Hmmm. That remote weapon station sure looks "borrowed" and I can't help but wonder about the optics systems. Almost as interesting as the T-90MS is the Terminator. I would label it an Infantry Support Vehicle (ISV). Twin 30mm cannons against infantry in an urban setting must be devastating. But the high tech trend for Armored Vehicles does have a silver lining for the Infantry in defense. If your designated marksman can get hits on the optics then you wouldn't have the vaunted hard or mobility kill but you would in essence degrade a fighting vehicle greatly.
I wonder if anyone's School of Infantry has tested the concept.
Both Russia and Israel have produced some very interesting heavy infantry carriers, infantry support, and combat engineer vehicles based off tank chassis the past number of years.
ReplyDeleteThat said they can dress up the T-90 all they want but it's still just an improved T-72.
