That's two squadron worth of T-90! With curiously, one T-72 being thrown in per squadron. And that too without ERA tiles. Not sure why.

So they replaced the LMG slaved to the commander sight, with Kord? Nice improvement, and I'm surprised it hasn't really been discussed.

But I doubt Israel's claims tbh.

The 30-40mm grenade for tank commander is very powerfull but the LV makes its ammunitions unable to reach enemy quickly. Instead of that, the 7.62mm or 12.7mm MG with HV ammunitions can suppress enemy infantry immediately.
Would they extend the ATGM fire by the T-90 cannon ? now it's about 5 km.
Egypt could get T-90MS .Merkava 4 is firing ATGMs at 6-8 km ,that range is not official but is the range of the Larat missile which could be fitted on multiple ground launchers including Merkava .
Could it be an advantage for the Merkava ?
But targeting via direct line of sight at such long distance could be limited ? unless Russia develops a targeting method that employs satellites or airborne reconnaissance to pinpoint tanks beyond their visual scope .
I think the current practical range of the ATGMs launched by tanks is about 5km as with the Russian T-90 .
Moreover both atgm can't do a lot from the front to both tanks.
Egypt can always order the Arena for its t-90.

To reach a target at 1,000m, a grenade ammunition will take at least 10s while a 7.62mm or 12.7mm ammunition will take a little over 1s. That is a huge different for moving targets including infantry.GarryB wrote:From more than 1km away you are not going to hear it coming in time for it to matter. After the first rounds detonate to the last rounds of a 10 round burst you will either have found cover or be injured or dead.
In comparison 12.7mm rounds and 7.62mm rounds need to make contact with the target so a 20-50 round burst spread over an area of 20-30m means at best you might injure someone if you are lucky. In comparison to 20-50 lethal fragments that MGs can deliver 5-10 grenades will shower the target area with thousands of small very high speed fragments... nowhere would be safe...
Do you not recognise the difference?
At 2km if you can see a target to shoot firing 20-50 round with a mounted machine gun means you might get a hit on that target if it is human sized in the first burst.... if it is a car or vehicle you might get one or two hits but you will have no control over whether those hits go through the windscreen and kill the driver or if they go right through the tailgate area and do very little damage except punch neat holes in... through... and out.
At the same range grenades landing on the ground can be 2m away from the target and shower the target in lethal fragments.
To reach a target at 1,000m, a grenade ammunition will take at least 10s while a 7.62mm or 12.7mm ammunition will take a little over 1s. That is a huge different for moving targets including infantry.
