Firepower | 💥 Enhanced Firepower Equipped with a 125mm 2A46M-4 smoothbore gun, capable of firing a wide range of ammunition, including APFSDS, HEAT, HE-FRAG, and ATGMs. | The coaxial 7.62mm PKTM machine gun and the roof-mounted 12.7mm NSVT heavy machine gun provide additional firepower. 🔫 Limited Firepower |
Armed with a 125mm 2A46M smoothbore gun, which offers a narrower range of ammunition options compared to the T80 BVM. | The coaxial 7.62mm PKT machine gun and the roof-mounted 12.7mm NSVT heavy machine gun are also present, but the T80 BVM's superior ammunition variety gives it an edge in firepower.
Protection | 🛡️ Superior Protection Features a combination of composite armor, reactive armor, and an active protection system, providing excellent protection against a wide range of threats, including kinetic energy penetrators, shaped charges, and anti-tank guided missiles. |
The turret and hull design offer improved survivability for the crew, increasing their chances of survival in combat. | 🛡️ Inferior Protection Although equipped with composite armor and reactive armor, the T90M's protection is not as comprehensive as the T80 BVM. | It lacks an active protection system, making it more vulnerable to modern anti-tank weapons. The T80 BVM's superior protection package provides a significant advantage in survivability.
Mobility |
💨 Excellent Mobility | Powered by a powerful diesel engine, the T80 BVM boasts excellent mobility, with a top speed of 70 km/h (43 mph) on roads and a cruising range of 500 km (311 miles). The advanced suspension system ensures a smooth ride and enhances off-road performance, allowing the T80 BVM to maneuver effectively in various terrains. | 🐌 Limited Mobility While the T90M is also equipped with a diesel engine, its mobility is somewhat limited compared to the T80 BVM. |
It has a slightly lower top speed of 65 km/h (40 mph) on roads and a shorter cruising range of 450 km (279 miles). Additionally, its suspension system is not as advanced as the T80 BVM, resulting in a rougher ride and reduced off-road capabilities.
| Electronics 📡 Advanced Electronics | Incorporates a modern fire control system, thermal imagers, laser rangefinders, and a GPS navigation system, providing the crew with enhanced situational awareness and target acquisition capabilities. The T80 BVM's electronics suite enables it to engage targets accurately and effectively, even in low-light or adverse weather conditions. |
📺 Outdated Electronics | The T90M's electronics are not as advanced as the T80 BVM, featuring an older fire control system and less capable thermal imagers. This can hinder the crew's ability to accurately identify and engage targets, especially in challenging combat scenarios. The T80 BVM's superior electronics provide a clear advantage in terms of target acquisition and engagement.
| Cost-Effectiveness 💰 Cost-Effective |
The T80 BVM offers a more cost-effective option compared to the T90M. | While the T90M may have some advantages, the T80 BVM provides a better balance of firepower, protection, mobility, electronics, and cost-effectiveness, making it a more attractive choice for budget-conscious militaries. 💸 Expensive | The T90M is a more expensive option than the T80 BVM, requiring significant financial resources for procurement and maintenance. For militaries with limited budgets, the T80 BVM presents a more viable option without compromising on performance and capabilities. The T80 BVM's cost-effectiveness makes it a more practical choice for militaries seeking a capable and affordable main battle tank. |
