«Object 640", nicknamed the "Black Eagle", is a project of the prospective Russian tank.We developed it in the '90s of the last century the design office of the Omsk Transport Machine-Building.The prototype was demonstrated in 1997, it is a modified chassis of the T-80U with the tower of the new structure.
online game "World of Tanks" and its impact on society
Through the computer game World of Tanks («World of Tanks"), today's young people became interested in armored vehicles as the period of the Second World War, and modern systems.Ten years ago, few young people could be described as what the tanks were involved in one or another military campaign, which models produced the participating countries of the war, not to mention their technical characteristics.Today, however, even schoolchildren easily guided in these matters, they discuss what kinds of ammunition to use in a given situation, develop a strategy to combat various types of military equipment in certain geographical conditions, taking into account the terrain and others.Of course, the game "World of Tanks" is limited to models of armored vehicles of World War II and the postwar period.There can not be found fighting systems, standing in service in modern armies of the world, but the process, as they say, does not stop if the youth interested in something, it is here to stay.And more and more inquiring minds are turning to the World Wide Web with the aim to get acquainted with new products of tank, their characteristics, and so on. D. On one of these models, yet to adopt, and we will cover in this article.
General
Russian tank "Black Eagle" refers to the fourth generation system, it realized the mass of innovative solutions.In addition, applying layout, which differs significantly from both domestic and foreign armored vehicles.Engineers have proposed a new form of performance with significantly reduced tower height and dimensions of the body other than the sectioned bow.In order to improve its protection of the crew placed below the turret.The cabin is completely isolated from the reserved fuel and shells and propellant exhaust gases generated during firing.Ammunition of the first stage is placed in the automatic loader in a special protected removable module which is mounted in the turret.Tank "Black Eagle" (photo, above, demonstrates the model) has a three-level protection, which includes the active agent from falling shells, moving in the direction of the machine, as well as differentially placed passive armor with elements of hydrodynamic and dynamic protection.
concept
According to many experts, today there is no place to tank battles that characterized the Second World War.Modern military operations exclude major confrontation armed forces, they have a local point principle, which requires correspondingly small amount of equipment and manpower.For such tactics battle tank "Black Eagle" is the optimal machine with increased power and mobility.It is suitable for rapid deployment and transportation, including air travel.
design description
Tank "Black Eagle" consists of the chassis with caterpillars, the body with a habitable compartment and the engine compartment, the tower complex weapons (high performance ammunition, gun with automatic loader) and protection.The tower has the form of a low flat dome, armored rounded front and straight on the sides of the rear plate.Tank "Black Eagle" is equipped with a set of instruments that can detect radiation of optical and electronic media of the enemy and suppress them, as well as to identify and destroy weapons attack, attack from a distance, eliminating damage to the machine itself.The bow of the armored corps is divided into sealed compartments isolated, set along the longitudinal axis.In the side compartments are located fuel tanks, and on average - the separation of management.In case there is a hatch for the driver, and in the tower - for the commander and gunner.Crew compartment is equipped with adjustable seats for the crew.All ammunition is located outside the housing at a maximum distance from the dwelling units.Shells are the first stage of the tower, the roof of the engine compartment.
Track equipped with special removable expanders with the possibility of mounting on both sides of the tracks.Dimensions of the tank with the removal of outer expanders comply with railway standards.
Innovation
to Omsk constructors tank "Black Eagle" has become a testing ground for the introduction of new, unparalleled in the world of technical solutions.Thus, innovation is at the location of residential units and de-reserve supply of fuel as well as the location of ammunition in a separate plug-in unit will significantly increase crew survivability on the battlefield, even in case of direct contact with the body shell of the enemy, and a three-level security system has significantly reduced this possibility.
Prospects
According to statements by representatives of the Russian Defense Ministry, the production of this tank is not planned.However, the solutions that were worked out in the above model will serve as an essential stepping stone for modernization of existing systems, such as the innovative elements of this project are being introduced as modifications to tanks T-55 and T-80U.But that's not all, are now under development a new project tracked platform codenamed "Armata".The basis for this car were the T-95, "Black Eagle" and T-80U.The new model plan to put the troops in 2015.Thus, the T-95, "Black Eagle" and T-80U due to its unique combat system contributed to the creation of a new generation of armored vehicles in our country.The "Armata" is a unified platform for the heavy battle tanks, armored infantry support, armored recovery technology, as well as self-propelled artillery.
