Американские Бредли и БРЕМ едут на восток...14.10.18...ЖЗ станция "Зимница" ,Болгария

Это американские тонны, не путайте, получается 61 и 64 тонны соотв.

Ну тогда извините, не досмотрел

Урана есть ТОЛЬКО в машинах США.

Тут нужен пруфЪ наличия урана хоть в одной экпортной машине . У австралийцев его нет, что говорить о саудитах, уровень защиты М1А2S которых равен IPM1.

Судя по статье, вес M1A2SEPv2  67т., M1A2SEPv3 71т. и ожидается рост. Так и до Мауса дорасти можно.

140-мм вероятнее всего не по силам закидному, поэтому введут МЗ.
Экипаж (2 чел-а) в башне вероятно посадят ниже, на манер Леклерка, за счет отказа от оптических прицелов. Соотв. снизится площадь лба башни, т.е. её масса.
Т.е. в итоге, Абрамс вполне может облегчится  , при одновременном росте защиты.

За австралийцев

Саудовские абрамы превосходят КМПшные абрамсы по броне, не применяя при этом уран(что кстати для технарей не новость вообще).

что США скопировали КМТ.

4.3 and 4.4 is about disalignment of the optics after being hit by an undefined tank gun. Under point 5. a hit by a 90 mm M71 HE round hitting the turret at 11 o'clock (i.e. right cheek of the turret front) is mentioned, the warhead of the is fuzed without delay and impact angle (relative to armor) is about 45°. The round is fired from 100 meters away, hitting 200 mm left and 500 mm below the optical range finder.

Following the hit by the HE round under 5., the following happened:

a) the gunner's sight is disaligned even more

b) the commander's sight's alignment couldn't be measured, because it broke

c) the following damage could be noticed at the rangefinder: The left opening already broke away after a hit form the 40 mm (Bofors) gun, now after being hit by a 90 mm HE round, the right optical opening of the rangefinder has broken away too. The shockwave of the detonation was enough to tear away the six screws(diameter 12.7 mm) holding in the (armored) protection cover in place. After removing the rangefinder and examining its status, it became apparent that all mirrors inside the rangefinder broke away from their mounting points. The dots and patterns inside the reticle weren't visible anymore, even though the illumination was still working. None of the mirrors was actually unfastened from the bonding, but the glass mountings broke.

d) Five vision blocks of the commander were damaged. Two are completely useless (the glass in one is broken, the glass in the other has become misty), while the others are broken, but still can be used to some extent.

5.1 The shock caused damaged to the optical connection of the commander's sight, again a mirror was knocked out of the mounting.

5.2 Further test firing according to the (planned?) hit pattern was not possible, because the hits from the 90 mm gun damaged the turret mechanically in such a way, that it couldn't be turned anymore. These damages are mentioned in the report of the test facility 91 Meppen.

4. Firing of a 90 mm HE round from the M48 tank and a distance of 50 m. One hit occured at the right turret side at the lower section, total distance to the rangefinder of the impact location was 600 mm. Result: Armored cover of the rangefinder torn away, right port of the rangefinder broken away. Turret slewing gear loosened (several screws torn away), no hydraulic operation (i.e. turning of the turret) possible anymore. Turret bearing blocks after turning a few degrees. No visible damage caused to the crew (simulated by cardboard cylinders). The tank is for the time being not fit for action.

Conclusion: The results of the hit on the optical equipment show that the rangefinder should be mounted elastically in the turret. Wether this can be achieved on the standard tank (i.e. later Leopard 1/AMX-30) without restricting the aiming by the gunner, is being investigated. It is planned to use a prototype of the standard tank's turret W 4a with fitted rangefinder for the same test firings.
