Tanks are good to pin the enemy in one spot, but helos certainly have the mobility in their favour.

I think both types have an important future and can evolve as the threat and their purpose evolves.

A good example is that with the new light, medium, and heavy structure that the Russians will have four different MBT types including two tracked and two wheeled with different levels of mobility and protection. If you add the BMPT type vehicles they really could have 8 "gun/missile" platforms that can engage a range of ground and air targets.

Question:
Where is the thermal sight Catherine FC placed on T-90?
Is it behind the mirrors on top of the turret or inside the Gunner's sight panel(under turret)?

Outside turret is only window and mirror with elevating mechanism. Thermal camera is inside turret.

In 1995 after chechnia campaign with K-5 ERA made a visual demonstration where properly geared up T-72 was shot at point blank 5 times in a row with different 125mm shaped/heat rounds without any penetration, it's a same tank just with ERA completely blown off and it came back on his own.

That's impressive. Any idea what causes the big fireball at the 30 second mark?

I believe that was a fuel tank. One of many.

According to wikipedia, there are some 970 or so T-90's in Russian service. The source given is warfare.ru, but it appears the site has moved. So, the question is, is the number of 970 T-90's correct?

Ah, seems you are correct.

You can even see the hole in the blown out fuel tank during the lecture towards the end of the video.

Less than half that number in reality.

Quite a number have been written off because of neglect and misuse... unfortunately a natural consequence of lack of funds for maintainence and training. Sad

Why would T-90's of all things be neglected? I would expect that even in the hardest of times, the best tanks Russia has would go to their best (and in this case, the most funded) units, and they would be taken care of.

No money, means no money. Lack of money for repairs and maintainence effects the Ferrari more than the cheap simple Lada.

And if you don't get to use something often then you are more likely to have problems mastering its use when you do start using it again.

Hmm. Guess I underestimated how bad things were in the 90's.

And if you don't get to use something often then you are more likely to have problems mastering its use when you do start using it again.

When did Russia stop using T-90's and start using them again? scratch

I even heard that Russia used T-90's in the second Chechen campaign (the most famous story being the one tank vs ~ RPG's). So its not like they were mothballed up, and then came out in the 2000's like th Tu-160's and some naval vessels.

T-90s were not used in the first Chechen conflict, and there were almost no exercises for a very long period. I rather suspect that training was minimal and ammo and fuel stocks were seriously limited...

The vast majority of T-90s were not based in the Caucasus and saw very little combat use.

No T-90s were used in Chechnya, ever.

The story about them being worn out I think was a bit over the top, as the tanks just needed major maintenance to return to service. Did they recieve it? Not sure, but for sure some are gone.
There were original T-90s, delivered in early 90s, and were mostly flogged in training units.

Technically true because the second "Chechen" conflict also included conflict outside Chechnia... T-90s were used in Dagestan during the second chechen conflict. Also T-72s were much better used, and were found to be much safer when the only main gun ammo carried was in the autoloader and not loose in the crew compartment.

You sure about that Gary?
I have not seen any footage of T-90 in Dagestan or Chechnya, in fact the first T-90s I saw in Kavkaz were the T-90As delivered in late 2000s.
There were T-72Bs with Kontakt-5, that some confused with T-90s, but I doubt you would fall for that!

Years ago, there was some talk about a unit equipped with the original T-90's (small number- a company or battalion at most) and BMP-3's having taken part in the first Chechen war. Not sure if it's ever been confirmed.

There is a pic of a destroyed BMP-3 from 1994 or 95. But I've never seen a T-90

Looks like a BREM is about to pull it out.
Tank is T-90A, location is Abkhazia if I had to guess.
