, the tank is fitted with Kaktus ERA and the new Drozd-2 APS. Another innovation is a new automated ammo storage/loader, located in a turret bustle. It is separated from crew compartment by an armored bulkhead which greatly increases crew survivability. This design has several reasons. First, the carousel used in T-80 is too prone to ammo detonation when penetrated, invariably killing the crew. Finally, horizontal ammunition arrangement in the turret bustle permits using longer (and therefore, more powerful) APFSDS rounds, unitary ammunition, simplified automatic loading process and increased rate of fire (expected to reach 10-12 rds/min).
The HauptcPanzer's on-board information system monitors all essential systems of the vehicle, and permits automated data exchange with other tanks and headquarters.
The tank shall have a new 1200 hp 16-cyl. turbo-diesel engine and shall weigh around 50 tons.
All tanks feature digital fire control systems with laser range-finders, fully stabilized main gun and coaxial machinegun and night vision equipment (first vehicles used a Low-Light Level TV system or LLLTV, thermal imaging was introduced later on). The tank has the ability to engage moving targets while moving over rough terrain. It can drive through water 4 meters deep using a snorkel or 1.2 meters without any preparation and climb vertical obstacles over 1 meter high
