Marrocos também recebeu F-16 novos em folha, fragatas, etc.

Todos os países que não produzem e mantém os seus meios, estarão sempre na mão dos fornecedores, isso passa-se até com as todas poderosas Forças Armadas dos EUA, Russia e China.

Há casos e casos Cabeça. Estes países citados por exemplo, possuem todas as condições de, em havendo decisão, desenvolver ou manter capacidade de suprir internamente suas ffaa's. E na verdade é tão pouco o que eles recebem de fora, que não chega a ser um problema ou limitação, ao contrário de vários países da Europa e a totalidade do resto do mundo.

Em todo caso, apesar do Marrocos possuir vários equipamento modernos, isso por si só não significa que eles sejam um oponente capaz. Várias vezes diversos países naquele TO demonstraram incompetência exemplar em relação ao uso de seus militares. E não foi por falta de treinamento e/ou apoio.

Não conheço a fundo a realidade das ffaa's marroquinas, mas a julgar pelo histórico da região, é de esperar para ver se realmente todo esse poderia será bem usado, ou não.

Russian army unveils new BMPT fire support armored vehicle at military parade rehearsal

On April 6, 2018, during the rehearsal of military parade for Victory Day 2018, taking place every year May 9 in the center of Moscow, Russian army has unveiled new BMPT fire support vehicle. During Army-2017, the International Military Technical Forum that was held in August 2017, Russia’s Ministry of Defense has signed a contract for the supply of the first BMPT fire support combat vehicles to the Russian arm

The first version of the BMPT was based on the chassis of the T-72 main battle tank (MBT). The development of the first variant of the BMPT was launched in the late 1990s. The vehicle is designed to support tank units. The idea to build new heavily armed tank support vehicles emerged on the basis of experience acquired by the Russian military during the First Chechen War in North Caucasus, especially during the urban fighting in Grozny in 1995 when Russian troops lost a large number of combat vehicles to “guerrilla warfare” tactics used by Chechen separatists.

A new version of the BMPT was unveiled in 2013 during a defense Exhibition in Nizhny Tagil under the name of BMPT-72, which seems very similar to the version showed at the military parade rehearsal of April 6, 2018. But according to our first analysis, the new version is fitted with new reactive armour mounted on each side of the hull.

The main armament of the BMPT presented at the Russian military parade rehearsal 2018 consists of two 30 mm 2A42 coaxial automatic cannons with an ammunition load of 850 rounds, two launchers for anti-tank guided missiles are mounted on each side of the turret guided missiles. Second armament includes on a 7.62 mm PKTM coaxial machine gun.

The BMPT has a crew of three including driver, commander and gunner. The gunner has a combined sight with optical and thermal imaging channels integrating laser range finder and a laser missile guiding channel. The BMPT has the capacity to identify enemy threats a distance of 5,000 m by day via the sight and 3,300 m by night thanks to the thermal imaging system.

The tank commander has a day-night sight including panoramic TV and thermal imaging sight with an integrated laser range finder and independent dual-axis field of view stabilization. It can recognize a tank-type target at a distance of 5,000 m by day via the TV channel and 3,300 m by night.

Não ficaria surpreso, pelo jeito que tomam as decisões aqui: "ah, 2A4 é muito pesado, comprem mais M60".

THE BUZZ
Russia's T-90 Is Dangerous Weapon. Could It Beat America's Best Tank in Battle?

While the T-14 Armata might be Russia’s latest and greatest tank, it still is not ready for service. In order to bolster the capabilities of their more conventional tank fleet while the Armata is being prepared, Russia continues to modernize its current “top-tier” tanks, such as the T-90. Recently forty T-90Ms, the latest variant of the T-90, were reported to be ready for delivery in the near future to combat units. Similar to the M1A2 SEP v3, this is an upgrade kit that builds upon and improves the capabilities of the tank. It is unknown at this time whether the T-90Ms being delivered are kits being retrofitted to T-90s or T-90As. But how do these two souped-up tanks compare?

Unlike earlier generations of Russian tanks, the T-90M has practically every feature that modern Western tanks enjoy. While earlier tanks sometimes lacked an independent commander thermal sight, instead only having independent commander day/night sights, the T-90M mounts the PK-PAN independent commander sight. The gunner’s sight is also thermal, the now-standard Sosna-U module. Both of these sights appear to still use the French Catherine thermal matrices, there is no indication that the Russian Irbis-K thermal modules have been implemented in the T-90M as it will be procured. These two sights are linked, with the tank’s information-management system able to pass a target designated by the commander directly to the gunner. Russian sources state that this is the first time such a feature has been implemented on a domestic tank. However, this has been a standard feature of Western tanks for some time.




The Kontakt-5 explosive-reactive armor on earlier T-90s is replaced by the more effective Relikt. Some kind of net or chain armor appears to be deployed under the turret Relikt packages to decrease the effectiveness of HEAT shots to that area. While earlier photos of the T-90M showed slat armor in this area, photos from late 2017 and early 2018 show net armor here. Slat armor is also added to the rear of the tank to decrease the chances of a mobility kill. Fourth-generation Malachit ERA could later be fitted to the T-90M, but there are no pictures of T-90Ms with Malachit, and the first T-90Ms will likely be delivered without it. The gun’s accuracy is also improved, but it remains a variant of the 2A46 cannon. The commander’s 12.7-millimeter machine-gun system also appears to be a new design, mounted high up above the commander’s thermal sight. This is taller than earlier T-90s, and probably provides increased functionality similar to the American CROWS systems.

