120 mm smoothbore gun serves as follows:

             - to defeat tanks and other armored targets of the enemy;

- to suppress and eliminate the fire means and personal of the enemy

 

To fire the gun, the rounds of separate loading are used – with missile, armour-piercing projectile, heat and high-            explosive fragmentation projectiles.

 

The main type of fire – direct laying, fire. The gun design also allows to deliver fire from closed positions.

The gun is loaded by means of the auto loader and in case of its failure, - manually.

BALLISTIC PROTECTION

 

Armor protection

 

Type

anti-projectile, combined, multi-layer, against HEAT and AP projectiles hitting (with provision for mounting the dynamic protection complex)

 

Explosive reactive armor (ERA)

 

ERA kit is designed for improving the tank protection level from HEAT and AP projectiles.

The armor protection with ERA provides the protection against:

-        hand anti-tank grenades, hand-held and heavy grenade launcher and recoilless gun projectiles;

-        anti-tank missiles ‘TOW-2’, ‘Milan’, ‘Shturm-S’;

-        HEAT projectiles of 125-mm smoothbore tank guns (3BK-14, 3BK-18);

-        AP projectiles of 120-mm smoothbore tank guns (CL-3069) and 125-mm (3BM-22, 3BM-26, 3BM-42).

ERA consists of front module and side skirts mounted on the tank hull as wells modular sections arranged along the perimeter of front and side sections of the turret and containers mounted on the turret roof.

Placed in special recesses ‘Nozh’ protection elements reliably operate under the action of all types of hollow-charge hitting means and AP projectiles.

ERA elements on the top frontal hull part, frontal turret sections provide the protection against minimum 3 hits of HEAT and AP projectiles on the part (front module or turret side) and against four hits of anti-tank air bombs - on the turret roof, against two hits of HEAT projectiles or three hits of AP projectiles - on the hull sides.

‘Nozh’ protection elements integrated in ERA do not detonate at the impact of 12.7-mm bullets, AP projectiles of up to 30 mm and projectile fragments, they are safe when handling.

When the dynamic protection is hit by the above bullets and projectiles as well the HEAT and HE projectile fragments, this results in explosive ignition without transition to detonation.

‘Nozh’ protection elements are stored in a container or in the tank in heated storehouses or outside under a shed on the ground protected from atmospheric precipitation and sun radiation, at a temperature from minus 50 °С to +55 °С. The relative air humidity is allowed to be 100% at a temperature of  +35 °С.

‘Nozh’ protection elements are serviceable within 10 years, including storage under field conditions for minimum 5 years and operation in the tank for minimum 3 years when observing the operation, transportation and storage rules.

The tank ERA is brought in combat position within 2.5…2.6 hours without special facilities by the tank crew by arranging the elements of dynamic protection.

 

Mine protection

 

The mine protection provides saving the crew’s combat power and serviceability of the tank equipment when blasting the mines under the track with trinitrotoluol equivalent of 10 kg, and under the bottom (in the front compartment) the mines with that of 4 kg.

Radiation and chemical agents detector PRHR-M1

 PRHR-М1 (RCAD) is designed for continuous check-up, detection, signalling and control using actuators of protection means :

- during  intensive  gamma- radiation (nuclear blast);

- during gamma-radiation on the contaminated terrain followed by measuring the doze of radiation ;

- during detection of poisonous vapors in the air as a result of enemy actions.

 

The instrument provides light and audible signals in case of detection poisonous agents in the air or gamma-radiation on the terrain as well as it generates commands for switching blower  on and shifting over the valve of filtering ventilation unit (FVU)  in the filtering position.

The instrument provides light and audible signals in case of detection powerful gamma radiation as well as commands for engine shutdown, shifting over the valve of FVU in the filtering ventilation mode, switching off the blower if it was on, followed by switching it on in 30 to 50  sec.

The instrument provides checking its electrical circuits by generation commands (or without command generation) to actuators.

In this fuel apparatus used are nozzles with locking needle.

The engine consists of crankshaft mechanism, crank cases, cylinders, shifting over  mechanism, compressor, gas turbine and hang-up assemblies: starter-generator, water pump, air compressor TK-150, regulator, fuel priming pump, fuel filters, high pressure fuel pumps, oil centrifugal filter, air distributor  and other units.

Engine cylinder are arranged horizontally. Each cylinder has inlet ports and outlet ports. Inlet ports serve for blowing and filling the cylinders by air, outlet port provide exhaust gas withdrawal. Improved configuration of the inlet ports provides improvement of efficiency due to perfection of gas exchange process and mixture formation. Exhaust gases leaving the cylinders flow through the outlet collector to gas turbine.

Each cylinder holds two oppositely moving pistons. When they move  to each other as close as possible formed is combustion chamber. Each piston is connected with  its own crankshaft by the connecting rod. These pistons making their reciprocal motion open and close inlet and outlet ports and carry out the function of gas distribution mechanism. In these pistons used are the improved needle bearing of the upper head of the connecting rod and making it possible to increase maximum burning pressure, service life and reliability.

The compressor of inlet air provides improvement of the diesel parameter due to more efficient compression process attained by improved aerodynamics of flowing part.

Gas turbine converts the energy of exhaust gases into mechanical energy for driving the compressor.

The engine is mounted in the power pack compartment. Its installation does not require any adjustment. Axles of the engine crankshafts are arranged laterally to longitudinal tank axle.

The engine is fastened in three places. Two yokes fasten it in the rear part and pivoting bearing fastens it in the front.
