Hat jemand Informationen zur verwendeten Gasturbine des Objekt 225 und zur Waffenstation?

Object 225 130mm gun or 125mm 50 rounds, 36 in auto-loader, 550-600mm from HEAT, diesel or gas-turbine engine.

At the end of 1960. in the USSR began to work on advanced medium tank. The works were attracted several tank KB, including KMDB (chief designer AA Morozov), CB-3 LKZ (chief designer N.S.Popov) Tank KB CTZ (chief designer P.P.Isakov).
At the beginning of the 1970s. KB-3 Leningrad Kirov Plant (LCZ) under the leadership of development projects carried out N.S.Popova promising medium tank - "Object 225" and "Object 226". As the main gun-missile weapons to be used two ways promising high ballistics tank guns: 125 mm smoothbore or 130-mm rifled. According to the results of the contest was supposed peculiar to adopt the best anti-tank weapon.
125-mm tank gun D-89T high ballistics been developing artillery KB (from 1942 to 1958. - DB-9 plant number 9) UZTM them. Ordzhonikidze in Sverdlovsk led by Chief Designer F.F.Petrova. 130-mm rifled tank gun LP-36B been developing artillery KB Perm Machine-Building Plant. Lenin led by Chief Designer Yu.N.Kalachnikova.
One of the first reports on future tanks KB-3 LKZ held November 18, 1971 in MOS USSR at the meeting with the Deputy Minister of Defence Industry of the USSR E.P.Shkurko. The theme of the meeting "Consideration of draft future tanks 80s." Chief Designer N.S.Popov presented tank "to 225". The layout of the car was a classic, crew 3 man cannon 130 mm, GTD 1200 hp Ammo 50 pieces, 36 of them in the loading mechanism (MOH). Weight of the tank 42 ... 43 tons, the specific power of 23.5 hp / t, range 600 km on the highway, on the road - more than 200 km. Ammunition fuel capacity of 2 tons. Titanium is used in the balancing, caterpillars fingers, side body armor.
The next consideration intermediate milestones on the promising tanks held May 25, 1972 at NTS MOS USSR with the Minister of Defence Industry of the USSR Zverev. Besides projects tanks "to 225", "226 to" on NTS considered tanks "to 450" (T-74) and "to 780"; tank gun D-89T and PL-36B.
Performance characteristics (TTC) project tanks KB-3 LKZ were similar, except for the composition of the power plant: for "object 225" offered nonexistent turbine engine VTDT-1000t with a heat exchanger, and for "object 226" - 2V16 diesel engine. Tank "to 225" with a gas turbine had estimated weight 41.6 t, and the tank "to 226" with a diesel engine - 42.5 tons Armor: 550 forehead .. 600 mm, 70 mm side, the tower is 550 mm. The bottom sheet body was taken from the tank "to 434" (T-64A). The tank is planned to use the fire control system (FCS) "The Walrus", the unit commander "Crab" and periscope "whistle", which developed the CMH.
Since the late 1960s. new medium tanks KBTM (S.P.Nepobedimy) and OKB-16 (AE Nudelman) were working on the creation of guided weapons (CHC): "Gyurza" and "Cobra". With the release of KBTM phase of flight tests on the decision of the MIC from 14 January 1971 to work CHC "Gyurza" were closed, but the direction of the tank guided weapons for some time continued in relation to the MSC equipping promising medium tank "to 225" (for this tank as well worked and use CHC "Cobra"). However, after 2-3 years of work on the "project 225" and its armament were completely frozen. Nevertheless MSC managed to design and fabricate two prototype missiles, one of which was even brought to the first launches ended, unfortunately, unsuccessful.
One of the reasons for the cessation Osnonye works on tanks "to 225", "226 to" the lack of superiority over the new NATO tanks, especially new modifications of the tank "Leopard." In addition, "to 225" and "object 226" had a slight advantage over serial domestic cars and significantly inferior to draft promising medium tank KMDB - T-74 ("to 450"). At the same time due to the use of titanium in the design of the machine would be expensive in production.
N.S.Popov himself at a meeting of the USSR MOS August 8, 1973 said that "to 225" turned bad, but it could be improved. According to his estimates "to 225" superior tank T-64A ("to 434") is only 50 ... 60%. That is promising tank had no significant separation from the production of the tank, as the armament and armor protection on. Required to reduce the weight of the tank by 1.6 tons to 40 tons A diesel version of the machine - "to 226" - required to facilitate even more because He was heavier than the gas-turbine tank.
