RUSSIA'S MILITARY BUILD-UP in Syria has grown to include the shipment of a half-dozen highly sophisticated battle tanks.
Does 6 tanks equal a military build up? Is this the media playing it up - or is this something more?
T90's too. Highly sophisticated?
Engine
V-84MS 12-cyl. diesel (T-90)
V-92S2 12-cyl. diesel (T-90A)
840 hp (618 kW) for V-84MS 12-cyl. diesel engine
950 hp (736 kW) for V-92S2 12-cyl. diesel engine
Not a bad tank but the power plant above is dated. Low HP for a tank about 46 tons.
The M1A1
Engine Honeywell AGT1500C multi-fuel turbine engine
1,500 shp (1,120 kW) and only 52 tons.
