How good are these tanks? I'm guessing the decision was made cause they are cheap or because of their success in Syria? Are they actually capable tanks on the battlefield or are they just steel coffins like the T-72?

Iraq army is full of Arabs, bro. Their skills will make a steel coffin out of anything.
>>
If they're MS variants then they're already superior to the monkey model M1A1s they currently have, I can't see them being able to acquire that many though.

It doesn't say what specific version they are.
But the ones in Syria have taken a TOW hit front on and been fine.

A great tank but still no Challenger/Leopard
>>
They are cheap and not a single one was destroyed in combat. Along with Abrams it's the most proven MBT today.
>>
T-90 is no longer Russia's MBT of choice but it's breddy gud for what it does desu, has a good track record vs atgms compared to the M1
>>
>>138320390

The T72 isnt necessarily a steel coffin. Depends how it's used, like any tank.

You should ask how good is everything else compared to T-90
See, tank which needs team of formula one mechanics to keep it functional is useless.

It's a really solid MBT and is very proven in urban combat. Also has a proven survival rate against TOW. I imagine they're a lot cheaper than the Abrams and much easier to maintain/have a lower failure rate.

Considering the Ruskies are rolling out their T14 Amata, and the strategic importance of Iraq as an ally and Russia's need for allies (and money after America sanctions) you can bet your ass that they will be giving them pretty top quality T-90s, unlike the M1s they got from the USA.

Depends what version the Russians give them.
>>
>>138320390
The russian army tanks are more advanced. They have different weapon and armor systems.

I wouldnt think Iraq could afford 1000 second line tanks like T-72s, let alone 1000 first line tanks as a T-90

T-90MS is 4.5 million $. It would be around 5 billion dollars. Their defense budget is 6 billion. Perhaps they can afford it but it won't be smooth and easy.

Because russia will give them for free as usual in exchange for some shitty contracts which will end with nothing in return

Doesn't mean they will have to pay in cash or upfront at all. They are probably giving the Russians some good deals and concessions for trade/resource extraction/long term infrastructure building/intelligence etc.

war with kurds and continue the fight against isis in syria
>>
>>138321586
Exactly. But you have to consider running costs. You can't just buy tanks, you need tankers and logistics obviously, and those cost a lot.
>>
>>138320390
It would depend on which version of the T-90, regardless though the T-90 is light years ahead of the T-72 and is a pretty good tank.
>>
>>138321547

Because the Saudis are actually crypto-Jews, which isn't even some particular secret and they are just continuing the Bitter Lake accord.

T-90s can withstand bunker busters. Russia could invade Europe with the sheer numbers of that tank they have. It is the only reason any serious military has any fear towards Russia (since nukes are for crazies, not for profitable warfare).
I don't know the different models of that tank, or how desert ready they are. I am glad Iran only gets 1000. Interesting news. Maybe Assad gets a few?
>>
>>138321676
That's where the crew/officer training programs and maintenance deals come in for even more long term cooperation and value. It's a good thing IMO, proabably how proper alliances and connections are made.
>>
How good do they need to be? I mean it's not like they're fighting Americans or any other high tech nation. Not even Iran, as present day Shia lead Irak is a puppet if Iran anyway. So the tanks will just have to withstand sniper fire from guys like ISIS.

Latest M1's and latest T-90's are pretty much equivalents. Small differences in quality and design don't matter that much in the grand scale of things.
Desert Storm had the unfortunate effect of a bunch of illiterates making judgements without taking into account the complete picture.
T-90 is a lot cheaper, so I guess it's a better tank. It's also quite less demanding logistically.

all tanks are coffins. anti tank rockets are cheap and reliably destroy tanks.

even reactive armor is a joke because it can be clearer with a gun or grenade. there is no pressure detection its just c4 in between 2 steel plates which detonates on impact. c4 does blow up if hit hard. if you dont believe me check that vid of that tard smacking it with a hammer and blowing his thumb off or military channel overview of reactive armor for tanks. no electronic detonator in the diagram just c4 and 2 steel plates

There will never be any action, Arabs just get rid of their uniforms and run away naked in sandals when they are faced with an enemy.

The reason to go with T90 over Abrams is that the Abrams has a bad track record for getting hit in the rear turret and having its payload blow up. T90 has a much more secure payload.
Ironic because Americans used to constantly brag about how safe the Abrams is since it doesn't store munitions in the body and has blast doors to direct the explosion if it happens. And yet we still see it blow its top just like a T72 when ISIS posts its latest Abrams hunting video.

All the NATO tanks based on the L55 and L44 guns have similar performance. However the L55 2A6s and Challangers beat the L44 M1A2s, Leclercs and 2A5s. Also the Leopard is the esiest tank to drive.

The tanks are good and better value for money than an abrahms
>>
>>138320572
You can get 500 m1a1s for the price of 1000 t90s. And the maintenance cost of t90s is lower.

Iraq is heavily suited to tank warfare. They made the right choice.
>>
>>138328134
That's the direction it's supposed to go WITHOUT killing the crew and destroying the entire tank though. That's the part the monkey model Abrams is failing at right now.
>>
>>138328283
The Abrams has similar or better performance to the L55 leos by virtue of the fact that they use depleted uranium for rounds instead of tungsten that most nations use.
>>
WELL those t90 will be used against insurgency and "democratic" forces backed by JEWSA so they'll do their job just fine. Wish Iraq would make their own shit tho.
>>
>>138328455
True, the iraq models are pretty shit. They don't even have the DU armour inserts most Abrams have nowadays.

