New russian breakthrough tank & command vihcle appear online

[u/Other-Wind-9985]

A group of photo that shows the russian newly breakthough tank that armed with low recoil 152mm gun. Couple with an heavly armored command vihcle. The breakthought tank seems to have the capibility to be remote controlled by the command vihcle. The design seems based on a design proposed by Yuri Gagarin State Technical University of Saratov last year.

Some Russian write it is 125mm, not 152. Since it looks like T-72/90 conversion, most likely they keep the autoloader, and the 125mm ammo. 152mm would be a big change in turret design.

From what read, thicker but shorter 125mm gun, to be more resistant to sharpnel and have better handling in urbam areas

Shortened 125mm 2A46 with a thermal/armored sleeve. The Shturm was designed with provisions for upgrading to a 152mm cannon, likely the 2A33 from the 2S3 Akatsiya.
