Thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) are advanced materials systems usually applied to metallic surfaces on parts operating at elevated temperatures, such as gas turbine combustors and turbines, and in automotive exhaust heat management. These 100 μm to 2 mm thick coatings of thermally insulating materials serve to insulate components from large ...
West Germany: One standard M60 was acquired from the United States for use in comparative trials against a pre-series Leopard 1 in 1964. [219] Greece: 357 M60A1 RISE and 312 M60A3 TTS were received under the Conventional Forces in Europe (CFE) Treaty in 1991 and 1992. [186] Retired from service 2015 and remaining M60s to be scrapped.

The advanced Kontakt-5 explosive reactive armour on this T-90S is arranged in pairs of plates, giving the turret its prominent triangular profile.. An element of explosive reactive armour (ERA) is either made out of a sheet or slab of high explosive sandwiched between two metal plates, or multiple "banana shaped" rods filled with high explosive which are referred to as shaped charges.
TR-125 – Romanian prototype tank based on T-72 with extra armour, new FCS, new gun, modified suspension and more powerful diesel engine. A reverse engineered vehicle, it was larger in dimensions than the T-72. Its name stands for Tanc Românesc 125 ("Romanian Tank 125"), with "125" indicating the gun caliber of 125 mm.
A turbine blade with thermal barrier coating. This blade has no tip shroud so tip leakage is controlled by the clearance between the tip and a stationary shroud ring attached to the turbine case. Another major improvement to turbine blade material technology was the development of thermal barrier coatings (TBC). Where DS and SC developments ...
55 km/h (34 mph) off road. The Merkava(Hebrew: מֶרְכָּבָה, [mɛʁkaˈva]ⓘ, "chariot")[5]is a series of main battle tanksused by the Israel Defense Forces(IDF) and the backbone of the IDF's Armored Corps. Current iterations of this tank are considered broadly equivalent to the capabilities of the M1 Abrams, Leopard 2and the Challenger 2.
Iron sights (250 m; 820 ft) Mk 42 Day Sight (3.8× magnification telescopic sight) Night vision sight. The Mk 153 Shoulder-Launched Multipurpose Assault Weapon (SMAW) is a smoothbore shoulder-fired rocket launcher. [ 2 ] It is a portable assault weapon (i.e., bunker buster) and has a secondary anti-armor ability.
The tank has a maximum road range of about 400 km and can be fitted with two optional 200-liter drum-type fuel tanks at the rear of the vehicle for an increased operational range. Like the T-54/55 series, the TR-85 has an unditching beam and a snorkel (to allow river crossings) mounted at the rear of the hull. To meet the power demands of the ...
