Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Recently read that Russia are purchasing 80 new T-72B3M.....That seems quite a lot for tank biathlons, including the examples they already have, that's about three battalions worth! Anyone know more? On 6/7/2018 at 9:07 AM, stalal said: What are the major differences between T-80 and T-90 tanks? It would be a lot easier to list what they have in common TBH.....They are essentially unrelated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps, we are talking about those teams of tank biathlon that have the T-72 in service with their army but do not have the opportunity to bring them to Russia. Still, bringing the T-72 from somewhere in Africa or South America is a very expensive exercise. So, in my opinion, it is probably a question of the T-72 as a kind of "car" rental for tank biathlon. Although of course there will always be supporters of a conspirology version on which this T-72 for special russian biathlon invasion army! B.R.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 Having a couple of battalions of B3Ms hanging around the place, surely can't hurt national security. PS - The reason I ask is because I've just acquired the Modelcollect 1/72 T-72B3/B3M two in one (same day as the article by coincidence).....I'd much prefer to build it as a B3M (I've got a later production B3 already) but I'd prefer to paint it in a military scheme, because TBH the biathlon schemes are vile!

Therefore, I doubt that these T-72 biathlon will be sent to regular troops. Sorry for the aviation comparison, but it's still like expecting a record Hunter F.3, suddenly to be mass produced and delivered to the RAF. B.R.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 I wasn't aware the biathlon tanks had been modified so much.....Makes the purchase seem even odder to me, that's a bunch of decent optics that would be much better used elsewhere.

Old pro Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 BMP 3M Dragun anyone have any pics of the Dragun in its latest incantation ( other than those gleaned from the web)? it it looks like the driver has been shifted to the left, and only one hatch although there are two periscope positions, this is is interesting in that it shows the Dragun next to a standard-ish BMP 3 hull, where the driver has also been repositioned, it however retains the two crew hatches. not ot sure if the Dragun will be taken into service, it however looks a cool vehicle, so trying to convert the Modelcollect BMP 3 into one, I have lots of pictures of the initial version and apart from the turret and driver positions it doesn't look like much has changed, just trying to make sure. cheers.

Sgt.Squarehead Posted July 23, 2018 Share Posted July 23, 2018 @Old pro You might have some luck checking this thread (I know there are pictures in there under the name 'Dragoon' but how useful they would be and where they are in the thread I couldn't begin to guess): http://sturgeonshouse.ipbhost.com/topic/6-the-soviet-tank-thread-transversely-mounted-1000hp-engines/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