The laser detection and presumably smoke deployment modules of the Shtora active protection system are retained, however, the active jamming “eyes” are removed. It’s speculated that the reason for this is Shtora’s ineffective nature against modern ATGMs. It is speculated that the Armata’s Afghanit APS could be later fitted to the T-90M later on, but there are no current pictures or evidence that Afghanit is being implemented on the T-90M. The T-90M also appears to feature increased creature comforts, including air-conditioning units. The driver’s station is also modernized, changing from the harder-to-learn and -use levers of earlier Russian tanks into a yoke-type similar to that used on the M1A2 Abrams. It also features a diagnostic/logistic management system and improved radios.

The M1A2 SEP v3 includes many of the same upgrades as the T-90M: an unknown hull and turret armor upgrade, improved (third-generation) thermal imagers for the commander and gunner’s sights, and a revised CROWS system. Interestingly enough, the new CROWS for the SEP v3 is revised to be lower profile, whereas on the T-90M the profile of the remote weapon station is increased. While the actual cannon remains unchanged on the M1A2 SEP v3, an ammunition datalink is added that allowed to use new HE MPAT rounds. The M829A4 APFSDS round is also included with the SEP v3 update, giving increased capability. It also includes the Trophy active-protection system. Like the T-90M, improved radios and logistical systems are part of the update.

Comparing the two, the armaments are practically the same. While the ammunition datalink being part of the SEP v3 is reported as an innovation, the Russians have fielded similar capability with the Ainet ammunition datalink since the T-90K in the early 1990s. Ammunition quality is probably relatively similar, although the new M829A4 is said to be able to defeat third-generation ERA packages, which would include the T-90M’s Relikt. The T-90M’s slat and net armor packages would have no effect on an APFSDS round, as they are geared towards HEAT-type projectiles. The T-90M likely uses the same “Svinets” rounds which have been in service since the 2000s, which are considered to be fairly lethal. The T-90M also retains the ability to shoot the Invar gun-launched ATGMs, a capability the M1A2 never really possessed despite the theoretical ability to do so with Israeli LAHAT missiles. In terms of detection, the M1A2 is probably superior because of the third-generation domestic thermal imagers, compared to the T-90M’s foreign export imagers. Mobility wise, the T-90M’s lighter weight gives it increased operational mobility.

In a fight, the M1A2 SEP v3’s Trophy system would probably neutralize any advantage the T-90M’s Invar-M ATGM gives. The Invar’s speed of 350 m/s is well within Trophy’s interception window, given that a Rafael states that Trophy is able to intercept HEAT AT rounds, which can travel in the range of nine hundred m/s. Coming down to a gunfight, both tanks likely could penetrate each other and probably possess similar levels of gun accuracy. That said, the M1A2 SEP v3’s crew is more likely to survive a penetration, since the ammunition is stored in an armored bustle separated from the crew with blowout panels in the rear of the turret. The T-90M partly retains the old-school Russian arrangement, with ammunition in the autoloader being placed around the turret crew. But some rounds have been moved into a separate compartment in the turret bustle with blowout panels similar to the Abrams, as the T-90M turret is significantly longer than a regular T-90 or T-72 turret. The victorious tank would likely be that with the more skilled crew.

Se melhorar o sistema de tiro do T-90M, vejo uma vantagem ligeira pra este, com uma mobilidade melhor e um sistemas de detecção parecidos.

Mas queria ver como se daria numa comparação com o Leopard Revo de 2016, que tem opção de motor com 1,800 hp, mobilidade bem maior que a do M1A2 SEP3 e o AMAP ADS, que é bem mais eficiente que o Trophy.

German Army takes delivery of modified Leopard 2 A6MA2 battle tanks



The German Army has taken delivery of the first three modified and upgraded ‘German-Dutch’ Leopard battle tanks from defence manufacturer Kraus Maffei Wegmann.

Leopard 2 A6MA2 battle tanks will be able to communicate digitally with Dutch forces using the new communication and information system.

Royal Netherlands Army landing forces commander lieutenant general Leo Beulen said: “In operations high in the spectrum of force and as part of credible deterrence, the tank is indispensable.


“The Leopard offers a unique combination of firepower, protection, terrain and can be used in all weather conditions. And now the tank is also fully up-to-date digitally.”

“Upgraded German battle tanks will be deployed to participate in the German-Dutch contribution to the Nato flash force next year.”
Since 2015, soldiers from the two countries formed 414 Tank Battalion under the command of 43 Mechanized Brigade from Havelte in the Netherlands.

The Dutch brigade is part of the German 1 Panzer division, which allows soldiers from both countries to learn each other’s military techniques, culture and language.

The battlefield management system helps the German-Dutch 414 Tank Battalion fully participate in the Dutch brigade.

A delivery of 17 modernised battle tanks is expected to arrive with the 414 Tank battalion before July, bringing the total number of vehicles to 40.

Upgraded German battle tanks will be deployed to participate in the German-Dutch contribution to the Nato flash force next year.

Leopard 2 A6 version is equipped with the 120mm L55 smoothbore gun and can engage targets at a distance of up to 6,000m.

Upgraded Leopard 2A6MA2 tanks feature the Blue Force Tracking System, which enables them to distinguish their own troops to considerably reduce the risk of attacking them.
