Russia may showcase its new main battle tank (MBT), the T-95 at the arms show in the Urals Region in summer 2010, a media report said.
Russia will become the first country in the world to have the 5th-generartion MBT if its military confirms the commission of vehicle in the army.
"The work on the project has been conducted for many years. If the government gives us a 'green light' we will exhibit the tank at the [Russian Expo Arms 2010] arms show in Nizhny Tagil this summer," RIA Novosti quoted General Director of the Uralvagonzavod plant Oleg Siyenko as saying.
"I cannot disclose the characteristics of the tank, but I can assure you that we have met all the requirements put forward by the military," he said.
The new main battle tank (MBT) will weigh about 55 tons and its speed will increase from 30-50 kph to 50-65 kph (19-31 mph to 31-40 mph). It may be also equipped with a 152-mm smoothbore gun capable of firing guided missiles with a range of 6,000-7,000 meters, the report said.
T-95 (MBT) will also feature better firepower, maneuverability, electronics and armor protection than Russia's latest T-90 MBT or comparable foreign models.

I’m sure they are going to pay heavily for that extra
MPH. Should be interesting to see what they come up with
but without air superiority it won’t mean a thing.

It’s mid engined? Lots of deck for a vertical
attack missile to hit. Turret looks mighty tight
does it have 360 traverse?

There is not a whole lot of information on this tank but the main gun will be 135 mm or 152 mm calibre.The gun will be located in a remotely-controlled mount to increase the survivability of the crew. The crew compartment will be located separate from the ammunition supply.

I agree. But I doubt they’ll ever meet.
We need air and naval superiority.

Air superiority against who? I don’t think they have to worry about anyone’s air power anywhere in asia. Maybe not anywhere in europe either. Definitely not anyone in africa.

Interesting. Automatic loader of course. So will the engine be in front or back? I’m assuming front, with fuel and ammunition in the center, and the crew compartment in the rear, heavily shealded, with an escape hatch out the back.
Maybe?

A barrel that long will have some definite twang to it.