>>138328739
but you do. its pretty good except that shitty heli you use.
>>
>>138320390
T-90 are literally T-72s with different electronics. Same engine, same gun. But I think they will buy not outdated T-90s, but T-90AMs.
AMs have new autoloader, new weapon systems and, if you have enough money for that modification - active armor "Arena-E" which can destroy any ATGM before detonation. Also AMs have slightly modificated engine and it's not affraid of dust, sand and heat.
>>
>>138328255
The dome on a pole on top of the turret emits force field around it which prematurely activates explosives.
You need kinetic penetrators for its thick armor meaning you need a tank of the same size.

To be fair, that's only because one of their engine makers (Pratt & Witney) doesn't really know what it's doing, and cuts corners on basically everything (especially quality control).

Unfortunately, that particular company buys enough politicians in congress that they got handed the contracts for both the F-22 and F-35 jets. Oh welp.

This is where Russian deal will always be cheaper than other deal.
The cost/quality ratio is the best and can fullfill the mission.

Tank is battle proven and can survive a tow that hits it on the front.

On high number of purchased you get a discount.
Its easy to maintain, since it has the chassis of the 72, i think.

>>
>>138320390
They are decent tanks. They suffer from the standard old-style Russian unprotected ammo exploding crew compartment since operators are not a concern as per their government which kinda sucks.

>>138329618
the only thing the USSR could do properly is make tanks, so when Yeltsin just fucking gave up in '89 the only heavy industry left to spin up was oil and heavy arms. They picked up a bunch of SE Asian contracts in the 90's and that turned into their own slice of sunny 90's optimism.

Active Protection System.
Look at the gif, the tank's APS sees the projectile, launches a shell and times it to explode within range of the other projectile, exploding the warhead or making it 100% less dangerous.

Thank you.

Yes, I saw how it worked.

I remember somebody making an all electric version of this, did they ever get it working well?

So, is the Iraqi army just going to give these away to the next ISIS-type threat?

I'm sure the average Iraqi soldier is feeling pretty badass now that ISIS is on the defensive but let's not forget how they folded like a wet blanket at the start when fighting was difficult.

That shit is old meme. Both Abrams and T72/T90 will be completely destroyed with their crew if the Ammo is cooked off and said ammo is pretty easy to cook off in both tanks. Look up "Abrams hunting" and see for yourself how ISIS turns them into fireworks much like the old footage of 72s becoming the same.

We're not talking about Iraq invading the US though, but in the context of other relative regional powers.

Are you sure about that? I guess you just don't want anyone to bully your precious tonkfu
Still gotta face observable reality anon.

This. Abrams have no HE or HEAT ammo, only KEPs. Compared to M1A2s theres ~120kg of propellant in Abrams and in T-72 ~180-200kg of propellant and ~800-900kg of explosive shells.

But Abrams was created as heavy anti-tank vehicle and basically have only machinegun as anti-infantry weapon, while russian MBTs are light and fast multirole tanks made for dynamic battles and can be used as super-heavy AFV.

>(since nukes are for crazies, not for profitable warfare)
There's enough nuclear shells and small rockets with some kilotons blast.

1000 tanks is a lot of tanks, my country only has 59 tanks. Why do they need so many? Are they invading China?
>>
>>138332703
>state proven objective fact that both tanks can easily be killed by detonating their munitions
>get called a leftist for not worshiping the military industrial complex
Settle down, Chrysler employee. I'm sure daddy Trump will give you plenty of welfare to ship more steel coffins once ISIS pops all the current ones :^)
>>
>>138320390
I still remember how the iraqi army gave up when they saw ISIS rushing against´em at the begining of the conflict.
They gave up half the nation and their pride.
So congratz to whoever ends up capturing those T90.
>>
>>138328803

Doubt it. Seeing that a strong independent woman in a renault twingo could get close to that thing you simply have to use old school explosives and zerg rush it with 5-10 people and disable relevant parts...

Quite a lot of reasons really
>>
>>138329091
They can be the braves of many europeans, they simply have a more complex motivation associated with collective consciousness, if they have adequate leaders and clear goals, then they are capable of much, in Syria for example, we have reassembled an efficient army that defeats ISIS.
>>
>>138334181
What you need 59 tanks for? Afraid of war with koalas?
>>
>>138336671
Don't forget that ISIS was (and still quite a lot is) effective force too. There's also Yemen's Houthis. With right people from the right tribes, with right motivation and some education Arabs can fight wars quite well.

We're upping our MBT amount to 90 in 2025 apparently

>poo in the loo opinions

It was hillarious how the entire Indian subcontinent lost its shit watching this scene and flooded YouTube shitting on the tank, obviousy pulling it out of the context that damages regularly happen in these parkours, only to watch the Indian tank crew destroy ALL its own Russian tanks ( Poos cant even build a half assed tank themself) including the reserve into immobility on the next day and the Chinese tank making it to 2nd place after Russia with 3rd - 13th place all being Russian tanks and ended up as the biggest loser of the competition.

But no the deluded Poo knows no shame and instead celebrated his decisive victory over China anyways, because they are going to import the winner tank, got a few seconds advance over China on the first day while trashing their motors and comfort themself watching this video on repeat for hours on national TV.

Tanks are obsolete.Its remains effective only against civilians without anti-tank weaponry,like in case of a revolution,but even then,a molotov can go a long way.
>>
well their tanks. won't stand up to a modern army. but they are still tanks.

they can probably run over everybody but us,europe,russia,china, and india.