It should also be noted that the KB-3 LKZ at the time was busy working on the final design of the tank "to 219" (in 1976 after adopting - T-80), work on which had a higher priority (Resolution of the CPSU Central Committee and USSR Council of Ministers to start work on April 16, 1968). Probably because of this MTO tank "to 225" in 1973, developed by chief designer P.P.Isakovym CTZ (after termination of the project tank "to 780").
It is known that for execution of the CPSU Central Committee October 30, 1970 in KB Klimov and plant them in the KB-3 LKZ began work on creating the period 1972-1974. GTE tank with specific fuel consumption of 180 - 200 g / hp (VTDT-1000t) and the tank ("Object 219") with the engine (Decision of the Central Committee and the Council of Ministers on 3 May 1972 № 314-113 ).
Theme of the new OCD sounded like "GTE VTDT-1000t and the further improvement of the tank type T-64A with SCSU." The aim of this work was to create GTE fuel efficiency at a level approaching the efficiency of diesel tank, and ensuring further improvement of the tank with gas turbine power plant (SCSU).
General requirements for the tank approved November 29, 1972 Deputy Chief of armored forces Yu.A.Ryabovym included the following main points:
- fighting weight - not more than 41 tons of 2%
- the maximum speed on the highway - 70 km / h
- average speed on dry dirt road - 40-45 km / h
- Maximum braking power - not less than 50% of its maximum capacity in terms of the tank at the maximum speed of the power turbine;
- power reserve: on dry dirt road - not less than 300 km, the highway - not less than 550 km;
- volume booked consumption - at least 65% of the total fuel supply main tanks;
- refueling - no more than 15 minutes;
- fording depth without preparation - not less than 1.2 m
- built-in self-entrenching .
Additionally offers:
- modify weapons complex subject research "accuracy" of 13 March 1972;
- provide accommodation in the fighting compartment guided weapons "Cobra";
- set on commander's memory 12.7-inch guns with no less than 400 rounds of ammunition;
- placing mortars on the "cloud."
In the tank required to provide the possibility of evacuating the crew members through any hatch, as well as the transition from the Department of Management and fighting back (in winter clothes).
Development of a new engine had to perform as it may be installed instead of the GTD-1000t in previously issued tanks "Object 219" during the overhaul.
After approval of the tactical and technical requirements (TTT) were developed:
- the technical design of the engine VTDT-1000t;
- technical project SCSU on the tank "Object 219" with GTE VTDT-1000t.
At the end of the review meeting of projects submitted noted:
" 1. Adopted by the technical design parameters for the workflow engine VTDT-1000t are appropriate, feasible and provide a receipt given to the TTT power and economy. By the level of engine parameters VTDT-1000t close to experienced foreign GTE 1000-1500 liters capacity. s.
2. Construction sites turbokompresoornogo engine block and power circuit design similar adjusted experienced engine GTD-1000t that is justified and appropriate.
3. New nodes engine, requiring adjustments to the design are high-cooled turbine compressor 2 stage, two-stage power turbine with XRD and two-section heat exchanger with bypass spool.
4. Adopted a two-part construction diagram plate-fin heat exchanger located asymmetrically with respect to the axis of the engine, due to requirements specified layout engine in a confined volume MTO tank "Object 219M". Such configuration of the heat exchanger may give rise to warping and damage to the heat exchanger and the housing parts. Therefore, it is advisable to work with an annular arrangement of the engine heat exchanger.
5. Efficiency level of the basic units of the engine corresponds to the maximum reached at the present time in the nodes of small turbine engines. Adopted by a number of parameters of engine parts VTDT-1000t confirmed by experimental data on the test results nodes GTD-1000t. Experimental test data exchanger and cooled turbine compressor stage 2, which are the most strained nodes missing from the project .
6. Based on the comments of individual nodes to finalize those presented. engine project VTDT-1000t can be approved. To protect must submit the experimental data and characteristics of the main engine components.
7. With further development of motor activities appropriate to provide for its capacity to increase the capacity at higher ambient temperatures. "
However, in the conclusion of the project EP-1000t VTDT addition to the above mentioned:
".. .2. At the present level of domestic production of GTE and achievements in metallurgical industry VTDT-1000t increase power reserves available.
3. The most difficult issues when creating and debugging engine are:
- ensuring high efficiency turbine with cooled blades, especially when working in dusty conditions the ambient air;
- to ensure the reliability of the heat exchanger, especially when working on diesel fuels and dusty ambient air;
... 6. Those. project VTDT-1000t generally corresponds TTT UNTV and TK chief designer of the tank. "
But work on the tank "Object 219M" with VTDT-1000t were soon discontinued in favor of finishing the tank "Object 219" with GTD-1000t.
