Major Update "Firebirds" - Rumor Round-Up & Discussion (Part 3)

Ok, thanks anyway)

Ive never seen the Thai VT-4 it looks very good

Will PM you, thank you :)

First two pics are from the Zhuhai airshow, improved variant with more ERA on top and a neat drone (black thingy) and the third pic iirc is just in China, prolly them testing side ERA etc…

Those are not Thai, they are the newest Chinese variants

Thai VT-4 is a lot more basic without side and roof ERA, slat armor, APS or FY-4 (Thailand only has FY-2)

Well by the looks of it at least they aren’t cheaping out by trying to use ERA in bags, like that other nation that found out putting key armor components in bags around the tank might not be a good idea :)

Same, the only things I worry about it are what rounds it can use/be given, and it’s targeting speed for the gun. Other than that I badly want it.

If we go by what Ukraine had access to, I think it would be limited to 3BM42 (maybe up to 3BM46?) but I’m unsure if Ukraine developed new 125mm Ammo for the Oplots. As for the Oplot-T I have no idea what ammo Thailand could have for it.

Do we know what their T-64 fires? That may help

3BM42 as far as I know.

Hmm, im sure they wouldve developed their own round by now surely, especially after 2014(?) I believe it was

Unfortunately unknown, but it is known that through the purchase of VT-4 there is a large stock of BTA-4 / DCT-10, otherwise only older 3BMxy models are known, but these are only used for training purposes afaik.

They developed 3BM44U1 but it never went into production, as far as I am aware.

The Ukrainian T-64BM1M appears to use ammunition called 3BM42U-1. This appears to be 3BM60 equivalent ammunition.
